    The lovely Moonarcana sent me a frimp of this. When I put it on I thought oooh I like this but something smells familiar. Upon reading the description it was the amber and peach. I think this is the same peach that is in Jack. As time has gone by it has gotten sweeter, must be the vanilla bean. I really like this but since I have a 5ml of Jack I will use it up before ordering this.

    I just got a bottle of this and I'm not good at reviews but I will say I love this one. When I open the bottle I smell something foody. When wet on skin ... the same thing. As it dries I am picking up something else, maybe the F&M?? Then it goes back to the warm foody note again.

     

    This reminds me of Knave of Hearts on my skin but a lighter version of it. So I would put this in the group with ... Knave of Hearts and Eat me.

     

    Very nice!! :P

    I went over to LJ and read about the King Cobra as well as the home page for the person in question.

     

    I'm just curious ... why would we as a community want to post snarky comments to the rightful owner of this picture? It's of no help to Beth and could inflame the person who is already upset (and rightfully so). This person seems to be nice as they are not bashing but just stated a fact that the photo was stolen and being used on a product they did not give permission for it to be used on. They could actually file a lawsuit over this if they wanted. I'm sure the whole King Cobra thing was a mistake and it wasn't done intentionally but as forum members we should stay out of it. It's between Beth/Macha/and the person who took the picture. We all love and respect the lab(bies) and I know it pisses some off that this person spoke up but if the shoe was on the other foot, honestly ask yourself ... what would you have done? The Lab CAN take care of itself without our help and it just might be best if that's what happened.

    JMHO. :P

     

    Best of luck to all involved.

    Anyone have :D of Tokyo Stomp? I like the other two labels but wished they would have been in Black & White like last years labels. :D

     

     

    *slight hijack*...the underpants label was sort of "beige-pinky" tho' right?

     

    i love the VD label...then again...i love VD...*end hijack*

     

    hey Sookster :) Well, I'm gonna soon find out because I just swapped for Underpants :D I've never seen it in person but the labels that I have seen posted for it looked B&W but you know more than I do. B)

    I still can't wait to get all 3 of the new MB's ... my number should be coming up soon because 4/2 orders are already shipping. The lab is kicking butt!!

     

    Cheers to the lab for all their hard work :P

     

    I knew it! When I read the description of Possion d'Avril I visualized light pink & light blue (I'm one of those people who match scents with colors). Oh how I hope it smells that way....

     

    Is there a picture of Bloody Mary (bottle) somewhere?

     

     

    Yeah there is one in the Review section. What's really cool is the lady that posted the picture looks like the label (the hair anyway ... not the black eyes). ;)

    OK, I'm a HUGE foody blend person (I do like other blends as well) and this stole my :P. As Shelldoo said this is very much like Eat me but I think it's even better. For some reason I get a pancakes & a syrup smell with this. ;). This just shot to the top three of my top ten list. :D :D :) this!!! I have to get more than the 5ml that I have ... Beth I need a gallon. B)

    If you like foody scents make sure and give this one a try. I smell pancakes with blackcurrants and a drizzle of syrup. No roses here for me unless they are of the sugared kind.

    I rate this a 5!! (out of 0-5)

    The scents with the most throw are the ones you hate. :D

     

    OMG YES. Death on a Pale Horse was strong enough on me to kill, well, a pale horse. :P You could smell it from a mile away. I couldn't seem to wash it off, either.

     

    A good friend here told me to use rubbing alcohol to remove a perfume and it really works. There have been many times I didn't like something I put on and I'd use the alcohol and then wash with soap and water and I was as good as new.

    I can't believe that no one has mentioned Mme. Moriarty - that stuff is SEXY. It's really an amazingly provocative scent (I think it's the red musk). Also, my honey has been telling me how sexy I smell whenever I wear Midway, which surprises me as I don't think of Midway as being a sexy scent, but it works for him so hey :P

     

    My husband agree's with your honey. He loves both of those on me too. He also loves Arcana's Devilish (I have had MANY compliments when wearing this).

     

    I love Morocco but he didn't comment on that one but my Mom smelled it in the bottle and she didn't like it. I think it's Fab!

    What are the differences in label color and design between the first release of the Carnaval Noir series and the second release? Some of my bottles show that the little skeleton-jester at the top of the label is wearing a white hat, while on others his hat is red. Which was the first original release?

     

    Thanks.

     

    I was looking at my CN (which is the secong series)

     

    Medicine Show has a Blue jester hat

    Shill has white

    Kunstkammer has either white or cream

    House of Mirrors has a light blue hat

    Freak Show has a blue hat

    Carnival has a red hat

     

    So maybe the colors of the hat mean nothing except I did notice they match the font color on the bottles. ( just a thought ) :D

    The groundhog is soooo cute!! So glad I bought two bottles. :P

    Oooh cool, Thanks Midnight. I love looking at the bottles labels and hope more people post pictures of all the new stuff. Would really like to see pics of the new Lupercalia labels. Anyone out there have any they want to share with us?

    I need some help solving a problem :D I've got two of the older bottles of 13, one is cobalt & one is amber. I already checked for pics, there is one of the amber, but not titled to say which it is.

     

    Both have white labels but the cobalt has the more papery-feeling one. Cobalt smells much more of cocoa, very smooth; amber is noticeably sharper, so I'm pretty sure they're different blends. Unless someone did something they shouldn't have with the contents? :P

     

    Help me out, please?

     

     

    The cobalt bottle with the papery label is probably the original, as it sounds like my own bottle of the original. I don't have a bottle of the second version though so I cannot confirm what the second one looks like, sorry!

     

    Are you wondering about May 2005 vs. January 2006? I would guess the cobalt one is from May 2005 and the amber one is from January 2006, and it's the fresher citrus causing it to be sharper (not having aged as long). Plus it could just be from variations in the component oils themselves, that even happens from one batch to the next, let alone 7 months apart.

     

    I had a bottle of the Jan. 06 briefly, and it looked identical to the original label, although I don't remember the exact texture/finish. Definitely paper though, not the newer glossy labels. The only glossy one was October 2006, which was orange instead of white.

     

     

    Yeah, I have January 06 and it is amber with papery lablel :-)

     

    I have the two you are talking about. The blue bottle has more chocolate and the second in the amber bottle has more Iris than chocolate. They have the same description but were blended differently. Don't worry, no one tampered with them because mine are the same. I'm sure you could confirm this with Beth and company.

    Hmm, that's really odd. My recent order contained a 5ml of Tzadikim Nistarim. And it came in a blue bottle! It also had an old papery label which makes me wonder if it's an older bottle from a batch of TN that was mixed ages ago?

     

    Last night I noticed my bottle of TKO has an old style paper label. The bottle itself is amber. But since TKO is a new blend, maybe it means they ran out of the plastic coated label paper for a while and that's why your bottle had a paper label too? Does that make sense?

     

    Or maybe they have a whole bunch of labels already printed up and instead of throwing them away they decided to use them. Ink is expensive. :P

    In the bottle: Floral

    Wet on skin: smoky floral

    Dry: still smoky floral but getting sweeter

    30 min later: Heavens to murkatroid ... chocolate covered cherries!! Yummmmmmy! :D

     

    At first I did not like this one too much ... goes to show ya, you have to try this on your skin and let it morph through the stages. Also has a lot to do with body chemistry.

     

    :P
