dOes anybody know of a gc equivalent or relative to my beloved night bpal of

Bonfire Night?

I am getting rather desperate!

This was a most wonderful gift from my SW; I am ferociously bad at keeping up with what's new, what's great, what's limited and all that, so when I unscrewed the cap of BAH and was surrounded with a coffehouse; a good coffehouse. I was midway into a cuppa joe without venturing to the coffermaker. No whiskey was discernable from my bottle, and once on my wrists the coffee was smooth, and that's all I really get; a slightly smoky, extremely smooth coffee-and that is why I love it so, and am hoarding my beloved bottle!

have gone through a bottle and now an imp-dark cocoa powder, reminiscent of my beloved LIndt dark chocolate-in the imp it smells too chocolate-

however once its on the wrist and drydown smells as if Ive dusted wrist with a bit of vanilla and cocoa mox, but it's not a big WHAT ARE YOU WEARING SCENT!

More subtle than it seems in the imp I admit am not tempted to slather, very dry, and you know how some beers note they have a hint of chocolate-well, this is more of a hint, but not syrupy sweet fortunately. Wearable, though I expected to reach for it more than I do; perhaps am scared of nibbling my own wrist!

I had a slight dry greenish feel to mine-twas my skin chemistry-it was very cooling and evocative at the same time.Of course the name may have made me love it, but it was a cool crisp scent with an undercurrent of green grass (IMHO)And I slathered it til there was no more!!:(I had a slight dry greenish feel to mine-twas my skin chemistry-it was very cooling and evocative at the same time.Of course the name may have made me love it, but it was a cool crisp scent with an undercurrent of green grass (IMHO)And I slathered it til there was no more!!

in the bottle smoke and wood and deep smells..on me it drifts away and smells slightly rubbery on my wrist-not bad, just difficult to sniff out the coffee that I want to be there. Have kept reapplying since it arrived today, but my skin must be eating this up; the moment I apply I get a whiff of coffee with a pinch of cream,and then poof its gone and its all wood and smoke on me>Will give it more time, so far bottle worthy, but with my slathering I may get through half the bottle before the coffee stays on my wrist!

ADDED April 24:

Ok, today is a whole new day, and now am liking my bottle of the Velvet Dogs playing poker more than I did yesterday. Have slathered pretty freely on the wrists, and instead of coffee I am getting silken smokiness, and it brings up an image of heavy brocade vests that have been worn for a night out and gotten a bit of the smoke into the fabric; but it's not musty or anything.A little while later a smidgen of coffee comes out, and this reminds me of a warm mens cologne but without the ugliness of the alcohol of typical mens cologne.

Since I am a scent slut for smoky scents, this is definitely growing on me and my wrists; very sultry smokiness

It's the best kind of creamsicle thaat is way more adult than the creamsicle I ate as a kid; very clean and springy with citrus at the center!Worth hoarding if I say so myself!

Ok, here's another wedding attendee third week of March (its in the evening, but is in Massachusetts) I wont know most of the peeps,and even though was invited with a "plus one" do not have a date (chumwick does not count) Now, what to wear, am thinking of getting a dressy skirt and silk blouse kind of thing and as far as bpal am thinking f either Loves Philosophy Huesos de Santos or Dorian (dont like the Snake oil-hides from the masses)

Want to be elegant, warm,and was also thinking of wearing O

and dress suggestions for a middle aged woman( who wants to cover her arms, and could stand to lose a few pounds) about 5'5' are very welcome!

As far as not knowing the relatives and such, its the wedding of the painter across the hall from me, and her bf, and am told there will be an artists table-so whew! Hopefully anything other than my usual cruddy jeans and tshirts will be ok!

bought a bottle, and am gonna give it another sniff but sofar it's um "nothing in particular" but I love the name so will give it another chance.I do smell green, but maybe also dusty-like a dusty road.it wasnt an immeidate NO,nor was it a covet more kind of bottle

light, clear and hard t sniff on me so far!

Funny. Cinnamon is not a listed note, but this is all rum, almond and cinnamon on me. It's kinda like mixing Sugar Cookie and Three Witches. Almost feel like I can get drunk just sniffing my arm.

 

Oh man, I am glad I went with my instinct and got 2 bottles right away. I know I will be getting more before they are gone.

yeah this is so warm and comforting-no cinnamon on me, so glad I ordered a bottle,and overcame my urge to economize and orderred another bottle from a forumite last night. This is so comforting; a sleepytime scent for me;could actually let me stop using bonfire night as a warm sleepy scent-um yeah this is strong-when i slather at bedtime and i wake up I can still smell the warm almond boozy scent-yum YUM-a new favorite for me

ADDED Nov. 20:

this is my new comfort scent that I can wear all day; doesnt smell of cinnamon to me; have already gone through almost half the bottle.warm but more cookie alcohol-if there is such a thing, than hot spice cinnamon-slightly boozy but not OOH whos drinking here? kinda boozy

just all around goodness to me-a new favorite!

ADDED April 24:

Multiple bottle worthy; the only problem is that I might get hungry-I dont smell cookie specifically, but more of the sweet rum on drydown, and after a while my wrist is a buttercookie with a tad of naughty liquor, and I am wondering why I didn't get another bottle.Oh yeah..I did,and I slathered it all up.Apparently I love for my wrist to smell like alcohol-in a good warm way!

this is a gift from my witch deazinn; my second bottle=my firs was also a gift,and if I ever read the notes probably wouldnt have tried it.am so glad I never read the notes-this is warm and cool at the same time-funnily enough it reminds of a 'creamsicle' but in a good non foody way-what a creamsicle would be if it was perfume-which now that I read the notes makes sense-it feels very wearable to me; not one of those scents where Im concerned about wearing too much..

I wouldnt have pegged this as floral, but a soft, silky vanilla with a slight hint of citrus, very clean AND snuggly yet not foody with a slight hint of creaminess that makes me go awwwwwww

bonfire night!!!!!!!!!!

just received an imp of this in a swap(thank you) will have to give it more tries, but it does have a very clean, astringent feeling. I think it will be perfect for hot summer days,somewhat aquatic. Pine cleaner makes it's appearance here; either that or a very clean forest!

It arrived, and at first I just smelled a very light vanilla....and somehow rice pudding maybe with a light , light floral(the hint of floral I got reminded me of a daisy but do daisies smell-hmm)

Anyway, I may have overdone the slathering, or found my inital application comes out after a while, turning into a rich cream...buttercream frosting perhaps(in a good way)

Then it was dry, and it blended into my day...later on I was at a grill, and the guy manning the grill told me I smelled good. I showed him the bottle,and wrote down the website!!

It's a ladylike scent, but not old-fashioned, and by ladylike, I mean not old ladylike, and the ladylike encompasses everyone who wants a slightly warm vanilla that is subtle and could be an everyday favorite.

ADDED Feb. 22:

cream cream cream, and I just ordered another bottle, after considering that I'd used about a third of my existing bottle.it feels very soft on me once it'sdry,and very faint, and tome,doesn't have much throw, but I still loveit...about the throw I must be wrong,because a friend mentioned that I smelledgood in class the other evening. I just sent him the link tobpalas amatter of fact,and my Love'sPhilosphy did lead to a discussion about french perfume houses.

This feels like a "good girl" perfume,but won'tstopme from wearing it. i dont know where the saffronis or went, as it hasn't yet made it's presence known to me, but the vanilla is not too sweet so this is very wearable and worthy of daily slathering.

Ive gotten through whole bottles of Red Lantern, Gingerbread POppet, MIsk U, Drink Me and Bonfire Night-umm I tend to slather I gues-but also I have spilled-but still I figure perfume is there to be used!!!!

warm cream and honey in the bottle...as far as this smelling like baby powder, not on me...but then again sex does sometimes result in babies soo...

I get a warm cream and honey and vanilla that lingers ....I tend to slather and dont wanna scare people off with this one, but I am glad that my faves (like this one) are all GC! it might be too heavy for spring and Summer, but by then I will probably have gone through this; my second bottle, as well!

Shub-dark, then comforting ginger...not sickly foody, but grownup ginger...my imp is sadly gone, but the ginger here stayed on me well into the evening and I could catch a hint of it in the morning. it has the comfort of antique lace with a gingery touch so it is more energetic in feeling.

My imp of gnome was a special gift brought to me by Chumwick, so I knew it was ahem a "special" scent. Well, it was indeed dark and earthy,and I dabbed it on expecting it to turn a tad less dark. THE EARTH part that other people mention seemed to amp up on me, and even though I used a tiny drop it was the kind of "spilled an entire bottle on self" darkness feeling. It did remind me of dark rooms and head shops of my youth, but it felt too dark to wear comfortably, so despite being a special gift it has now found a loving home with a forumite who after receiving my imp ordered a bottle.

On me it was too patchouli/vetiver for comfy wearing:(

Gingerbread Poppet, Bonfire Night, Antique Lace, Dorian , Centzon T(whatever it is) as well as some other oils from a weirdo etailer in Ohio

the vanillas and honey and of course PUmpkin just envelope me in warm snugglies!

I heart this,and by the description never would have ordered, but was lucky enough to be sent a decant by a kind forumite:DThank you for enabling!

BONFIRE NIGHT_it is the awesome-it is love-it rocks-it brings me back to camping bonfires,and all that!can u tell i lurve it?get plenty

This is a very rich chocolate; almost too much (never thoghtI'd say that)but over time it does calm down abit.There is a hint of cinnamon, but overall I am enveloped in warm hot chocolate.I definitely enjoy this, and am glad I have a bottle for slathering-this probably will be a dab instead of a slather-its an almost mocha buttery chocolate but that's just IMHO! very enjoyable-stops licking wrist

ADDED Nov. 22:

I ditto previous comment-more chocy cocoa goodnessenveloping me in a warm chocolate blanket and a mug o'cocoa(as if that makes sense)!!!It is a new favo0rite for sure!!!!!!!woot-staying power is good-but I keepgetting hungry and smelling wrist

Mine just came today,and it was a messy,sloppy,wet day so to be rescued by GINGERBREAD POPPET yum-I think it might be a tad fruitier than my other bottle (that is now safe for me to stop hoarding)have slathered a couple times since Ive been home and even though it makes me hungry I love it-warm,spicy,purrfect!

ADDED Dec. 18:

Now that I have the 2007 bottle I can relax and use the last drops of my 2005 bottle;my wrists smell like moist,warm gingerbread, the best cake or cookie ever. The 2005 lasts quite a while on me, almost peppery but in a good way, and with this I am getting hungry

Just received it today from my SW via another forumite-a full bottle;immediately smelled luscious nuts and fruity pumpkin.Over time it was not baked goods, but more sublte,less foody,could wear it around others without causing undue harm.Had wrist affixed to nose for good portion of the day.It has faded to a fruitypumpkin; kind of like when you cut the pumpkin open.I have a new love!

reminds me-just got home,and bonfire night is one of my new faves,and would be perfect to fall asleep with(ok,so I have no life-but the smokiness is comfy;I dont even really smell beer though-some almost caramel perhaps?

ADDED Jan. 31:

I think I bought it because of remembering Guy fawkes night,and some bonfire nights I'd been to in the UK, and this scent is as close to bringing those bonfire nights back as humanly possible. When I first put it on I get smoke, which is how it should be. IN RL I dont like smoke whatsoever, but this is soft smoke, reminds me of worn tweed jackets, sitting around at folk clubs, library books, and autumn leaves.

It has a dusty slightly dirty feel, but is warm and inviting at the same time. It is my new beloved, and I am hoarding my bottles>

It does have quite a bit of throw, and while it is not something I'd wear if I wanted to feel oh so energetic and sparkly, it is a comforting slightly boozy woodsmoke that is comforting, and is my new favorite scent to wear for going to sleep.

ADDED 7/21/09:

No carrot smell for me; just luscious woodsmoke, and a bit of beer, and a slightly dirty or dirt scent, maybe whiskey smoke if such a thing exists.

This is my go to sleep scent most timesand very evocative of Bonfire Night GUY FAWKES night I spent in Camden town, London about twenty three years ago, as well as everyday burning leaves bonfires in mid afternoon, Maybe this is slightly masculine, definitely not clean feeling, but very luscious and warm

DRINK ME !!!!!!!!

also Bonfire Night (sort of dirty bonfire woodsmoke) just received from a forumite who dared to part with it-it has now found it's true home!
