It started out odd and chalky/dusty, and then it turned into a dry coconut scent. (Coconut often smells like Fruit Loops on me, so whenever I smell that Fruit Loops scent I think there must be coconut in it.) But still dusty. It smells like what I imagine Coconut Pez would smell like, if they made such a thing. When it's drying it loses the dustiness but gets sweeter for a little while, and it ends up rather musky. When it's dry it's much smoother than I thought it would be. I think there might be a teeny bit of patchouli in this too.

 

It kind of reminds me of Eden a bit.

in the bottle: smells like orange or lemon oil, sweet not tart. there's some yummy spiciness to it, too.

 

wet on skin: the same orange/lemony sweetness and spices.

 

dries down to a sweet, musky, spicey, fruity luciousness.

yumm.

wasn't sure i'd like this at first 'cause i thought it might end up smelling like lemon furniture polish, but once it dries that sharp lemon/orange note fades and warm muskiness comes out.

 

over all a nice, warm yet uplifting scent.

I had picked up a bottle of this at the DD Cobwebs event.

 

Once applied... sweet dark resins warm my skin. Underneath the resins, there's a trace of coconut. It's not a juicy coconut. It doesn't make it fruity at all either. It makes me feel like it's just coconut milk making it smooth and sweet. I'm also picking up on a bit of pine. It's a dark pine note... just adding a bit of flair to the already sweet resinous blend.

 

The whole thing is a touch on the dark side, but it isn't anything like Goblin (Or should I say that Goblin isn't anything like Gamaliel? ). The coconut is way different! I'm loving this one a lot.

Thank YOU to a very generous forumite, who sent me a tester of the original Sephiroth blend.

 

Oh Gamaliel, you are an odd one. On wet. you smell like heavily spiced apple cider.

 

It dries to a dry coconut, spice and sandalwood scent. And my guess is red mysore sandalwood, as this is the kind of sandalwood I enjoy the most.

Gamaliel starts out smelling a bit like Skytyping with Chemtrails. Like fresh but sweet lemongrass. When it dries there's a darker note coming through which might be tobacco or clove. This is a difficult blend to pinpoint, it's warm and dusty but also tart and at the same time, creamy.
