Signed up to BPAL Madness today, as I am obsessed with perfume oils, and after my first FULL MOON OPEN HOUSE / Will Call, I am HOOKED! I happily came away from Dark Delicacies with Snake Oil (surprise, right?), Tombstone, and Lyonesse last week, and now need more, More, MORE!
I am a big fan of Carnival Wax scents, namely Jack of Aces, Druglord, Deathtrap, Clowncake, Pearl, Dreabilly, & Pirate's Dream...in that order, I think. I also really like Sage Machado's "ONYX" & Arcana's "DEVILISH"...there are more, I am just in a bit of a rush.
I gravitate towards scents that have the following notes: Bourbon, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Tobacco, Cream, Wood (like Eagleswood) Coconut, Tonka, MUSK, Amber, Butter, Booze (usually of the brown variety), Spice, Smoke, Patchouli (as long is not the strongest note), Pepper, Ash, Sugar (Marshmallow, Burnt, Brown, Toasted et al), Sweet, Salt, Sex, Gourmand
I DO NOT LIKE: Pine, Balsam, Rose - Most Florals are a no go, Mint, Fruit, Citrus (unless it is SUPER LIGHT), "Green" notes or anything overly herbally, "Aquatic" notes (salty sea/briny - exceptions), Berry, Strong herb/medicine like notes. I will add to this list, so stay tuned.
I was told SMUT was the scent for me, but how do I get my mitts on it?
I am sure there are things I need to add to the likes/not likes list, so until I do, if you need to ask some questions in order to assist me, shoot.
Thank you in advance for your time, efforts, PATIENCE, and HELP!!!
I love all of these scents, too! I agree with the O, Velvet, and Morocco recommendations, and add these, my favorites are limited editions, but the rest are general catalogue... A Variety of Pleasing Amusement (Shunga, Lupercalia lim. ed.), Red Lace, Pink Lace (Dark Delicacies lim. ed.s), Fairy Wine (Neil Gaiman, Stardust), Cockaigne (Wanderlust), Eden, Port Royal, Black Pearl (Bewitching Brews), How Doth the Little Crocodile (Mad Tea Party), Eat Me, Drink Me, Alice's Evidence, Mouse's Long and Sad Tale, Miskatonik University (Picnic in Arkham), Bien Loin D'Ici (Amatoria). You may also enjoy a brand called Solstice Scents. They do these types of fragrances very well, too.
Tried Carnival Wax? BPAL suggestions needed!
