Wet, I get a tea note and a little sharpness, but as this dries, it turns into lavender Snake Oil with just a touch of powder on me, which is quite possibly the best scent I never knew I wanted. I may need to acquire more of this.

So I think I have a new favorite GC scent... I've been wearing only Incubus for the past 4 days In the imp Incubus is almost straight caramel, but there's something that keeps it from being overpoweringly sweet. On me, mostly caramel, but the nicotiana, sage, and musk give it a slightly spicy, tabacco-y undertone. There's a tiny, tiny hint of cool from the mint if I get really close, but it's almost unnoticeable. This doesn't really morph on me and lasts for hours and hours. Additionally, I think this one might get even more awesome as it ages

To me, this is almost and exact duplicate of Monsterbait: Underbed, aka BEST BPAL EVER (that I can only wear on the back of my hands or I get red and itchy). So basically... awesome. It's a dry cocoa scent with a slightly cakey undertone, with slightly less throw than Underbed but also minus the redness and itching.

This blend, at least to me, is one of those that doesn't morph at all- bottle through hours of wear is the same very sugary smell others have described, with just a hint of florals in the background. It doesn't have much throw, but is quite strong up close. I love this!

Chaos Theory III: Strange Attractors MCCCVII (1307): Bottle: Citrus-y, really almost soda-ish. Wet: Very similar to the bottle, but instead of a general citrus, it's orange. Also, a dry note starts to come out, I'm bad at this, but it might be a tiny bit of leather? Still quite reminiscent of soda. Dry: This is one of those blends that stays basically the same throughout the whole wear period, it's orange with a hint of something dry or dusty to balance out the sweetness. The strange thing is that though I get orange and soda (or at least carbonation) it doesn't smell at all like orange soda. Basically, I love this. Citrus is my favorite, and orange is the one that works best on me. Unfortunately like most citrus blends, the throw is very faint (I have to be within a few inches of my wrist to smell it) and it doesn't last all that long. It's sort of a dilemma, because I love to wear it and would totally slather it on every couple of hours if I knew I could get more, but since I can't, I hardly ever wear it. Chaos Theory III: Strange Attractors LXXXVI (86): Bought from eml298 here on the forums. Bottle: Sharp, herbal, and green. Wet: Mostly the same as in the bottle, but it seems a little sweeter and not so harsh. Dry: Again, fairly similar. It loses the sweet note it has wet and goes bitter. Still very, very green. Interesting, but not something I'd wear regularly- it's very un-perfume like.
