Moon Rose
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.

Verbena as in lemon verbena. :) That'd be most of the sharp, and rosemary is of course the spice, which you should be able to nick from your spice rack to sniff, or someone else's. ;)

I'm so glad some of these worked for you!
