lamenteuse

When I tried this on at Seattle Will Call, all I got was apple. Crisp, just sliced into apple. No florals, no musks, no vanillas. I'm hoping that the bottle I purchase from the lab will be the same because this is a perfect, completely pure, apple on me.

So I know I'll be picking up Halloween: Las Vegas and #occupywallstreet (not technically a weenie), but for a weenie weenie, I am stuck between Sonnet d'Autumne or The Changeling, both which I think will be big hits. Dead leaves on one side and pumpkin vanilla on the other.

bumping this for my current need for woodsmoke.

I just want that woodsmoke smell! Death of Autumn is the closest for me right now, and I find October to be closer to a men's cologne then smoke. Anymore ideas?

I love this anime! When my husband and I were in Japan, we picked up ever blind box of Hetalia we could find, and we got a chibi Great Britain!

 

And I would totally say Dorian, too.

Celeste (Luper): a light, slightly floral vanilla that just makes you want to purr when you wear it.

The Soldier (Yule): Red musk and pie!

icarus suraki:

For you, I'd suggest Zombi for the non-girly scent AND for the pleasure of telling people you're wearing a perfume called Zombi. Additionally you should check out Dorian. It's a bit sweet, but has a nice masculine sweetness that would surprise you. Plus, the gothic literary reference would just be a bonus!

Floria, you now have a whole RPG scent to pick from! But outside of that, I would go with Delphi. The incense will give you that hippy edge, with the honey wine bringing out a sweet, girlish side. Bonus: Delphi for the history nerds (unite!), and I bet sitting around Apollo's magic fumes would at least warm you up a bit.

A Mutter wedding sounds so wicked awesome! Will the ceremony be upstairs or down?

 

We're having the ceremony on the stairs, the cocktail hour in the museum, then the dinner upstairs in the lecture rooms. That sounds kind of crazy....Maybe I'm going to need to hide the bottle in my bouquet so I can reapply when needed.

I'll be wearing U for my wedding. We're getting married at the Mutter Museum, and I picked up a bottle the day we met with the events guy.

I kind of lucked out having my wedding at a place with it's own scent..

Maybe try getting some Halloween New Orleans (The distinctive scent of the Mississippi at night mingling with sweet olive and Spanish moss).

I find the scent sweet, fresh, with some light green notes.

In the bottle: Heavy lemon with a sweet cereal scent in the back.
On the skin: The grains/cereal scent comes out strong, but there's still that greenish lemon scent over it all. After it dries a bit, there's a good dose of sweetness and black tea, but the lemon scent is still really really strong. It's not a heavy scent, it's very light and pleasant.

I wore this scent last night and it really stayed strong. Most light scents disappear after a few hours, but this one clung to skin like a soft, lemon scent blanket. It'll be a great scent in the spring/summer, but for winter, it's much too citrusy.

in the bottle: Sweet creamy spiced tea

On the skin: Fresh ginger with a heavy layer of cream. Not much clove, but a lot of sweetness.

 

I'd prefer if this was heavier with the cream and honey, but it' a good scent. I bet it will be amazing in warm, humid weather. Actually, I can see myself getting a backup bottle of this...

In the bottle: Fresh chooped gingered covered in herb and spice

On the skin: the scent of dry ginger spice with something else behind it. Mace, pepper, and clove

Dry: Like unsweetened gingerbread. Thick, hot, and spicy, but no sugar.

 

LOVE IT!

Oh, I love this soap. it's warm and cozy, without any of the cinnamon burn I was expecting (my skin is randomly sensitive to cinnamon). The scent didn't last much beyond the shower, but it was a pleasant, happy experience. Literally, like throwing a bunch of gingerbread men in your tub while you shower. I find the actual gingerbread poppet oil a little bit stronger, but since I want to be able to put oils on after the shower without my toiletry interfering with my scents, I'm rather glad this doesn't last.
Worth at least buying a bar, and for myself, I think I'll have to pick up one or two extra to get my through this chilly winter.

A happy scent that reminds me of the warm kitcheny scents of winter.

In the bottle and on the skin it smells like a candle one buys from the Christmas Tree Shops. I want to write more for a review, but I can't say much about this scent besides NOT FOR SKIN. I can imagine this for a room scent.

It smells like cookies! No, really, just like cookies. Not too sweet, with enough dark chocolate and a wee bit of dried fruit. Like a kitchen the day after you bake cookies, and all the warm flour scent has gone away, but that sweet cookie smell still lingers in the air.

Oh! I'm first! I hope I do this oil justice.

In the bottle: Reminds me a bit of the notes from the 13 series. Sweet, milk chocolate and light spices. Warm and pleasant
On the skin: it's like wearing a milk chocolate sweater of happiness!
A few hours later: Let's pretend you're making pfeffernüsse cookies. You've just taking out all the spices for it, and you've got a craving for hot chocolate. So you whip up a batch, going all out with real chocolate and real milk. Just as you go to pour the cocoa into a mug, your hand slips, spilling cocoa all over your spices and your brand new wood chopping block. Now, lean over and give it a sniff. THAT'S what Ein Kuss Von Krampus smells like.

FInal thoughts: Love it! I bought it the day it went live on the Dark Delicacies site and I might have to buy another bottle. I used it in a scent locket yesterday and kept getting wonderful whiffs of chocolate, pepper, and light woodsy spices.

I use Dorian in my burner. It doesn't work on my skin, but heated up and floating around the room, it's divine.

For me, the best way to describe it is this: Mutter U + Elephantine Colossus + a dash of Snake Oil = The Soldier. I LOVE all those scents, so this is like a magical moshpit of happiness on me.

The pie notes keep it foodie close to the skin, while the red musk has a nice throw that keeps it from being too sticky smelling. The leather and black pepper come out fast and sharp, but end up nicely playing in the background with a splash of cream.

Can't see your picture, lamenteuse.

 

 

http://twitpic.com/39vbvl Sorry about that! That's the link. I can see it on the page, not sure what's up with that.....

While there is that hint of sweetness that everyone mentioned, on me is a really dark, almost anise seed, musk scent. It pretty much stays like this for a while, not allowing anything else to really come to the top.

 

However, a quick experiment with it on cloth proved to work a lot better. While the heavy musk scent is still there, the sweetness pops up as does this great root beer scent at the end. Needs a scent locket!

I wasn't planning on picking this one up at NYCC, but my boyfriend smelt it and decided that I needed it. Good choice!

 

It's the smell of wood burning fires and fallen leaves. Like a little cousin to my most favorite sent: Death of Autumn. It's a more gentle scent, softer and much less smoke. Completely wonderful, and now with the chilly weather, it really works well.

This smells just like bubble gum. That weird candy sweetness, and the hint of the powdered sugar they roll the sticks in prior to wrapping. It is the most literal scent I've ever had from BPAL.

Ginger, spice, and a bit of orange. Like a really amazing ginger scone.
