The Soul of La Trivata is a definite one to hunt down. Black plum, black orchid, opium, grapefruit... Its a standout winner. The Black Apple of Saturn is also fabulous with its 'dry' apple note and cypress.

Great Vampire Bat. The orchid/incense combo wafts wonderfully in humid weather. It is however, an uber-rare.

As someone who amps rose to screeching soap levels I recommend Pink Lace (sweet and almost creamy pink), the rose is tea rose and while you can smell it, it doesn't over take the scent. I also had luck with O Daughter of Death and Priapus, and Wanda. I find if its sweeter notes with rose it tends to rein it in.

Bought for my boyfriend, so going off how it smells on him. In the bottle- rich wood and wine. Color type, a deep burgundy brown with golden highlights. Dry- warm sweet wood with a slightly berry (like cherry or currant) undertone. Or a wine with those as notes. Sexy. Verdict- makes my fella smell sexy, and he loves it.

I need to agree with this. I love orchids but in this blend they don't love me. It is very soapy and expensive smelling, but also something like an old lady would wear on me. Just not me. Sadly disappointed in this blend

Personally I have to beat men off when I wear Countess Willie (actually had to stop wearing it at work), and the combination of Bordello with The Black Rider is a win too.

Bordello

The Black Rider.....schmexy schmexy!

Pumpkin V and Arabian Dance for sure. Both fabulous.

In the bottle- gooey peaches with carmelized brown sugar. On my skin (I apply as a moisturizer), it turns into a warm yummy peach cobbler scent. Absolutely delicious!

I will second Sugar Skull, and throw in Raven Moon (such awesome spiciness and warmth). Its not really foody, but it's a winner for sure! Creepy is great for your caramel Apple needs, and Ghoulish smells like yummy cherry buttercream frosting!

In the forest for St. Patrick's day.

I tend to layer The Black Rider with Bordello. Its my favorite combination. Possibly might work for the two of you? Congratulations!

I am going to second Devil's Night....

The Black Rider and Malice are my two go-to's when I want to feel powerful.

Anyone else get buttered popcorn? Cause that is EXACTLY what this smells like on me. No thank you.

He may like Jareth from the Labyrinth collection, or The Black Rider from Marchen.

I love this. Its what I always wanted Snake Oil to be on my skin, but failed to achieve. This is dark, sexy, and powerful. I cannot discern individual notes, except the red and black musks, and a slight sugary top note. LOVE.

I have both riders, Red ends up being an almost single note seude leather scent on me. I far prefer Black with its complexity. In fact, its my favorite GC .

The Black Rider (under Marchen) a leather, amber musk combo that I love to wear when I am feeling particularly dangerous...

Today its Waltz of the Snowflakes. Just trying to get into the holiday spirit.

Hi I am a 35yo Irish/Italian mix with dark almost black hair, bright bluish green eyes, slightly olive complexion, 5'7, slender and athletic. I am an Aries with all the characteristics that goes with that sign, and a Snake on the Chinese Zodiac. I have a lot of tattoos, several piercings, and my style is tomboy mixed with eclectic pieces and a slightly military vibe. I am outspoken, independent, and very giving to those I love . I box, bellydance, ride horses, motorcycles and love adrenaline rushes. I have chosen a very unconventional path in love, being deeply involved in a relationship with a polyamorous married man. I love him very much, and the road has been a rough one to walk at times, but I am willing to bear up under almost anything for someone I love. I love kids, and animals. I pretty much will do the opposite of what people want of me, if for no other reason then to be obstinate. What da ya thunk?

Last time I wore inferno my skin went red/welty/firey. I don't love it enough to buy a scent locket just for it, but lesson learned.

I need this. I love this. Spicy warm Apple, pumpkin, and patchuli. I have almost used up both my decants of this. Total win.
