  1. I just received Fenris Wolf in an order from the lab.

     

    In the bottle: Very strong. Not sure how this will work, but it does have musk. Musk on me is of the good.

     

    Wet: Whoa! Wood! Strong, smokey wood.

     

    About 30min-and hour later: The wood smell mellows out and the musk (and possibly amber) come forward. This is lovely. I actually reminds me quite strongly of Hellfire, but not as smokey.

     

    Hours later: All musk. The lab's musk is very nice on me, but the woodsy scent that made it unique is completely gone. I already have a bottle that is musk based. I may give it another try, but it will probably go to the swap pile.

     

    Verdict: This is a very pretty scent, but you better love musk. If you already have a musk scent and don't need another, you can give this guy a pass. If you don't alreay have one, then give the Wolf a try.


  2. I was wondering about Eat Me and Bloody Mary or Beaver Moon and wondered if a drop of Mad Sweeney could be the slight boozy note.

     

     

    If I were to get these and blend them, what proportions would you use? Equal parts? Heavier on one of them?

    *runs off to play mad scientist and compare against Fruitcake* Bear in mind that I have Mad Sweeney instead of Spiked Punch, so it'll be more whisky than brandy. *scratches head and thinks about Forbidding Foyer with the cognac note*

     

     

    OOOH! If you figure it out let me know!


  3. The lovely ivyandpeony suggested I go ahead and post this as a new topic since Fruitcake is neither a GC or an LE. I am sure there are others out there who are wondering thie same thing.

     

    I am not sure whether to bless or curse Beth for creating Fruitcake. I love it!!! It would be my signature, perfect scent if it were offered in bottles. My heart is absolutely breaking that my wee little imp is all I have to savor. This is where I need your help: what GC or available LE scents would you recommend as being the most similar to Fruitcake? If not just one scent, what would you layer to acheive a similar outcome? I have a bottle of Dana O'Shee and find there are a few similarities, but Dana lacks the boozy and spicy qualities of Fruitcake. How can I smell like Fruitcake, even if I cannot buy it?

     

    What would you recommend?


  4. I received a frimp of Fruitcake in my recent order (my first order in well over a year.) I had heard much about this mysterious little gift Beth was sending out. I have to admit to not being much of a fan of real fruitcake. But this little imp....

     

    BEST BPAL TO EVER TOUCH MY SKIN!!!

     

    I don't think the lab could create a more perfect blend for me. Warm, rich, sweet. On my skin I get the fruits only as a subtle background scent. The top notes are buttery and spicey. A cakey smell. Sadly, this one requires major slathering for me. That poor little imp is going to be gone fast. If the lab decided to release this one I would definitely be stocking up. I can't say enough how much I love it. Seriously, I need to horde this one. Now I just need to track down some unwanted imps...
