aphrodite

ugh. whatever night flowers are in here do not work for me, at least in this combo. there's something i almost want to like, but mostly it's like an offputtingly sweet floral with crushed chalk and soapiness.

This is actually very honey-like on me, with just enough of a light woodland floral to keep it from getting overly sweet. I can wear it all day, unlike many sweet scents, because it's such a natural sort of sweet. It's divine when mixed with something sharper, like Elf or Belladonna. It inspired me to order a bunch of honey imps, because if they all have such a distinct honey sweetness and I can find one balanced with a darker scent, it would be sheer perfection. this was an unrequested imp and I am so glad I got it.

I don't know if I would've ever thought to order this scent, but it came as a free imp. I'm surprised by how it smells — just chocolatey — and even more surprised by how much I like it. It's something I can wear often yet I think it stands out on my skin. It's not sweet like sugar, it's sweet like deep vanilla bean. If you've ever used Bed Head's Chocolate Head hair treatment, it reminds me exactly of the way your hair smells after that.
