Holy moly. You know the smell of burnt sugar when you are trying to make a creme brulee and you screw it up? This is Kill-Devil. Gets stronger and more acrid as the day goes on. Ew.

Gorgeous; pure chocolate. I like Candy Butcher because of the cream note, but this is great as well. It has a slight plastic note, but it would be divine as a base oil with another BPAL on top.

Where is the cocoa? Where is the fig? As usual, my skin pulled the woods notes; all I smell is dark black fairy woods.

GAG! Red Hotz. Period.

Nice! Reminds me of something from childhood. Not a scent I would normally go for, yet I find myself sniffing my wrist every five minutes. Creamy and warm with a touch of fresh ginger.

Amber hates me, I hate amber...This was frimped, so i gave it a go, but no luck.

I'm a huge fan of Eat Me, and this is phenomenal as well; more golden and buttery than Eat Me, less juicy fruit than Eat Me; think upsidedown pineapple cake.

ADDED Dec. 20:

Of course as a fan of Eat Me, I also love Drink Me; very rich and golden, pineapple butterscotch custard cake dream...

As a foodie, this scent completely works for me; delicious cakes and currants. Buttercream. Yum.

Interesting; mostly sugar with the lightest floral; I don't know what a night flower smells like, but the dark yet subtle floral undernote does evoke some imagary; although I didn't think I'd like this because I detest florals, this is kind of nice...

Sweet goodness; take me to the Midway! The funnel cake and taffy is divine...

ADDED April 17:

Well, I'm confused bc I have two decants from swaps: Midway 07 and Midway 08...?

Ah well, here it goes...

Miday 07: sweet sugar and plastic; no discernable notes

Midway 08: sweet and creamy; kind of like buttercake; but I detect plastic

ADDED 4/14/10:

I am sad to discover that this goes plastic after five years of aging...

Wow; this is incredible; I want to dig a fork in to my arm and stab a piece of fruit flavored flesh...orgasmic!

ADDED July 15:

Orgasmic! Would like more cream/vanilla for a tone down, but the sweet berries are divine...

ADDED April 11:

This decant is totally a keeper; I love it! I think it smells as good as 2005 version; the delicious buttery cakeness is deepened with the strawberries and cherries; cherries normally make me gag but this is divine!

Have I mentioned how lucky I am to have a body that agrees so well with pumpkin? Again, i am loving this scent; all pumpkins smell warm and buttery on me; I wish the notes of the white grape would shine through more, but it's still so wonderful!

I love it, but I don't smell sage or cactus...still smells quite foody and creamy

Gag; very disappointed; my body pulls nothing but the jasmine; I smell like a rotting purple flower.

Second try:

Wet: the backnotes are nice, but I can't really get to them as the jasmine and carnation is quite strong on me...I really want to like this...will wait for the laydown

Final verdict: beautiful honey cream almond base is still covered by the jasmine; floral; sigh...I want to love this but the floral is almost too much...

Wet: whoa; I don't know what to think; it does remind me of a slut, I mean, smut...

Dry: I love how this dried down; it's a skin scent, and for once the musk doesn't smell like power on me...different because I love food scents, but this is really nice...

ADDED April 17:

Wet: incredibly swoon worthy; I normally detest musks, but the sugar and booze is predominant; I want to drink myself and get slutty..er..I mean, smutty!

Wet: fresh pineapple

Dry: still just pineapple; very sugary

Verdict: I want to like it, but it fades to nothing; I'd have to reapply every other hour...

Wet: I love cocoa blends so much; while Bliss was a bit plastic, this is authentic. Spices and darkness...

Verdict: my body takes well to food notes, especially cocoas; thank goodness the frankinscence and sandalwood is toned down, as my body tends to turn to a head shop when those notes are added; I am i love with this scent!

Wet: musky incense

Dry: the incense died away, which tempted me to keep it; warm oriental spices linger. However, musk just goes to powder on me...and I smell like Arabian baby butt.

Verdict: not for me

Wet: Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. Clean, fresh; the green tea and lemon is refreshing.

Verdict: Nice summer scent; not for me.

Bottle: Wow. This is what you should use instead of smelling salts; has a sulphuric note with gunmetal. Acrid. Stings.

Verdict: Must put imp away before it implodes. Ew.

Sniff out of empty bottle: dry floral; kind of powdery

Don't think I like it much, but if I did, it would be for my man, not me.

Wet: all of the above flavors are present; nice blend..

Dry: masculine scent; lots of darkness and spice.

Verdict: great for my man, not for me

Wet: Divine. Sweet, juicy, fruity plums and currants. This is what I want merlot to taste like...

Dry: loving that juicy sweet berry smell; yummy!

Verdict: This one's a keeper; for once, since there are no cherries, I get that beautiful red berry flavor with no medicine aftertaste!

Wet: strong cherries; Nyquil.

Dry: no cherries or medicine or currants or red smells at all; all woods. Vetyver.

Verdict: I'm surprised it turned so woodsey, with no sweetness whatsoever. Not for me.

I smell no cocoa whatsoever; all spice and musk. Incense; not me.
