Got this one as a frimp in my last order. In the bottle, it was all juicy red fruit. When I first applied it, it got something of the weird cherry cough drop note that Wanda has on me. Unlike Wanda, though, Lady Macbeth didn't hang onto that note very long. Almost immediately, it vanished, and the lush fruitiness I smelled in the bottle took center stage. It was tempered by something less sweet, though: probably the thyme. Considering I often blend a tea that has thyme and berries in it, I think this was a great combo. I realized within a few minutes of applying it that I like it a lot more than I thought I did at first. I'm not usually much for fruity scents, but once in a while, they're ok. Lampades is a fruity scent that's not overly sweet or sticky-smelling on me. Lady Macbeth is clearly another. It's refreshing and pleasant. Not a scent I'd wear often, but definitely enjoyable when I'm in the right mood. I probably wouldn't order a big bottle of it (whereas I might consider it with the crisper, darker Lampades), but I think the imp will last me a good while.

Mmm. Not bad. I don't know that I'm as much in love with it as some are. I wouldn't buy a 5mL bottle. However, it IS nice. I don't get much of the sweetness of the vanilla on me. Instead, I kind of smell like the cask in which the vanilla was soaked in bourbon to make extract. It's a dry scent, very woody, with a veneer on top that's almost powdery. Pleasant, but not head-over-heels. --Laura

Mmm. Just got an imp of this yesterday, and am wearing it today. I got the florals while it was wet, but then they fade. Later on, the myrrh, musk and honey combine beautifully for a sweet, sensual, heady fragrance. For me, this is like waking up in the morning while my lover is still asleep in bed, after a night of passion, and going over to open a bottle of perfume on my dresser. The smell of the perfume mingles with the smell of pleasure, and with the laziness of the morning. Fabulous. Keeper. Then again, at first sniff, ALL my imp choices seem to be keepers this time around! That's a first for me. I never got the "peanut butter" smell in this one, so I think that might be something that only happens to certain people when it interacts with their skin chemistry. I also never really pick up much of the geranium or cognac, but that's fine. I think their presence is felt mostly in how they affect the other smells in this one, making the tuberose a little punchier, and the myrrh a little brighter, than they'd normally be .
