This scent is just *uunnnghhhh!!!*

Like really. If you got along well with Peach I, then this will be your new bff. Its Peach I minus peach, add that great sweet wine note from Horror Sympathique and a bit more sex. This is my hoarding scent of the 2016 lupers.

This smells like a headshop with vaporizers and incense. Overall, mischievous and relaxing.

Patchouli hasn't been my best friend in the past 2 years but if it still loves you, have fun with this one!

ETA: LOL! I posted this without even seeing Leopard403 said the same thing about smelling headshopy!

This. This is an amazing opus of a jasmine scent. Like the sexiest smoky dark jasmine I've ever smelled. Think Tunisian Jasmine with less synthetic musk.

Wow, this has aged wonderfully. Smooth as silk, musky, magnolia with overtones of limb-loosening champaca. Lovely. Absolutely lovely.

Wet, I said aloud "I smell like an old lady...but a nice old lady" That passed quickly into warm wet lovely flowers. This is a perfect light pink/pastel purple scent.

Haute Macabre and Sympathetic/Helpful Crone both have oak leaf in them. I can definitely smell it!

I'm so confused.. this is the only scent I've not been able to detect patchouli quickly. I mean its a front-runner note, right?

Overall Heroine is lovely. Wet: Fruity amber with a prominent rhubarb note, anchored by vanillic dark musk. Drydown: less fruit/rhubarb and the amber blooms WONDERFULLY. Now its warm, glowy, musky goodness. Kinda like La Lugubre Gondola.

Wet, this is kinda frightening because the combo of oudh and grey benzoin blasts into space.. Its super dry with an embalming fluid feel (like real embalming fluid, not the bpal perfume) and a wet dirt note.

Dry: a true morpher. Like the biggest morpher I've ever experienced! Much more musky, bourbon vanilla, and tobacco happening now and pretty pleasant. Beth could sell this as a magic trick, along with Encroaching Madness (remember the pee to beautiful flowers thing of EM anyone?).

Gun Moll all the way.

Honorable Mention: Variety of Pleasing Amusements. I actually once punched a ceiling in excitement, after applying this. I'm a tomboy. Gimme a break.

This just goes awesome on me. The White Tea is strong but smooth during the wet phase. Smells very oriental during this phase. Drydown is sweeter, smoother and more citrusy..still oriental. Overall wonderful.

Whoa horsey! Yum. I'm in floral vanilla honey heaven. This chocolate note, whatever it is, is a perfect backdrop for this skin parfait.

No honey goes powdery, no vanilla or sugar goes cloying. Its a perfect man-trap gourmand. Seeking a bottle. This is the best 13 I've tested yet.

A Drunk Uncle it is! He's a bit savvier about cocktails, less trashy. Funny and a bit frightening.... but hey, the holidays wouldn't be the same without this poor scapegoat.

Its a mix of strong, tricky, sneak-up-on-ya, manly cocktails involving bourbon rum and a dash of gin or vodka, a bit of holiday cheer (buttery sweet foods) and maybbbbeeee a drop of bay rum cologne. Its really not as bad as I feared, reading past reviews.It goes pretty sweet buttery and boozy on me.

If labelled as a sexy, prohibition era holiday party back-dropped by an art deco bedecked room with a relic of an opium den in a hidden corner of the mansion, I think it would sell hand over fist. Let's imagine and snatch up the bottles while we can!

This is a lovely purple, low-throw perfume. The resins are present as well as the plum on drydown. Violets pouf when wet hence what I understand as the hairspray/white rain thing...it passes. I little like Morgause, but even quieter and a bit sweeter. Not bad!

Whoa WHAT am I amping in this that makes it so awesome?! This scent is The Shit for gourmand citrus and apricot lovers. I would dare say fans of the extinguished March Hare should test this.

Yup. I smelled baked bread. Yes, butter too. I wanna stay home and eat buttered toast with apricot jam allll dayyyy... No welding. Just eating, thanks.

Its the same bread/butter notes from Bread and Butterfly but with better company. Its warm and glowy (thanks mandarin amber) and tasty.

Yea, so.. I needed to know what a sweaty pear was and that drove me to a decant.

Basically, this is fruity coconut suntan lotion on me. The leather, beaver sacs (castoreum), and tonka are suppressed by my skin's ability to amp that tropical bastard enough you'd swear I was holding a neon "COCONUT!" sign. Jealousy will drive me to watch further reviews.

Wondering why there aren't more reviews for this one?

Its basically Perversion minus the grape note and a bit drier due to the frankincense. Its got that same sexy tobacco note as French Tobacco SN. Pretttttty awesommmmme, if you ask me. Wonderful combination of rum, leather, tobacco and sandalwood.

On the drydown, the tobacco cures itself a bit. The woodiness comes out in modest amount. Not enough to kill the sexy notes. I can't imagine a single leather, tobacco, or rum fan being disappointed with this.

Its balanced enough to keep your id in check (psychologically speaking).... just reminds yourself and smellers that you have extreme potential for naughtiness.

For overall atmosphere and similar sex appeal, yes, Snake Oil.

Also try:

Oooh! Sexy oriental snow! Thanks, Beth!

Pretty accurate. The ozone-y snow creates physical and psychic space from the basal, earthy notes. This is swirling purple however it doesn't quite capture the ultraviolet blue note I associate with dusk... more of a earthy brown-tinged plum purple. Lovely in its own right, however.

Wow.

Having experienced blizzards living alone in a rural cottage in Maine, I can clearly attest The Snow at Midnight is an accurate impression. The eerie feeling of an absolutely violent amount of snow falling, yet complete silence inside.... You have your very loud emotions surrounding the real life-threatening environmental occurrence yet nature isn't matching up.

This is a crisp,hushed, vaporous scent that smells like a tinge of fear in snowy silent darkness.

Excellent job, Beth.

Lets call this "french countryside snow". Its pretty, perfumed, fancy, gracefully moving snow. If you look closely at the fallen snowflakes there's an impression of a Dior Haute Couture original on each.

Wet, I got a stronger snow note and the citruses really did capture the feeling of bolting out of bed to a blazing snowstorm (Great job, Beth. - from a crusty New Englander).

Drydown, the citrusies and rose gardenia take over. Hence the fancy french feeling. I really do love this scent and may seek a bottle. Will be a unique addition to my bottleclan!

Oh boy oh boy.. this is a gold mine of a scent on me. The marshmallow turns a little floral and the sugar is soft white/pink. Think its the wooly note making this go so awesome on me. Must be a white floral or something? This is my holy grail light/everythingsgonnabeok perfume to replace LUSH's Twilight. Similar to Boo but no heavy cream or butter notes. That's true.

Love it.

You know, I got a bottle of this a while ago and neglected to review it? A shame! A travesty! Anyways..

Does anyone remember Lush's Skinny Dip? Yup, this smells similar on me. Vetivert is kinda strong when wet, less apparent in the summertime. Carnation and lavender are an even 2nd. Tobacco and smoky vanilla combine on the drydown, warming it and providing a more appealing, less pungent base. Its goooooooddddd. Sexy without being trampy, not too powdery, just different enough from Gun Moll to prevent me from selling it off.

Hey there- I would suggest the following for a darker and/or more complex vanilla:

Celeste

Burning Vulva

Avenger

Defututa

Golden Priapus

Tombeur

Now Winter Nights Enlarge

Yes, I think you would like both Hope & Fear Set Free and Madagascan Vanilla Rum.

If you would like something similar to Snake Charmer + chocolate try Tarantula Fascinator.

What? I never reviewed Parliament??

Ok anyways, this is a favorite of mine. The sweetest incense and tobacco with smell of a dusty old hardcover book. The opium smoke gives it a lovely oriental mysterious darkness. Looking forward to the redux, since the CD opened back up.

Oriental fans, snatch this up.

Its a wonderful, medium throw, soporific, misty, dark perfume. Nothing goes mealy, baby powdery, or excessively spicy. Its just sweet resinous myrrh, prominently dark/non-stemmy poppy, and musky sandalwood. .....WIN.
