it doesn't smell like coke to me at all..it's definitely my favorite of the Yule 09 scents. On me it dries to a resinie awesomeness with a hint of darkness.. and it has amazing staying power. I can still smell this one on my wrists the day after, after a bath.

I want to apologize to all the new members/lurking members who may have oils that I'd like to buy, or swap for. Sadly I won't be able to do so because of the actions of ONE member of this board and the lies she is getting away with to the staff here. This sucks, because I really enjoy buying/swapping oils here and I am very sure that almost all of you are honest people whom I'd love to get to know. However, I won't risk it because one bad person has left a very bad taste in my mouth. Once again, I'm so sorry. Kristana

the visuals.. >< nooooo lol

as usual, you rock, Twilighteyes.

I don't get the aquatics in this, which is great because I really don't like Selkie at all. I LOVE this scent. I wear it when I need to feel fierce..the moss is amazing on me and even my guy likes it. The cypress doesn't have that powdery undertone that it can get, in this, it has a nice bite.

I use ScentBase too, it's an easy way for me to check before I buy new stuff.

I wore this today, I agree that the clove note is divine. I will be ordering another bottle as well. It stayed on all day and just got more spicy on my skin as the day wore on.
