Dana O'Shee:
In the bottle: Woah! That almond is strong!
Wet: Er.. on my fingertips there's that strong almond smell, but on my arm, it's as if I'd put water on it!
Drydown: It's come out a little on my arm, but once again it smells like the play-dough we give the kids at church. I think someone scents it with almond oil, because that's the only hint of smell I get from this patch. And I really wanted to like this one, too! Ah, well. You win some, you lose some...
Conclusion: Either sell, or use in the oil burner.
Nuit:
In the bottle: Very light, like honeysuckle
Wet: At first touch, the honeysuckle came out, but now it's receding, and nothing seems to be taking its place...
Drydown: Ooh, NOW I smell roses! Hm. I'm not sure if I want to keep this one or not.. I'm not typically a flower-type girl, but this is nice... at least it doesn't disagree with me!
Update: I've got it on my neck (where I like to wear perfume) and WHOO! The flowers are STRONG! While I don't think I'll be washing this off, I don't think I'll be keeping this imp.
Conclusion: Sell.
(Old) Amsterdam:
In the bottle: I smell the peony and the grass... but it's VERY light.
Wet: Wow! I smell that grass!
Drydown: Hm. I can now actually smell all of the notes listed (tulips, peony, water, green grass), but I don't think this is something I'd wear. It's just too light and airy and white-flower-y
Conclusion: Sell
Queen Mab:
In the bottle: Ooh, this smells nice! Sweet flowers! Like sugar-sweet, not the vanilla-sweet of Zephyr.
Wet: Hm.. this smells almost like those choklit-covered cherries, but no choklit and some floweryness over it...
Drydown: The cherry disappeared, and now what's left is a warm rose, that's reminiscent (again) of RenFaire. I like this one.
Conclusion: Keep. Test more to see if 5ml is needed.
