  1. Fresh out of the mailbox-SPICY pumpkin with vanilla in the background. Eventually the vanilla moved up a bit and the spices toned down. Smelled a lot like pumpkin latte w/out the coffee note at that point

     

    Next day- the spices calmed down and mixed nicely in with the pumpkin, and the vanilla was much more evident (made it a creamy pumpkin with spiced smell). Decent throw, I applied to my neck and wrists and my mother detected pumpkin from about 2.5 feet away. That's better then most perfumes on me


  2. When the Ecstacy of St. Theresa's frankinsense calms down, it'll be a lot more lovely. There's a 10 min. period where that note just shouts instead of joining in the chorus of beautiful scent ;)

     

    Schlafende Baigneuse- pretty, but I don't know if it's causing me to sneeze or if it's the weather. Going to wait til I know I'm not sickly and then try it again. I liked the scent that I could smell for a few minutes!


  3. I tried a decant of the ecstacy of St. Theresa due to the name and liked it. Soft and pretty. a bit floral and a nice frankinsense scent to it tro add a bit of bite/spice. I'm contemplating a bottle of it. I also got frimped the arrival at the sabbath and homage to the devil and was surprised at how much I *didn't* hate it. Caramel usually is horrible on me, sandalwood can be too dry, patchouli is hit or miss, and my nose doesn't really pick up bourbon vanilla. I was expecting to hate it, but it wasn't bad on me at all!


  4. This starts out like a fantastic creamsicle that's not quite orange, but, very citrus-y. The cream starts to come out more, but there's a slightly soap-y scent mixing with it for about 45 min. then it goes back to cream with a slight citrus tang to it. I don't mind the soap, but I hope it ages out as the wet and last drydown are so amazing!


  5. Using this as a moisturizer,it started off strong on the patchouli, with the red musk a close second then following up with the orange. I didn't get much nutmeg or vanilla at first, but then dried down to the dry down of madame moriarty, which is heaven on earth and a mix of red musk, fruit and vanilla.


  6. There was an announcement made by wickedgoddess. There was a component issue, and they should be starting to ship soonish (think it said end of Feb. but I could be wrong).

    The only scent that has black vanilla listed as a note is Antikythera Mechanism (Teakwood, oak, black vanilla, and tobacco)and it's currently on back order and not available for purchase.

     

    I thought about that one too. It sounds nice. I was able to add it to my shopping cart, but didn't buy it. Where did you see that it was discontinued?


  7. Smut 2012- It's amaretto smut! The inital blast is the dr. pepper scent I get from amaretto. It's distinctly different opening then 2010 and 2011. I dig it. It dries down to the smut I love and adore.


  8. Snow-dusted cherry blossom, passion flower, peach musk, and tuberose.

    wet and in bottle- fir/evergreenish scent with some vague florals waaaay in the background.
    drydown- tree and florals start to mix. Can pick out softness I get from cherry blossoms, but the others mix together with the musk.

    It's a bit tree-y for my liking, although the drydown wasn't bad. I'll let it age and see how it goes!
