Coldfire

Imp: sandalwood and rose

Wet on Me: sandalwood with traces of patchoulie…and rose.

Drying Down: the rose is quickly rushing up and covering every other note.

Dry: Alas…this turn to all rose for me. Rose does not like the Coldie.

Imp: rose and gardenia having a tussle

Wet On Me: Gardenia and Jasmine for the moment.

Drying Down: More vanilla now over jasmine and gardenia. But soft.

Dry: Still soft vanilla gardenia and jasmine. So far they are holding the rose at bay so that it can’t sour this for me. This is pretty.

Imp: medicinal vetiver. The medicinal reminds me of eucalyptus

Wet on Me: more vetiver than medicinal now. Ze vetiver it does not like meeeeeeee

Drying Down: this is musty sooty vetiver. Really does smell like a smokestack.

Dry: I can honestly say this is not for me. Off to the re-home pile

Decant: green and sharp. Almost medicinal but not too offensive

Wet on Me: Oh yeah…total green but clean fresh crisp green in the best of ways

Drying Down: green and peeps of floral dancing in. Green is getting its swerve on with some flowers GO ON GREEN!

Dry: this blended into the lush green of a summer’s evening. Now hard to pick just ONE note..thisis allgreen and lush and dancing with flowers…..aaaahhhhh the lovely

Imp: soft…kinda musky…

Wet on Me: amber immediately went to baby powder on me

Drying Down: Still Baby Powder. Man my skin just does not like Amber….altho Baby powder foes not smell bad perse…it’s just if I want to smell like baby powder I’ll reach for the Johnsons’s.

Dry: Alas…still Baby powder. I’ll just re-home this.

Imp: total food! Pineapple upside down cake

Wet on Me: Cherry Sweet Tars over Pineapple Upside Down cake.

Drying Down: the pineapple went away and took cheery cherry with it….now I’m getting toffee and turkey!

Dry: Toffee and gravy. Yes I am so not a foodie person.

Imp: I get sassafrass and cedar and hints of balsam

Wet on Me: cedar and sass….and oooo I’m loving it!

Drying Down: ooooo slight bits of vanilla come out with the cedar…interesting. The sassafrass is still being sassy.

Dry: a warm vanilla sassafrass with cedar underall, and if I sniff long and slow I catch the ghost of Balsam. Oh I am loving this!

Imp: oooo pretty.

Wet on me: prettier! Ginger and Tea and pretty on me!

Drying Down: Prettiest! still such a delicate gorgeous blend of the white tea and ginger. WOW!

Dry: Prettiestestesteses I am seriously swooning over this. I feel feminine and girlie but strong at the same time. This dances under my nose. And it has been dancing beautifully for a few hours now. This makes me want to dance at dusk with the faeries! Totally bottle worthy!

Imp: sandalwood and myrrh that feel like the Cocoa Powder Fairy left wispy traces floating over all

Wet on Me: a touch more cocoa powder over sandalwood and myrrh

Drying Down: the cocoa dustings have simmered down…a touch of the vanilla comes forward and dances with the sandalwood.

Dry: this dried to a soft vanilla infused sandalwood with faint memories of the cocoa fairy

Imp: food. Black Currant tarts. and sugar

Wet On Me: very foodie. Spices and black currants.

Drying Down: oh the rose is starting to come out now….it’s

food and air freshener rose. Man I wish I did not amp rose so badly.

Dry: oh this did not blend well on me. Sending this to

the re-home pile

Bottle: lemon and Jasmine….and hints of a really well mixed margarita. This is a clear summer day on the patio.

Wet On Me: Lemon…but not medicinal lemon, Jasmine still, hints of lime and I think the sweet is the candied tamarind.

Drying Down: the lemon pipes down now and the jasmine gets tempered by the marigold. Something sweet is really trying to say hello here.

Dry: hmmm getting the smell of clean fresh baby here. Lilith seems to like making her presence known…even in her namesake perfumes. This is just a nice soft, warm summer blend that just makes you feel happy for smelling it.

Bottle: I get electric or ozone and the breeze

Wet on Me: snow, crispy dry ozone, the snowdrop the cedar and cypress the barest trace of the berries. Crisp and clean and yes….electric. That sharp before a fierce thunderstorm

Drying Down: less ozone and electric and more aloe and cedar and cypress with the hints of berries. Still smells a bit like just before a storm

Dry: this dried down just lovely. Still smells of electric in the air. The ocean breeze without the salt. And yes…I do smell magic in this. Glad I tracked down a bottle. This is WIN!

Decant: metal and man

Wet on Me: metal and the tobacco flower and the balsam in a very nice blend. I smell like an old boyfriend and damn he was goooood!

Drying down: geds this is good. Metal and man and balsam and tobacco flower…and the teeeenist sweetness of musk..but nothing to take away from the MAN! Srsly…I need to go slather this on my man and just……..well ya know

Dry: this thing dries like it starts….wrapping me in a warm cocoon of metal and man and yumminess. I can’t stop huffing my wrist. I have to close my office door so I don’t get funny looks. What is it with me and metal scents? \m/\m/

Imp: Heavy. Heavy like a Led Zepplin Riff.

Wet on Me: sweet spicy heavy. Okay this is what I’m smelling as ole Led Zepp is crunching away thru Kasmir.

Drying Down: Heady and Heavy…this is Page and Plant right in the thick of it. All in your head and in your mind and taking over. Chugga chugga chugga..oooooooooooooooooooooo yeah yeah oooooooooooooooooo yeah yeah

Dry: deep spice with the sweetness coming from a touch of the orchid. The opium and benzoin are drifting tendrils round my head. I’m just laying back into this scent and letting it and Led Zepp carry me away…and the Led Zep is only playing in my head.

in the dec ant...clean and fresh and slightly green.

Then on me..I get ozone and evergreen. with teases of a very pale floral.

After it dries..Spice over wood.

Ginger, Spices used in pumpkin pie, then I get woody undervibes and then buttercreamy and maple? Finally...Oh Snap! It's gingersnap!

can't get a handle on this. Like a Kalaidascope of scent notes. I get dusty, vetiver, old wood, musty, sour, resiny.....

Medicinal at first....then sweet with a hint of tang then sweet and incensy...vanilla sandalwood? Quite pleasant and not intrusive.

at first in the decant...sour and pickled. Then it gives off a bandaid scent when I first apply it. then later...Clove?

MALE!

METAL! \m/\m/

OZONE!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! MIne mine mine!

Must.Have!

Beth you scored BIG time with this one. I'm currently having massive nosegasms! Geds this reminds me of an old but good boyfriend from long ago....

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this one! This is a holy grail to me. I LOVE THIS! All ozone and metal and MALE! huff huff whiff whiff SWOOOOON!

I get earthy, dirty citrus that is musty and dusty....1 sniff smells really good..the next sniff not so good. This swings and morphs like a fiend! Then it dries and I get pine? vetiver? pine sap? Resin-y. BUt still with touches of citrus

Dark Color....Dark SCent.....Dark Vibe. Old vibe. old and spicy and musky, and earthy. Patchouli? Musk? some sort of spice...I thought I could detect cinnamon there for a bit while it dried down.

mmmmmmmmmm the love. I get the mint and some eucalyptus and a green aqautic to this. Am I catching Ozone? ))))) And drying down....WOAH Nellie I love this even more. This is another one of those that are right up mah scent alley!

From this in the decant I got a neroli or heady orange blossom vibe. Somewhat sharp but not bitter. AS it dried I got some ginger/spice vibe to it. tropical for sure. If I were going to the islands for a vacation, I would want to wear this.

In the decant...Sharp Lime and citrus leaf. Charp but not bitter. Drying...ozone and citrus LOVE! Almost like Embalming Fluid...which is LOVE! THIS is one of those nose glued to wrists scents for me. A WINNER!
