In Vial: fresh green lovely with a hint of green Wet: Sweeter, powdery, a hint of something that smells like lemon Drydown: Powdery, soapy with a hint lemon
-
In Vial: Strong floral Wet: Even stronger. The violet and lavender are most prominent. Drydown: The sandlewood is coming into play, the florals are still lively. I would not call this a quiet scent, it is a very strong floral. .
-
In Vial: Smells like baked goods with a fresh green scent Wet: Yep, still the same. The mint gives a bit of tingle to the nose when sniffing. Dry: Foody scent, sweet, with a hint of refreshing mint and sage..
-
In Vial: butterscotch Wet: Butterscotch, the clean smell of soap and wood bark. Odd combination I know, but doesn't smell too bad blended together. Drydown: As it drys I can begin to smell the beeswax. It has the scent of bark mixed with a light scented perfume. This is an interesting combination, one that I find I like, very unique.
-
In Vial: Really strong, smells like an old lady's perfume Wet: Powdery floral, very powdery Drydown: All I'm getting is baby powder with the hint of floral.:
-
In Vial:sweet fruity floral Wet:Very nice, not your average floral. The sweetpea makes a difference in the overall blend. I am not able to pick out the other individual notes. Drydown: You know I just figured out what this reminds me of. The perfume 'love's babysoft'. I don't even know if they still make it but I used to wear it as a pre-teen. This is a nice floral, but I still cannot pick out the other notes.
-
In Vial:Rotten coconut Wet:Sweet, milky coconut, I smell the shea butter too. Smells a little like suntan lotion. Drydown: Very light and lightly sweet as well. A delicate scent of milky coconut with richness of shea butter. Not over powering. Warm and comforting. Reminds me of laying on a beach watching the sun go down over the ocean.
-
In Vial: apples and cheese? Wet: Still apples the cheese smell is fading, I smell a hint of dead leaves. Drydown: It gets sweet upon drydown. I can't really pick out anything but the apple scent. The other scents probably blend to create the background scent I am smelling behind the apples.:
-
In Vial: Pungent! Smells like cologne that has been aged for a while Wet: (Thick dark oil) I smell the Vetiver and the cedarwood. No cinnamon yet. This is very strong. Drydown: Smells like the greeness of a forest and strong men's cologne. It has nostril burning pungence that shows no signs of fading. Masculine scent.:
-
In Vial: strong almond scent Wet: Almond with the honey coming into play Drydown: Vanilla and almonds. It's not very foody but is a nice comforting scent. The vanilla is now becoming the strongest note with just a bit of sharpness from the 'grains' that smell like almonds. update: This has become my most favorite scent since writing this review. It reminds me of the comfort of a warm kichen baking all kinds of sweet goods. I wear it mostly daily in some form of a spray for linen and bascially whatever I can find because I just love it everywhwere.
-
In Vial: Smells like toasted mixed nuts with a little sugar Wet: Still smells nutty. Woodsmoke is getting stronger. Sweetness lingers behind Drydown: Woodsmoke is the strongest, I smell the sharpness of the tar, it burns my nose a little. The sweetness is a little stronger and lingers in the back ground This scent is very accurate to its name.
-
In Vial: I’ve never smelled dragon’s blood before, so I guess this is what I’m smelling with a bit of spice. Wet:Somewhat medicinal and tangy Drydown: smells like cinnamon candy but not too strong. Not bad. Later…the cinnamon is gone and I smell only what I am guessing to be dragon’s blood with a hint of clove. Evoking Color: Definitely red and btw this oil is a cool bright red as well.
-
In Vial: floral perfume Wet: I smell flowers and apples. Very sweet. Drydown: Still very sweet, fruity floral. Smells a bit perfume-y still.
-
In Vial: sweet water with tanginess and salt. Wet: Stronger, sweeter, the tanginess is sharper Drydown: As it dries it gets really sweet and may have some floral in it. After trying several aquatic scents together (Lightning, Danube, and Tempest). I have discovered that Lightning has more of a bite to it than the others, more peppery.
-
In Vial: very light a tad bit of spice Wet: Very light fruity floral. The aquatics give a nice back drop to the other notes. Drydown: So light it is hardly noticeable. I have not been able to really pick out any distinctive notes. It smells like a fruity, floral blend with a hint of aquatics.
-
In Vial: smells foody, like ginger and buttery cookie dough Wet: Light, more floral, less foody Drydown: Very light scent. Smells of floral with a backdrop of butterscotch. Still smell the faintness of ginger in the distance.
-
On me this is all roses. I do smell the soapy scent others have mentioned but it is far surpassed by the rose. The only way men would be attracted to me in this is if they really like the smelll of roses, and maybe they do.
-
In Vial: medicinal *second sniff* smell the lime Wet: ooh! pretty, not at all what I was expecting. Soft. I smell a hint of lime and florals, then something warm. It may be the amber. Very nice! Drydown: Well it is now all amber and powdery. I will make this one into a spray so I can keep the wet notes longer because those were my fave. Evoking Color: In the begining, citrusy green. Drydown-soft candlelight.
-
In Vial: Strong floral with a bit of citrus Wet: Pretty much the same as in the vial Drydown: As it dries the plum is really starting to come out. I don't smell the citrus anymore, but do get a bit of florals wafting in the background. This is the most plum I have been able to get out of Bpals oils. I like it. Evoking Color: Purple
-
In Vial: smells like limeade Wet: Strong lime with nice floral in the background. As it dries the floral is getting stronger. It is really a lovely mix. Drydown:Really lovely. It is equally lime and lilac. There is a hint of a baby powder smell in the background but not enough to put me off. It is lightly sweet. I cannot really see a man wearing this. Although I have not taken a poll I will just say I find that it would be gender neutral and loved by women too! Later... the musk is making an appearence. The lilac is fading in the background but is still ever present while the lime and musk dance together. I am now beginning to smell the more masculine side, but I would still say it is very gender neutral. One person in particular keeps coming to mind as I smell this. The Lex Luthor character on Smallville. I think this is the type of cologne he would wear. If any of you out there know what I'm talking about, pm me. Evoking Color: Lavender
-
In Vial: dark fruit mixed with floral Wet: Sweet, fruity, floral. Smells of berries. Drydown: Pretty much stays true as when wet. A fruity floral with a hint of berry. Evoking Color: Purple
-
In Vial:Yummie sweet orange. Smells like a tropical drink Wet: Orange with a buttery sugared scent. I smell the hint of pepper, keeps it from being too sweet. Drydown: Foody. Buttery. Almost like orange flavored butter cookies.
-
In Vial: super sweet, floral and pretty with a tiny bit of citrus Wet: Really strong but also really pretty. The florals are even stronger. I think the citrus is still in the background. This also smells like it has aquatic notes. It reminds me of pure, crystal clear water and the sweetness of flowers. Very feminine. Drydown: The scent of this is really beautiful. It gains more depth as it dries.
-
In Vial: fruity floral with a hint of sugar cookie Wet: sweet citrus cookies, foody, probably because of the vanilla. Reminds me a bit of baby powder. Drydown: The lemon is coming out more, and less foody but still smells like baby powder. Another morph and there is no more lemon. I smell mostly vanilla, musk and a little floral. Evoking Color: Light Yellow

In Vial: sweet water, the eucalyptus gives it a freshness. Wet: Smells like clean laundry but sweeter. Definately invokes the image of things underwater. Gives the feeling of being cooled by water, or cool water rushing over you. Drydown: Smells like refreshing water and honeydew melon only a tad sweeter. Very refreshing. Literally makes me feel cool on the inside. Really like this scent.
