In Vial: Astringent, medicinal Wet: Dried leaves and vicks vapor rub. Wow this is really medicinal. Dry: This has changed significantly. Still smells like dried plants, herbs and weeds. Reminds me of a funeral bouquet has died and dried. Very true to name.
-
In Vial: Pine-sol and roses. Wet: Wow! really strong. Roses are powerful in this. Dry: Strong Rose.
-
In Vial: Smells weird, like mint chocolate. Wet: Sharp. I don't even know what this smells like. I think it's floral but not typical Dry: Now it has mellowed to something recognizable. Definitely roses.

In Vial: Sweet and juicy Wet: Cherries and something else but mostly cherry. Dry: Cherries have fainted but still perceptible. Floral is the strongest. ADDED Jan. 11: in vial: sickly sweet with almonds wet: same sickly sweet smell with more almond oil. Reminds me of the way home made cherry pie smells but without the foody aspect. Almost like a cherry pie perfume. Morphing now to something that smells more like perfume. Not so sickly sweet. I cannot distinguish the individual notes, or could possibly be I don't realize what I am smelling. I know the almond has faded. dry: I"m not sure how to describe the drydown result. It reminds me of perfume on a hot summer day after you have been sweating. This one is not for me.

In Vial: woods Wet: Outdoor, trees and wood. Dry: This has gotten stronger and is astringent. Smells like fresh cut wood.

In Vial: Fresh and clean with a hint of lemon Wet: Mmm.sweet. Smells like lemon sugar cookies. Very sweet and syrupy. Dry: A nice light lemon sugar. Not foody anymore.
-
In Vial: Strong and offensive Wet:This is awful. I will see if I can describe this- bandaids, medicine, chocolate and stained wood. I am really surprised this is what I am getting considering the notes. Doesn't make sense to me. Dry: This has gotten lighter but to me still smells terrible.
-
In Vial: strong floral Wet: very flowery. Reminds me of my grandmother. She loved flowers. Dry: Smells like lemonade and flowers. This reminds me of drinking lemonade on the front porch smelling flowers in the yard.
-
In Vial: light and fresh with a hint of lemon Wet: Subtle mint in the background and something that smells like pine-sol. Dry: This has gotten a little soapy and fresher. The toilet cleaner has dissapated. Nice light and fresh.
-
Vial: Sweet and complex Wet: Smells like fresh fruits with a hint of wood. The wood is getting stronger. Dry: Smells sweet and fruity but aged or cooked fruit, not fresh. The subtle hint of peach is in the background.
-
In Vial: Soapy floral Wet: Oh this is nice. I don't usually like florals. This is getting a bit powdery. Now it is baby powder. It has gone downhill fast. Dry: Yeah this is mostly a powdery floral with baby powder. On me this is headache inducing.
-
In Vial: Stronger than I expected. Wet: A bit perfumey. Wow this is even stronger. Dry: Has the essence of an authoritative, commanding woman. Fits perfectly with it's namesake.

The Rising Sun. She is Ostara, Easter, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of fertility and the dawn. She is a protector and friend to all children. Her scent is that of softly glowing skin, jasmine, buttercup and honeysuckle. In Vial: Sweet, soft floral Wet: Super sweet floral. I smell the butterup the strongest. Dry: I don't usually like florals so this is not for me. It is a typical floral.
-
In vial: vodka Wet: Mmm. Almond and black cherry. Really getting cherry coke from this one. This smells exactly like cola lip smackers from when I was in grade school. Dry: This has morphed into a spicey cola.
-
In Vial: Wonderful Vanilla Wet: Now the ginger is coming on strong
-
In Vial: Blueberry and ginger Wet: This is fizzy. Smells like a light, fruity carbonated beverage. Dry: On me it is all gin.

In vial: grapefruit and lime Wet: wow this is good! I can smell the other notes blended but grapefruit and lime are the strongest. Dry: This doesn't end well.
-
In Vial: wow! buttery rum Wet: light and buttery, getting a hint of pineapple now. Spice is coming on strong. Dry: This fades quickly to a ginger spiced scent.

In Vial:Crisp clean floral Wet: Smells like soap Dry: No longer smells like soap but more like a light yellow floral.

In Vial: Rose Wet: Roses Dry: All I get is roses all the way.
-
An utterly feral, thoroughly rousing perfume. Red patchouli sweetened by orange blossom. In Vial: Strong, deep and rich Wet: I don't like patchouli but I guess the red is different. I smell the orange blossom, it is like a light spray of orange mixed with a deep rich scent. In the background I get a hint of bandaids. Not sure what that is. Dry: Gets lighter . Orange blossom becomes stronger. Bandaids fade.
-
In Vial: Strong wood and patchouli Wet: So strong like stained wood and the earthy dark scent of patchouli.
-
In Vial: Sweet foody plus vinegar - strange Wet: Sweet sugared nuts. This is Christmas foody smelling to me. More clearly now this is smelling like roasted pecans. A small hint of carmel sweetness and lemon, but more along the lines of lemongrass rather than a citrus lemon scent.
