Sexy, Smutty, Seductive, Provocative... It's All in Here

Smut is a limited edition, sometimes released with the Lupercalia's in January/February. I'm sure if you put an ISO up you can find some -
Sexy, Smutty, Seductive, Provocative... It's All in Here
Geminirubyshoes replied to ipb's topic in Recommendations
I have my a special section of "sexy" Bpal's on my dresser. This grouping consists of: Mme. Moriarty Haloes Tombeur Snake Charmer Res. Anathema Saint Foutin De Varailles Smut 2010 Crypt Queen Gothabilly Lamia Josie All of these things have garned compliments and OCD sniffing of me from boys. -
2010 edition - I am so happy Beth did this again! I had the 2007 version and it smells rich and smokey now. I am hoping that this bottle from this season will do the same in time. I am pleased with how cold it smells! It does smell a wee bit cologney at first but that wears away quick and the smoky, dry leaves in the cold night thing starts to happen. Honestly, I truly feel that this smells exactly like fall here in VT so it makes me very happy that I can have it all year round.

2010 edition - this is just kind of meh on me. I love it in the bottle, it's creamy apple spicyness. On me it just kind of smells like a generic apple spice candle, so I have taken to diffusing this in my oil burner. Let me tell you, my house now smells AMAZING! Its pretty cold in this drafty old farmhouse but smelling Lambs Wool while I read on my couch makes me feel warmer

I luster after this ever since it went live and finally got my paws on some at NYCC. This was a worthwhile splurge! I too use mine as body oil and it's heavenly. My skin is Noe super soft and smells amazing. It also layers well with any other musky, spice scent that you want to wear, you don't have to match it with more Snake Oil perfume. I will buy bottles of this as long as Puddin' wants to keep selling them!

In the bottle this smells like fruity burnt licorice but when I put it on, it blooms into sweet, cold, smoky violet with a bit of a greenish edge. I really love the lab's violet note in everything I encounter it in. This is a comforting scent to me. It just started getting really cold in Vermont and this is helping to make me feel warm
-
I'm guessing this was the big hit of Event Exclusives. In the bottle it's nutty, sweet and red musk all the way. Once applied the red musk mellows and I get some of the root beer creaminess, its even a little smokey. Strumpet musk FTW!

Admittedly I had never been too taken by the description of this. Pirate rum sounds too liquory to me and I was never very curious about it. Yet this past Saturday at NYCC, the tester for it was in the top left corner of one of the displays at the booth and it caught my eye. So I sniffed it. Instant love!!!! This must be what JK Rowling was thinking of when she wrote about Butterbeer. It's warm, creamy, melted butterscotch with just a hint of coconut rum. I think my eyes may have rolled in my head a bit when I smelled it. I didn't even test it, I just bought it based on sniff alone. When I put it on later that night it was all delicious butterscotch for a long time and then turned into creamy coconut hours later. Grog where have you been all my life?! My new favorite GC. If you like Miskatonic University, Anne Beany, or Hellcat, you would probably love this.

Ultra NOM!!!!! Spicy, cinnamony marshmallow pumpkins liquified. I feel like I have reached Halloween scent nirvana with obtaining a bottle of this.
-
mmmmm butterscotch!!!! this is uber butterscotchy and rum-my at first but then the cheesecake note starts to appear. I love that I can actually smell the crust too! creamy pirate cheesecake! I have been wearing this to go to sleep for the past 2 nights and its very comforting
-
This reminds me of A Blade of Grass and October mixed together in the bottle, but after I put it on it's so different! definately cool salty sea air. This is very evocative.
-
I WANT TO NOM MY ARM OFF. In the bottle its totally spice espresso, just slightly sweet. On my skin it is pumpkincinnamonspicecoffeeyumyumyumyum. I'm sad for those that don't get the pumpkin in theirs because it is a very enjoyable scent experience. This is everything I hoped it would be

I just discovered this! It had never even occurred to me to try this before. I have an imp and now I think I am going to need a bottle. Heavy, sweet opium with the vetiver giving it a semi-scorched smell...opium is a note of win for me. I have always loved it in everything I have smelled that includes it. The throw is pretty decent and it's long lasting. I really like this alot.
-
Wet this is sweet, musty oakmoss. I definately smell a smoky quality that is maybe the black musk? Not too strong on the patchouli front. Drier it's still sweet, but smoky wood and a little bit of dusty spice. Like the downstairs of an old finished basement. This kind of reminds me of Samhainophobia. I may need to snag a bottle of this before it goes away.
-
My decant of this is warm, toasty brown sugar. There seems go be a slight spice a couple minutes in after application but other than that it just stays with the brown sugar. This is the first year I've gotten Sugar Skull and I'm happy for that. This will be a great bedtime scent!
-
I've been lusting after this forever and finally procured some. In the bottle it smells like spicy fruit mushed down into the dirt. I think perhaps its the blood accord and the patchouli that produce the spiceness. This is very juicy, spicy floral that dries to an elegant, earthy sexy scent. This reminds me alot of Mme. Moriarty. The throw is pretty good. I keep slathering myself and it makes me happy

I won this in an eBay auction and got it in the mail today. Bottle: hmmmm, watery jasmine. On skin: jasmine and soft spice....mmmm red musk. Red Musk and I are such good friends. Normally I am not the biggest fan of jasmine but this is such a good match for red musk. Wisteria is not a note that I'm familiar with but that being said I don't pick anything up besides the two notes already stated. Verdict: this is going on my "sexy" bpal shelf. Right between Spellbound and Snake Oil.

I won this in an eBay auction and just got it in the mail today! I love how the label looks like notebook paper Oil: creamy, light, sweet musky vanilla . This reminds me of Anti Saloon league, Black Opal and the Girl. It has that dreamyness that those oils so on me. I feel like I am floating on a vanilla cream puff! It is a tinge soapy, but I don't mind that being in the background. I think the soapy keeps it from going powdery on me. This is really nice, I will probably burn through this bottle pretty fast.

Eat Me was one of the first scent I ever purchased from the lab and the first imp I ever used up. It smells like sinfully rich, vanilla cake with spicy fruit. My bottle is over a year old now and it just keeps getting better!
-
I just got the 2006 version. It's much different than the description! to me it smells like Samhain (appley spice) with vetiver and dead leaves. But it's light. I was expecting dark, intense vetiver and oakmoss. Not that I am complaining, I love the way it smells! so autumnal! it's just very different that what I expected. I love the menacing pumpkin peeking in the window at the cringing child on the label too
-
The Forest Reverie is not my usual bag of notes, but I am a sucker for opium and the general description got me. In the bottle it's smoky, sweet herbal schtuff. When I first put it on I swear it smells like tea tree oil ( this may be what grape vine turns into on me, I've never had it in anything before). Dry it had become warm, smokey soft opium with just a tiny detectable amount of roses. I want to go read a book in the woods now.

Yet again, something I thought I reviewed a long time ago but didn't... I got this for Christmas in '09 and I actually did not like it at first. It was too sickly sweet, too gingery....which is a weird thing for me to complain about as I typically like really sweet scents. But there was just something about it I really didn't care for. However, a little over 6 months later it's sooo much better. Sniffing from the bottle it is juicy, candied fruits with a little bit of musky plumminess. Pretty much the same on my skin when first applied plus a little bit of gingery kick and then it dries down to a soft, sweet, lightly fruit musk. I don't really get chocolate ever, I think the other notes overpower that on me. All in all, glad I waited for this one to mellow out a bit because I like it much better now

Seconded!

Just got this in the mail. It's about eleventh billion degrees here in VT so the oil in the bottle is somewhat uncomfortably warm. Oh well, time to slather anyways! Tiki Princess is gorgeous. It's sweet, juicy coconut with heady plumeria and jasmine. I love coconut and plumeria more than jasmine yet all three of them blend so well together in this. I slathered it all over my wrists and neck and now I am lazing about in a tropical haze. You know now that I think about it this reminds me of a coconut scented lotion that I used to be quite fond of when I was a teenager. That Creamy Coconut lotion from Bath and body Works. I won't use that stuff anymore due to the high chemical content so I'm glad I have Tiki Princess to fill that coconut void! Nice work Beth

The Millers' Daughter: this has that "rainy day in a barn" feeling to me. It does smell metallic and tangy in the bottle but when I have this on it is soft rosy amber with just a twinge of the metallic (the gold) that makes it a winner for me. My bottle is over a year old now and it has aged so nicely. The throw on this is moderate and it has long wear length, at least for me. Very evocative of the story.
