OMG Yum.
First off, I love to smell like cake.
There is a lot of Snake Oil in this. I find Snake Oil a little overbearing on its own - so Cake Smash is really working for me. It has all the incense-y spice that I love in Snake Oil, but with a mega jump start of lovely red velvet cake and cream cheese icing. I get nothing but compliments when I wear this. Seriously, who is going to say "Ewwww, who smells like cake?..."
Even my sister who has deemed all my BPAL as 'hippie shit' loves when I wear this.
I don't get Dorian in this (and I LOVE Dorian) and I have never tried Doc Constantine - but I do get Snake Oil. I find this a lot 'richer' than Eat Me (which I also LOVE) and of course it doesn't have the currant/berry twinge Eat Me does.
Major lasting power on my skin and a hoard worthy scent for sure. Believe me, I am on it.
I really REALLY love Lurid on my guy!
I wear it too and it smells totally different on one each of us. Total win.
Lurid: Shocking, horrific, fierce, savage, sensationalized, luminous and hazy: black currant, Bulgarian lavender and white musk with a dollop of thick resin and a voltaic charge of ozone notes.
