Taste the Cherries and Look at the Flowers Hair Gloss
stellamaris replied to puck_nc's topic in Hair
This is so beautiful...I want to make the whole world smell like this... It's so fresh, but sweet at the same time. The cherry note is very sweet, and the flowers are so lush. It's perfect. -
Best masculine scents *from the last five years*?

From and for my husband, Hellboy Perversion The Cat WILF Lady Death Sauvage Dragon Moon Raven Moon Hippie Ghost -
Beautiful, a perfect slightly dark snow scent. Can't wait to wear this in the hot weather!
-
Oh gosh this is just lovely, and very long lasting on me. Smells sweet, dark and plummy, not a whole lot of violet, I'm hoping that makes an appearance at some point. Lovely.
-
Well, when I got this I don't know if I was just not in the mood or what, but I didn't really wear it. Suddenly I am completely obsessed with it. It is super sweet but somehow not over the top cloying. The strawberry note is just gorgeous and I don't even care that I have to reapply it because I am so in love. Oh hello, this will be going in the scent locket, duh...the cure for poofy amazing perfumes...

I have Snow at Noon and found it different from Skadi, that's probably not so helpful, but it does have mint.
-
Hm. That's challenging as you don't dig the snow note, but immediately I thought of Braving the Ice. It's foody but very different from regular retail vanilla things. Have you tried Gacela of the Dark Death? To me it's a resin heavy forrest kind of scent, very beautiful and cold. A definite pine note.
-
gosh I really love this. It's like the most perfect evocative patchouli, without being cheap or simple. Absolutely mouth watering and gorgeous.
-
I was just thinking today that I hope Perilous Parlor comes back. I have The Vine, it's lovely
-
It's funny I never reviewed this, because out of the zillion or so gingerbread things I have, this one is the favorite. It's not so sweet to me, it's sort of a dry spicey thing. Fancy indeed.

Let me just say that La Befana was the Yule I was most excited about. I had a decant from last year but did not get a bottle, somehow I overlooked the decant, and it was so lovely. I got my bottle ripped out of the package, applied and was ???? what the heck? Fortunately, I left it a few days waited, now ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, there's that heavenly violet thing... This is so beautiful. I am obsessed, it's sweet violet candy.

Well, this may age into the dark apple thing that I thought it would be, but for now it's a beautiful high pitched appley thing, delicious and fresh. I want more of the patchouli/champaca thing which is mostly in the background for now. Unlike the above poster this one absolutely poufs on me, but it's AMAZING in a scent locket. It's absolutely mouth watering. The other day I went out to walk my dogs bundled in coat, scarves etc., and thought, wow what is that amazing scent? Is it on my scarf? The neighbors looking out the windows may have thought, oh there goes that nut again, she's always sniffing herself... but I could not locate it on my clothes and then ding, it hit me, it's my scent locket with Apple III that is buried about four layers deep! I love this one. And to think apple used to be one of my "death notes". Thank you Beth for basically eliminating the need to ever type the words "death note " again
-
This one always smelled very medicinal to me wet, but today I tried a very ancient imp and wow the dry down was all beautiful honey and musk. I usually am a huge cinammon fan so I am glad I gave this one another shot. I may have to buy a bottle and age it!

Why do scents turn to baby powder on me?!
stellamaris replied to stardust's topic in Recommendations
The only thing that went very powdery on me was The Lion. -
That's one of my husband's favorites, for himself that is! He however does tend to go for more "flowery " things than you would suspect. One night he wore Raven Moon to bed...it smelled just amazing on him. I tend to go for more "manly" things so I guess we even out. Lady Death smells gorgeous on him btw. It's a beautiful perfume.
-
Overall impressions : Winning... yes. Marshmallow. Vanilla. Is good.
-
agreed, this is not a sharp wintery thing like The Shivering Boy, but a sweeter nice snowy thing. I get something fruity. I like this one a lot, I can surely see wearing it in the hot weather.
-
I know they are BTP, but how about the Pumpkins of the Apocalypse hair glosses? Bow and Crown of Conquest is just awesome IMO,

Help! Gift Card Paralysis! What should I get?
stellamaris replied to BrieCS's topic in Recommendations
The Rose is an amazing choice if you love Rose Red and Peacock Queen -
Before I sadly drained the bottle I used to love Stormclouds Over the Midway. It smelled just like rain. I like the "aquatics" and watery things, Halloween at Innsmuth (sp?) with it's fishy incense is a good one.
-
Ooh this is gorgeous. And very fancy. It's patchouli, but not the dirty hippie kind, the fancy perfumed kind. And the vetiver behaves. It's lush. And gorgeous.
-
Well, this is 100 percent Boy Juice, no unisex here. I deemed it Awful, and gave it to my son. Smells very good on him. Pass for me.
-
this is sweet, rainsiny, and delicious, I love it. Definitely a deep winter comfort scent, so much more beautiful than I had imagined.
-
This is so incredibly evocative and beautiful, and the incense is that perfect incense, I can hardly imagine a scent more lovely.
-
Not for me. Nasty. Smells like red pickles. No no no. and I'm back, three months later. Now it smells really nice, like red wine and wood. I like it. How strange. It's even mouth watering, sort of like Obsidian Widow or Mason and Jenkins Port Wine Jelly.
