The essence of the most debauched hunger encapsulated into a perfume. Desire beyond love, anguish beyond sanity. Nutmeg, sassafras, black poppy and myrrh.

This was a frimp from the lab.

In bottle: Sassafras! I love sassafras so I eagerly slopped some on.

Wet on skin: Sassafras and slightly medicinal.

Dry on skin: Hmmm...something has happened. Something nefarious. It now smells very medicinal, like a dentists office. And clove cigarette. Like someone is smoking a clove in the dentists office. It's made me feel tense and anxious (the smell of a dentists office always makes me feel like that.) At the same time, I feel slightly woozy and high. Ugh. This is just not working for me.

Verdict: Not for me so it's off to swaps.

Does anyone remember coal tar soap? That's all I could smell on the first try. Second time I get a slight whiff of sarsparilla, but it's quickly back to coal tar soap again.

There's a note in this that I also smell in Love Me. I don't really like it in either scent.

Someone said this smells like coal tar soap. Yes, that's it! Coal tar soap with a touch of sickly sweetness and a layer of medicinal bitterness. It's mostly bitter and medicinal on my skin. I don't think so. 2 stars out of 5, feeling generous. Not the bottom of the barrel, but far from the best. Might work well on a Gothic junkie?
