In the bottle: grapes? this smells like a rasin for some reason... wet: this smells exactly like cranberry sauce cooking...a perfect tart cranberry with hints of sweetness. dry: it smells of dried cranberries, a light boquet of gentle flowers (lily definitely in there) and spiced wine or cider. Yum. final: this smells too much like food for me, so into the swap bin it goes.

In the bottle: i had to go and make sure my window was closed after sniffing this...it smelled like it was about to pour outside. Wet: Sage and ozone Dry: This is like a storm you can feel right around you, ready to unleash fury onto the earth. This is one oil that ive tried that truly 'perfumes the air' around me. this one is so going to be a big bottle when i get my check.

Uh.....i dont think this one likes me. In the bottle: prunes and licorice, my hand to diety. I tried it on anyway. Wet- Licorice!! I hate licorice! Dry: woodsmoke, licorice and hot toddys. Final: this is sosososososooooo not for me. It's posted in my swap thingy as of now...hopefully someone else get more joy out of it. -runs off to scrub wrists clean-

why oh why?! this smelled so gorgeous in the bottle....and when i put it on, it turned into an almost exact replica of my fathers 'citrus musk' aftershave. i almost scrubbed my wrists raw trying to get it off. dracul is not for me....into the swap pile it goes....

in the bottle- jasmine and wet buttercups wet- this smells exactly like the sun rising on a dew-filled meadow in the mountains. dry- if anything could smell like the color of pale yellow, this would be it. this smells like a bouquet of fresh-picked buttercups, honeysuckle and jasmine. I love this scent, even though i normally hate florals. This is a perfect scent to wear when you need a comfort or pick-me-up smell.

someone was lovely enough to sell me a decant of this....and as soon as i opened the bottle to sniff, i was so proud of myself for buying a second bottle of this, one with 2 imps worth in it. in the bottle- at first, nothing. second sniff- i almost inhaled the bottle because my sniff just grew and grew and grew, trying to take it all in. wet- pineapple, coconut and something i cant quite catch.....its dancing around the edges of the pineapple. dry- vanilla, lily, pineapple, a cold flurry of snow across my wrist. i've had this on for a whole 10 minutes, and this is now firmly in place as number 2 on my all time fav. list. overall- i love this. love love love. I saw it at yuletime, and didnt order it . I'm so glad that people sold me implings of this- this scent is a pure braingasm. added after wearing for 4 hours- this may/may not be related to the perfume, but i all of a sudden have a lyrical tint to my voice...everything i say sounds like i'm singing....which my mother promptly dubbed 'the snow white effect'

from the bottle- Gingersnap cookie!!!! wet- I can almost smell the lotus, but i smell the honey and ginger more and i want to nibble on my wrists. dry-mmmm it smells like handmade whipped cream mixed with sweet spices and a hint of ginger. i am going to wear this whenever i need to be reminded of working at a dessert station in a kitchen- this perfume smells utterly edible.

got this in a swap. i think because i've worked with food for pretty much all my life, i associate everything with food first and then other things. To me, in the bottle this smelled like a strong cup of oolong tea- dark, earthy yet refreshing. Wet- so strong! the feeling of ancient woods is surrounding me. Dry- i could roll in this scent for days. It smells of trees, tea and a hint of water....three of my favorite things!

In the bottle- Smelled way too girly. Berries and sugar scented I'm so glad i tried it on! Wet, the berries overwhelmed, but 5 minutes into wearing it, it changed completely. This scent bring to mind sitting on a mountain porch during the summer with a stick of incense burning. On me, i got a myriad of flowers/berry bushes and a wisp of musk rising to the top.

First sniff- smelled like sour cherry cough syrup (sorry, but it did) Wet- Turned to such a strong rum that i got dizzy. 1 hour- turned to almonds for half an hour; then back to rum. Dry- Rum and faintly of buttercream. This scent stays on for hours...remains strong even after a washing. hellcat is not for me...going to try it in diffuser next.
