doomsday_disco Report post Posted August 21 Flapjacks drowning in an intoxicating blend containing wormwood essence, light mints, cardamom, anise, hyssop, and the barest hint of lemon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claire-of-the-Valley Report post Posted October 24 This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping it would be! I can just make out the flapjacks in the bottle, but when I'm wearing it, it's primarily all the rest. Sweet, light, a touch minty without any actual menthol, and herbal without being overwhelmingly so. As it dries, there's a little more flapjack peeking through. It sticks close to the skin, so no real throw. I'm a big fan, and I'm sure I'll be wearing this a lot for the rest of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elspethdixon Report post Posted 11 hours ago In the imp/wet this is mostly pancakes (I swear they’re distinctly and specifically buckwheat pancakes) with an almost fruity absinthe note. Once on my skin, the fruitiness vanishes and it’s flapjacks surrounded by a cool haze of absinthe - the anise is light and cool rather than a strong licorice note (and without the “eau du nail salon” effect I got from Carnival Diabolique’s L’heur Vert), and there’s just enough mint for it to be cool and tingly in my nose but not enough mint for it to tingle/burn on my skin. No lemon at all, thankfully (lemon notes usually turn into lemon pledge floor cleaner on me). This is a light scent, but one with serious throw - at least six inches out from my wrist. It’s like being surrounded by a cool, fresh cloud. After about three-four hours it fades down to a powdery vanilla skin scent that’s not very pancake-like at all, but still pleasant. I added this decant to my order on a whim, but it may end up being my main favorite from this release. Cool, minty scents usually tingle/burn my skin, so a cool and minty scent I can wear this easily is a special treat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
