gangstaknitta

In bottle: very woodsy and clean but not overpowering; there is a faint top note of herbal scents. Very light and clear. Wet: this scent morphs into something completely different on my skin! It smell a lot like Neutrogena sesame seed oil, but not quite as sweet. It's warm and clean at the same time Dry: very much like a cleaner version of the body oil. I dig it, but maybe not enough to buy a big bottle since I have so many others that I want to try.

In bottle: light florals and a bit of spice over fresh, wet dirt Wet: on my skin it gets a little sweeter--I think because of the spice, which my skin tends to amp up anyway. It's a little musky, but in a naughty girly kind of way and that yummy dirt smell is still in the background Dry: it dries pretty light--just the right amount--and smells like sweet dirt with just a hint of spice. I'm keeping this one around for a while.

... Offerings of milk, honey and sweet grains were made to placate these creatures, and it is that the basis of the scent created in their name. I was really excited about this one. In the bottle, it smells a bit like my oatmeal and milk shower gel. Very creamy and light and natural smelling. On my skin, however, the almonds dominate everything else. Almonds also have the obnoxious habit of smelling like play-doh on me after about 10 minutes and it doesn't go away.

In bottle: pretty complex...musky, sweet (a little candy-ish, but not overbearing) and a slight bit creamy Wet: very fruity and lots of amber and maybe a little bit of floral? Not sure Dry: it went very very soapy on me, but still a little fruity. It smells like generic grocery store floral hand soap, unfortunately.

In bottle: it smells like orange peel--fruity and sweet from the vanilla. Wet: still very sweet and orangey, there's a musky fresh-dirt scent underneath but it's very very light. Dry: a biting sweet spiciness emerged; a little like clove and orange but a bit creamier--I can't smell the vanilla distinctly, it just enhances everything else. After a while, the vanilla comes out more. It smells like dark orange and vanilla. It's a little overpowering. It smells like a foody-floral. It's a nice scent, but a little strong for me.

In bottle: strawberries and champagne Wet: Um, like Mr. Bubble and cucumber Dry: champagne comes out more, and it smells a like antiseptic and somewhat rancid. I can barely barely smell the strawberry. Yeccchhh.

In bottle: smells a little like Snake Oil, but not as sweet or strong. I can smell the tea scent, but it's not at all like it is in White Rabbit. Wet: this is like the "daytime" version of snake oil...a little less intoxicating, but still all the yummy spiciness. Dry: Very little morphing from the bottle scent. I had to slather it on a bit heavy, but it kept on going for nine hours. It's really really good.

At first I really like this...it smelled like sweet grass and soft flowers. There's a little bit of spice in the background. As soon as I get it on my skin...cinnamon. Nothing but. I smell like a red hot. It fades a little bit, but still overwhelms the other notes on my skin.

In bottle: very soft; mostly honey, with lilies in the background. It's sweet but not overbearing and the lilies aren't too strong Wet: still a good balance between the lily and honey Dry: the honey fades very quickly and I'm left with that lily-old-lady scent that I hate so very much

In bottle: rosy and a little bit fruity, with a green note in the background(?). Not overly sweet. I can't really smell the tobacco so much. Wet: the rose goes a little powdery on me, but the tobacco comes out more and tones it down. It smells a little deeper, if that makes any sense, but the rose is still the dominant note. It's not strong at all. Dry: the tobacco and vanilla come out more, but the scent fades a lot and I have to keep applying it. I really like it, but it doesn't stay long enough.

Wait! I have one...I have fallen in love with Moon Rose. Have you tried it? I had a problem with most roses going very powdery on me. Moon rose smells like fresh roses to me, but not powdery at all. I find that I only have to touch up after 7-8 hours or so.

In bottle: very incense-y; maybe a little sandalwood and def. a sweet floral behind it all--maybe magnolia or gardenia? Wet: I think that's gardenia...but it also smells kinda bubble gummy. Dry: Initially, it smells like a powdery floral bubble gum...I'm not digging this so much. Later: just a lighter version of baby powder/bubble gum.

In bottle: very fruity and dark Wet: apricot laced with the plum, still a "dark" base note..very dark and fruity. It would be a good winter scent. Dry: a muskier note comes out and the fruitiness is toned down quite a bit...I'm really liking this a lot more than I thought. It dries a lot softer than it smells in the bottle I'm going to try it for a few more days.

I was hoping to try this as a room fragrance. In the bottle, it smells very woodsy and green and like antiseptic. I don't really want my house to smell like this, i have decided. I wasn't going to try it, but ohhhhhhh it got on my skin anyway. It smelled like Mr. Clean and lasted for far too long.... edited for poor spelling.

In bottle: very patchouli...and much sweeter that I anticipated, but it's a "dark" sweetness, no doubt due to the incense Wet: the patchouli takes over everything...it smells like old man cologne on me Dry: the patchouli eases up a bit and a green note (the mosses, I presume) come out more. It smells a little like incense in the background. I think there's still too much patchouli on the dry-down for this to be a favorite. I like the note of dirt that I detect in it, though and it does have pretty good staying power.

I have been so very anxious to get my hands on this...and now it's here!! In bottle: definitely very honey; I can smell the gardenia too and maybe a hint of mint? This is only my second lunar oil, but I can kind of pick out the "lunar oils"--a tiny bit minty and creamy, without being sweet Wet: The honey is not as strong on my skin. Again, it's a little creamy--very interesting. It's like a floral-honey. I like it. Dry: the florals are vibrant but not overbearing and honey mellows everything...it's a very nice blend. I'm so glad I finally got my hands on it!

In bottle: smells exactly like the description, the roses are not powdery at all and the leather is very warm and not too masculine Wet: roses (a little powdery) and leather Dry: the rose comes out more and goes powdery on me…sadness. The leather is barely noticeable through all of the rose. Maybe if I layer it with something...

In bottle: merlot, roses (strong and sharp) Wet: strong merlot scent...I hope it tones down because it masks all of the other notes Dry: the merlot and leather dry in a nice combo--earthy but with a little tang from the wine. Maybe the myrtle comes out more? The merlot stays, but fades more into the background. I like it a bunch.

In bottle: a lot like SO, but sweeter--peach Wet: SO and peach, very similar to SO, my husband smells sandalwood Dry: dries down to a nice "skin scent" but spicier; goes really well with my natural skin scent. A more toned-down version of snake oil--I swear, everything in this last batch smell like a slightly different version of snake oil!

In bottle: sweet ginger, a little creamy Wet: ginger, a little fruity Dry: yummy! The ginger fades a bit and it smells a little sweet, but creamy. A very soft skin scent. Ordering a big bottle of this...

Bewitching, tantalizing and dangerously seductive. A thrilling, exotic blend -- deceptively sweet, but spiked with malice. White ginger, jasmine, and a touch of vanilla and apricot. In bottle: ginger is very sharp; combined w/jasmine--too sharp. Can't smell the vanilla Wet: very ginger and jasmine, a little sharp, almost kind of like pine Dry: faded very quickly; ginger and jasmine give it almost a woody feel--not really my thing. It would make a good shower gel scent--it's an energizing scent.

In bottle: spicy leather, mildly sweet; not sure what tonka bean is like, but there's a kinda of sweet-earthy smell to it--tobacco? Wet: leather and sweet spice--very much like it was in the bottle. Very warm but not sugary sweet. Dry: like a naughtier version of snake oil, and less sweet. Everything smells like snake oil to me--good thing I like it. ETA: so this is what I get for testing perfumes during "my time of the month." After that one glorious week of leather and spice, this scent now only wants to smell like vanilla baby powder with mulling spices. Stupid hormones .

In bottle: plumeria is the strongest, sweet (tuberorse, magnolia) Wet:lots of plumeria, a little sweet too--magnolia comes out more, but it's not overpowering like a lot of magnolia scents Dry: plumeria and powdery rose…a bit sharp; the magnolia is so light that it fades into the background

In bottle: very clean but not sharp; like laundry Wet: like laundry, a little green in the background, like fresh-cut grass, not sweet Dry: very green with an earthy scent underneath; I really like it. I'm going to try it out with my oil burners.

In bottle: honeysuckle tempered by something--maybe the "skin" component Wet: honeysuckle, a little powdery, but not bad Dry: soft, sweet honeysuckle. A little too sweet for me, but will try as room fragrance; has pretty good staying power
