Halloweenies (2008): Wiley's Swamp
Water-logged and rotting wood, fallen chestnuts, oak leaf, bog laurel, and Virginia creeper.
In imp: ugh, rotting wood indeed. My stomach is complaining here. It's kind of powdery-spicy to my nose, and there's a slight sweetness. I want to skip testing, but I'll give it a try.
Wet on skin: mostly the same, but...it's turning cleaner and brighter, when I can get past the initial "ugh, rotting wood" notes. The longer it stays on my skin, the cleaner it does get...until it's morphed into freshly washed sheets. O_O
Dry: yep, linens and soap. I'm impressed! All traces of the swampy, rotting wood are gone, and it's just a clean, nice, freshly-washed scent, faintly herbal.
Verdict: The drydown is definitely nice, but even if I was able to get past the rotten wood notes at the start, I'm not sure I like it as a perfume.
