Imp: oh my my...this is bad...it's everything I hate; so much rose and musk with a lavendar linger... Wet: reminds me of medicine...sticky purple cough syrup

Imp: all juicy apricot, no clove Wet: hint of clove; still very fruity; reminds me of pie...a bit tart Dry: nice! would mix with a cream as its a bit too fruity sweet

Imp: blackcurrant and tart is quite strong, which is great! I do detect rose in the background...I hope it stays back there... Wet: darn...the rose is stronger now that is on my skin; it's still subtle compared to other rose scents, but... Dry: the rose lingers too much; I would tolerate it with a bit of cream added to it...

Imp: honey, ginger, and black tea are present Wet: mmm...I normally don't like linen, but its nice and clean here...the ginger, honey, vanilla, and black tea are gorgeous; I would like more milk...no white pepper that I can detect Dry: would like more cream base, but overall it's a nice tea scent; if you like Ichabod Crane or Shadwell I would try this

Wet: yup, its mandarin and fig...nice, but I'd like some cream of some sort... Dry: pretty; a keeper

Imp: subtle vanilla and sugar, mostly exotic spices Wet: again, the exotic spices are OK, but I need more creamy sugary vanilla

Imp: very strong orange, but not in a sweet way... Wet: the raspberry is coming through, but the neroli is giving it an off smell...kind of sour Dry: smells soapy...not good

Imp: I know it says honey and herbs, but I smell grapes... Wet: smells too green and herby...no honey that I can detect

Imp: ew; soapy plum with herbage undertones Wet: oh yuck; cheap dollar store soap smell

Wet: heaven; meat is the perfect description, because this is definitely not coconut milk; so rich and creamy and juicy... Dry: heaven; exactly what the perfect coconut oil should smell like

This smells exactly like a Mexican fruit cup from the flea market...melons, chilipepper, lime, etc; it smells exactly as advertised...sadly not a smell for me

Imp: gag; almond extract; Queen of Sheba is supposed to be a straight almond note, but this smells more like a straight almond note...sickly sweet... Wet: myrrh and musk is the aftereffect, but the almond is still strongly present

Imp: unlike Grog, this is a spicy rum, redolent of the actual liquor from Puerto Rico... Wet: sweet but without the butterscotch of Grog...but kind of a sickly, almond extract sweet... Dry: starting to smell medicinal; not loving this at all; I don't think I can layer it with anything to make it more pleasent, either...

Imp: mmm..Aubelitas hot cocoa with dark red wine...yummy... Wet: whoa, the blood scent is coming though...musky...interrupting my cocoa and wine experience...the rum is now coming though!! yay... Dry: really rich and dark and nice...a keeper

Imp: very flowery with a hint of tobacco and honey; no chocolate or wine Wet: now the balsam is coming through...musk rose as well...no wine or chocolate...tobacco and honey more subtle... Dry: all balsam; tobacco and honey gone; rose is present as well...not a wonderful smell on me

Wet: smells exactly like the two notes promised: white tea and ginger; very zesty Dry: didn't change a bit; too biting; I would layer it with Kuang Shi bc I think the flat mango orange notes of Kumiho would be brightened by the too zesty white tea and ginger in Kumiho

Imp: mostly mango and orange; very juicy and fruity...kind of like candy for kids Wet: still very fruity; the musk and sandalwood is so faint, practically not there, which is kind of nice bc I don't like musk or sandalwood; however, something is needed to cut this juicy fruit scent... Dry: I would layer it with Kuang Shi bc I think the flat mango orange notes of Kumiho would be brightened by the too zesty white tea and ginger in Kumiho

Imp: I smell all three notes distinctly: orange, patchouli, and ginger. Wet: orange is getting lost with ginger and patchouli...doesn't smell too promising... Dry: ugly combo on my skin; like the siren, the ginger is overpowering; however, I think I can save this with a creamy layer of another oil...

Imp: yum; imagine a smoke shop; sweet tobacco (I think bc of the tonka) and a splash of spicy rum; so sexy! Wet: so sweet; is that the chardonnay? but dark and smoky tobacco; delicious; i want to smoke myself! imagine a classy martini bar... Dry: this is a definite winner; I'm torn between this and Antikythera Mechanism...if you love the former, you will love the latter as well

Imp: Gag; jasmine overpowers the imp and the white ginger makes it spicy; no vanilla or apricot Wet: it's even worse on; the ginger and jasmine just explode; I can taste it in my throat... Dry: no vanilla or apricot; ginger and jasmine so strong...very bad combo on my skin...smells acrid...must wash

Imp: sweet butterscotch schnapps Wet: sickly sweet butterscotch; I love butterscotch but I think I need to mix it with something... Dry: toned down, but now its plastic butterscotch.. Verict: layer with something like Bless or Velvet for maximum pleasure

Imp: sweet coconut, actually...coconut milk, really... Wet: very sweet; honey rich; milky; less coconut...no grains... Dry: very sweet; almost plasticky; an almond note... Verdict: I would layer this with another scent for maximum pleasure

Imp: slightly aquatic; spicy violet; touch of tonka or incense, can't yet tell... Wet: again, I get that aquatic note, but from what I can't tell...definitely violet, which is fine with me...I don't smell the incense that I can tell, anyway...nor the tonka Dry: violet is the strongest note and overall throw...I like it, but I would probably want to tone it down with a touch of Dana o Shee or something else creamy/milky; if you do not like violet, stay away from this one; otherwise, give it a go!

Imp: golden vanilla and musk, though the musk is subtle and I don't know if it's gilded; I dont detect the sandalwood or amber or moss... Wet: ummm...creamy, buttery, golden; I normally detest musk, amber, and sandalwood, but again, the musk here is nice and subtle, kind of gold like the vanilla; I think the amber is playing off that well; no sandalwood or orris or moss... Dry: really quite beautiful; since Im not a fan of musk/sandalwood/amber, I was obvious hesitant to try this; however, it's golden and warm and sensous...give it a try

Bottle: warm; kind of gingerbready but without the sweet tone; dark Wet: still warm, still gingery, but losing the breadiness; can't really detect the olive or beeswax notes...but there is a mellow, subtle undertone Dry: fades quickly Verdict: a nice subtle scent, but without any distinct "wow me" factors; also, since it fades so fast on me, I would have to overapply for a scent that just is really just kind of OK
