I tried Hideous Heart and I think I got cough syrup on that one. Haven't smelled Jester or Kabuki though. Are those foodie cherry?
Yeah, but I like cough syrup cherry so it doesn't bother me! Kabuki is more foodie cherry.
-
My favorite cherry scents are The Red Queen, Jester, Hideous Heart and Kabuki.
-
Most of there are hard to find, but they came to mind first!
Jailbait
Vetvet Pink Kitty
Velvet Unicorn
Jester
Kabuki

Did I miss the tacky ornament swap this year?
-
Tiki Princess for sure and also maybe Blue Fire?
-
Black Cat? Cheshire Cat?

Mme. Moriarty has tons of throw on me. I once got a compliment the day after I wore it!
-
That sounds fun!
-
In bottle: Slightly floral spice.
Wet on skin: It's very red smelling for sure.....like cherry licorice!
Dry on skin: It's soft and buttery and I can definitely pick up a candy vibe. The red currant gives it a great spicy kick at the end.
Verdict: I love it!

Red
in Fraggle Rock
In decant: Somehow it smells like red hairspray?
Wet on skin: It smells a bit like strawberry Suave shampoo to me. I can just pick up the cranberry and a fruity musk. I had a sneezing fit about two minutes in but I'm not sure if it's related.
Dry on skin: It's super pink for sure but somehow it's smelling a bit aquatic to me as well. I'm not sure what note that is but I think it's the cranberry. I can definitely pink up the fruit musk and currant but it still reminds me a little bit of shampoo. The tanginess makes it smell a little bit like powdery candy.
Verdict: I think I'm gong to put this away for a little bit and see if it doesn't need a little age. Right now, it's a generic pink/red musk scent to me.

I'm in love with this. It's a very rich and thick, sugary vanilla without it being girly if that's possible? I could hoard this and really wish it was available in a perfume oil!
-
To me, old ladyish means powdery and heavy on the rose. Wanton reminds me of something my mom used to wear back in the day.
-
Ew. In the bottle, wet and dry it smells like moth balls on me. Gross. I had to wash it off.
-
I'm so sad that I waited this long to try the Mme! At first rather woody on me, she morphs into something dark and sweet and sexy. Once on for a bit, I can smell the patchouli and pomegranate and it's lovely. I'm so glad I bought a bottle at Seattle Will Call! I've gotten complements every time I've worn it.
-
I love this and the boy does, too. It smells like cinnamon and spicy honey on me. I have Butterfly Bushes in my yard and this is what the flowers smell like. Delicious!
I must hoard the precious.
-
If you can find some Slaugh I suggest you pick it up. It's like a more dry version of SSS and I love it as well!
-
I wore Jailbait....super candylicious!
-
Cheshire Cat is one of my warm weather scents as well. More grapefruity but super citrusy and tropical!
-
I agree with Tiki Princess....it's lovely! Blue Fire from the Atomic Tiki Lounge is also a very tropical scent to me.
-
This is beautiful blueberry and lemon meringue at first.....delicious! The final dry down gets just a bit plasticy but I'm betting with a little age it will be just fine.
-
I'm going to admit something here; I *loved* Vanilla Fields when it first came out. Celeste smells like a much more sophisticated, complex and grown up version of Vanilla Fields. Instant love and I shall be buying a bottle.

This was super aquatic and soapy on me and not in a good way, unfortunately.

I agree with the reviewers that said this scent changes each time you wear it. At first it was all black tea. Then it went through a serious cream/milk phase that I didn't enjoy at all. The last time I wore it, it was creamy in a carnation kind of way and it was gorgeous.
You never know what you're going to get but it's fun to try to guess!
Anise, Aniseed, Licorice, Liquorice, Fennel, Ouzo?

I don't know if you're only looking for BPAL but Genteel by Arcana is gorgeous licorice/aniseed:
Aniseed, 2 vanillas, dry amber, sugar, and cashmere musk with wisps of fine sandalwood and cedarwood.
