this is great minilux ms. diva valentina...i am glad i finally got to read your review...while i did not see the toxic twins performing said night i can't even imagine what mr. tyler can be thinking straining his vocal cords like that!!! back in february, aerosmith had to cut the tour short due to steven's throat problems...apparently from decades of spitting and snarling like a drill sergeant his vocal cords went kaplewey...they were like varicose veins that continally bled so they had to stitch them up via surgery....i shudder at the thought of him going back on the road so soon and am fearful he will do even more damage but i am sure his docs know best .... or itz the "greenbacks" talking....... we will just have to wait it out and see.... but i have a sneaking suspicion this upcoming tour with motley crue will end up being cut short as well....they kick it off in hartford on 9/7.....

straight sniff from the bottle is slightly powdery and very smooth smelling purple violets and vanilla musk this warms up and positively loves my chemistry...i get some of the mandarin note mixing with that heavenly violet creating an almost incensey blend that is to die for!!!!! perfect for summer weather~ i love this so much along with the fact that a few drops last for hours!! another salon winner
-
straight sniff from bottle is pure joy to my senses all the wood notes, black pepper and frankincense are positively marvelous...this is some seriously strong perfume going on here folks!! the spicy sweetness is phenomenal hmmm after about 1/2 hour the scent turns into a big mish-mash of an extremely floral blend...it has to be that dreaded blonde tobacco...i have tried this in the past (blonde tobacco) and it just does not play nice with my chemistry... while i think this would be absolutely beautiful on the right person, i am saddened to say this is just not for me

I am finding all of the salon scents extremely decadent and this one is absolutely, without a doubt, going to be a long time favorite with me. At first sniff from the bottle this is a thick smoky and bitter scent. Once applied it sweetens up into a resinous and heady perfume...every note compliments one another in the most elegant way. The vetiver, black musk, leather, patchouli, ambergris are all distinct. Extremely long lasting and achingly gorgeous. This tiny treasure is an olfactory fantasy
-
straight sniff from bottle is really mouthwatering to me!!! kind of a sort of a tea cookie....sumpin...hmmmmm applied the lavender turns really creamy and the cinnamon is oh so lovely!!! not harsh or bitey whatsoever...smooth and elegant the components in this blend are just marvelous and i will be loving my bottle for many months to come
-
first and foremost the label on this is just gorgeous straight sniff from bottle is piney, sweet floral... once applied this turns into mostly amber and rose...the amber note gets stronger and stronger with time and all but overtakes the lotus and rose...a very gorgeous blend for the right woman indeed
-
straight sniff from bottle was a lovely medley of floral...once applied the carnation and honeysuckle get amped up far too much for my liking this scent is strong as well...lasts hours...while the carnation gets a bit spicier after time, it is just not enuff for me to completely love this blend...off to a good home she goes

how about trying a scent locket on a very long chain??? -
i should have addressed the way wine/boozy notes react to me in my previous message so here goes... ... no alcohol smell whatsoever...just thick, rich and an almost butter kind of fruity note...you really need to try for yourself some of these blends and see how they react with your chemistry...then you will know for sure

centzon totochtin is my all time fav wine blend from the lab... here is the description... The Four Hundred divine rabbits of the Aztec pantheon that preside over parties and drunkenness. Bittersweet Mexican cocoa with rum, red wine, and a scent redolent of sacrificial blood. if you have not tried this one out put it on your wishlist!!! the wine, rum and cocoa are absolutely heavenly...

straight sniff from bottle.... this is candied snake oil!!! applied ... a delightfully moist carrot cake with a thick orange cream cheese frosting...plus some snake oil....hehe...wowza!! good heavens this is pure indulgence beyond words...i am astounded once again in beth's transformation of fragrances...she has come so far and this is the best and my current favorite of all time.... i have a 5 ml now, have one 5 ml coming from a forumite and will have a 10 ml on order by days end as i am more than positive this will age to the most amazing and astounding perfume ever created....
-
straight sniff from imp is pink grapefruit and a delicate tea....beautiful!!! applied this is very strong and the ginger amps up hugely...this is another summertime scent from the lab that should not be missed if you are a grapefruit freak such as myself...lasts hours and hours even in the hottest and stickiest dog days of summer....
-
straight sniff from bottle is delightfully refreshing lemon, lemons and more lemons....gorgeous!! this scent was made for me as the musk intertwines with lemon verbena and lemongrass making this an absolute dream for a summertime fragrance...grapefruity beyond belief .... i am thrilled i ordered a big bottle .... i will wear it in good health all summer long most definitely
-
straight sniff from imp is all rosy pomegranites....so very pretty!!!! hmmm...once applied the rose gets a somewhat "doughy" quality...similar to bordello to me....no pomegranite whatsoever...pure rosy dough.....what a shame as i had such high hopes for this one
-
straight sniff from imp is extremely alcoholic and the tiniest touch of floral whoa!! once applied this is pure orchid...with a slight touch of fruitiness ... quite pretty indeed and so different than i had expected...i will surely will cherish my imp
-
straight sniff from imp is purely jasmine and ylang-ylang... applied this is just dreadful...pure, thick jasmine mixed with other heavy florals. not for me in the least
-
straight sniff from the imp is a lovely and tangy orange/patchouli... applied this is a heavily wooded and benzoin laced aroma making this just incredibly complex...i think i get a touch lavendar and this softens up to be one of my favorites...so glad i scored a bottle of this from a lovely forumite for sure
-
straight sniff from imp is a crisp and triple shot sour apple martini yum! once applied i immediately get a plastic or synthetic sensation ... after 30 to 40 minutes this warms up and that plastic note is completely gone (amen!) ... the apple note stays true but this is just far too sweet and sugary for my liking...exactly like that apple bubble gum i used to chew as a kid...
-
straight sniff from imp is black musk and a beautiful, thick, rich vetiver applied this turns very sharp but in the most wonderful way on me; then just a smidge of soft, worn and faded leather...wow...this is on my list for a big bottle purchase and will be a fine one indeed for the darkest of winter months...love it
-
straight sniff from imp is a delicate, mushroom scent.... applied this changes and gets a sweet, sugary quality... unfortunately, i just don't have much luck with the more earthy lab blends as they all end up smelling simply like freshly turned soil and not much more....*le sigh*
-
straight sniff from imp is hugely cedar and sandalwood... applied this doesn't change much, if at all...perhaps a touch of the frankincense comes through...lovely but just too similar to my favorite cathedral
-
i love how this smells in the imp....a bit sharp and green floral.... applied this is a heady, thick womanly fragrance...i never get any of the vanilla or sweet pea...mostly neroli and other florals...nice but most definitely not for me
-
straight sniff from imp is all about a very thick and heady almond fragrance... applied the almond amps up hugely followed by thick cherry... then this turns into a positively gorgeous floral...!! wow!!! i wish i could pinpoint exactly which floral...something vanilla-like....oh yes...that is heliotrope...beautiful scent indeed
-
straight sniff from bottle is a beautiful fresh orange blossom with delicate droplets of rain making this very aquatic-like ... also a hint of freshly ground white pepper applied this blend really amps up with my chemistry...perhaps the kumquat....lovely and long lasting...after 30 minutes i get a hint of something almost spicy... i guess the pepper on my skin turns it a bit spicy and sharp.... love this for a summer scent most definitely .... gorgeous!!!
-
straight sniff from the bottle this is a big bunch of super ripe bananas once applied it turns into a freshly baked piece of banana nut bread still warm from the oven with gobs of butter slowly melting on top...completely droolworthy!!! after 30 minutes or so a heady vanilla nuttiness peeks through mixing with what seems to be the slightest cassia note...this is one of beth's finest creations to date!! uber long lasting on me this is positively the most scrumdillyishus blend ... i can only imagine how wonderful this will be aged as well...
