Lunameth Report post Posted February 10, 2015 I have just tested Eclipse and was very excited when the first whiff of the imp was mmmmm cherry bakewell (although more like a liqueur!). One of my favourite cakes and two of my favourite food scents (I am not good with food scents normally, things like Miskatonic University, Eat Me/Drink Me, etc, go very heavy on me and it's too much). Eclipse dries down to a beautiful creamy vanilla floral blend on me and it's definitely bottle-worthy, BUT! It does not keep the initial cherry and almond scent that I got so excited about. Does anyone have any recommendations for something that keeps that yummy 'flavour'? Or maybe good layering ideas? Thank you! Share this post Link to post
kajacana Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Hellcat is "hazelnut, buttercream, honey mead, rum and sweet almond" -- for me (and, glancing at the review thread, it seems like for many people), that almond note reads as cherry. In my case, the cherry fades on my skin, but others have had different results, so you might want to give it a try!For a less dessert-like option, maybe Kabuki? "cherry, red musk, and star anise."

Lunameth Report post Posted February 12, 2015 Thank you! I think they are both on my wishlist so I'll have to make sure I order imps next time Share this post Link to post
Erinofhere Report post Posted February 12, 2015 how about Black Cherry Amaretto Christmas Pudding? http://www.bpal.org/topic/75684-black-cherry-amaretto-christmas-puddin/ I just got a decant of this. It's cherry/vanilla heavy with the Amaretto being more almondish than boozy. It's nice. I know some reviews are saying it smells of medicine and it does sort of when it's wet. But when it's dry it's really pretty and yummy. Share this post Link to post
Lunameth Report post Posted February 12, 2015 Oooh thank you, I'll have a search for it and see if anyone will be able to ship one to me Share this post Link to post
alterosen Report post Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) How about Suck it (black cherry brandy, Weenie 2009) & its companion scent, Bite Me (croquembouche with almond silk & a drizzle of caramel)? I know you said foodie doesn't work for you but Bite Me was all boozy almond on me rather than cream puff or caramel. Put them on your wishlist just in case Edited February 14, 2015 by alterosen Share this post Link to post
sprout Report post Posted February 14, 2015 Black phoenix the general catalog oil may be what you're looking for and bonus, you can try as an imp because it's permanent! Share this post Link to post
Larinessa Report post Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Ghoulish (2010 Halloween scent). Black Cherry, Coconut Amaretto and Saffron. Very cherry almond. It ends up being very strong on application. But softens considerably after a bit. Edited February 15, 2015 by Larinessa Share this post Link to post
