  1. wow - that's some strong cinnamon. reminds me Uranus.

    there something black in there, and (now that I saw someone else mention it) Coke.

    but mainly cinnamon

    I do think I'm getting little hints of the incense notes, but if I didn't know to "look" for them I might not be...

     

    it's not totally overpowering, but too strong of a candy-cinnamon for me

     

    *edit it fades down a lot after about 30 minutes. I can tell there are other notes besides cinnamon now, but I can't pick them out individually; the cinnamon is a bit sweeter/lighter

    but now the whol thing is very close to teh skin


  2. I get lots of white sandalwood, keep sniffing, and there's vetiver and a bit of clove

    it's really nice and smooth; one of the smoothest, softest vetiver scents I've tried

    I can't pick out the other notes separately, except maybe some beeswax off and on (the clove has disappeared into thebackground), but it's a gorgeous mix that's not too overwhelming

    it's both light and dark


  3. first let me say that I bought three (3) bottles of this and they are all the same

     

    I get absolutely NO leather in the bottle or on my skin, and the dreaded ROSE has taken over :cry2:

     

    I'm leaving it on for now (bracing myself for the Rose-headache) just in case it changes....but I'm not hopeful. Rose wins 99.9% of the time

     

    it goes a pit Pinesol for about 5-10 minutes, then soapy for 5-10 minutes - then back to Rose with a hint of incense

     

     

    **

    and it fades down a LOT in 2 hrs...just rose on my skin and maybe a hint of incense...and almost disappears an hour or two after that (just a hint of rose on my skin)

     

    NO LEATHER :cry2: :rantrave: :cry2:


  4. I wish I got all that in mine :(

     

    in the bottle - opium, resins, and slightly cologne-y

    on my skin - very faint and a bit more biting/sharp....then it turns to a sweet floral that's very clean....and underneath bit of vetiver

    *sigh* not what I was wanting


  5. this is the ONLY rose scent so far that I can wear. Normally, I amp it so much it gives me a splitting headache. Here it's so soft and subtle and nice...but there's still a "bite" in my nose to smell it

    it doesn't really smell "floral" or "herby" on me...but something in between and I can't pick out any other notes specifically


  6. in the imp I smell sweet tarts

    on my skin, I get sweet tarts and musky incense. the sweet tarts goes away VERY quickly (just a few minutes), leaving a nice soft vetiver (not overwhelming like in some other blends) tempered with pencil shavings lol

     

    and an incense note and maybe a hint of wood...I'm not sure they would have come to mind without seeing ZZ's post...but after reading it, I can kinda pick them out underneath the vetiver and pencil shavings


  7. Very light and sweet - Floral! almost a fruit note to it as well. I also picking up one of the labs lighter Rose notes (which always are bad on me)

    very much like one of the lighter Last Unicorn scents...

     

    I don't get any earthy or patchouli


  8. :cry2: I was hoping for more leather

    sadly, what I got was a wet scent that smells of mildew. there's leather there, but it smells like mildewed leather...even washing it off I smell like I'm moldy

     

     

    edit* I washed this off...but the smell didn't go away. In fact, HOURS later (6+) I can still smell it. There's a bit more leather, but it's still moldy mildewed :ack:


  9. at first it's all black orchid and red musk - purpley and hazy - yay!

    then pretty quickly the golden notes and nutmeg come out and really turn this "foody" on me. I smell yummy - but I don't like to smell like food lol

    almost a gingerbread-like smell


  10. definitely similar to BB, but it's (thankfully) is not quite as "vicks-rub" - there's still a hint of it, that must be the hemp b/c I *do* get "hemp" smell as well, that seems mixed in

     

    the vanilla is a much more mellow sweetness than BB, and it becomes more and more dominant as the hemp and patchouli give way. it's creamy vanilla :) but the other notes don't disappear, they just move to the background so you smell the vanilla *then* the hemp and patchouli. I like this much more than BB


  11. a touch of sweetness from the vanilla and hemp. it's almost like eucalyptus or vicks or something. medical-rub meets hemp. there's some earthy patchouli too, but it's hard to distinguish it from the hemp. the "mediciney" quality grows - not what I want to smell like

    the patchouli comes out more too, overall this is a strong scent - you better like the notes


  12. Hopefully this is in the right place...

     

    It's so soft in the bottle I can hardly smell it. Initially on my skin it's still very soft and pleasant with an almost herby/earthy/woodsy/insence quality that's nice but I can't put my finger on it.

    After an hour or so the scent turns very "brown", not exactly earthy but has that quality to it.

    It's not a strong scent.

    *edit - later in the day it's a tad more incense, but still "brown" and it's really, really faint (nose to wrist)


  13. BPAL's etsy page said this was a DD from 2005. Hopefully I'm not duplicating a post, but I checked all over...

     

    It's hard to tell exactly what it smells like in the bottle, but on my skin I get "pinesol clean". Very citrus and astringent. Even washing if off doesn't actually wash it off and I still smell like pinesol :(


  14. super faint! really, really hard to smell it, even with nose to wrist. I definitely get a tinge of something brown, maybe woodsey, but it's just too faint to tell. the notes are soft though - not harsh or sharp. it's a bit like insence and there's a "brown" note in there.
