Milk chocolate buttercream. I love this, it is practically obscene. I love the dry down, that's when I get the buttercream whiffs. Wet in the bottle it smells exactly like chocolate chip cookies to me. The creaminess of the chocolate on is just right, it is rich but it isn't a cloying or plastic like note at all. I'd definitely get another bottle, because aging this is going to be insanely good I reckon.

This is just absolutely gorgeous, the cloves smell so fresh and strong and the rose is very dewy. All an all a lovely combination, very spicey and incense like on the dry down, but when layered with White Rose as well, is just brilliant I can't stop smelling myself ^^

I was really surprised at the dry down, I enjoyed the wet in bottle smell..but now I'm going to have to find a couple bottles to horde. That being said, the review bit. The very first thing I can smell is a really expensive smelling white chocolate followed by a dark powdered cocoa which goes amazingly well with the honeysuckle. The throw is lovely; I can smell it on without it being horribley cloying or a shell of scent in my wake. I can definitely smell the all spice and nutmeg for sure. It's shot to my fav. of the 13s!

OMG! In the bottle it is very masculine, which I adore yet when I put it on, it doesn't have that heaviness that says give this to your gentleman straightaway. Just can not stop sniffing my wrists, the wood notes are very previlant and it's got such a sweet lingering spiciness. I really would love to slather this on my gentleman friend and would love another bottle to age because I'm betting this will be insanely good down the road! Smells quite warm too, if that sort of description makes sense. ^^

I'm in love with this, the cinnamon is so hot smelling, if that makes sense at all. Also get a wonderful mix of clove, orange and peachiness. Really like how strong the scent is, it has a lot of presence, very thick but not cloying in any ways. I imagine this would smell gorgeous on a man as well.

Labdanum, cedar, teak and red rose. I am this stage still unsure whether or not I like this particular blend. Am a fan of rose, but only done in a certain way (love Rose Red for example) but sometimes it can take over and be too cloying. What this strikes me as whiffing the bottle a similarity to Ventriloquist's Dummy, that slight metallic tang. Having it on a few hours now I'm really getting the cedar scent strongly and just a faint bit of the rose. What is odd that it reminds me slightly of cedar and wet newspaper with the touch of rose. Really not sure how much sense that makes, but certainly heavy on the cedar chip scent. Also reminds me of the rose flav. of turkish delight candy! Having repeatedly sniffied the wrists I think I'm warming to this quite a lot, perhaps not an everyday scent but very glad to have it.

I try all the sleeping blends and dreaming alike. Especially keen on Nocturne (TAL) and Somnus. Surprised at how much I'm enjoying TKO, my meds make me so tired that I feel I could sleep all day and at night it's a battle quieting my mind down to rest. Easier to worry during a long night than a busy day I spose...ok on me it smells so delightful and relaxing. To me it smells a lot like making rice crispies treats, that wonderful smell of melting vanilla marshmellows combined with lavender and they compliment each other so well. Seems summery and light and not at all cloying with the sweetness. Definitely it relaxes me and will gladly scare up another bottle to add to my arsenal.

Love this, will happily try and horde bottles of this. I love the look of it, the needing to roll around the bottle to get the cocoa to mix in. Completely thick, unfortunately right at first dry down upon skin it goes to burning rubber smell, but it mellows on me to be gorgeous cocoa and most certainly all that is good about Snake Oil itself. Love that dry cocoa scent, makes me think of taking a deep sniff off a tin of Hershey's unsweetened. This smells beautiful I like to put a a decent amount in my palms and run it through my hair. The smell lasts wonderfully long for me so it's worth the very short 'rubber' period.

I'm quite a big fan of Somnus and TAL Nocturne, I like Temple of Dreams a lot, I find my dreams to be amazing with it.

La Flamme is completely gorgeous. Please bare with me as this is my first review, I believe. It's a heady scent upon application, it reminds me of a warm wet pomander ball, with clove and spices punctured into a ripe orange. On me it truly does feel both wet and warm, almost living on the skin. Quite aware of the scent but not due to extreme throw or being overpowered. Upon dry down I get whiffs of cinnamon and oddly enough puffs of brown sugar, La Flamme remains both sweet and spicy on my skin. As for effectiveness; a lot more attentiveness than ever I was anticipating. edited for spelling error.
