  1. The lovely Amethyst from the Lush Forum sent me and imp of this wonderful perfume, and now I can blame her for the strong "I-need-a-big-bottle" feeling that I've got.

     

    Wet I can get cocoa and rum over a spicy bottom line with a bit of clove on it.

    It's a sweet and obscure chocolate, not as inocent as chocolate can be in Bliss, this is very different! It has a smoky undertone that gives it a lovely edge.

     

    This is a great gourmand perfume. If you are looking for chocolate and you find Bliss a bit "light" for you, just go for this one.

     

    I LOVE IT! :P


  2. I got an imp of this oil from the lovely Amethyst, from the Lush UK forum. :D

     

    Wet I get bitter almonds, a lot of them! It has the metallic touch you get when you smell cyanide. :P

    But this almond note doesn't fade away quickly as the others do in my skin, and I really dislike almonds in a perfume. :D

    As it dries down I get a bit of cinnamon too, but this scent is strong and bitter almond all the way.


  3. Wet on my sking I get a creamy start over a soft spicy bottom made of something between burnt sugar, vanilla, cinnamon or clove.

     

    I get the Werther's candy feeling too, but as it dries down it goes a bit floral, maybe due to the lunar oils.

     

    A very original gourmand, soft and sweet.


  4. Wet I get lavender, lemon and honeysuckle. The moon flower and the green notes (sage, salvia, thime) are softly laying in the bottom.

     

    It's a very different perfume, not something you can find in a shop.

    An exotic floral scent, with a nocturne and wild.


  5. Wet on my skin I get a very soft floral perfume over a white musk bottom.

     

    This one is very sexy and a bit masculine. Elengant and with a good lasting power. I've found the perfect scent for my beau! :P


  6. This one is a bit odd when wet: I get a strong orange Haribo bear note followed by a metallic scent.

    After the first snif I get some pine and green notes, like the ones you can smell walking through a forest.

     

    It's a bit like Storm Moon without the lunar oils and the smoky feeling.

     

    A fresh aquatic perfume with a strong throw. Unisex.


  7. Wet on my skin I get rosemary and citric notes: bergamot, vervein, lemon rind...

    with a soft bottom line made of cardamon, amber and the sweet resiny touch of the benzoin. I can pick a touch of camomile too.

     

    As it dries down I get more amber, iris and more floral notes.

    It goes deep and bold.

     

    Very fresh and unisex, but not a light scent.

    Really elengant. :P


  8. This is a quiet and soft perfume, serene is a good word to describe it when it first touches my skin.

     

    I get a smoky touch over a green bottom line, not herbal nor floral but something between.

     

    As it dries down I get an acid edge, astringent, sad but with rage.

    I get a very sad feeling from this one. :P


  9. It has a very strong and sweet starting (I get a lot of phlox in the first snif) of phlox and daffodil.

     

    Dry the daisies and the tulips come out, along with the white and dry touch of the iris.

     

    This is an intense floral but it has a fresh touch too that makes it not cloying at all. Lovely. :P


  10. Wet on my skin I smell cream and honey, like the hot milk with a spoon of honey that I used to have before I went to sleep when I was a little girl.

    I get a peppermit touch too, more or less strong depending on the day.

     

    Soft and sweet, smooth... I could bath on this one!

     

    I like to use it before I go to sleep, and I don't know why but it's perfect as a boobage perfume! :P :D :D


  11. Wet I can smell moss, patchouli, vetiver and incense; all the green and brown notes with a touch of smoke.

    I get a touch of carnation and jasmine too.

     

    It's a strong and smoky perfume, deep and hypnotic.

    If I close my eyes I see a clear picture of the caterpillar from the Disney's movie! :P


  12. Wet I can smell lilies with honey (very true to the lab's description), smooth, feminine but still pretty intense.

     

    Dry it's just the same on my skin, a sweet floral blend with a conforting feeling.

    I can see why a lot of people thinks this is a precious floral perfume!

     

    It has a very good lasting power indeed. :P


  13. Wet it starts with a green note over all the fresh cut roses.

     

    This is not the scent you get from a ripe blood-red rose, it's the scent of a garden full of rosebushes.

     

    Very fresh, goes a bit deep as it dries down.

     

    A fresh floral perfume, perfect if you like rose blends but you find them a bit strong to wear in the hot weather. :P


  14. Wet it's all almonds on me!

    I don't like almonds at all, but in some blends, like Salome, they fade away in a couple of minutes and I can forget about them. But this is not the case.

    After some time, the almods let the clove and the sassafras come out a bit. :P


  15. This is a very smooth and sexy perfume.

    I can smell spices, carnation and musk when wet.

    I has a light masculine touch on my skin, maybe because of the red sandalwood.

    I like it very much, but I wish it to stay longer...

    Maybe I could fix it buying 10ml! :P


  16. This is a very dense and dark perfume.

    The spices and the incense are very well blended, just like a zoco or a temple.

    Very misterious, it has something that smells like an ancient place.

    It has quite a good throw and lasts for ages on my skin.

    I really love it! :P


  17. This one is a winter scent.

    I get mulled wine, trees and dragon's blood when it's wet.

    It's warm and spicy, a comforting perfume.

    It's a bit like a Christmas candle, and dry it goes a bit lighter.

    A really lovely scent that makes me think about knights and a place where everything is possible. :P
