In bottle: sharp cologne-ish note which I think might be bergamot, with a sweet creamy undertone. immediately on skin: The sharp masculine tone fades a little and a sweeter scent comes out. The condensed milk stays pretty strong. It’s very pleasant. After a few minutes: I can really pick out the condensed milk note, softened a bit now though as if it’s been stirred into hot tea. There is a slight mildew-y scent, but it’s surprisingly pleasant, like the scent of a basement (I love that smell!). I’m definitely enjoying this blend. Later on: This scent has mellowed quite a bit. It still smells creamy and sweet, but there’s this tangy, light unisex note which I’m pretty sure is the bergamot underneath. It has a slightly damp scent to it which is nice and comforting. I absolutely love it, but I’ll have to retest to see if it’ll be wearable for me.

Straight out of the bottle and wet on my skin, this smelled like fresh green vegetables. It was not specific to any one scent, but it was just fresh and green without being overly green, like bamboo or grass. After about 5 minutes on my skin though, this scent turned to a very powdery, soft floral. I was pretty disappointed it didn't work on me I couldn't smell any of the fresh green scent any more, and I couldn't even pick out the honeysuckle.

In bottle: This smells very herbal and almost minty. immediately on skin: It starts out as a very crisp and strong scent. It is aquatic and almost minty with some herbs and a chilly sweetness. After a few minutes: A strong sweet note comes out now… and a smokiness. It’s a very purplish-blue scent and almost incense-like. The herbs and chill fall away to the background and keep this blend from turning overly sweet. Later on: This blend smells the same as it did after drying, but just lighter now. Unfortunately this scent lasts only 2-3 hours on me before I have to reapply, but I love it so much that I don’t mind. It’s very mysterious and light and absolutely gorgeous! Edited to add later: I've worn this a few times and it's one of my favorites... but I definitely get an apple or cider note out of it! It's not really sour, but it's crisp and apple-like and very pretty.

In bottle: Very herbal and clean. The lily is very strong. immediately on skin: The scent is very green and herbal. The lily or another similar floral adds a clean quality to it. It smells a bit like dryer sheets. After a few minutes: This has turned into a very crisp, clean scent. The only individual note I can pick out is the lily… It’s a bit powdery and strong. Later on: This has faded into a generic lily scent with some light green notes. It’s nice, but unremarkable to my nose unfortunately.

In bottle: Slightly floral and sweet, with a very crisp green scent underneath. It’s a very bright scent. immediately on skin: The sweet florals are still there, along with a hint of frutiness. Underneath it is a very strong, green note… probably the bamboo. After a few minutes: Lilac with a bright fruity note with a sharp tinge of powder underneath. Later on: This has turned into a slightly sweet lilac scent with an extremely light musky undertone. All the other notes seem to have disappeared completely. It’s pretty, but nothing special.

In bottle: The redwood and sandalwood is very strong. The patchouli smells a little “dirty” to me. immediately on skin: It smells pine-y and slightly sweet. The tonka seems to be making the blend a little sweet, but it doesn’t come out that much. After a few minutes: I can smell pine and the lemon peel now. It’s a very unisex to masculine scent. Later on: This lingers on my skin as a soft, sweet piney wood scent. It’s become very light after a couple of hours, so I’m not sure about the staying power. But this scent just isn’t for me even if it did stick around.

In bottle: Cherry Cola. Immediately on skin: VERY unusual. Smells a little like cola, almond, and some very sweet fruit like cherry or plum. I also get a bitter undertone. After a few minutes: plum with a light wine scent and a touch of musk to keep it from being too sweet. Later on: This has turned very sweet on me and I can really only smell the plum now. It’s definitely a bluish purple or indigo sweet scent. There is just a touch of musk, but I can barely detect it. The scent is not very strong, but it is definitely wafting quite a bit. It's very sweet and pleasant on me.

In bottle: Green, grassy, and sharp. Immediately on skin: Very green scent with a light musk undertone. There is a sweet floral tone over the whole scent as well. Very strong and sharp. After a few minutes: the scent turns from green to golden. A sweet scent with a green and almost musky undertone. Almost like honey, sweet grass, and light musk. Tangy and sticky-sweet at the same time. There's a small bit of very sweet floral coming through now as well. Later on: This blend has softened quite a bit now. It’s very fresh, green, and sweet and I think there’s a touch of powder and a tiny bit of florals as well. It’s a very nice bright scent on me.

In the bottle: straight from the bottle (or imp in my case) I get a very salty, crisp scent that's a little like household cleaner. It's very strong and aquatic. Wet on skin: Salty and musky. At first it smells very clean and crisp, but then the dragon's blood grounds it with a bit of earthiness. After drying: A very clean scent, with the dragon’s blood giving a soft musky base. It’s earthy, but still very bright and salty. There's a slight sweet airy quality to it, but not in a floral or fruit way. Overall impression: Very balanced clean scent with a touch of earthiness. It's quite lovely and I would try it again for sure.

Whew, my first review! In the bottle: At first sniff, I get a very bitter and dusty scent... very dry and sharp. I don't sense a touch of sweetness at all. Wet on skin: The scent is very bitter, with very strong wood notes. It smells a bit like cedar, just not as sweet. I think it's the musks slightly sweetening up the wood notes. It's very strong on me, and overpowering. After drying: The wood has softened, but it’s still the strongest note in the blend. The dustiness lends a powdery dry note to it, and the musk softens and sweetens the wood notes just slightly. It's very strong, but has softened and sweetended quite a bit since I first applied it over an hour ago. Overall, I find this to be a very unisex scent leaning towards masculine. Overall impressions: This scent reminds me of wood shavings that you find in pet stores. It's interesting but not something I would wear.

I haven't tried many blends, but I found Silence (in the Salon collection) to be a very nice, light fruity floral scent. It's very crisp and pretty. It's not available as an imp on the site by itself (only in the Salon: exhibit I imp pack) but you might be able to find on on the forum.
