smells like the ABC store in hawaii. Standing next to the fridge, cool air breezes in, smells of coconut and the mish mash of hawaiian scented products. Dries down to something more fruity, I think the pom is coming out. This is bringing out those sentimental feelings of all my hawaiian vacations rolled into one!
-
horror. Smells like feet. Then a bit of berries. Then old lady perfume. The spoiled berries. There is definitely a funky quality to it with deep berry undertones. It smells terrible and I need to wash it off. Like 5 minutes ago. Horrid.
-
egg nog, for those who the other egg nog/egg nog latte may not have worked?? there is a slight goat milk note to it and this one stays more like a true foodie scent that is egg nog and spices. nice but for me i like egg nog latte better. egg nog by itself always turned on my skin and had more of a boozy note...i rank this one above the original egg nog scents.

Heavy drifts of snow blanketing winter's narcissus. like some other bpal…almost pine or eucalyptus but not minty. Very familiar. I didn't realize that this was narcissus. There is a minty sweet undertone. As it dries something sharper and nasal clearing comes out. this is a wild scent!
-
a blast of foodie nuts and quickly turns resinous and black. Kinda of bitter with nuts underneath. Bitter sweet black nuts. Weird. Dries down and gets positively horrid on me. Almost like a rotting purple fruit undertone with the dirty part of patchouli. This one needed washed off.
-
a pretty floral scent…reminds me of a scented glade or something commercial. Air freshner? Not exactly unique….familiar in a not so great way.
-
pastries!!! Frosting and glaze and a little bit of soft cherries like juice. Tinge of nuts that reads as spice. Like this so far. Hmmm the apricots are coming out and they are pretty dense and cloying. This might be going someplace undesirable. After it dries the apricots totally dominate the scent...like rehydrated thick, pasty, chewy apricots and the slight funky undertone of apricots as well. I really loved the first blasts of this scent so much!
-
does not smell bright like I thought it would. It's complex, kind of dusty powder. Orangey notes but not like the fruit. I kind of don't like this! WTF? Its like taking orange baby aspirin and crushing it up and mixing it with old lady perfume. I think the frankincense is the undertone of odd that i'm detecting on my skin. The super dry down is a bright, weird greenish scent that is altogether not unpleasant.
-
foodie wet but then starts to really amp the caramel note. I could smell a brash of honey when I first put it on but it went under…didn't come out and amp…yet. The musk is definitely coming out on dry down to make it musky caramel. It turned from a foodie love to an icky scent on dry down adn super dry down...don't know which note is the problem or if it's a combination of the notes that is making this funky on my skin. Shoot!
-
a bright pine to start, then a deeper pine needle sap. Resinous and pleasant but drying down bitter. Really bitter...Not a wearable scent for me.
-
scented toilet paper to start. It's actually getting stronger and worse. This is almost in the wash it off range. Like scented toilet paper from way back in the day when it was too cloying and nasty. This is not a pleasant scent on my skin....WHY OH WHY???
-
I guess it smells like port jelly…but there is something medicinal or icky. Reminds me of those little silver japanese breath mints that look like mini non pareils. ?????? I detect an undertone of mint. An odd fruity…red jello slightly damp kinda of smell. Not unpleasant but not a perfume i don't think.
-
very foodie almost cordial almond cookie dough. Thought it was a bit of egg nog to start but now I smell a dough or batter. Thought I'd love it more. Decent, not OMGLUV.
-
Hmm... I'm not reading mint at all. I get a green stem...maybe slightly herby soap scent. Smells soapy and clean...like an ozone scent. Ozone...that's it. Clean air, green perfume...pleasant but probably not something I'd necessarily reach for? Since it smells cold and wintery, this could be a cool scent to wear in the dead of summer!
-
This is a very pretty scent! Reminds me of green stems and a slight hint of mint...a floral snow scent. Also reminds me of snow white before snow white turns kinda funky on me. This is a lovely scent that reminds me of a beautiful winter night...not sure I'd reach for it but probably a love scent if you are looking for something in the green stem/cucumber peel arena.

This smells like artificial, super strong strawberry syrup, but in a good authentic kind of way???? It actually reminds me of a particular japanese candy that i can't quite put my finger on right now. It's very bright, tart and something that a young girl could wear as well. I think this would layer well with the chocolate box scents or maybe even a cakey scent or something that you wanted to change up and brighten? I personally can't wear this by itself since it's OMG strawberry on my skin. But this is a different strawberry than either of the Moon scents or the strawberry that appeared in the chocolate box. Not bad but not me. -
Monsieur Petitbled's Frivolous Wheeled Footwear
FandF replied to sfsassy's topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
complex red scent. Smells like red musk to me evern though there isn't any in there. The patchouli smells like the patchouli in Lush's Tramp shower gel which is earthy and green, not head shoppy. Definitely a light leather or smoky undertone…I read red musk where it's actually fruit notes. like a thick paste of jammy fruits....very complex and intriguing but not for me. TD..kogi...this one is for you guys!!! -
I love this wet. I get all ginger and it's very spicy and creamy and I want to slather it on. Which I did several times! I smell the ginger ale or cola fizziness as well...it's very creamy cola though and it reminds me of one of the Atomic series scents. It's awesome! The dry down is much like teenage cannibal but without the lighter candy element. Like a distant cousin that is much more sophisticated. there is no firey burnt note or smokey note to me. on super dry down i get that wild ginger scent. i prefer all the previous stages the best but i like this blend a lot!
-
Reviewed by a self proclaimed foodie who is reviewing only because she was decanting it: UGH. I also don't think I like amber. It's very warm smelling...but this blend is too strong for me. It's knocking me over. It smells like really old perfume that has evaporated, crusted down on the bottle. Yikes! I will leave this to the amber lovers to better sort out this scent...I'm going to be no help on this one for sure!!!
-
this couldn't be more spot on incensy anise scent….not a churchy kind of incense …there is no sweetness or pipe smoke element. But a deep spicy smelling licorice scent with dry notes of coconut meat. Licorice and coconut in the earthy kind of way. I don't know what bay rum smells like but it must be the grounding note to keep it earthy and sexy but not astringent at all. this is a mellow scent. i'm also surprised I like this too...i've wanted other anise/licorice scents to smell like this....wearable but still interesting! I'm not picking up any cream notes wet or from the bottle...mine smells very much like intense licorice wet.
-
peppermint blast in the bottle! considering I was smelling this blind without the notes, this was a surprise!! On the skin, definitely the mint is underground. I get the most pleasant wet wood smell with just enough sweetness…all the complexity of the bitter notes of the anise etc in there. This is a beautiful blend! I can't quite describe it...i was worried the wormwood would be too earth or dirty and it's not. i'm a foodie girl! the green tea is not prominent or detectable to me. and i was scared the smoke fluid or lubricant would be just that...tinny or metallic smelling and while you can tell it might be there on dry down, it's needed to keep the scent in check. this is surprisingly lovely....warm, sweet, complex...extremely wearable! i'm shocked!
-
This is an unusual scent but lovely! In the bottle is a lovely wet cucumber mixed with either tonka or teak. It's kind of what I wanted Squirting Cucumber to be since it's more complex. Fresh, light green, bright....like watery celery but a hint of spices or something to make it interesting. It's a great scent to spill all over yourself and it smells clean yet interesting..the cucumber goes away on the skin and the supporting woody notes come out..reminds me of one of the original shungas. Very wearable and pretty. The DH really liked this on me. It reminds me of a japanese onsen bath with the typical japanese bath salt smells with heightened wet cypress.
-
coconut and tobacco blast…definitely weird resinous scent. Smells like dirt with the lab's tobacco scent. It's pretty strong. Lots of dirt...almost manly...maybe a bit sinister?? I thought this would not be so pencil shavings but that's what i read...with a bit of dusty cocoa powder. This will definitely work on some people who can pull off the deeper more complex scents....but not me unfortunately. On super dry down....almost bordering on BO and definitely in the wash it off range on drydown for me.

Left His Nurse While In a Crowd

This starts off as mouth watering, jaw dropping luscious milk chocolate creamy goodness. Like being inside of a chocolate factory, face first into some molten milk chocolate. If it stayed here I'd live in the bottle, slather it all over myself and do bad things to the bottle! Then the cream note actually comes out...completely with the other complex little monsters to make it chemical and unpleasant. That being said the cream note does this to me 9 out 10 times...like the glowing vulva scent that everyone loves. I cry for this scent...it starts off as THE BEST chocolate I've ever smelled. Sadness from a foodie lover. -
goes on great…smells like deep cake notes. wow this is much more foodie than i expected! I don't get any conflicting musk notes, nor is the honey amping on me (fear!). As it dries down the rose note comes out...reads mostly like floral with fruit. Not bad. I like the wet scent and initial dry scent better…what I'm left with is something short of a typical floralfruity perfume scent. this started out much better for me but i can see how this might appeal to a lot of people...it's very well blended and the fruit note is lovely, just not quite for me. moderate throw.
