wow lemongrass!!!!! ok, I like lemongrass, but this is a LOT....makes me wonder if the mosquitoes will stay away it drowns out all other notes...I must amp it b/c I just put a little on with a toothpick and wham. lemongrass party
-
very pale and faint....and what I do get is biting, acrid, and yellow if I sniff really hard (as it fades a lot on my skin), it reminds me my grandparents house - a mix of cigarette smoke (on the house, not the smoke itself) and, old potpourri or soap a few minutes later and it's mostly gone from my skin, leaving yellow soapiness
-
coffee and vanilla, rich, foodie with the spices, a bit too coffee/brown to me, but if you like coffee or foodie scents it's a nice one
-
very sickly-sweet, emphasis on the sickly. I think it's the leather and tonka that smell almost mildewed...after reading the Poison Queen's I agree with a bit of cucumber, though it's still a little more mildew than cucumber on my skin and faint inky blackness permeates, but no specific note jumps out
-
very sweet sugary warm gingerbready caramel (Tablet) in bottle. Fades fast on skin. But still sweet. Hints of musty paper, no leather turns slightly more dry-papery after a bit with maaaaybe small hint of leather, the sweetness is warm and comforting, and the whole scent is very soft
-
wet: very much like cologne of amber and florals as it dries: some sweet gum-like peach comes out. dry: Fresh and clean, peach takes over quickly without being overpowering. still hint of florals. it's a lovely blend that works well, just not my kind of scent
-
I put it on and instantly get a scent that's very sweet, white, and juicy. It turns quickly to lemon cake, wafting back and forth between something more sandalwood and something more lemon-cleaner, but usually staying sweet enough to conjure cake
-
heavy on the grass and herbs, I can smell the leather beneath it if I try, but too green for me and almost headache-inducing turns acrid as it dries down and the leather comes out, but it's a hard, dry leather have to wash it off
-
very light maybe a bit of woods and citrus - like if you cleaned a wooden piece of furniture with a slightly citrus cleaner and a soft (skin?) musk comes off as fresh and clean....a little too clean (and the citrusy starts to come out more.) *edit - turns kind of fresh green
-
Hopefully this is in the right place... It's so soft in the bottle I can hardly smell it. Initially on my skin it's still very soft and pleasant with an almost herby/earthy/woodsy/insence quality that's nice but I can't put my finger on it. After an hour or so the scent turns very "brown", not exactly earthy but has that quality to it. It's not a strong scent. *edit - later in the day it's a tad more incense, but still "brown" and it's really, really faint (nose to wrist)
-
a musky cedar cologne, VERY masculine, very strong. And a hint of something minty that comes out much more after a few minutes, creating a weird mix. A heady scent
-
heavy spices, warm, clove, some sarsaparilla that's a little sour and a little sweet
-
I love this blend. Nice spices without being too incensy, and also has a sweet-sharpness however it disappears completely from my skin within 30 minutes
-
LOVE IT sweet, almost incense and a bit leathery
-
I seriously AMP this! I smell candy! cinnamon like red hots, some cherry and licorice. it's just too strong for me
-
spice! yellow and resin-y
-
cherry cough syrup and sawdust
-
heady and heavy like a hunting lodge, musky and old smoke and brandy too closed in a butch for me
-
oh dear god. i've tied BPAL that I haven't liked before, but words cannot describe how awful this is. I really tried to describe it when I put it on my skin, but I was almost gagging brown, decayed, mildew,... ug
-
ew. I get pinesol with cocoa and rum. not a good mix
-
wow - that's some strong cinnamon. reminds me Uranus. there something black in there, and (now that I saw someone else mention it) Coke. but mainly cinnamon I do think I'm getting little hints of the incense notes, but if I didn't know to "look" for them I might not be... it's not totally overpowering, but too strong of a candy-cinnamon for me *edit it fades down a lot after about 30 minutes. I can tell there are other notes besides cinnamon now, but I can't pick them out individually; the cinnamon is a bit sweeter/lighter but now the whol thing is very close to teh skin
-
I get lots of white sandalwood, keep sniffing, and there's vetiver and a bit of clove it's really nice and smooth; one of the smoothest, softest vetiver scents I've tried I can't pick out the other notes separately, except maybe some beeswax off and on (the clove has disappeared into thebackground), but it's a gorgeous mix that's not too overwhelming it's both light and dark
-
the DB is very nice. The rest of the florals turn a bit salty. Not quite like Dragon's Tears though - not that salty. more of a sharpness. not overpowering, but I prefer my DB tempered with something like musk or leather or sandalwood.
-
first let me say that I bought three (3) bottles of this and they are all the same I get absolutely NO leather in the bottle or on my skin, and the dreaded ROSE has taken over I'm leaving it on for now (bracing myself for the Rose-headache) just in case it changes....but I'm not hopeful. Rose wins 99.9% of the time it goes a pit Pinesol for about 5-10 minutes, then soapy for 5-10 minutes - then back to Rose with a hint of incense ** and it fades down a LOT in 2 hrs...just rose on my skin and maybe a hint of incense...and almost disappears an hour or two after that (just a hint of rose on my skin) NO LEATHER
-
I wish I got all that in mine in the bottle - opium, resins, and slightly cologne-y on my skin - very faint and a bit more biting/sharp....then it turns to a sweet floral that's very clean....and underneath bit of vetiver *sigh* not what I was wanting
