This is pretty sexy, but turns very quickly into super-heavy perfume of doom on me (despite the fact that I only put one teeny tiny drop on my hand). This could be wonderful on the right person though! It really does evoke an old-timey gangster moll's perfume.
-
Interesting--and totally unlike the Lamia prototype! It's a "thick" scent. Creamy base like Albedo v5 has but no citrus like Albedo. It does have a coconutty note to it. I don't pick up peach or vetiver.
-
It smells like the pickled peppercini I sometimes eat
-
Mmm, this is a fantastic clove scent with a touch of wine. It's sexy and perfect for the bedroom. And it actually helps me sleep. I love cloves and the smell of clove cigarettes and this is really it.
-
Exactly like Midnight Mass on me
-
Sad! I was hoping for the lemon/lemongrass of The Vortex, Tarot: The Star, or Albedo v5. Instead I got a very chemically scent with little lemon or lemongrass at all. It was like an industrial cleaner or something.
-
It was the cake note from Left His Nurse While in a Crowd and cucumber on me. No lovely Earl Grey, no tasty cake. (The cake from Left His Nurse was bad on me, like dry stale chocolate storebought cake. This was like that but with a weird cucumber overtone.) This actually made me a bit nauseous
-
Like others noted, this was men's cologne on me
-
Not like I'm saying much that hasn't already been said, but ... cinnamon and floral (dragon's blood, most likely). I saw a description somewhere of "Wrath lite--cinnamon and creamy floral" and I totally agree.

Sex in a bottle. Fabulously moisturizing and smells of aged Snake Oil. However, my husband smelled cedar predominantly on me, so it may amp of certain notes/smell different to others. I would love to roll in this, please.
-
O is terrible on me but this is super-sexy. It's sweet and light honey. It actually smells exactly like Demeter's Honey perfume on me but with much better lasting power. If you can't wear O, try this!
-
This is the scent where XCDL13 and Stimulating Sassafras Strengthener had a baby. However, it doesn't last nearly as long as either of those do on me. It's sad because it's a beautiful scent. Oh well, I'll just have to reapply!
-
Yep, the champagne note from the Champagne and ... blends.
-
This smells a lot like something I have smelled before and just can't put my finger on! It's not strawberry on me at all, nor does it come across very pink. It's more peach-like than anything. The best I can think is that it's like Josie without magnolia. I figured it out: It smells a *lot* like Pediophobia!
-
Super-interesting--very lemony, citrusy. Dries down kind of like you washed your hands with lemon-scented soap, though.
-
Sadness. I wanted to like this so much. When I put it on, I can really smell the smoky sweetness of the vanilla but the lilac is overpowering. It's one of those weird scents where I don't like it, but I can't stop sniffing it. If this had been just the smoky vanilla with a lot less lilac, it would have been fantastic!
-
At first I was super-excited about this one. I love anise and licorice and hoped this would be similar to Humbug. I think the florals screwed this one up for me, though. I put it on and the licorice was prominent--yay!--than all of the sudden, the florals amped up, drowned out the licorice, and it was floral doom
-
Huh. I get flowers growing in compost with the slightest tinge of manure. Seriously. Gardenias with a hint of manure underneath. Weird.
-
Wine and vetiver. And then it's gone within a minute?! No lasting power.
-
Whooooo ... it's the booze from Imp of the Perverse tempered with chocolate!

White Chocolate, Black Raspberry, and Apricot Cordial Truffle
Ondine replied to thekittenkat's topic in Lupercalia
Basically this just smelled like a fruit-scented plastic doll from the 80s on me ... I used to have these dolls called Charmkins and this smells like one of those. It's gone from my skin in about 30 seconds, too! -
No chocolate. I smell the lime note from Scurvy, like others have said. It's nice ... and then the scent is gone! So it's just like Scurvy on me with about 50% less lasting power
-
Not exactly like, but in a very close family to, LUSH's American Cream (which has benzoin and vanilla in it). This would make a nice layering note with American Cream.

White Chocolate, Strawberry, and White Pepper Truffle
Ondine replied to thekittenkat's topic in Lupercalia
I guess I have an unsophisticated nose because it smells just like last year's White Chocolate and Strawberry on me (which I love). I'm not picking up the pepper at all. -
Milk Chocolate and Matcha Green Tea Ganache Truffle
Ondine replied to TheIceMaiden's topic in Lupercalia
All this smells like to me is the cubeb (lemony) note from Crib Girls. No tea, no matcha, no chocolate. It's pretty, but it's also a dead ringer for Crib Girls on my skin.
