An Introduction to Illustrious Kabuki Actors
wolf_truffles replied to Seajewel's topic in Lupercalia
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! -
Blueberry Banana Cream Pie
wolf_truffles replied to Silvertree's topic in Gifts with Donation or Purchase
Banana cream pie but the blueberries make it a little tart and fruity. Realistic! Like with banana pancakes, the banana doesn't last super long, leaving a blueberry pie to settle instead. Love it! -
Chocolate, Cinnamon Bark, and Chipotle Honey
wolf_truffles replied to Silvertree's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I'm so fascinated with spicy scents, especially after I found my fav scent caramel/smoked chilis/black vanilla. This is very different, cinnamon bark in this is masculine and dry. The honey is dark and gooey, closer to treacle, and definitely spicy!! It does something to my nose that I can't describe (not helpful I know). Chocolate blends everything together, but it's not a gourmand chocolate. Maybe a dark chocolate? -
It's bananas foster! In a bottle! The banana is so strong at first, but then mellows into a nutty (spicy??) banana dessert with plenty of ice cream. Not getting any maple syrup.
-
I'm actually getting more lavender than the other folks here. Candy sweet sugar plum with a strong lavender! They work well together, but barely. It's not poofy and I'm not getting any marshmallow.
-
The coconut and hazelnut have morphed into a snowy hazelnut, which is the strongest note. The cocoa is very powdery. Actually this whole scent is! But not "powder" as in baby powder, but literally if you open a tin of powdered hot chocolate. Then imagine adding a sort of white powdered hazelnut to it. That's the scent!
-
Snake milk's sister! A sweet snake oil pastry, but no "bready" notes. I get a slightly milky dessert with powdered sugar.
-
I have awful luck with popcorn notes but I wanted an imp of this just to see. This popcorn stays actual popcorn for nearly an hour before turning into the plastic I'm used to! I think the cotton candy and soda helped it last, and it's very delicious and realistic. Not getting anything specifically caramel. The popcorn hour might be delicious enough to upgrade to a bottle!
-
A blast of chocolate and rose which is INCREDIBLE but lasts maybe 5 minutes total until this scent becomes solely a pink rose-colored sandalwood. Low throw, but nice if you are a fan of a delicate sandalwood
-
Mine is amping the sweet and not as patchouli forward as the first comments, but I bought from after it restocked! A light, sweet patchouli absolutely drowning in ice cream and squirts of honeysuckle nectar. I'm not a floral person at all but thought maybe with patchouli and gourmand notes that usually love me I'd be safe- I was right! More than safe, it's a scent I want to keep going back to my arm to sniff. I do have to say it's strong and loud and slightly perfumey but the ice cream helps it not go into headache floral territory. Not getting much of the other notes, and it seems I'm the only one getting such strong ice cream. No complaints! Ice cream patchouli is something I'd love more of..

Caramel apple is front and center mixed beautifully with espresso. Coffee is strong at first on the skin but the apple quickly takes over. It really does smell like a certain drink at a certain store (s-bucks), although not as spiced as I assumed it would be. Wouldn't have minded a little more creaminess to settle the apple but this is a scent one could blend easily.
-
The muffin note is strongest for those that loved baked goods as scents. This pumpkin has a little spice to it. I think I get chocolate the least in this blend. The muffin note is the star!
-
Rich chocolate mousse, lots and lots of bavarian cream and a bit of crunchy, sticky praline. Basically just as described! Although it's way more creamy than cakey to me! Makes me want to try and bake this someday..
-
This smells a little unsettling but also very nice and sweet. Hard rock sugar candies, with a sort of sinister undertone. Like rock sugar candy for a ghost! I really like it and haven't smelled this candy note before.
-
Oh, this is amazing! The spiced bourbon apples are in the realm of an apple cider but much deeper, a little boozy (not overly) and with a rich pumpkin pie type note. Candy corn floats up delicately and isn't overwhelming. I'd say there's likely cinnamon in this for those that avoid. Spiced apples with spiced pumpkin is one of the best fall combos I've tried... but that shouldn't be a surprise should it?
-
Very fresh, crisp red apples with some of the Blood Kiss spice in the background. Actually a bit more apple-forward than I thought, but I like it! Bright and long lasting.

Another realistic gourmand from this collection. How can I even describe froyo? It's not sour but also doesn't just smell like cream or milk? Sweet, creamy, summery and the gummy bears smell a bit fruity like a healthier version of gummy bears. Honestly smells just like sticking my face in my froyo cup? Really pleased with this..
-
Literally a box of glazed donuts. I can't believe how realistic it is! Chocolate glaze, sticky soft donut, dusting of powdered sugar.. I actually hardly smell any maple at all. Might just be adding to the syrupy glaze element? Love this one!
