A crisp, pale, almost translucent rose dusted by moonflower and midnight dew.
In vial: A lighter rose. I worry that this one is also going to go soapy.
Wet: But it doesn't! This is actually a much nicer rose than Reaper. Gentle and not overpowering.
Dry: Still not soapy, but barely-there. That's okay with me; rose can be very overpowering.
Arcana
The essence of magickal enigmas and long-forgotten esoteric mysteries. Frankincense, rosemary, lavender, neroli, and verbena.
Okay, I have BARELY enough to actually test this, but I CAN test it! I don't know what any of those scents smell like on their own except lavender.
Vial: Euuugh. This does not bode well. Very sharp.
Wet: ??! I can't believe this is the same scent. I can actually get some of the lavender out of this, but it's not gross lavender, it's actually quite nice.
Dry: Mmmmmm. VERY nice. I want to get another imp of this to make absolutely sure, but YUM.
So, final tally winners, in order of loving it:
Mme. Moriarty
Hetairae
Arcana
Yggdrasil
Moon Rose
More than half! :D YAY.
