Ajila

Wet on me this is very soft roses. Dry on me it's soapy leather, it fades very quickly and never has much waft.

Wet on me this was patchouli with a sweetness in the background that smells like an orange boiled sweet. Dry on me it's the sweetened patchouli still, with a tiny bit of ginger in the background. It's warm and comforting and sexy.

Wet on me this was this was very lush, wet almost rotting vegetation. Dry on me it's hot, dry and spicy. It's like the beach on a hot summers day, it's quite a masculine scent on me.

Wet on me this is lemon and grass, not cut grass which is the most common grass scent but the lighter sweeter scent of fresh spring grass. Dry on me the lemon has faded and I'm left with the grass scent and daffodils in the background. This is a very light blend and faded quickly, but I guess that's almost apt, the whole thing is like a spring breeze on a warm day.

Wet on me this was a sharp almost sour floral. Actually it reminds me of holidays I've spent on the Devon coast (which I guess makes sense - the landscape around Tintagel is quite similar). Dry on me it smells like powdery leather. I wouldn't where this, because whilst I like the wet scent of it I don't want to smell of it.

Wet on me this is very strong patchouli. Dry on me it's leather, dusted in cocoa and what smells to me like ginger. I really love this dry, its warm and comforting, but also some how sexy, I just need to decide if I can deal with the patchouli overload at the beginning on a regular basis.

Wet on me this is sparkling and light pomegranate, with a sweetness that makes it smell like jelly sweets. As this dries it becomes earthier and drier, whilst still retaining that jelly aspect. Dry on me the jelly fruit scent is still there, but it's overlaid by something harsh and chemical .

Wet on me this smells like very milky Earl Grey tea, very faint and delicately spicy, but with a creamy base. As it dries the ginger becomes more prominant, but it never takes over the blend. Dry on me it's like I've rubbed honey into my skin. There's just this sweet presence close to my skin, that doesn't particularly smell of anything, but is definitely there.

Wet on me this was rose, rose and more rose, it's a very sweet, lush, heavy rose, that's a bit too much for me. Dry on me it's much the same except it's beginning to give me a headache. Oh well I guess there are others out there who'll love it.

Wet on me this smells very green, with daffodils bobbing their heads in the background. Dry on me it smells of nothing, it's disappeared entirely, which is a pity, it seemed to have the potential to develop into something really pretty.

Wet on me this was very sweet and slightly sharp vanilla. Dry on me it's like delicate powdery florals drizzled with honey. While this is very pretty, I don't think it's me.

Wet on me this is parma violets, with a little bit of green in the background. Dry on me the parma violet scent is still predominant, but now there is the sandlewood there as well. I have to admit this is a bit of a meh scent for me, it's nice enough, but doesn't excite me.

Wet on me this is a lush wet floral, very similar to Machu Picchu but without the fruit. Dry on me it's much the same, but with occassional spikes of ginger. On me this is quite faint and doesn't hang around very long, which is a shame.

Wet on me this was soft delicate lavender, with a little lotus in the background. As it dried the lotus became stronger, but with a slightly sour edge to it. Dry on me this was that soft powdery bubblegum I tend to get from lotus, with a tiny edge of lavender to temper it. This is a very pretty delicate blend, but it's really not me.

Wet on me this was predominantly white florals, with a little greeness and a little pepper in the background. Dry on me it's quite a powdery sweet floral, with the moonflower being a little stronger than earlier. This is very much a grown up sophisticated woman scent, which isn't me at all.

Wet on me this was very light orris (at least this is the second blend with orris in I've gotten parma violets from so I presume that it's the orris that does it), with a little of the bergamot and grapefuit in the background. Dry on me it's still predominantly orris, but now the plum is there too. I like this, but it really doesn't last very long on me.

Wet on me this was heavy bitter cloves, with a bit of bubble gum in the background. As it dries the cloves fade and the bubble gum becomes more prominant. Dry on me the bubble gum is the dominant scent, but the wine has become apparent in the background. It's a dark red wine that is almost bruisingly heavy, I know if I drunk this wine I would have an instant headache, but as a scent I like it, although I'm less sure about the sweet and sour combination of the bubble gum and wine.

Wet on me this was predominantly very dry myrrh, with just a touch of leather and something that smells to me like slightly sour red wine. Dry on me it's all about the leather, the myrrh is still hanging around and the whole scent is smoother than the all leather scent of De Sade or Dead Man's Hand, but the leather is definately running the show. I like this, but I've got quite a few strongly leather blends so I'll have to try them against each other.

Wet on me this is very bitter lemon. Dry on me it's something else entirely, it really is just incredibly like a very heavy rainfall in spring when everythings in bloom. This is an amazingly clever blend, I doubt I will ever wear it again, but I'm greatful for the oppertunity to try it.

Wet on me this was sweet violets with something green in the background (I don't know if the 'green' was a part of the violet or the gardenia or something else entirely). As it dried it got greener and less sweet and then it switched completely. Dry on me this is a very dry spicy incense scent, with what I'd be tempted to say is sandalwood in the background. I like this blend, but I'm having difficulty reconciling the two halves, as it were.

... Their scent is the crisp, inviting bittersweet tang of cranberry with smoky dark lilies, heady, sensual musk, a tingle of ginger and a brush of Mediterranean spices. Wet on me this was dark acrid berries, the cranberries I guess. Dry it's sweeter, juicier and more spicy. It's like mulled wine and it'd be a gorgeous christmas blend as far as I'm concerned.

Wet on me this was honey and ylang-ylang, sweet and lovely, but a little over powering. Dry on me it's completely switched around it's predominantly the incensey scent of myrrh with what smells to me like vanilla and amber in the background. It's very nice, but I think I prefer both O and Snake Oil, so I probably wont buy any more of it.

Wet on me this was iced pears, which was a bit disconcerting . As it dried the roses snuck out, overwhelmed the pear scent and then snuck off. Dry on me this was entirely lotus, but not the very sweet bubblegum scent of lotus, but a more powdery, spicy (evan peppery) lotus. It's very sweet, girly scent and comforting in it's own way, I like it a lot .

Wet on me this is dark juicy plums , there is something floral in the background, but it's not very distinctive. Dry on me this is very similar to how it is when it's wet, it becomes a little more floral, but the plums are very much predominant. I was concerned that the jasmine would be over powering in this blend, but it doesn't really show up at all. On this is a refreshingly sparkly blend that manages to retain a great deal of depth. I like it a lot.

Wet on me this was fizzy (which is how I seem to smell white musk) apricots, it particular it seems to have the slightly earthy edge of the apricot peel. Dry on me this is the same as it is when wet. I like this, but it doesn't last very long at all, oh well it's pretty whilst it lasts.
