  1. The best way I can describe this is rugged. The tobacco really amps and the way it blends the the coffee turns all dirty on me, and dare I say masculine. Strangely, this dragon turned to floral cologne on me, but I can definitely see the right person smelling like a powerful beast slathered in coffee-coco-chew.


  2. This must be the dragon's blushing cheeks - beautiful, moderately sweet cherry blossom, divinely fresh and floral. "Transparent" and easy going - almost rosy. The blossoms are almost fruity here. I'm getting a top-note of the delicate florals blending with something that almost smells like rain. It's very lovely, feminine and so pretty. This is perfect for those bright, sunny days when the sky is full of huge, fluffy clouds and you want something creamy, bright and romantic.


  3. I also hesitated because of the mint, but went for it anyway because of the marshmallow. The mint is UPFRONT but drifts away like a SMOOCH after a few minutes leaving behind a delectable, creamy, almost buttery peachy marshmallow. The peach is very sugared and thick, swimming around in the background while the most delicious ooey-gooey sticky marshmallow cream sparkles and wears the crown. This dragon gave me a big wet kiss and it all turned to ripe sunshine peaches and nom-nom stay-pufft dreams.


  4. Apricot-tinted lilies, heady white climbing roses, sweet pea, and red carnation.

    Waiting for the Century Guild book along with the perfume was a challenge. I admit to stalking the kickstarter page, anxious for an update. Finally, my box appeared!!!! I've NEVER waited this long for BPAL :thud:

    The book alone was worth the wait. The color plates inside take my breath away with their beauty. Page after page of luscious, Art Nouveau masterpieces printed on glossy, thick pages. It's a feast for the eyes, and having a perfume to accompany it, makes my heart sing.

    Not your average, fruity floral, it is a sophisticated fresh fragrance and an absolute must for floral lovers.
    So innocent and sexy at the same time. As the top notes settle,
    the indulgent floral bouquet transforms into a unique floral potion. Sweet, clean, airy and uplifting, the apricot keeps the sweet pea and other flowers from becoming to sweet or cloying. The fruity aspect is almost like a honey fragrance or nectar facet, which creates a rich and indulgent blend. I've tried countless apricot blends, and they have never worked until this one. Perhaps it's the way the spicy lily and carnation create a perfect balance. A stroll through a wild, bewitching flower garden with rose colored glasses and butterfly wings.

  5. I have discovered I love the smell of berries and I have been desperately searching for the ultimate warm jam scent. I've tried knave of hearts, eat me, and eat the strawberries the two of the latter being the closest but not quite there (eat the strawberries was too green/fresh and the currants in eat me are so close but the cake scent sometimes overpowers the currants) any recommendations?

    Have you tried Sticky Eyeballs and Floppy Entrails? It is totally, thick, sticky jam to me with a side a gooey.


  6. This is such a classic beauty and I dare say, in the running to be my favorite from the latest release.

    Warm and intoxicating with creamy sweetness from the dark fig, perfectly balanced within a glorious spicy, oriental opulence. Womanly and beloved, it brings to mind a Gypsy caravan, filled with opulent riches, precious amber, saffron and shining patchouli oil jars. Something within the aroma is so calming, almost sedative. I want to drape myself in silks, throw open the velvet curtains and dance in the bloody moonlight.

     


  7. All of the quirky notes smashing their little sparkling molecules together is magnificent. This fragrance for me, evokes a certain time, and material while remaining elusively vague. It achieves this feat with its seemingly amorphous quality, delicate, clean, classy and understated.
    Neither woody nor floral, I can't exactly describe it as heavily herbal or musky either, yet somehow it smells distinctive and chic. Like a cross between the scent of a freshly printed upscale design magazine and the interiors of a luxury occult shop, the warm, seductive ambergris shines at the finish, while the wispy, earthy tobacco gives it a certain sensual sophistication and mystic. This makes me feel swishy and delicately swathed in timeless elegance.


  8. A censored scent, reminiscent of sugar crust with a hint of cherry meringue.

    In the bottle, it smells just like opening one of those big Trader Joe's jars of cherries. I LOVE those cherries and F#@K does not disappoint. The sweetness EXPLODES up and outwards after application, and the throw makes my eyes roll back a little. After a few minutes, the strong, upfront cherry note settles down and the sugar crack vanilla comes through. I'm also getting kindof a boozy note. Finishing off with the money shot, a GORGEOUS warm sugar and vanilla finish, the cherry has moved into the background, giving it the tiniest bit of fruit. This is sugary, floaty cherry vanilla dream :heart:


  9. Right after putting it on, it’s exactly like a foamy cup of milky hot chocolate. NOT a dark chocolate, or powdery cocoa, but a creamy, frothy-topped milk chocolate. YUMMY! After it settles for a bit, i’m getting some sort of honey candy. Yep, this is exactly like gorging on an entire Toblerone honey-chocolate bar. All creamy milk chocolate with that ooeygooey honey nougat middle. This is a sinfully decadent foodie! If you desire to smell like a big ole’ dollop of Toblerone melted in a cup, you will fall hard for policeman Chad, and want him to frisk you :P


  10. These lies are made of silvery sweetness and pinks. The honey is airy and light, while the rose is creamy fluff. On my skin, it's a delicious, mellow, floral cotton-candy delight. The dry down becomes fuller and richer, it's ladylike, yet extremely wearable. There's something almost "milky" about the way the honey froths with the floral that's certainly addictive. Perfect for when you want to feel sexy in a cute and carefree way, this embodies innocence with an seductive bite.

  11. This Goddess. As truly stunning as any amber, opulent and wearable. Mesmerizing, as the millions of decades of amber have been in existence, glowing with sensuality and beauty. As true to its essence as amber can be - a perfectly resinous amber absolutely without any harshness.

    I see this as a companion scent for Shadow, opulent, rich and voluptuous, it makes me feel exquisitely womanly, exotic and alluring. Magnificently blended, the notes come to the surface in various ways, giving me little whiffs of ecstasy. Effortlessly sexy, this is hot, warm skin in a bottle that makes you want to get closer, all wrapped up in a cashmere embrace. It has a vintage vibe, a deep, sensual hippy vibe, deep and seductive while it works it's swirlywhirly magic. Full of emotion, of lust, love, bliss, mystery and LIFE with all of its dimensions. Don't be afraid to embrace her with all of your being. She will give you back more that what you ever dreamed.


  12. "Many a scrubland have I wandered and came across a honeysuckle vine and under it alone I sat and cried, tears of honey and wine." Jitterbug Perfume, Tom Robbins

    Sweet and whimsical, vulnerable, yet playful I can almost hear the Goddess laugh. Fresh and clean, imagine a crisp, white-eyelet ruffle petticoat, drop-and-roll down the green grassy meadow. This is such a sugary pleasure to my nose. It opens wild and absolutely amazing, sweet, but still somehow creamy which delights me very much. Here the jasmine is not "heady" or "too much". It is divinely well blended and never overpowers the composition. I find this to be extremely feminine yet youthful, romantic, cheerful and inviting. Perfect for a humid, summer night filled with drinking, dancing and a bunny romp or two.


  13. I’m not sure if I can fully describe just how amazing this brown cat is. The bourbon vanilla comes round and envelopes the smoky cedar, becoming a cozy warm bubble of delicious warmth. All of this surrounds me and becomes a musky, better than skin...and meow hiss~ purrrrrrr, almost forbidden, private and exclusive scent when skin close. This is like sinking your face into a friend's fur collar in a wooded grove, or taking a long-haired lover by the fire. Extremely intimate, meaningful and special.


  14. Dark, almost muddy patch upon application, it's really earthy and I'm left looking for the "midnight raven" I was hoping for. Thankfully, the dank wood settles down into smoky resins, while the dark, gloomy sweet, violet resins warm up to float atop. After a couple minutes, the drydown is all glistening blackest purple notes. Simple, yet great. Dry, yet slightly sweet, rather silky, and smooth. There's a palpable, silky, mellow woody feel at the very base. A black floral opaline scent, the smell of feathers and dusty wings, luminous and decadent, and so nicely resinous-almost silvery. The violet is there, although much restrained, just a drop of color. After a while it gets velvety like the night sky, quite unique in its own way and wonderful on my skin.



  15. Hot ginger root, red musk, rooibos tea, and coconut husk.

    Think of a redhead in a fluttering silk kimono, on the hot sands, covered in tropical ginger blossoms, sipping cocktails out of a coconut shell. HAUTEDAMN this is the SOUL OF SUMMER. The va-va sexy red musk is slightly fruity, while the ginger gives it a spicy ZING and the coconut husk/rooibos tea keeps it earthy, woody and dry. Each time I spray it, I get a different note in the foreground and the drydown settles into yummy, slightly oriental goodness. A pretty, tiki tropical geisha. YEP - this is my favorite of all the 2017 DragCon selections. I want my whole summer to smell this way.

  16. Oh, dazzling Zorya moon, how illuminating you are.
    Full of lunar rays, glowing in the neverending darkness with your chilled, silver light.
    When I wear this, I wake up the whole world with me!
    It truly shines too bright and euphoric, but what a glorious, wild shine.
    It is slightly metallic, like the scent of crystals, glass shards and tilted frozen moonflowers under the thin, spring ice.
    A very celestial scent indeed.


  17. SWEET orange-banana bwak-bwak! I remember eating WAY too many circus peanuts as a kid. This takes me back to sticking my nose in the bag and going to town and back with a tummy ache. Banana candy bottle sniff and after application, the tang citrus note amps on me first then blends to become a sugary, childlike dreamsicle scent overall. It's a super fun, giggles and sunshine pretty scent. I could see wearing this to an itty-bitty bikini party in Malibu, you know the kind with the paper umbrella drinks and smooth beats. If only this chicken could magically transport/transform me and my winter chunky-monkey bod. Yep, this would be perfect for wee tiny kids, and it seriously fades fast, 30 minutes tops on me, if that.


  18. My package just arrived, but wanted to share first thoughts before the next release hits. The label makes me grin it's so dang cute! Bottle sniff is pretty much some kind of red fruit jelly, but i'm also getting a little bit of purple grape too. It does have a tiny bit of greasy fried donut in the background. YUMMY Wowza, this is amazing :yum: I'm still kinda looking for the snake oil because it's barely there giving it an exotic rattle, but yah this gives me so much joy and I just want a mountain of warm, oozy donuts now. This makes me HUNGRY ~ Where are my elastic waist pants?


  19. Expansive and bizarre, i'm getting a great big coffee note along with swisher sweets and creamy sundae notes. This smells like sitting in an ice cream parlor, eating a melty sundae while drinking coffee and someone is smoking sweet tobacco outside. It is very exotic and mysterious, all the strange notes meld together and become a magnificent incense blend that is really quite wearable like the darkest, gothic purple smoke cloak. Reminds me of a darker, dirty Dusky Shroud and the only thing the goat note adds is "delicious"


  20. This must be crafted from the finest of components, because it is richly divine. Just after application, the delicious bay rum and opulent amber appear first, with something I can only describe as smelling "charcoal grey" from the oudh that grounds the sweetness. Seductive and addictive, it finishes with a caramelized vanilla sugar cozy smell that warms me all over, like nuzzling with lover by the fireplace. Please have your way with me sexy Shadow.


  21. Unfortunately, this takes me back to the time when I drank WAY too many vodka cranberry orange juice drinks and found myself hurling the night away. There's a twist of an acidic note that keeps this going like the warm, fruity quiff it is. Also, even though I put a tiny dab on, it seemed to expand and grow into a mess of notes and cloying, musky warmth. It's got some serious throw and even after several hours, the tangy mess was still hanging around, making me feel ultimately nauseous. I'm sure this would be glorious, fruity red musk patch on most, but something about it sucker-punched my scent memories in the gut.


  22. What a delight this is. Big, soft droplets of rain while the sun is shining, mist rising up from the ambrosia and CRASHBOOM! Cloudbursting. Really, this absolutely smells like dancing naked in the grass during a hot, rolling storm singing for Heathcliff. As it dries, I am intrigued - it's like smelling poetry. Amazingly balanced and blended, the airy notes go back and forth between the musk, the mist and the sweetness. Sexy, fresh and fairylike enchanting.
