A very dark, fizzy plum! This plum is gorgeous. At first I thought it was going to be too candy-like for me, it really opened with a ginger ale note but on the skin the plum totally takes over and steals the show. Amusingly, I get zero licorice at all! Just a bit of the leather in the background.

So layered and complex I'm having a hard time describing the feeling it gives me! Every time I lean in, I sniff something new. This is one of those amazing scents that takes you on a journey, and each note is there and bringing something to the table. Overall, intense (especially with that blood note!) but woozy. There's a sort of sophistication to it, but also its a bit drunken. The bay rum and magnolia play beautifully together, as well as the osmanthus dancing over those dark vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli notes. Beautiful, a bit sexy, a bit frightening, a bit angry. It makes me feel like a ghost wandering around the streets of new orleans. Very, very Louis.

Butterscotch Bitch
wolf_truffles replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat
The butterscotch hits hard right away and then completely disappears! Turns out to be a very boozy woodsmoke scent with the saffron being surprisingly strong. I wouldn't wear it for the butterscotch, there's really not much sweetness to it at all, but this scent has a really fun vibe. Dark, chewy (?), and flirty -
Sweet and perfumey sage and moss. But there's also something a bit sticky under it all, maybe that's the leather? This has a really strong throw! Dorian loud to me- they could be friends.

It opens very softly, sort of clean and a little sweet and then quite literally blooms in minutes into a very gorgeous clove and incense scent, but with a subtle cool, clean cologne element that lifts it out of being resinous. I never really sniffed something like this before- its super fascinating! I tend to love incense notes for sleep and to have one so clean and soft smelling at the same time is exciting. Can't wait to try it for bed!

If you've ever eaten those expensive sticky licorice chews and said to yourself, "wow, I MUST smell like this..."- this is for you! Unfortunately I am absolutely one of those people and licorice is a guilty pleasure, so I very secretly adore this. It's really just strong, sticky licorice. For a few months there was a slight powdery element, but that's disappeared! (I have also mixed it with chocolate and patchouli...recommend...)

Turned out to be one of my favorites ever! Milky sweetness, sticky caramel deliciousness with a bit of creamy fluffy coconut. Must remember to get another bottle before it disappears

An Introduction to Illustrious Kabuki Actors

I was too curious about fig froth to pass this up, and it didnt disappoint. Fig froth is the fruity star! The other notes wrap it in a sweet, mellow blanket. The fig is very fresh as opposed to dried, and the other notes stop it from being "juicy". -
Sweet and nutty! I'm getting a lot of the marzipan and pistachio. There is a creaminess to it, and a slight clove "buzz".

Incredible in the bottle... the lab marshmallow note is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the chocolate turns to plastic the moment it hits my skin, although the marshmallow doesn't change. I'm going to try to layer it and see what happens.

Imagine: you start a little pot on the stove, making hot chocolate. You heat up the milk, but realize as you stir in the packet of chocolate dust that you added entirely too much milk! Possibly double the recommended amount. It turns a light caramel color, and wafts sweet, milky excellence up into your waiting face. Unfortunately, lost in your milky fantasies, the bottom of the your favorite pot starts to burn, scorching the contents. In a hurry, you pour it into your waiting cup, take a sip, and are surprisingly unbothered by the mishaps that occurred. You realize this might be the best cup of hot chocolate you've ever had... Okay, so that... in scent form. Do I love this? Yes, yes I really do.

Cacao, Sweet Patchouli, Clove, and Green Cardamom
wolf_truffles replied to Seajewel's topic in Lupercalia
Dirty, green patchouli paired with dry clove is not a mix I thought I needed, but it is so good... not a lot of cacao or cardamom, it's reading as a sexy medley of clove patch. -
The vanilla sugar and buttercream really read as 2011 boo! to my nose!! This is not floral to me- but the gardenia is fresh and light and mimics boo!'s linen note. It's literally boo! with a bit of delicate white sandalwood.

Tart, thick strawberry jam! Strawberry note is much stronger than the buttercream and pastry notes, both of which I barely smell at all (that happens to me with nearly every suf I buy). Leans more "artificial" than fresh strawberry, with something in it making it very gooey. I've never had the og strawberry suf, but I have had the raspberry suf and it's very similar in that the throw is CRAZY. I love it!

Caramelized Pecan Rum Cake
wolf_truffles replied to Silvertree's topic in Gifts with Donation or Purchase
Strong alcohol/rum in this! But the caramelized pecan is delicious. Very true to description!
