    Ohhhh, can I play?

    I'm *really* hoping for some GE scent recommendations because I keep falling in love with LEs that are increasingly more difficult to hunt down, and I'd love to find a signature in the general catalogue!

     

    Snake Oil is great! And there's nothing like it, but it's GC so that's good. :)

     

    Aren't the 13s usually chocolate based? You may want to check out other chocolate and cocoa recs, here's a giant and delicious thread of recs:

    Of Cheshire Cat, is it the citrus that you like? You may want to try some of the other citrus scents, like:

    Aelopile

    Embalming Fluid *super zingy and bright!

    Phantasm

    Xiuhtecuhtli

    Manhattan *really a great scent!

    Mag Mell *love this!

    Cairo *This one is so great!

    Shanghai

    Thanks so much -- these are great recs! The 13s ARE pretty chocolate based! I love those two most for their complexity (the orange label one is like, a spicy chocolate orange -- like eating a chocolate orange in a spicy incensed room, and the april one is like if you took wildflowers and poured white chocolate all over them with something a little spicy in it as well to give it a little heft), Cheshire Cat I like because I know it's meant to smell like citrus, but it actually smells like fruitcake to me?? Something about those glaceed cherries and warm, eggy bread, and booze. I don't know why because I don't see a lot of people saying it smells like that to them, but there's something not classically citrus that comes out real strong on me, and I love it!

     

    One thing that I've noticed about many of the chocolate blends is that they feel pretty strictly gourmand? and while I love a gourmand, I tend to like it with a little spicy stink thrown in, too. I'll certainly have a looksee, though. Thank you so much for taking the time to recommend!!
