Confection

I cannot tell the difference between this scent and Dove's Heart. It seems like there is a lot of repetition in what the Lab's been putting out lately.

As the Russians would say, "foo!"

 

When I put this on there is something really strong and brash about it, and not in a good way. After dry-down it smells like something a Soviet woman from the 1970s would wear.

 

I guess there is nothing about the city or the scent that suits me!

I want to agree with Andrabell who says it smells like cherry cough syrup (which it does a little) and everyone who says it smells like bubblegum. I also think there is a hint of strawberry twizzlers in there too.

I love this scent--I love food smells--but to me it smells like a more juvenile version of Bordello. So if you like Bordello you will like this one, because they are very similar.

Voila: You read my mind!

 

I LOVE the sweet stuff and I love smelling like candy. Personal favorites include: Persephone, Vice and June Gloom.

 

Count me in for "jail bait"!

Well, damn. I started talking about the process last fall with Beth, then hesitated sending in my cheque (reasoning that Planned Parenthood could use the cash) and now that I have sent the money in I'm afraid it's too late!

 

I guess the other scents will tide me over...

 

Let this be a lesson to all: don't procrastinate!

I thought that Bordello and Persephone were similar until I put one on each wrist to compare and it seems that Persephone is rosier and Bordello has a creamy/vanilla undertone. I love them both, though!

 

Did anyone notice that there is something really similar between O and Samhain? It's like O is Samhain without the cidery apple scent.

 

Maybe it's just me!

I liked Ingenue. It's very "clean" smelling with green, fresh undertones.

 

Why can't I find a description of it anywhere? Is it new?

March Hare about knocked me over.

This scent is way too strong and it ended up smelling like an apple-cinnamon candle on me. It definately has staying power but might best be used as a room scent!

This scent surprisingly had a tobacco-y dry down on my which made me not like it as much as when I first put it on. Did anyone else have this experience?

My nose may be totally off, but on me this smells like vanilla, violet, jasmine and honey.

 

This is a sweet, feminine scent--perfect for a summer night!

 

Whoops! Sorry Sierona--I reported you instead of replying!

An older man in my office just walked by and said "something smells good" and that "Something" is me today because I'm wearing VICE.

 

AS my namesake implies, I love sweet things and this oil is very sweet. When I first put it on I notice the cocoa and orange blossom. After an hour or so it dries down to a honey vanilla. It is very strong right out of the bottle, though.

 

Ladies, men like women who smell like baked goods. I think this one is a keeper.

Does anyone know if this scent has been discontinued?

 

My review: love it!

 

[edited to add: the above posts were of the original hellfire, which was discontinued before this forum existed. it was reformulated and returned a few months later ~qs]

Add me to the Lady MacBeth fan club! My man *loves* this cherry/berry scent. Those who are wary of fruity or food smelling oils should probably steer clear of this one--it is very fruity.

 

I like to pair Lady MacBeth with Haunted--the results are a complex, spicy and cherry smell. I also put some on top of Velvet. Does anyone else use Lady MacBeth to mellow out other scents?

I would advise everyone to order a sample of this scent before buying a bigger bottle. I, too, was impressed by the reviews, but when I tried it myself it smelled like an old man's aftershave.

 

Everyone's chemistry is different! Try before you buy!
