in the vial:lavander and sweet cherries. an odd combo. wet:mostly cherry & a hint of rose as it dries. wow. the lavander has burned away (thank goodness) and i have a cherry, rosewood, dark scented rose, w/ a hint of white musk adding a crystaline quality. this is one scent that is amazing me because i am not a fan of lavander or cherry, yet this scent works and is a beautiful medley of notes.

in the bottle: butterscotch, something nutty, wet: caramel, and yeah i agree i am getting hazelnut type vibe, vanilla, creamy yumminess. this dries sweet, nutty, dessert type scent, but not cakelike, and the butterscotch blew away. it is just that kind of warm, yummy sweet smell of hazelnut coffee w/ a hint of cream and a spoonful of sugar.

in the bottle: sweetness, and a similar green note to eden it reminds me quite a bit of eden in it's opening stages. wet: sweet and slightly citrus, it is definitely orange blossom. and that same green note. and a hint of something that tickles my nose a bit (maybe the pepper?) also quite a strong dose of tea. as it dries it sweetens quite a bit and the green note settles a bit, there is a fruity note i am not familiar with and i can just say "fruit" this must be kumquat. but the front note is orange blossom, and tea.

in the bottle: mmmm mango. fig. delightful sweet fruitiness. wet: wow the mango is so sweet it makes my mouth water and i see light golden juicy rings. as it dries this is amazingly sweet, fruity and has quit a bit of tropical throw. this is a heavenly summer scent

in the bottle: sweet yummy vanilla cake. wet: ahh a hint of currant, but still mostly vanilla yummy goodness, it smells of freshly made cake. this is light and sweet it does remind me of angel food cake, w/ currant jelly on the side. very yummy and quiet sweet and innocent smelling.

in the bottle, candy, sweet pink candy w/ a hint of vanilla, i am assuming the candy scent is the sweet pea. wet:sandalwood, vanilla, and sweet pea. reminicent of a.l. meets pink phoenix. as it dries it remians much the same but softens. it is a sweet soft very girly scent. like a.l. yet different enough to deserve it's own spot in the big bottle line up. simply gorgeous and well done beth!

all of the wee shelldoo's have their "signature scents" the list is as follows: melody the 13y/o: midway valerie 10: pink phoenix kolbi 6:flower moon landis (my wee boy):sugar cookie i would also consider dana o shee, gingerbread poppet, bliss, milk moon, chaste moon, jailbait (rofl), dragon's milk, snow white, sybaris, black opal, antique lace, peony moon, egg nog, sugar skull, alice

in the bottel 06 is a soft almost fuzzy green scent. very fresh grass like. wet: a bit more floral, but a watery floral, and still very green. as it dries it is soft, skin clingy, very soft skin type floral, yet the floral is just a sigh of flowers, not at boquet like. it even has a sweet edge to it. this is a gorgeous spring scent, i loved last years, and i think i will indeed love this years also.

in the bottle: buttery vanilla sweetness, i like sweetness, this seems like it may be a bit *too* sweet. wet:buttery vanilla rum as it dries, oh my gah! gorgeous. vanilla and sandalwood sweeteness, no need to be concerned about it being over the top. it is simply devine. perfect. i love vanilla and sandalwood combos. they are stunning, and this is no exception to that rule. i am not getting the saffron, which is a bit sad as i love saffron, yet i can't complain because this scent is gorgeous, no doubt. i creamed my pants over these creamy underpants!

in the bottle: soft, clean a slightly soapy edge. wet: intresting light floral, w/ a clean edge. as it dries it softens, i can detect a definite cotton blossom, and clover greeness, but it has something somewhat spicy reminecent of carnations, i think....*ponder* ahhh got it baby's breath, it is a soft white musky baby's breath w/ a green hint of fresh clover. it is spring personified, and i agree w/ the above poster it is a springtime snowbunny.

to me this is alazif meets m.u. it is sexy as hell, and captures nola perfectly, it even reminds me a bit of beth, i shall cherish every single drip of it! resins, sweets, a hint of coffee w/ some lusty musks....sounds liek s scent cooked up just for me (i wish)

doc buzzard is masculine in the bottle i think i am getting something mint like, fresh. on it is very clean smelling w/ a hint of possibly pepper? the mint is gone doc has a woody background, like a fresh tree branch type scent, very nice and there is a resinous undertone, as well as that candle type scent brienze spoke of. most of yall know the size of my collection by now, lets just say this will get some wear time...major weartime. i am wearing voodoo queen on one hand and doc on the other, and they are the perfect yin/yang. this will be my dh scent and i will wear voodoo queen next tikme we go out....mmmmm sexy!

in the vial: fresh is the word, followed by green wet: yes green grass, fresh green, sweet as it dries it goes a bit soapy, but not totally soap like, more like an herbal shampoo, yet it still retains it's fresh blade of grass likeness. all in all of an ozoney scent not bad.

in the vial: lighter, fresher then i imagined. wet:sweet, yet slightly dusty a hint of green, but i wouldn't classify this as a "green scent" i agree w/ some that it reminds me a bit of honey sweetness. as it dries this is faint, close to the skin, a tid bit of bark, but mostly sweetness, and a hint of green. one of my favorite of the new garden scents, no dirt to be found.

this is definitely a dusty dirt type note but it also has a sharper edge to it. this is earthy, dusty, slightly musty, did i say earthy....it does smell what i expect a fungi scent to smell like.

wet: lemon and patchouli this is citrus w/ a "shadowy" dark edge this remains a sunny lemony scent, w/ an edge of darkness namely the patchouli

yup honeydew, could almost be a single note. wet: see above. as it dries a note that is more canteloupe, blends w/ the honeydew, this is fresh, summery, and reminds me of sunshine in a bottle pss very similar in scent to the tal version.

in the vial: citrussy, clean, a touch of apple...i am not an ozone fan so putting it on makes me trepiditious. wet: minty note peeks in, now some mints i love, some go, oh no bad, on me, this one is pretty nice, the apple is still there and it is actually making my mouth gleep a bit, i am also detecting the vodka (maybe that is what is makin me gleep . this is fairly clean (assuming the mention of ozone) but definitely didn't go soapy. as it dries this becomes a lime, apple mint blend w/ a soapy edge, it is clean, fruity and pretty dang light. i like this...which surprised me a bit.

in the vial: fruity goodness, namely banana and apple wet: whooooo fresh apples, juicy and fresh and some banana thrown in for good measure. as it dries the other fruits come out to pla, all oi can say is wowser, just an amazing fruity fun scent i am able to discern each of the red apples, banana, coconut, pineapple, pomegranate, yet not chili pepper, nor sugar cane although i imagine the sugar cane is mixed in fairly well w/ all those sweet fruits.

in the vial: copal? labdanum. resinous not getting any floral. wet: i think i detect tobbacco flower here, or maybe one of the florals is combining w/ one of the resins to trick my nose into thinking tobbacco flower as it dries: sheol becomes more floral, yet a grounded floral, usually i amp up lily and it isn't really showing up so i am a happy camper. this is more resinous then floral, though i do detect a bit of what i am associating w/ iris. more of a grounded tuber type scent. this is dry, complex and sophisticated. copal is the front runner, and i am thinking the tonka is mixing w/ the iris to create something i am really confusing w/ tobacco flower. this is beautiful, dark, and not nearly as hot as i assumed sheol would be. actually i am thinking this one is my favorite of the newest batch of releases and i simply need a big bottle. eta, after a couple hours, this has become very much similar to the lion, i adore the lion, and this is just becoming better and better.

in the vial: dry, golden, resinous wet:dry, resinous, incensy. yet golden and almost shimmery, not literally but in my mind, like when heat shimmers off pavement, that i s the vision i am getting dry: yes that shimmery heat type vision is sticking w/ me. it is like a memory of incense, but i don't mean like stick incense or even cones, more like freshly ground resins, i don't even think they have been burned, i think it is the box the resins have been stored in, then when they were all used the lid was left open out on the deck, in a sunny spot, this encapsulates all of that, the sun, the heat, the remnants of resins, it is at once light and warm and golden, yet also aloof and beyond grasp. very intresting, and another i think will be a staple for me come summer.

in the vial: yes melony, and a smokey edge, but mostly melon wet:melony yes, for sure, honeydew i think. a touch of honey, and a hint of spiciness, but i honestly don't know if knowing there is chili pepper is making me think chili pepper. because i am not positive it is saying chili pepper to me. more like spicy melony sweetness. as it dries it retains much of the before mentioned qualities. there is a resemblance to fee, but while fee is in your face melon, this is soft, unassuming melon, and the tobacco and honey keep it from being over the top.

in th vial:honey, an something freshly sweet wet: herbal, yet still sweet...and something making me think fruit but i can't place which fruit. maybe juicy would be more correct then fruity...intresting as it dries i get more honey, and more of a powdery note others have mentions, although i wouldn't say baby powder, but a cosmetics type of powder, a good powder, and herbal w/ a slightly liquid undertone. very nice all in all

in the vial: shea. light fresh wet: sweet,creamy, spruce. as it dries this is a soft, creamy (i think from the shea) clean yet slightly herbal scent. very very awesome i think it will be a summer scent for me

in the bottle: just guh, sexy! wet: musky slightly herbal but not green herbs more like dried herbal. man this is sexy as hell, and i don't think it is neccesarily masculine (although i can carry masculine scents pretty well) musk is the main note, but there is definitely something of a woodish nature (assuming the bark mentioned) and something that reminds me of tobacco, fresh tobbacco. anyway it could pass as a male version of smut, and i think it would compliment smut if g would wear it when i wear smut, however i don't know if i can pass it over to him because hot damn i wanna wear this one!!!!
