lavinia

i saw a few on e-bay earlier

Spooky is very Island girl on me...my skin eats the chocolate and the mint and I am left with gorgeous coconut with faint liquor Have you tried Swank? Pomangranite martinis Juke Joint is so good...pure Mint Julep...having been a bartender, you could layer this with a cranberry like Lampades maybe for a fruited effect. Grog is naughty pirate drink and so good... Blood Countess is sort of like a wonderful punchy sangria...mmm... Enbalming Fluid is nice green tea with lemon. Bewitched is sooooo good blackberry with green tea. Centzon Totochin is like a winey-boozey chocolate drink...so enticing. gosh, there are alot of them when you think about it. ps- for marine aqua, I recommend Bayou and R'yleah!

On me, this didn't smell overly of choccie or mint but rather became a fabulous coconut summer tanning oil. It reminds me of a sexy hot summer day at the beach and what you smell like later that evening such a great coconut scent on its own and I could see layering this with sheer light white florals too for a Tahitian Island girl effect I got this yesterday and found my self reaching for more as it faded which is a good thing...very me and very comforting and yet sexy!

you are so right on the blood kiss and centzon t.- vice is a bit more orange blossomy but i can see the similarity! golden priapus is actually o with added wood notes for the boys. snake oil is more vanilla and patchouli than o or golden priapus and i liken it to sacred whore with added gardenia also, hell's belle is very similar to sacred whore and black dahlia. someone above said new orleans and bayou are similar...i don't get that...new orleans is a bit boozy with jasmine, honeysuckle and nightblooms...bayou is ozoney murky water with spanish moss and earthy elements and swamp flowers.

hmm...i would never think to make that connection and i do love both of these! flying saucer is honeycomb, palmarossa, cypress, benzoin and ylang ylang...the two do have vetivert in common but blood kiss is full of red wine, cloves, and vanilla...so i don't know that i think these are similar scent-wise but they def. are both wonderful

how about Seraglio ? it is one that morphs and changes, has a slightly foody vibe like baklava at the start but deepens and softens with rose and sandalwood and orange peel. very addictive.

I would recommend French Creole but it was discontinued I wear this for meetings or for added strength. It is supposed to draw influential people to you and not in a sex way. Maybe Crucible of Courage or Has No Hanna could make you feel a bit bolder as well

i agree hamadryad is magical and lovely like lush's flowertub bubble bath in that woodsy yet slightly feminine way. also, tingatel, umbra and intrigue are quite woodsy, deep and dreamy to me.

antique lace and pele

antique lace so perfectly light and sheer with a wisp of musk behind it. snake oil sexy spiced vanilla but not foody la petite mort is another good rec too.

just wore Sacred Whore of Babylon tonight for the first time and you ordered well with this, New Orleans, Whip and Black Dahlia! This is my current favorite oil...I am in love!

i just got Intrigue and I smell the fig in it very nice! figs, palm, cocoa and wood...a good combo.

antique lace empyreal mist segur segara dana o'shee maiden la petite mort water of notre dame nocturne all are floral based but very soft and wispy and no "old lady" smell

hmm- my picks are: new orleans, love me, sin, morocco, queen of sheba, seraglio, wanda, blood kiss and O. all are so sexy and unique and are highly addictive golden priapus is like O for the boys- it has an added layer of woodsy notes- so that makes sense, purely cosmetic, that you are drawn to both i get crazy reactions when i wear O so i can only imagine what golden priapus would start! if i want even more oomph, i layer sin or love me with O or queen of sheba eta: forgot to mention schezerade you said you like sandalwood and this is so sexy! it blends well with O and the honey-ish ones or with florals too for some extra mee-owww!

I thought Love Me smelled a lot like Flying Fox <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well, i have posted b/f that oneiroi the dream oil is exactly like flying fox and i am in love with love me but it is definitely cinnamonny and got some spice going on that isn't in flying fox so i would necessarily link the two as similar- i am sure they are great to use together though

Bayou very watery, magical and not like anything else!

Was showering at the gym with Tramp and got to thinking that Aureus reminds me of Tramp and also, for Silky Undies lovers, Venom & Umbra together smell like this. Venom on its own reminds me of Sex Bomb & Sakura/Seanick together!

thought of a few more! perversion, dragon's blood, dragon's milk, blood amber, blood kiss, lust, oneiroi, baku and temple of dreams. eta: ooh ooh...one more! bastet

golden priapus is O for the boys- it has the addition of the woods and musk- it s a little different from snake oil i really like fae and tamora and have to say that marquise de merteuil with its juicy peach gives a similar vibe

i would suggest: hamadryad, la petit mort, snake oil, merquise de merteuil, sin, love me, chimera, water of notre dame, antique lace, queen of sheba, r'yleah, seraglio, red devil, O, envy, three witches, scherezade. all of these are either spicy/creamy or clean and fresh. none of these are florally esp. rose or jasmine. since you like tamora, i especially thought of marquise de merteuil enjoy! eta: none of these are too foody either

well, you got some good suggestions already...add this into the mix: it isn't the ocean but bayou is a murky and not too clean watery scent...i also love r'yleah too very ozone-ish and fantastic.

hamadryad is very similar to tingatel i think i love these two myself!

black cat

since you have tried mata hari and desire and those haven't worked, i would recommend some layering to get the perfect rose and vanilla or jasmine and vanilla combo i would pick a creamy vanilla-ish base like snake oil or o and then layer with one of beth's amazing rose blends like rose red or whip. both are so dreamy even on their own and you will love them. for jasmine, and i am a jasmine fan myself, layer over the snake oil or o with new orleans or oneiroi or black dahlia. some other good jasminey ones are- nyx, queen mab, wicked, twilight and the first 3 have rose too! i always layer with my bpal blends- its fun to play around eta- spelling boo-boos

hi y'all i saw this thread and was reminded that i had purchased the eau de parfum bottle which is the refillable 25 ml. one of angel over the summer and have used maybe almost half- so it is still pretty full and is eau de parfum which is pretty potent and can be refilled- they do refills at nordstrom's for less than the bottle price so its a good deal...i haven't worn it since the summer and feel bad holding on it. anybody who loves angel, feel free to pm me with an offer- i have paypal or like lush stuff too- and i shall send it over to an angel-hungry angel with some other goodies too!
