Washer

Thank you! I will finally place an order for Scherezade and I will try to layer it with O.

Can anyone recommend a GC equivalent to The Infernal Lover? I desperately need it.

IMP: Creamy, spicy, warm floral. WET: It smells like a yummy winter drink - bergamot, honey, spices and warm milk. Definitely foodie but not too sweet or overcloying. DRY: Once it dries the carnation stars to emerge - again, this is not a heavy floral note. After a couple of hours all I can smell is a hint of rose and spices. Lovely, but I wish it lasted longer. Alice is my ultimate comfort scent, just perfect to wear during a lazy rainy afternoon. I love it and I will need another bottle of it soon!

IMP: Floral laundry detergent. It reminds me of clean clothes drying in the sun. WET: Buttery and creamy floral, very heavy. DRY: Sadly I had to wash it off after about fifteen minutes because it was making me a bit nauseated. I am sad because I had high hopes for Dirty, as I find the scent of clean linen lovely. Obviously I do not care about smelling like butter, especially because this was supposed to be a fresh summer oil, so off to the swap pile.

IMP: Orange and spices. WET: It reminds me of Christmas cookies, a very comforting scent indeed. Sadly the cinnamon oil is making my wrist itch! DRY: It has almost no lasting power on me. I got Red Devil as a frimp and even though I like the smell, the fact that it has no throw and my skin is still irritated after an hour sends it straight to my swap list.

IMP: Almonds! The smell reminds me of Amaretto liqueur and soft almond pastry, bitter and sweet and the same time. WET: Where did all the almonds go? Sweet incense smoke. DRY: After three hours the myrrh completely took over, even though I can still smell something very sweet, almost foodie. I am going to keep the imp because when Hecate is dry it smells gorgeous on me, but I am a bit disappointed that my skin totally absorbed the almond notes!

IMP: Definitely a foodie scent. Juicy, sugary pineapple and a hint of cherry cake. WET: Huge throw, too strong for my likings! All I smell is very sweet pineapple. DRY: Thankfully the throw subsided a lot within fifteen/thirty minutes. I still smell pineapple, but the cherry cake came back and I get a bit of burnt, caramelised sugar too. While this is not a bad scent, this is definitely not something I would wear all time. I really wanted to like it, mostly because the "hot buttered toast and roast turkey" bit in the description seemed so amazingly weird, but it is almost all pineapple on me. I am keeping the imp, but definitely not getting a bottle.
