Posts I've Made

  1. In Topic: Tezcatlipoca

    08 November 2005 - 03:51 AM

    Tezcatlipoca is definitely a *power* scent. It's like Centzon Totochtin without the wine/foodiness, or Greed without the sweetness. It has an exquisite resinous drydown.

  2. In Topic: Marquise de Merteuil

    08 November 2005 - 03:48 AM

    For me this starts out as overpoweringly sweet -- the syrup from a can of peaches or pears. There's a bitter undertone -- the vetiver? -- that comes out on the skin, and tempers the sweetness. It adds a complexity but doesn't work well on me.

  3. In Topic: Inferno

    08 November 2005 - 03:42 AM

    Inferno smells of maraschino cherries and meerschaum smoke. Gorgeous, though not something I'd wear as a personal scent.

  4. In Topic: Manila

    27 October 2005 - 03:48 AM

    Manila smells like candy! Pineapple and banana candy. Yum.

    In the drydown, a scent like tobacco emerges -- is this the banana leaf? -- and complexifies the fruity aroma, but doesn't quash its sweetness.

    I'm not a foody-scent person but I really love Manila and I think I'll try it in an oil burner. What I really wish is that I could get this scent in a soap or shower gel. Maybe it's time to experiment with BPAL and unscented stuff...

  5. In Topic: Uranus

    30 September 2005 - 10:58 PM

    The closest scent to which I can liken the Uranus blend is that of the powdery residue that Dentyne cinnamon-flavored gum leaves on its wrapper.
