Ajila

In the bottle - Dirty, murky lavender with just a hint of orange blossom Wet on me - Muddy herbals with the lavender sitting on them Dry on me - Slightly sweet earthy blossoms Overall - A pretty blend, but not something I would wear

Smells - Geraniums Works - It's hard to say given how erratic my periods and related symptoms are at the best of times, but it's definitely soothing, without making you shut off completely so it's good for work.

Smells - Lavender with a hint of cream/slash vanilla Works - I haven't found that this helps me get to sleep much quicker, but once I'm out, I'm definitely out and it takes a fair bit to wake me, which is unusual. Great if I don't have to get up the following morning.

In the bottle - Strong and sharp pine with just a hint of almonds in the background Wet on me - Something clear and deep and dark and cold like a glacial lake with just a hint of something smokey/woody (think Herr Drosselmeyer) in the background Dry on me - Clean airy mush with just a hint of almonds Overall - This was very faint on me and whilst it's an intriguing scent I can't see me wearing it.

In the bottle - Possibly just the slightest hint of honey, but overall it's barely there. Wet on me - Barely there at all honey, with just a hint of greeness Dry on me - At first it's a highly floral honey, but it dries to a faint liquid sugar scent, silken and golden in hue. Overall - This is very, very faint, but I do like it, I may try it in a scent locket

In the bottle - Cherry coke, with a very slight backing of marzipan Wet on me - Soft and powdery orange peel and almonds Dry on me - Berryish sweet with a dry reminder of pith drying to an almost airy musk Overall - I like this alot, it's unusual in it's dryness, I'm not certain if I'd wear it much though

In the bottle - Sweet sugar/caramel very similar to beaver moon Wet on me - Muddy frankincense and sparkling myrrh vie for dominance. Only a slight waft of sweetness remains Dry on me - A soft sweet scent with an unusual tang of bitterness from the olive leaves and pepper from the resins Overall - Very unusual and pleasant to wear, but it doesn't excite me.

In the bottle - Dirt and mosses, dark and autumnal Wet on me - Leaf litter in the autumn Dry on me - Deep and earthy and somewhat musty Overall - This is an incredibly evocative blend, but I can't imagine ever wanting to smell like it.

In the bottle - Lavender, geranium and earthy cocoa Wet on me - Lavender and digestive biscuits Dry on me - Soft and creamy with a soft citrus on top. Like a lemon sponge soaked in cream Overall - I like it, but it doesn't excite me.

In the bottle - Chocolate orange mixed with coconut Wet on me - Very bitter chocolate and orange blossoms Dry on me - There's a terrible moment when this smells like fake florals over burnt chocolate and ashes , but it does settle down to a gorgeous dark chocolate covered ginger nut buscuit sort of a scent . Overall - I love the dry down, but i don't know if I can handle to scary middle section

In the bottle - Something medicinally clean and herbs Wet on me - Something soapy and something quite astringent and chemical. It smells oddly familiar, but I can't quite place it Dry on me - After a while it dries to a warm sweet spice like patchouli dipped in vanilla ice cream . Overall - I love the dry down, but I don't like the first couple of hours

In the bottle - lily, lily and more lily Wet on me - Predominantly lily softened by the orchid and a touch of plum Dry on me - As it dries the sweet/tart berry of the plum becomes more defined, just touched by flurries of orchid Overall - I liked this more than I thought I would, lilies, jasmine and ylang-ylang are all bad notes for me, but with the plum taking the spot light this was really pretty

In the botlle - Sweet florals with the sourness of jasmine Wet on me - Bittter and smokey herbs still backed with jasmine Dry on me - Soft powdery florals that dry down into a sweet vanilla musk Overall - I like the dry down, and as florals go the wet stages were pleasant enough, but this blend is so far away from being something i would wear.

In the bottle - Cedar and leather Wet on me - Cedar, but buried under something sharp and medicinal Dry on me - Clean leather fading to a slight vanilla with whisps of tobacco Overall - I think that I had overly high expectations of this blend, so whilst it is nice, I'm finding it hard to muster much enthusiasm for it

In the bottle - A kind of oddly high pitched incense Wet on me - Rose and acrid soap Dry on me - Sweet softened incense Overall - Light and dry and barely there

In the bottle - My nose says apples (which seems unlikely) sprinkled with salt water (which seems more likely) Wet on me - Soap Dry on me - Fresh and clean, but undeniably soapy Overall - Mostly soap really, I don't know what else to say

In the bottle - Cream and cooking spices Wet on me - Clean linen, but somehow evocative of warmth Dry on me - Creamy vanilla like a mug of warm frothy milk sprinkled with spices Overall - I like this a lot a definite bottle for the future

In the bottle - Very woody sandalwood and something rougher Wet on me - Warm and spicy with a slight green kick from the vetiver Dry on me - Warm golder amber peppered with other notes that seem to rise and fall at random. Overall - To me this blend seems confused, I certainly was wearing it.

In the bottle - Soft fruits like those in Xanthe with a touch of spice and what smells like the lily Wet on me - Kind of bubblegum florals, but not lotus Dry on me - Berryish fruits with a hint of spice to enliven it Overall - Fresh and bright, but with sexy undertones. I like this a lot.

In the bottle - It's very faint, coconut and maybe a hint of ginger, but barely there. Wet on me - Predominantly sandalwood and something slightly unpleasant that I can't quite place Dry on me - Fades quickly to a faint sort of aftershave spice Overall - A little faint, but something I might experiment with

In the bottle - Sweet carnations, with just a hint of sweet pea. Wet on me - Powdery sweet peas Dry on me - Sweetened lily Overall - Innocent, soft and pure, does exactly waht it says on the tin and as a consequence is completely not for me

In the bottle - Coconut rum, actually this does smell like Malibu with a smidgen of butter lobbed in Wet on me - Apple, but oddly cold and distant apples Dry on me - Indistinct creamy custard Overall - I like this, but I'm not wowed by it.

In the bottle - Ginger, with just a tiny bit of wood Wet on me - A harsh, almost metallic, tang of clove Dry on me - Harsh ginger and clove, finally fading to a soft creamy vanilla Overall - I like the dry down, but in general this blend was a bit 'meh' on me.

In the bottle - Actually I was going to say that it smelt of iron filings so I guess that would be steel. Wet on me - Sweet and powdery (almost violets, but not) Dry on me - Sweet and warm and somewhat indistinct Overall - A surprisingly comforting belnd, one I could definitely warm to

In the bottle - Caramel (please don't turn into ashes) Wet on me - Sharp cinnamon Dry on me - Slightly sweetened incense, warm and creamy, but faint Overall - I'm suprised at how much I like the dry down on me, but it is very, very faint
