Herbs and peppers - now waiting hopefully for the fruit, but it disappears into my skin before that can happen. Damn.
-
In imp and on, wet: Lovely lilacs and a hint of lemon. If only it would stay like this. Drydown: All the other notes come out. All at once. There are so many of them that I get only a ''it's okay'' vibe. Pity.
-
So this is copal resin? I need much more of that note! This is so wonderful, a touch too manly on me, but I'll really enjoy the imp. I am now on the lookout for anything containing copal resin.
-
God-awful horrible on me, and I don't know why. I love all musks, love grapefruit, and can't imagine that strawberry leaf would be the reason for the super-sweet, nausea-inducing smell I'm experiencing.
-
I am so in love with Coyote. It's a soft, amber, musky, woodsy skin scent. The only thing keeping it from being perfect is that it is SUCH a skin scent that I have to slam my nose into my skin to get a whiff no matter how much I apply.
-
First on: strong coconut with a trace of spoiled milk. Near drydown: completely morphs! Cool water with a touch of muguet de bois - love this. Far drydown: have to put my nose against my arm to smell, but it's lovely, soft, sweet, and deep.
-
In imp, and on, wet: cedar and smoke (I agree with the previous poster who said it's the cedar wood, not the needles). Near drydown: dead ringer for my Daddy's aftershave worn when he was young and healthy. I love this part. Far drydown: very faint, fresh and slightly sweet if I bury my nose in my elbow; doesn't last.
-
First on, wet: such strong vetiver that I feel momentarily blinded and short of breath, thankfully reined in a bit by a strong, fresh pine, not the juniper kind that makes me nauseous - not washing off because of the pine. Near drydown: still only the 2 notes, but the pine has more firmly clamped down on the vetiver. Now wanting to see what happens later. Far drydown: Wow, what a change! The vetiver and pine are faintly in the background. There is a strong scent of smoke and cloves, with a touch of musk. This is lovely after a few hours, but I probably don't want to revisit the first 2 stages.
-
I third or fourth Dee. I love Cathedral for its resins, also. My spreadsheet lists Cathedral as ''a less complex, less sweet Dee''.
-
First on: clove -even though it's not listed, that's the strongest of the many scents I am experiencing. Clove, grounded by something earthy, maybe the amber. Drydown: a wamr, yummy skin scent. I love this, just with it didn't fade so quickly.
-
This is horrible with my skin chemistry - smells like some sort of decaying non-human something. I suspect my skin really dislikes melon.
-
Rancid corn chips - had to run to wash off - soap and water didn't do it, had to use alcohol. Horrific.
-
In imp, and on, wet: beautiful sweet cherries. Almost immediately thereafter: Hurt, burn, itch! Must wash off immediately! The thing is, almond doesn't always do this to me. I am very confused.
-
In the imp: Caramel corn. First on, wet: Caramel corn next to a river. Drydown: soft skin scent. Nope, not for me.

Add me to the list of ''it's only rose - where's the leather'' complainers.
