    In the Bottle: Sugar Cookie Wet: Vanilla, tea, and lemon. This smells like a sweet and feminine Dorian variation, but without the darkness. Dry: a peculiar deep smell. I can only imagine this is the amber, patchouli, musk combination. Overall: This one was the winner for me. With Alan McMicheal in a close second. I ran out and bought a back up bottle because I loved it so much. It's a very sweet almost foodie scent.

    In The Bottle: Floral musk with whispers of amber. Wet: Amber, Berries and a complex smell that you can't quite place. Dry: Soft and sweet powder. The complex smell from above stays and adds to the smell of the powder Overall: This has to be the most complicated scent of the Crimson Peak line that I have smelled. It's a floral musk with fruity complex undertones that dies down to an aristocratic, soft, feminine smell. I imagine that this is what Vanessa Ives would smell like. I'm very tempted to buy a back up bottle.

    Dr. Alan McMichael

    In the Bottle: Cloves, Smoke, and a greenness that smells almost medicinal. Wet: Smoke and Cloves. There is a masculine sweetness to this. Dry: Sandalwood and cloves. It smells masculine and comforting. Like a warm blanket by the fireplace as you sip clove tea on winter night. Overall: I love this scent. I wound up buying a back up bottle of this. This one has to be my second favorite of all the Crimson Peak scents. It's a more masculine scent, and much warmer than it's Sir Thomas counterpart.

    Sir Thomas Sharpe

    In the Bottle: Sexy and sweet. There is a heavy smell of men's cologne. It smells very similar to 'Wild Country' from Avon. Wet: It simmers down pretty quickly. The overpowering men's cologne takes a back seat to a sweet vanilla musk smell. I wouldn't call this scent 'Unisex' but I would say it's mild. Dry: Musk. Pure. Musk. It's very heavy and thick. I can't detect any of the loveliness that it had before. Overall: This is a very masculine cologne that has a lot of complexities in the bottle. It was not my favorite of the Crimson Peak character scents. I was looking forward to Dorian's Dark sexy cousin. Instead I have a heavy masculine scent. I can see why many people adore this scent. However, it is not for me.

    Delirium

    Hmm, I find Delirium to be a very adept name for this scent. It's utterly Fruity/Floral, and I think that perhaps this is a little too bubbly for me. Wet: Apples. Dry: Fruity, but the roses come through very strong here. It stays on your skin for an average amount of time. It's not a favorite, but I assume someone who loves fruity florals would go crazy ::wink wink:: for this scent.

    Blood Kiss

    With a name like Blood Kiss, and the fact that it was in the all time favorites category, I expected this sent to be IT. But alas, I smelled like wet Robitussin. Wet: Cherry cough syrup. Dry: Musky cherry cough syrup. I won't be purchasing this again, but I feel like it has a lot of potential for the right skin combination. Always, get an imp first! You don't want to spend 20 bucks to smell like cold medicine.

    Belle Époque

    Upon reading the description, I was SURE this one was a keeper, but no, apparently my skin amps florals and spices. Wet: HOLY WHITE FLOWERS BATMAN! I kind of feel like bathroom spray. I smell like a giant WHITE FEBREEZE FLOWER. It's VERY strong, to a point where it almost bothers my nose. Dry: As it drys down the floral is less so, but I can smell the slight sweetness of the perfume. It's very light and girly. It lasts for a very long time.

    Black Cat

    I really wanted to like this perfume, but it just turned out to be a minty floral mess on me. Wet: MINT SO MUCH MINT. Dry: Floral mint. On my skin, the mint just comes through, and it stayed on my skin for quite a long time. I will not buy this again.

    Bastet

    Very beautiful sexual musk. Wet: Unnatural warmth of spices that recalls ancient Egypt or temples. Dry: Musky in a wild, but strong way. It has a tendency to be a little medicinal at the VERY first, but it drys down VERY quickly. I's really lovely, but doesn't stay on your skin very long.

    Countess Willie

    It's a little cough syrupy in the bottle. Wet: Super warm and sweet. The chocolate comes out. Dry: It warms down. It's a very mild pretty scent. Not too harsh, and not dark or seductive at all. Sophisticated warmth, with a touch of spice.
