I got this as a freebie in a swap - its a very strange scent but I think I like it. In the bottle - liquorice with flowers underneath - I am disapointed as I hate liquorice but will persevere. On my skin wet - the liquorice shouts out but there is a softer, floral underneath - I can't put my finger on what floral scent it is but it is lovely Drydown - mmm liquorice fading now, liking this more, it is floral but not overwhelmingly so. The spicey, herbly top layer are seperating clearly...its werid I can bearly smell this as I breath in but its stronger when I breath out - its a mystery scent. AFter a few hours - mmm just the floral left now, i thought lilac notes, its lovely. Am so glad I didn't throw it out after the liquorice incident... A keeper!

Masabakes is a Cantabrian demoness that governs lustfulness and lechery. In order to tempt virgins to corruption she employs the aid of her lackey, the imp Tentirujo. Under the cover of magickal invisibility, the imp caresses maidens with mandrake root, instilling uncontrollable passion and wantonness in the unsuspecting girls. Thick black currant with the darkest, deepest myrrh, a drop of bitter mimosa and the slightest touch of mandrake dust. On sniffing this one in the imp, I hated it. It smelt like earth and ribena all mixed up together. On my skin at first I could really smell the earthy notes but laced over the top there was a distinct sweet, fruity smell and it took me back 20 years to school when the craze for candy called Spangles was in full swing. After a few hours the spangle scent softened and its really fruity and slightly floral on my werid skin - still - its lovely.

I have a terrible reaction to anything with cinimman - Sacred whore made my neck red for days - its so unfair - I love the stuff! Also seem to be a little sensitive to some oils with tonka in them, but not sensitve enough not to wear them...

I think midnight and Flying fox go well together - think its the Jasmine in them both that compliments each other.
