Dracul
Named in honor of Vlad III, Tepes, of the Order of the Dragon. Black musk, tobacco, fir, balsam of peru, cumin, bitter clove, crushed mint, and orange blossom.
On her
In Bottle: sharp green, lots of cedar
Wet: pungent, but pleasantly so, very woodsy
Initial Drydown (first 20 minutes): fresh, piney, masculine, hint of sweet
Lingering Drydown (after 2 hours): mostly gone after two hours :p, mellows nicely though, I think the tobacco is left
Overall Impression: very nice, reminds me of walking through a forest with mixed tree types, but mostly cedar and pine, masculine
Rating: 4
On him
In Bottle: Cedar swamp in the spring. Mint?
Wet: spicy, sage, herby, sweet like lilacs
Initial Drydown (first 20 minutes): manly, pine boughs and fresh earthy ferns in a cedar forest. Jasmine green tea
Lingering Drydown (after 2 hours): Very dry cedar, like warm shingles in summer. Dries up quickly.
Overall Impression: This makes me think Druid more than Dracula. If I were a Druid I would smell like this.

Lingering Drydown (after 2 hours): very faint, sweet is all gone, very green
Overall Impression: the initial smell is amazing, but my skin does weird things to so many fragrances :p, nice on dh

The scent of sexual obsession, slavery to sensual pleasure, and the undercurrent of innocence defiled utterly. Amber and honey with a touch of vanilla.
On her
In Bottle: Slightly fruity baby powder
Wet: baby powder
Initial Dry (first 20 minutes): Sweet baby powder, dh says plastic diaper or scented baby wipes
Lingering Drydown (after 2 hours): Still baby powder, reminds me of Secret (as in the deodorant) Vanilla body spray
Overall Impression: disappointing, dh doesn't like AT ALL, reminds him of box of body powder sitting on grandma's toilet, no morph
