BitObsessive

I got an imp of this as an extra in a swap, and it hadn't make my wishlist yet.

In the vial, this is very fruity and sweet, and it stays that way on my skin for about half an hour, then the anise and musk come out to temper it and make it spicy. On me, this is a sexy, full-bodied kind of scent, the sort of thing I'd hoped Bordello would be, and it lasts all day, though after the first hour it doesn't have much throw. I've got a 5 ml on its way to me now.

In the bottle: kind of medicinal.

On me: immediately, still a bit medicinal.

After awhile: Wow! I love this. This is what I want my whole house to smell like. It's green, fresh, herbal, minty, fabulous. I think I'll have to use some of this in a burner in my bathroom for a real spa-feel. But I think a bottle of this will have to be my summer scent, because it's light and cooling and refreshing. I can't stop smelling my wrist. Not overshelmingly girly. A guy could get away with wearing this.

On me this is very strong, and almost all incense and sandalwood. The florals receded almost immediately and the green note pushed right into the background. This one is a bit too strong on me, still just as strong as when applied two hours ago.

In the vial: bright and berry-bubbly

On me: tones down almost immediately to a sweet, smooth tone. After an hour or so I can just catch a hint of the amaretto.

First sniff: almondy, sweet, spicy

On me: I've only worn it briefly, but the sandalwood and spices come out more on me than anything else. It's very sexy and subtle. I kept sniffing my wrist to smell it again. Just the right thing to dab on in spots where you want to be kissed.

In the bottle: sweet and citrussy.

On: Tart and clean.

Later: mellows down to the more floral, musky scent. I like it, but I'm not sure it will win out against others. On me it mellows very quickly, within an hour of applying.

Dana O'Shee smells of Snowcake to me too. Honey with a touch of spice and green. Love it.

Oh, thank you so much! My sister's gift might still make it to her on time now.

Plus, I'm having a wicked bad day. Hubby is sick, waiting to hear about an offer on a house, and I got my whole office sick with food poisoning from leftovers from my niece's birthday party.
