Parthenope - Honeysuckle, orris, moss, musk, benzoin, oakmoss, and star jasmine.
In the imp, it's very sharp, almost bitter. Not at all what I was expecting. Must be the benzoin and oakmoss. Color, green-brown.
Wet on my skin, there's the honeysuckle and a bit of the jasmine. Hopefully, the orris doesn't turn this into soap on me.
10-15 minute drydown - Ugh. This is Worm Moon, without all of the good parts.
30 minute drydown - Hi, Old Lady Powder/Perfume/Soap. On me, this smells almost dead on like Evening in Paris - you know, the one in the big blue glass bottle that sat on grandma's dresser.
*****
Dragon's Tears - Bittersweet yet powerful: salty aquatic notes and bursting with dragon's blood.
In the vial, it smells like dragon's blood and sea spray. Not a bad combo. Color, that muddy green you see when there's blood in sea water.
Wet on my skin, this reminds me somewhat of Calico Jack with dragon's blood added, I think. Not sure how this will react to my body chemistry, but it could be promising. Very tangy, though.
10-15 minute drydown - Weird. This smells almost like burnt hair.
20 minute drydown - Ok, no more burnt hair smell. Thank god. LOL. Now it's slightly salty dragon's blood, like good skin musk. Nice.
1 hour drydown - This almost smells like there's myrrh in it, but I don't see where there would be any by the notes. I'm not complaining, though. It's very nice.
