  1. First Sniff

     

    Melting butter and hazlenuts.

     

    Drydown

     

    More butter and a hint of praline...  A burnt caramel smell and a bitter chocolate

    hit......This one is very very strong and I only applied a little.

     

     

    Final Verdict

     

    Really not me.  At all.  I had to wash it off after half an hour, the sticky caramel/coco smell made me feel terrible...

    I agree. Wanted so much to like it (thanks SO much for the imp EvilKitten!!!) - but I smelled like I was dropped head first into a vat of butter, then rolled into a hazelnut coffee candle and topped with burnt gingerbread. Now don't get me wrong! I LOVE butter, hazelnuts, coffee, toffee, popcorn, and especially caramel and chocolate - but on my skin it was overwhelmingly sweet and cloying.

     

    Sigh. Swaptime with this one!!


  2. Kali - first off - I HAD to get some. I agree with hypotherma that just the name made me scream.. I HAVE to HAVE THIS!

     

    First sniff - oh no... what is that? a sweet alcohol of some kind. Honeywine maybe. I can't wear this! So I let my husband sniff this. His first reaction, "wait, bring it back. hm. honey. and something dark. nice. Put it on." Of course I was going to anyway, but with him saying that I KNEW I'd be putting it on right then.

     

    Wet - the chocolate comes through, with the flowers behind it, like they are in a vase with honeywine instead of water. This really works on my skin (and my husband, unlike O which made both of us sick to our stomachs because it was too sweet on my skin.)

     

    Dry - the tobacco comes through a few minutes later and lends a nice grounding element to all the honey/flowers. All I can say is this really works for me. A full bodied, sexual smell that surrounds me like a beautiful and expensive stole. Not a cloak that covers, but a draping mahogany or burgandy velvet stole for a night at a dark crowded jazz club and naughty sex.

     

    THX Smartybunny!!! Another to add to my "must-have list".


  3. from Randomness entry:

    Extra special enabler thanks to Kimmer :D who sent me....

     

     

    MY VERY FIRST BPAL OIL EVER :D

     

    - which I received today and immediately put on...

     

    Noir.

     

    :D Beth, this is perfection. I'm in severe lust, and will rifle through my closet to find my 30's black/grey pencil skirt, and my fuzzy black sweater... will straighten my hair to Veronica Lake sleek, and will sniff myself all day.

     

    First Sniff: very smoky, maybe the cloves.

     

    Wet: Very light. lilies and cloves together. Not sure I'm going to like this as much as I'd hoped.

     

    Dry: on drydown, Divinity. Dark alleys, Double Indemnity... I feel beautiful, and just a little sinister. I could do something naughty if crossed. The glorious light jasmine/lily smell is around me and only I smell the dark clove/myrrh combination. So I feel alluring but dangerous, like a snapdragon.

     

    Wonderful. And so addictive. I wish there was more... :P


  4. I need a kick-ass, take on the world, energy rush, uplifting, caught up in the workout madness oil to put on rright before I work out so that I can get all caught up in the scent and do my workout mindlessly... (can you tell I need to lose myself in it to make me want to work out?? :P)

     

    Any suggestions?
