here are some more scents i've tried recently:

empyreal mist
A hazy, soft, veiled scent: mist floating through twilit skies, curling gently towards the heavens.
in the bottle: a pleasant green sort of smell--not at all overpowering
wet--it smells like bamboo!! it's very . . . fresh.
dry--now i can also smell berries!
later--it's very nice but doesn't last that long.

spooky
A maddeningly festive blend of warm, buttery rum, cocoa, coconut, vanilla and a jolt of peppermint. It’s a sweet, decadent, slightly silly scent, reminicent of rum-laced holiday cookies.
in the bottle--it smells like candy canes and rum!
wet--it's very pepperminty with a little vanilla--nice and cool.
dry-now i can also smell coconut--yum!
later--it smells like malibu rum and peppermint--i love malibu rum, so this pleases me. i really hope they bring back this limited edition b/c i want a big bottle!

zephyr
A gentle white scent, breezes laced with the scent of springtime blooms and citrus. Lemon, lemon verbena, neroli, white musk, white florals, white sandalwood, China musk, bergamot and a drop of vanilla.
in the bottle--lemony!
wet--REALLY lemony. and a little bitter.
later--it's all soapy. dang, the description sounded so nice.

hellcat
A soft, sensual, luxuriant blend with a wicked bite: hazelnut, buttercream, honey mead, rum and sweet almond.
in the bottle--it smells really sweet, but i'm not sure which ingredient i'm smelling. buttercream?
wet--same smell, but a little softer. yum.
dry--hey, where'd it go?
later--i can get a hint of a warm, honeyish smell, but i can't distinguish it from my lotion, or something. it just sinks right in! i'll have to try this again b/c it's definitely a nice smell.

jezebel
Biblical witch, priestess of Astarte, and general troublemaker. A true role model for today's upwardly mobile Modern Woman. A gloriously decadent blend of honey, roses, orange blossom and sandalwood.
in bottle--it's definitely floral.
wet--i'm smelling roses and orange blossom, a lot.
dry--roses and orange blossom are getting overwhelmed with powdery stuff.
shortly thereafter--it's all powder.

endymion
Selune, the Moon Goddess, fell in love with a beautiful shepherd named Endymion. She appealed to Zeus, asking him to cast Endymion into everlasting slumber so that she could be with him for all eternity. Her wish was granted, and every night the Goddess visited her love as he slept. A sweet, wistful blend of d'Anjou pear, Lily of the Valley, bois du rose and white musk.
this was the one sarah swapped me!
in the bottle--mmm, PEAR! this reminds me of this pear juice i used to drink all the time in israel. it was called pear nectar and i drank it allll the time.
wet--the florals are a little more apparent now.
dry--i really like this--a hint of pear and musk, and it's a nice light scent.
later--hmm, it didn't last that long. but it was lovely while it was there!
