rosered

A sweet reward for a worthy deed: caramelized sugar and sweet cream. In the bottle: Sweet and buttery. I smelled this scent the last time I was in Disneyland and the sweet shop on Main Street was making buttered peanut brittle all day. Well, minus the peanuts, of course! The air was so filled with the buttery sweetness that it was almost like swimming in a vat of if and you could taste it just by breathing in the richness. Carmel cream. On: Very little change. I was worried this would go weird on me like Sugar Skull does but it stays very true on my skin. I can smell a bit of vanilla and it becomes even foodier, if that makes sense. Another keeper!

TORTURE KING The King of Pain, the Famed Fakir. Frankincense and sweet clove, mandarin and bourbon, lemon peel and leather, grasses and smoke, lime and vetiver, ambergris and deep musk. Me: Rich and elegant, with a sharp bite hidden in it. Smell the exotic incense while you watch the show, watch the smoke curling up and clouding your vision. There's a fresh breeze from the green field outside fluttering through the tent flaps to keep it from becoming too heavy. Eyes half lidded and feeling pleasently drugged (or maybe it was that swig of bourbon from your hip flask), you see the impossible happen. Incense, but with a crispness to it from the citrus and grass notes. I can feel myself blissing out just from deeply sniffing the bottle. It still retains some of the citrus on me, but it warms up a bit. I tend to get a headache from burning incense, but this is wonderful! Final thought: I have a bottle, and I'm keeping it! If I get a chance, I'd get another one.

Ok, fine. It isn't really a lump of coal, but brownies and coal are vaguely similar in color! -- and you know you could never be naughty enough for us to really toss a coal at you! After all, we specialize in sin at Black Phoenix. This is the truly sinful scent of a sticky, thick, dark and rich fudge brownie. In the bottle: Yum! Brownies so rich they've liquified! I want to drink the bottle down or inhale it all. Black hole brownies...mmmm... On me: Still lovely chocolate! Some of the Lab chocolates love me, some hate me, but this is love at first scent. It's gotten a warmer edge, like brownies ready to come out of the oven now. I can just taste the crisp edges and the gooey middle! It also lasts and lasts on me! Yeah, keeper.

I had an imp of this, and now I have a bottle, I love it so! Eris is my Goddess, so I'm glad Her scent loves me. Ripe summer melons, fragrant rich flowers, yum! As it drys, the floral tones come out more, but the fruit never goes away. My husband thinks it's just edible on me...

It's really sweet in the bottle, but as it drys on me the spice of the amber comes out to play with the berries and I can smell the carnation. Sooo lovely that I just want to inhale my wrist! It's a keeper! I wouldn't say no to another bottle if one comes my way...

Very earthy and strong. Flowers and Dragon's Blood, all jumbled together. There's a bitterness that isn't getting along well with me. Maybe I'll try it again later on, but it's not a keeper right now.

Pure leather! I sew with leather, and this smells like my workroom. I'm glad I was able to get a bottle for my husband, as it's one of his favorites! Layered with Graveyard Dirt it's even more amazing.

Lovely mint! I was worried, as spearmint makes me sick both the taste and smell, but I can smell it over the other mints, yay! The cucumber is there as well, but it's mainly a complex peppermint smell on me. I use peppermint oil on my forehead for the cooling effect when I have a headache so I find the scent very relaxing. I'll have to compare it to my other favorite mint scent, Shattered. Overall, I'm sad I only have 2/3 a bottle, but I'm keeping it!

Sweet and fruity in the bottle; I just want to sniff it all down! On me it's still sweet and fruity, but it drys with a stronger undertone that must be the musk. Yum! It lasts a medium length of time one me, wish it was longer. Overall, I just love the stuff and can't get enough! There will never be enough bottles for me until I have every last one of them...

I don't even see coconut in the description, but I swear it smells like chocolate macroons in the bottle! Particularly the massive ones from Max's in San Francisco that you have to share with a friend. When dry, it gets incense-y, but it's still a chocolate macroon incense. It has pretty good staying power and throw! If I didn't have so many other bottles, I'd be really sad I only have the one bottle.

Rich earth, moist and wonderful! Or like going down into the root cellar when I lived on a farm as a child. My husband adores it and wants every bottle possible, so don't fear if you don't want yours...

I love it...very dark, dusty roses. Like lush roses aging on a grave. I know, this isn't supposed to be roses, but that's how it comes to me. My husband doesn't like it; to him it smells like RAID, which I don't get at all! Well, maybe I'll wear it to work, so he doesn't have to smell it. I need to get some Absinthe and Graveyard Dirt for him...
