Night-gaunt - No one ever found what the night-gaunts took, though those beasts themselves were so uncertain as to be almost fabulous. Carter asked them if night-gaunts sucked blood and liked shiny things and left webbed footprints, but they all shook their heads negatively and seemed frightened at his making such an inquiry. When he saw how taciturn they had become he asked them no more, but went to sleep in his blanket.
Their scent of their slick, rubbery hides is bittersweet, ticklish, and skin-creeping: something akin to yuzu, white grapefruit, and kumquat mixed with the snow-dusted flowers of Mount Ngranek.
In the vial, it's a very light citrus. Colorwise, I get a very light yellow.
Wet on my skin, it's citrus and something kinda powdery. Not baby powder, but powdery floral. I'm liking this.
10-15 minute drydown - Hmmm... 'Flowers' seems to be a note I amp. The citrus notes are nice, though. We'll have to see if this calms down any before I decide if I want to keep it or not.
1 hour drydown - Erk. Smells like soap. Expensive floral soap, but soap nonetheless. No, thank you.

Marquise du Merteuil - Stately, bold, aristocratic and cruel. Opulent galbanum and amber, glistening peach, and a bouquet of French florals, with a merciless undertone of jonquil and heartless vetiver.
In the vial, it's acrid... almost bitter. I'm guessing that's the vetiver and galbanum. Colorwise, I'm getting moss green.
Wet on my skin, there's an odd sweetness. Possibly the amber. Hopefully, the floral note doesn't overpower.
10-15 minute drydown - Gah! I'll give it a bit to see if it calms down, but right now, I'm getting nothing but paint thinner. A co-worker said it smelled like an air freshener insert, but I'm getting straight mineral oil paint thinner.
1 hour drydown - Just smells like ordinary, everyday department store perfume counter 'perfume'. Nothing special.
