Wren12 Report post Posted January 8, 2013 Theyve probably been mentioned but Hollywood Babylon and Kabuki are both nice scents with a forefront of sweet cherry with an undercurrent on incense. I love them both. Share this post Link to post
Ella LaRose Report post Posted January 8, 2013 I just tried agape, at first it is sour fruits on me but the sweet honey incense after is awesome! and it layers well with leather scents!! also, a new favorite is hanerot halalu:)))) holy crap! it is awesome!! Share this post Link to post
Floria Report post Posted January 11, 2013 If you like myrrh, and sweet resins in general, maybe you'd want to try Chimera (cinnamon, myrrh, honeysuckle, and copal). If it isn't complex or incensy enough for you (despite the ingredients, it reminds me of European cookies), you might try it for layering. Share this post Link to post
peacocks Report post Posted October 4, 2013 so.. any new recommendations? especially from the limited editions that are out now? Share this post Link to post
Invidiana Report post Posted October 4, 2013 so.. any new recommendations? especially from the limited editions that are out now? All Souls'! The minging of incense and cake is positively addictive. Dia De Los Muertos is more on the floral side, but in the sense that the flowers are resting on a cloud of sweet incense. Share this post Link to post
lookingglass Report post Posted October 4, 2013 The Other Miss Forcible! Share this post Link to post
stellamaris Report post Posted October 6, 2013 Yes...The Other Miss Forcible, so winning, also Day of Skulls, totally sugar incense. Share this post Link to post
lookingglass Report post Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) So Below sounds like it should be added to the list, though I haven't tried it. Has Vixen been mentioned? It has now! Edited November 12, 2013 by lookingglass Share this post Link to post
Corvus Corax Report post Posted November 12, 2013 I love sugared incense! I recommend Temple Viper and Midnight on the Midway. I would love to find a darker Temple Viper. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post
Mellifluous Report post Posted November 12, 2013 so.. any new recommendations? especially from the limited editions that are out now? Definitely agree with 'All Souls'. It is a perfect mix of incense and cake. Not too foodie, and not too sharp. Just seriously perfect. I ordered 2 bottles myself, and have a swap out for an additional years version Share this post Link to post
lookingglass Report post Posted April 17, 2015 Hell's Belle! Sweet, smoky and sensually wicked. A thick, steamy scent, truly sinister in its voluptuous sexuality. The perfume of a demon's favored consort, or of the devil herself. Oleander with wet, sweet mandarin, lush magnolia, a rush of deep musk and a touch of spice. Share this post Link to post
sprout Report post Posted April 17, 2015 The Caterpillar needs to be mentioned. Share this post Link to post
stellamaris Report post Posted April 18, 2015 I love love love The Caterpillar, but on me it's super floral. Share this post Link to post
alterosen Report post Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Black Taffeta - it takes a while to sweeten up but it's rather nice once dry. Edited April 18, 2015 by alterosen Share this post Link to post
Aviatrix Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Has anyone mentioned Loi Krathong yet? To my nose it is in the same family as Midnight on the Midway, only it is a distinctly tropical sugared incense with a background of banana and coconut. Share this post Link to post
sprout Report post Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Okay, King Cobra is the snake slithering with glorious frankincense. While not sugared per set, the snake oil sweetens it right up. Another suggestion is Jacobs Ladder. Maybe frankincense just goes very sweet on me, but this one is very sweet incense. One final parting suggestion. All you sugar lovers should stock up on Clive Barker Sweets to the Sweet. You can sugar up any scent you like by layering it with this. Its damn near perfect!

Isper Report post Posted April 20, 2015 Xiuhtecuhtli is something to try if you like sweet incense. It is described as: Patron of the Aztec pantheon, he is the personification of light within darkness, warmth in the cold, and life in, and after, death. He is a creative and destructive God of Fire and Light, and is appeased only by sacrifice, trial, and the slaughter of his people’s enemies. Copal, plumeria and sweet orange and the smoke of South American incense and crushed jungle blooms. Share this post Link to post
Ashmedai Report post Posted April 26, 2015 About Midnight from the current Plagues of Egypt fits the bill for me. From start to finish, it's a sweet, sweet incense on my skin, that smells almost exactly like the great scent that wafts out when I open a box of Japanese incense. From reviews I gather it's very different depending on skin chemistry, but for me it's glorious and the best "sweet incense" blend I've tried, next to Loi Krathong, which I'd also rec.

vanilla323 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 A Stroll Through the Quarter is an amazing banana incense scent on me. I love it! Definitely the foodie lovers sweet incense scent! Share this post Link to post
ziggystardust13 Report post Posted September 16, 2015 Adding a rec for Midnight on the Midway! Once it dries it smells just like sweet nag champa incense Share this post Link to post
claudia6913 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 Adding a rec for Midnight on the Midway! Once it dries it smells just like sweet nag champa incense Oh wow, I don't get that at all! Mine is mostly blue musk, bit of sweetness and some florals. Always amazing how something smells so different to other people. Share this post Link to post
ziggystardust13 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 Yep! When I first tried it I got all ivory soap. That was as soon as I took it out of the mailbox! After a few days, all the incense started coming out. I'm hoping it comes out even more as it ages. I definitely prefer the dry stage to the wet stage. Im not too familiar with blue musk - maybe that was the soapy scent mixed with some of the florals? idk! Share this post Link to post
Aviatrix Report post Posted September 17, 2015 I think A Stroll Through the Quarter has a good sugared incense feel as well! Plus banana. The Dorian adds just a bit of sweetness to the incense, which in itself is beautiful too. Would definitely recommend it here. Share this post Link to post
xeia Report post Posted September 18, 2015 I don't know how the Scalia, Mystical Aphorisms of the Fortune Cookie, compares to the list above, but fortune cookie incense... nice. Reviews look like folks are getting cherry/almond and vanilla, but that the drydown is primarily incense sweetened by those. I think I slightly prefer sweet incenses (is that the plural form?) to be sweetly floral (a la Hymn) rather than foody, though. Share this post Link to post
