I'm an Aquarius rising, so I had to get a bottle. In the bottle: a light fruity floral with a hint of an herbal edge. Wet: floral and bit of ozone. The throw is amazing for this type of scent. Dry: This scent really morphs over time. It started out very floral, then fruity, however the myrrh comes through on the dry down and grounds the fragrance nicely.
-
In the vial: citrus with a hint of gardenia and spiciness Wet: gardenia Dry: I am amping the gardenia like crazy.
-
In the vial: very woodsy, on the verge of the dreaded pencil shavings smell. Wet: sandalwood and patchouli Wet: the notes fuse together nicely to create a really gorgeous scent. Why did I wait so long to try this? I need a bottle, stat!
-
In the bottle: apricot, slight oakiness and a hint of ginger Wet: ZOMG, the most gorgeous vanilla evah is coming to the foreground. This scent reminds me of Underpants, but, IMHO, it is even better because it is less foody. Dry: The components blend seemlessly to create a really beautiful scent. Although the components are foody, this scent is more of a warm vanilla scent than a gourmand scent. I am thrilled to have a bottle and I certainly be ordering more.
-
In the vial: spicy and sweet. Wet: this reminds me of the scent of a funeral at an Orthodox church. Dry: Wow, this scent totally morphed. The clove and patchouli are dominant and this scent has become very masculine. A very lovely dude-fume.
-
In the bottle: incense and sandalwood. Wet: myrrh and teak come out to play. Dry: the notes blend together beautifully creating a mysterious, tres sexay scent. This is a multiple bottle scent for me.
-
In the vial: buttered roasted nuts Wet: more specifically hazelnut brittle Dry: cloyingly sweet and nutty. *alas* off to the swap pile.
-
In the bottle: slightly sweet and nutty. Wet: faintly almond-y. Dry: where did the scent go? I expected an olfactory feast, but it never materialized. Other Forumites sniffed and tested the bottle and loved it, so there is just another example of the variability of skin chemistry.
-
In the vial: aquatic floral Wet on skin: orchids! Dry on skin: orchids with a bit of damp greenery. Gorgeous!

This smells like simple syrup, the base of boiled water and sugar that is used to make drink mixes. Not what I would chose to wear, but I'm glad I got to try the scent.

Sugar-Slathered Candied Apple
Alchemy21599 replied to UberClaire's topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
A caramel apple in a bottle (or a decant vial in my case ). The caramel note reminds me of Creepy and the apple is very crisp, yet juicy. -
This scent reminds me of the smell of Jack-O-Lanterns cooked from the inside out by flickering candles. A very evocative scent, but not one that I would wear.
-
I am happy I was able to try a decant of this scent. It is a lovely creamy sweet pumpkin scent with just enough spice to not be too foody. I find this scent very similar to Pumpkin Queen.
-
Somehow I missed the custard-y spicey goodness. In the imp: a faint dairy scent Wet: um, egg-beaters I could not wash this off fast enough.
-
In the bottle: well blended citrus, ginger and pumpkin. Wet: The lemon and ginger are the dominant notes. As it dries down the blood orange comes out and is rounded off by vanilla. Dry: citrus, spicy vanilla. I love this scent because it is not cloyingly sweet and foody. My fav of the 2007 Patch (and all 2007 Halloweenies). I need at least one back up bottle!
-
In the bottle: red? musk and slightly spicy. Wet on skin: mostly musk and a hint of tobacco(?) sweetness. Dry: Alas, too masculine for me.
-
In the bottle: very dewey ivy and a wee bit of pine. Wet on Skin: uh, oh. This smells like dude-fume. Dry: OMSquee! I'm so happy that I waited for the dry down. This oil captures the scent of a chilly October morning in New England. I like it so much that I may order another bottle.
-
In the imp: sweet, slightly smoky vanilla with a hint of floral. Very complex. Wet: The smoky vanilla is replaced by sweet floral with a slightly sweet and spicy back ground note. Dry: How did this turn soapy? I tried it twice with the same results. Oh, well. I think this will be a gorgeous scent on the right person.
-
I was able to swap for a decant of CR. Many thanks to my swappee In the vial: delicious mixed berries, including raspberries and blue berries, with a bit of cardomom, under a flaky, sugared pastry crust. Wet: this scent reminds me of a warm scone heaped with mixed berry jam. Dry: A delicious gourmand scent, really comforting.

My birth story
Alchemy21599 commented on parrot_suspect's blog entry in What ever happened to Generation X?
for you and little Lily. I cannot imagine how freaked you must have been when you went in for a routine test and wound up in LDR. *shudders* I was delighted to read that you and the babe made it through the ordeal safely. Best wishes to you and your family. -
Wow, this scent was much different than I expected! In the vial the oil smelled like strong, sweet almond. On my skin, it still smelled like almonds, but not as strong. I don't care for almond scents, so this is off to swaps.
-
I received a decant of 2004 Poppet as part of a swap with a lovely Forumite. In the vial: ginger heaven with a tiny hint of nutmeg. Wet on skin: the ginger goodness is fading and the cinnamon really amps up. I love the scent of cinnamon, but cinnamon oil does not like me. (I get red welts from cinnamon oil ) I love this scent, but I will confine it to a scent locket.
-
In the vial: red musk and Moroccan spices. Yum. Wet: Spicy, musky (in a come hither way) and slightly sweet. Dry: This scent becomes insanely sweet on me once it is dry. The delicious spices are now cloying. It must be the dreaded honey amping. Drat.
-
I acquired this blend in a swap with a lovely Forumite. In the vial: OMSquee. Red Sandalwood, red musk, cinnamon, and perhaps Dragon's Blood? Deliciously spicy and resinous. Wet: I am sensitive to *something* in this blend because I have a welt on my arm less than five minutes after applying the oil.
