In the bottle: Ooo. Sweet and spicy with a bit of undertones. Wet: Hello, knock you over at 10 paces. Woodsy, sweet, and a bit of spice that my nose hasn't decided if it likes or not. Drydown: Very woody, almost like pine sap. Think I smell a bit of ginger in there too. Will have to test around boyfriend in a month when he comes to visit.

Bought this from the lab in a set of 6 imps as a curiosity thing. Brings luck and alleviates depression? Sure, I'll give it a shot. First note: This stuff is STRONG going on. One dab on the wrist and then rub it in, and you still may overwhelm yourself. I'm not sure what it was supposed to smell like, but on me it went WRONG. Sickeningly floral and soapy with a bit of baby powder. It made my sinuses start wailing too. Think this is a no-go for me.

Wet: Strong leather, with rosin on the back note. Being pulled up against a leather-clad dark figure in a back alley, nose pressed against the person's chest. Dry: Softer, not as intense, but still amazing. The leather still dominates, with rosin and hemp playing counterpoint to it. Deep and masculine. Curious as to how this would pair with Fighter.

It was a bit hard to smell this in the imp, as all the scents that were sent with it mixed with the vial smell. Wet on skin: Was not sure if liked. The musk took over hard at first, with a bit of steel underneath. Dry: Oh gods. If I could imagine an armory with used leather and steel and sweat, this would be it. I couldn't get my nose away from my wrist for the life of me, and I'm praying that it smells as amazing on the boyfriend as it does on me. I'll be getting 5 ml of this for myself for Christmas. Rawr.

This one smells better in the bottle than it does on me. D: Oh woe! I bought a bottle of this, expecting it to be dark and sexy and mysterious, and it was...in the bottle. On me? After drydown I got this light, powdery smell. Not a bad smell, mind you, but not at all what I was looking for.

Coyote is one of those scents that I -wish- was a bit more animalistic on me, but I still love it. Definitely better a few hours later on me when it's had a chance to blend with my natural chemistry. It helps that Coyote happens to be my spirit animal. <.<
