i got an imp of DeSade because i thought it would be great to layer with some other scents - i was completely unprepared for what i got out of it when it arrived...
in the bottle - that's leather alright! yay!
first time out - before bed i slid a drop across the backs of my thumbs (the only place not taken by 13 other dry but still warring imp dabs freshly acquired from The Lab ) - instant yum! yes leather, but more like soft brown garment leather... i kept thinking of Ayla's sling - but wait! ohhhh.... there's the sweaty black leather, yummmmmm!!!!
then an unidentifiable Something Else (others used 'acrid' before - that's a perfect description) crept in... sharp but in no way unpleasant... very arousing - fell asleep with a big smile on my face!
then i tried it by itself (well, on top of some long dry Snake Oil from the am) yesterday evening
dotted a taste on throat, inner arms, and wrists...
holy crap
i mean, woah
leather still, a little bit,
but the Something Else i noticed before?
keerisht! this stuff smells like a cocaine drip tastes in the back of your throat,
like, Not In A Bad Way At All
(yes, i am guilty of knowing this bit of info - misspent youth and all )
that instant rush (pun not intended til it happened) went quickly and it was back to leather, but for the first 5 minutes? i just can't put it any other way, it was blow - pure and simple, my heartrate even sped up a little!
as it dried it beautifully tempered itself back to a soft warm-body leather again, comforting hand in hand with having fleeting truly dirty thoughts - much too TMI to detail in a review... maybe in yonder sex thread sometime...
it's an indulgent smell - and a whole lotta depraved! I LOVE IT!!!
DeSade could not have been more aptly named... the Marquis would be honored
this is the smell of The Perfect Top and a night of dedicated Depravity
can't wait to smell it on the right partner someday... (like MeiLin said a few posts back - it's like that)
a Big Bottle WILL be coveted, oh yes...
(but i *am* still wondering which other scent was the one that created the soft brown leathery smell, the one that gave me visions of Ayla and her sling... i liked that alot too and will keep experimenting with blends to find it again.)
(oh - and... hai! i'm de-lurking - first review on the Forum)
