doomsday_disco Report post Posted August 21 A decadent, daintily debauched, and delightfully improper dragon, Flame-of-Burnt-Brandies love scandal and sparkle and whispers of delicious nonsense. They make their homes in séance parlours, stately manors, and abandoned ballrooms, and their scales flicker like flame on a holiday pudding: lavender, lilac, and lemon peel curling over brandy-soaked honeyed fig and sugared plums.

tajana Report post Posted September 14 Smells like a fancy mocktail from a fancy bar that carefully restored and reconstructed historical fixtures when it renovated its Victorian-era building to bring it up to code for the modern day. So this does smell quite a bit like a brandy/cognac cocktail to my nose, but non-alcoholic. Warm, smooth, autumnal liquor.. woody-nutty undertones, reminiscent of dried fruits, tobacco, and earthy soft spice. A mixed drink with plenty zhuzhing it up... some lift from lemon peel, twisted over the glass to express the refreshing citrus oils. Lavender and lilac are present in a way that makes me think of floral-herbal syrups and cordials rather than fresh cut flowers. There is quite a lot of dried fig, but I have to work hard to pick out plum... it's more like it is in the background to make things more purple. I can envision a glowing golden-brown cocktail that used butterfly pea flower infusions to create a pretty purple gradient towards the bottom of the coupe glass. After it wears for a while in my hair, the main notes I can smell are brandy, fig, and lavender. This smells very festive, like an autumn/winter scent to me, especially Thanksgiving and Yuletide. Flame-of-Burnt-Brandy Dragon feels like a perfect pairing for winter holidays, but I will reach for this all throughout the cooler months when I want to indulge in a particularly fun hair gloss. I think the official description is a great indicator of the vibe of this particular dragon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
