*sighs* Blood Kiss just makes me grieve, I tell you. GRIEVE.

I wanted to badly to love this scent on me. I was almost positive it would be wonderful, heady goodness on me. Alas...

In the bottle: I was immediately startled at the awfulness of it. I could smell no vanilla, no clove, no cherry, no nothing I'm supposed to smell. Just spicy, powdery... goo.

Wet on skin: More of the same. I think I'm smelling the vetiver...

Dry: It's just spicy powder. I can't put my finger on a single note in this blend. I finally had to wash it off

Verdict: I am so sad that this oil turned to disaster on my skin. Bleh, into the swap pile and onto another oil.

Hooray, my first review!

In the bottle: Nothing but old lady perfume.

Wet on the skin: The leather slapped me in the face HARD, and I thought to myself, "Ohhhh, I could like this!" I kept sniffing as it dried, and the smell of burning autumn leaves started to come through, sharp and almost dizzying. Still though, there's that strong scent of what I can only (and unfortuantely) describe as 'old lady perfume'. I'm assuming that must be the Dragon's Blood, since I'm not sure what it smells like in the first place.

Dry: I keep sniffing and sniffing, and what I'm getting now is more of a sharp, heady incense smoke smell. It's the perfect Ashevillian hippie scent.

Throw: Heavy and horrible. It's sickeningly perfumey.

Verdict: I can definitely appreciate this scent, and while I don't hate it, I have enough sense to realize that it just isn't for me.
