I'm clearly in the minority here, but I finally tried out an imp of this today (I'm embarrassed by how many imps I haven't tested out yet) and I'm completely in love with this scent. Amber usually really amps on my skin, but this is really subtle and warm on me: lots of incense, gentle amber and patchouli, and a slight whiff of smoke. I love this fragrance and will buy a bottle when I place my next order.

I am a patchouli loving fool, but the patchouli in this is decidely different from the stuff I usually gravitate to, which is typically the more classic, familiar, hippie-ish patchouli. Perhaps it's the white tobacco that softens it. On my skin, there's a slight hint of vanilla or black tea after drydown -- it's hard to place, but a little sweet, and a little spicy, and very clean. A really complex, lovely fragrance with real staying power.

This scent has completely seduced me. I bought a bottle at the Lunacy event in February, and then ordered two more (though I gave one to my daughter). I seriously think i need to order a few more to stash. Snake Oil tends to turn a little sweet on me, so the leather note in this makes it absolutely perfect, and it lasts a very, very long time.

If you enjoy The Black Rider, I would recommend trying Rogue from the RPG line as well. It shares that rugged leather note If you liked Sin, you might like Vixen, too! Thank you so much! I will check out both of those.

I am brand new to the forums, but these are my current favorites. Thanks for any recommendations you care to offer! Sin Malediction Dragon's Musk The Black Rider Bloodlust
