  1. Wet: Ooooo, lots of snuggly musk with a sweet, creamy milk note. Warm. Comforting. I want a blanket that smells like this!

     

    Dry: Pretty much spot on to the wet stage, only slightly sweeter! 

     

    I like this. I know it's not something I want to smell like often, but I'm happy to have a decant!


  2. OG Sugar Skull is one of my favorite Weenie blends ever.. I have high hopes for this!

     

    Wet: Sugar Skull and pumpkin syrup? The original definitely has some maple syrup going on, with this one I'd say it's like a pumpkin-dosed maple syrup. 

     

    Dry: This one doesn't really morph on me at all; it's still Sugar Skull plus pumpkin syrup! 

     

    Like Sugar Skull? Like pumpkin scents? You'll probably like this.

    For me, I prefer the original Sugar Skull to the pumpkin version, but I do quite like this! Holding on to my decant. 


  3. Wet: Sweet aquatic with leather and rubber? There's a lot going on here, and my nose is confused.

     

    Dry: Super salty, slightly sweet, aquatic. Tiniest bit of leather. No Snake Oil here. What is going on here?

     

    I actually don't mind the dry down at all! It's... nothing at all like I was expecting, but I don't think I'm alone with that opinion. ;)  


  4. Wet: Oh man, this smells like a wax tart I used to burn YEARS ago! I agree with zz that the lollipop note here seems to be apple, but there's something almost a tiny bit tropical smelling here too. Apple with pineapple, maybe? I'm getting the tiniest amount of Snake Oil in the background.

     

    Dry: Sweet, tropical candy and Snake Oil. YUM. I still think it's apple in here, maybe some pineapple, maybe some orange? Maybe it's just the candy note mixing with the Snake Oil that smells tropical to me? Who knows. Don't care. It's awesome. :P 

     

    This WILL be upgraded to a big bottle.

     

    (To those wondering, since I mentioned an apple note; this is nothing like Coral Snake.)


  5. Wet: Cocoa powder and Snake Oil! Much stronger on the chocolate part than the Snake Oil.

     

    Dry: Sweet milk chocolate (no more "powder" scent) and Snake Oil. Super straightforward, they work very well together, and honestly.... I like this better than Boomslang. I'll see myself out.

     

    Considering upgrading this one to a bottle!


  6. Wet: Something here straight away is reminding me of The Other Miss Forcible. Something smells a bit like.. butterscotch and tobacco? I think you could see the confused expression on my face if you were in person next to me, because this scent is throwing me off. Not getting any Snake Oil, or popcorn.

     

    Dry: Ah, the Snake Oil makes an appearance! There's still something here that's giving me a The Other Miss Forcible vibe; I don't know what! Something about that scent makes my nose kind of crinkle up, and it's happening here too. (Not in a good way.)

     

    This combination of notes just isn't working for me.


  7. Wet: SOUR BLUE RASPBERRY SNAKE OIL GUMMY CANDY. I wasn't sure about sour candy with Snake Oil.. but it is GOOD.

     

    Dry: I would say there's more of the sour gummi candy than Snake Oil upon drydown; it's also less sour than the wet stage. 

     

    This is such a fun scent, and like all my other Snake Oil blends, I think this one will get even better with age. Potential bottle upgrade, for sure!


  8. Wet: Oooo, more red musk and cotton candy! This seems to be a popular combination as of late. It doesn't actually smell like cotton candy to me, though; it's more like... red musk and  (cherry or strawberry) starburst. 

     

    Dry: Still red musk and starburst! Yummy. Into it.

     

    I really like this, but I'm not sure if I need a bottle since I already have Kai Kai (red musk and cotton candy). 


  9. Wet: Honeyed lillies!.. and that's it.  Rooting for the white pear to make an appearance! Also, this villain has some THROW.

     

    Dry: The honeyed lillies are still the stars of the show, but I'm getting the white musk now as well. Sadly, the pear never made an appearance. A tad bit powdery.

     

    If you're a lover of lily scents, this may be a winner for you! It's just not for me.


  10. Wet: Creamy goat milk and marshmallow with lavender. 

     

    Dry: Smooth, milky, creamy lavender. Comforting and dreamy, to the max. 

     

    It probably doesn't need to be said (again), but this would be a fantastic sleep scent. This might be a bottle upgrade for me, as I can't stop sniffing my arm!


  11. Wet: Spicy carnation and a touch of vanilla! I'm not getting any of the bourbon at all.

     

    Dry: The carnation smells slightly spicier than the wet stage, and I'm still not getting the "bourbon" part of the "bourbon vanilla". Otherwise, this remains very similar to the wet stage. 

     

    I like this, and if you're a fan of carnation, I think you'd really enjoy this.


  12. Wet: Blood musk (which smells pretty darn similar to red musk) and cotton candy.  Yum! 

     

    Dry: A very sweet strawberry cotton candy and blood musk scent! If you've tried Kai Kai, it smells similar to that(on me), but with the sweetness amped up.

     

    Since I have a bottle of Kai Kai already I won't grab a bottle of this, but I'll definitely keep my decant! 


  13. Wet: I might be shocking someone by typing this... but it smells like cherries and patchouli. (Patchouli being the stronger of the two!) I'd agree with torikitty that it's a woodier patchouli here.

     

    Dry: I was hoping for a 50/50 (or close to) tango between the patchouli and cherry... but now it's more like 95% patchouli and 5% cherry. :( 

     

    If you're a fan of patchouli-dominant blends, this is worth trying out; I really wish the cherry note was stronger, though.


  14. To me, the hair gloss smells SPOT ON to the perfume. 
     

    Cake? Vanilla? Currants? All boxes here are checked!

     

    As a word of warning, I would say less is more with this one; she has some SERIOUS throw, and staying power! If you’re like me and only wash your hair about twice a week, you’ll be able to smell this in your hair still the next day. Plan accordingly. ;) 


  15. Wet: Lavender and rosewater, with a tiny hint of Snake Oil. STRONG on the lavender!

     

    Dry: Ah, Snake Oil has made her way front and center! Snake Oil, and lavender. 

     

    I got the dry down that I wanted, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Snake Oil? Love! Lavender? I enjoy from time to time. Together? .... Undecided.


  16. Wet: Mint, sugar, and plum! The mint note is by far the strongest, and I'm hoping it calms down a bit on the dry down.

     

    Dry: The good news is that I no longer smell any mint! (Not much of a mint fan.) The bad news is... I can't really smell anything else either. 😐 This smells like a very vague musky-berry scent, with a hint of vanilla.

     

    Not sure where this went wrong on me!


  17. Wet: What a fresh scent! Pine, moss, bergamot and lavender. This reminds me of being in a forest, surrounded by pine trees. Totally evocative.

     

    Dry: The pine has faded, but you can still smell it a bit. The bergamot is still going strong, and I would still characterize this as a very "fresh" pine forest scent. 

     

    Holding on to my decant!


  18. Wet: Coconut cream and buttercream! I'm not actually getting much of a cake scent.

     

    Dry: Not getting cake still, at all. The coconut cream is very, very strong on me, and I have a feeling it's overshadowing all the other scents (including the buttercream at this point).

     

    In my head I was comparing this to Senator Barrial, but they are not alike at all; in SB the cake note is the strongest on me, and I far prefer that scent to this one.

     

    Not my jam, sadly.


  19. Wet: SPOT. ON. Chocolate lava cake. You can smell the gooey inside and everything. IMO, this is more dark chocolate than milk. Also, she has some STRONG throw!

     

    Dry: This remains pretty much spot-on to the wet stage, just a little lighter in throw.

     

    It's not one of my favorite chocolate scents, but I like it enough to hold on to my decant.


  20. Wet: Whoa, there's a lot going on here! It took me a while to actually pick out individual notes, but here's what I'm getting from strongest to least - beeswax, Dorian, lavender, popcorn, and oak. Really gorgeous.

     

    Dry: Sadly, this is not nearly as lovely when it dries on me. I'm still getting Dorian, and the faintest hint of lavender, but everything else has faded. Also.. where on earth is the Snake Oil?! :( 

     

    I'll hold on to my decant and see how this ages.


  21. Wet: Ohhhhhhhhh. This is a warm piece of bread, slathered in sweet honey. Total comfort scent.

     

    Dry:  Darn. The honey is more mild now, and the bread is just.. not special anymore? If my warm piece of bread slathered with honey was forgotten about and left out for a few hours, it would probably smell like this.

     

    I think I'll save my decant though, I bet this would smell AMAZING in my hair!
