Deiicide

From livid skies that, without end, As stormy as your future roll, What thoughts into your empty soul (Answer me, libertine!) descend? — Insatiable yet for all That turns on darkness, doom, or dice, I'll not, like Ovid, mourn my fall, Chased from the Latin paradise. Skies, torn like seacoasts by the storm! In you I see my pride take form, And the huge clouds that rush in streams Are the black hearses of my dreams, And your red rays reflect the hell, In which my heart is pleased to dwell. The perfume of a hellbound soul, gleefully lost to iniquity: blood musk, golden honey, thick black wine, champagne grapes, tobacco flower, plum blossom, tonka bean, oakmoss, carnation, benzoin, opoponax, and sugar cane. Such simple sweetness. This is just simply divine. I /adore/ Beth's wine notes and they adore me too and just the simple sweetness of the fruits with the tabacco, I knew just knew that this would not disappoint. From the bottle the thick black wine and the grapes is the most appartent. There is a hint of musk but it doesn't levy itself until it hits the skin. And then it transforms. Rich, decedant and layered into a wonderous tapestry. The wine like all things leaps off my skin but it doesn't over power everything like it normally does. No no, it tempered immediatly by the musk, honey, grapes and the opoponax. It's rich musky honeyed wine with hints of fruits and spice. I'm getting much more fruit and wine from this then any of the other notes but that's alright by me for I love those two. The blend doesn't really change much from dry to wet, except the tabacco flower adds depth with the musk. More throw when wet then dry. If you are turned off my musk, give this a try as there is enough ingredients to smooth and sweeten the blend. This gives enough sweet, and enough rawr. Like the poem states before, this does seem to imply the darkness hiding within the hearts of us all. Evil smells damn good.

Just before I was leaving, the old lady came up to my room and said in a hysterical way: "Must you go? Oh! Young Herr, must you go?" She was in such an excited state that she seemed to have lost her grip of what German she knew, and mixed it all up with some other language which I did not know at all. I was just able to follow her by asking many questions. When I told her that I must go at once, and that I was engaged on important business, she asked again: "Do you know what day it is?" I answered that it was the fourth of May. She shook her head as she said again: "Oh, yes! I know that! I know that, but do you know what day it is?" On my saying that I did not understand, she went on: "It is the eve of St. George's Day. Do you not know that tonight, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will have full sway? Do you know where you are going, and what you are going to?" She was in such evident distress that I tried to comfort her, but without effect. Finally, she went down on her knees and implored me not to go; at least to wait a day or two before starting. It was all very ridiculous but I did not feel comfortable. However, there was business to be done, and I could allow nothing to interfere with it. I tried to raise her up, and said, as gravely as I could, that I thanked her, but my duty was imperative, and that I must go. She then rose and dried her eyes, and taking a crucifix from her neck offered it to me. I did not know what to do, for, as an English Churchman, I have been taught to regard such things as in some measure idolatrous, and yet it seemed so ungracious to refuse an old lady meaning so well and in such a state of mind. She saw, I suppose, the doubt in my face, for she put the rosary round my neck and said, "For your mother's sake," and went out of the room. A respectable gentleman's scent: lavender, iris, white tea, verbena and white sandalwood. First off, let me say first review! Yay! After that being said. In the bottle: Mostly verbena and tea. There are hints of lavender and iris but the verbena and tea over power everything to my nose. The fiancee slaughtered some all over him after a few sniffs. My wrist: Verbena and tea, mostly. The lavender and iris are ducking it out to try to dominate each other. The sandelwood is there but hiding. This has a lot of throw in this stage, the mix wafting about me. I could smell my fiancee half way across the room in this. 5 Minutes later: Tea and Verbena are tempered and the lavender is out in the front as its rightful place. Just wearing this makes me feel posh and cultured, dare I say. 20 minutes later: The verbena and the tea are now fading away but still keeping the clean, crisp feeling. The lavender is calming and the sandelwood is adding a nice smooth depth to it. If there is Iris in here my nose cannot pick it up yet. This blend reminds me a lot of Usher, which as in drydown Usher keeps a very dustiness that feels as though you have been prouncing about crypts. This is Usher's older smoother brother, a blend perfect for just wanting to put more of a sophisicated air then normal. A perfect gender-neutral scent. Another Order of Dragon Scent well done.

Soft and blue with the fizziness associated with gin. To me, it's like a blue version of Velvet pink Kitty but with more of a blue feel then Velvet pink kitty. It would be absolutely perfect for spring and the summer time. I'm glad to have tried it (GC Version) Soft blueberry tinged gin with the fruitiness of the papaya coming up. Bottle worthy.

Oh Cedar you once again win out. I was hoping more for the chocolate soaked peppermint, the pistachio, vanilla, anything! But the Cedar clubbed everything else, and comfortably stole the show during the wet phase. It was only during the dry phase that some of the other elements poked out, and melded together. As my DH, mentioned when I let him sniff it. It smells earthy. So earthy it is. Might be a nice sleeping scent. Lasts a long time, but sticks close to the skin.

The Scent is soft and gentle. On me the white chocolate, osiris and coconut are most prominent on me but I don't mind. It reminds me of the original 13 (White Label) a lot (I think it may be the white chocolate) and it just fits. This scent fits and it's GC to boot. So so so glad to have this scent. The white chocolate and the coconut doesn't change much with the other notes in the background. Lasts a good 6 hours or more on me.

Since my beloved Tempest is gone, it's now off to hunt what may smell as good as it did on myself in relations to the Ozone. Red Rose fits the bill, but it's an Le and I usually slather this stuff during night time. The Lavender is nice and subdued with the sparkling of the white musk coming up to pass. The ozone is there, and it's lovely giving a sharp edge but not as much as I liked it within tempest. I'm glad I got to try it, but unfortunately it's not what I was looking for. There is a hint of black current but not as much as anyone else is getting.

When I first tried this ,a familiar scent wafted about me. Where have I smelled something like this and then it hit me! It's a more etheral Black Moon (06') on me. I covet that bottle, so to find something so similar to me in reach and taste is amazing. Thanks to the lab for this, now if you'll just excuse my nose and wrist.

When the scent was first put on, I wasn't terribly blown away. It was basically like White Moon with a bit of snow. (I Haven't tried the original chaste moon though I really wanted to gather a bottle of it). Milk notes tend to not like my skin, they don't really get the full effect and seem to burn off. The Crystalline musk and the flowers seem very fitting actually and dry down into something wonderful. Barely there blooms, with soft musks and sweet milk. It's really really amazing and puts me in a sense of calm. Time to put out an ISO for a bit more. I love it!

Out of the bottle, and straight on the skin it was an explosion of coconut and tobacco. Very subtle and almost reminds me of the thickness that Red Lantern has (without the poppy, thank you!). As it dries down the Tabacco, and the vanilla tea take center stage with the musk holding everything together with a subtle vibrant sparkle. The flowers don't come out very much but as it dries down, the floral hint fills up and continues to glow. It gives me a bit of a headache, but it makes me feel very sexy. The combination of all the notes, is sweet without foody and just as gourmand. I'm glad to have tried it, and will cherish my bottle.

A memory of pleasure passed. A ghostly rendezvous, delight beyond death. Faint echoes of laughter and the distorted music of a harp drift by, along with the scent of soft white pear and sweet vanilla. It's very juicy pear on me with soft vanilla on the background, and as it dries here's the wierd part; a hint of dustiness comes forward and a tiny bit of musk I think. It's really nice sleeping scent and good on cool autumn days.

The bottle and the image was the one that I loved the most. Cherries, Cream and vanilla. Thankfully all of those notes go lucky on me, but when I got the bottle the Cherries once again ruined the scent for me. Bah. It smelled like a cheap candle. I so wanted this blend to work but it's not for me.

In the bottle it's everything I've ever wanted in a blend, but like Bloody Mary unfortunately and sadly, the cherries turn into cheap plastic candies. The vanilla is true, but is kind of overshadowed by the candleness, and the strawberry took a train back to the farm because those two are ruining everything for them. That about sums it up, I remember it being better when I first got it but couldn't really tell but now it's clear. These scents just don't like me. I'm very sad about this one because I love cherries.

The cake notes on this don't actually come out until dry-down for me. Upon initial swipe, it was all soft woods and snake oil. The Cupcakes weren't as pronounced but the soft tang from the frosting was there. The cakes get more pronounced as the cake dries, and the snake oil and the Doc lift it up and ground it. I'm not a big foody person, but this was a nice surprise and I'm glad I got to try it (and not hunt down a bottle!)

Aquatics and me get along. If there's some wood in there, it'll be fine too and some flowers usually don't give it pause but yea. Me and the salty sea notes are bffs. So when I noticed this bottle, I was iffy. Chthulu is strong cologne but this sounds heavenly. As the reviews came in, I was graced a decant and eagerly tried it. OMG, the softest whiff of smokey incense with deep boomslangish chocolate; the aquatics giving a faint effervescent note. It is utterly divine. The chocolate note sticks, where the aquatics fade away as it dries keeping the salt note and the incense. Smokey Salty Sea Chocolates. I am so pleased to have this and can't wait for my bottle to arrive.

When it was first released, I kicked myself. Fruitish salty aquatic? Those love me. I always mourned not getting Selkie when it was released (and I had more funds) fast forward four years, and I finally found a bottle. Yea! Let's do a quick review. First on the wrist, soft melony tinged moss and breezes. Sweet, Salty and earthy smelling without really lending adherence to each other. A bit perfumey, but more with the moss aspect of Kiyohime changes into a Serpant. It's last since I put it on three hours, where it dries down to a soft melon tinged moss. It has aged wonderfully and is still very wonderful. I'm so glad I have a bottle and I will cherish it.

I smell the snake oil, it's a note that I'm becoming familiar with in my bottle of Green Tea Viper. It's almost a slithery Candy Butcher to my nose, but not quite. The spices from the actual snake oil come out as the Teak grounds it all (Woods playing nice on my skin. I couldn't see it to believe it) . The rice milk grounds it adding a candy like quality to the skin and very huffable. It tempers down, and I know I'm in love. Bottle in the future, most definitely.

Every kid wants a pet magah bird! A prism of scent, an explosion of multi-colored feathers: blood orange, black plum, sugar cane, guava, frangipani, coconut, pimento berry, violet, caramel, and pear. I can definitely tell what people say, it's fruit loops in the vial! As soon as it hits my skin, a creaminess takes over with the rest of the fruits gathering around. I can't really place what it smells like but all the different fruits are vying for attention. Ah, I get it now; it's the pear that's doing that. It's amping subtly on my skin with whatever the cream note I'm getting from. I think it may be coming from the coconut, so I nod to the other folks that manage this as a tropical drink. The violet isn't taking off and ruining most of this, so I'm rather happy about that and it's grounding the fruits better. It a super fruity purfume, I think along the same vien as Fruit Moon' which folks really love. I'm glad I got to try it. Thank you BuxomM and the Orphanage Swap.

Moist cupcakes surrounded by deep ladened buttercream frosting. I do smell a bit of the filth, a small hint of the dirt note grounding out the cream and the cupcake. It smells almost like a runaway hit for the Candy Butcher actually to my nose. Just a tad lighter then the latter. As it dries it's about the same as wet. I have a good bottle of the Candy Butcher so I don't need this, but I'm glad to be able to try it. Thank you BuxomM and the Orphanage swap

Thank you to BuxomM and the Orphanage swap for letting me try this. From the Vial it smells fruity; that's kind of odd. Oh yea, I can recognize that note now. It's the White rose, one of the only roses that don't go soapy on me (at least I hope so). It's sweet and nice. Kind of reminds me of a softer Zarta on me, which I think is the cream making it's rounds. It's so soft and delightful, I'm kind of sad I wasn't around to pick this up during the last Halloween though it is at least more similar to Zarita in drydown and the wet smell. But while the orange blossom stays in Zarita, Katrina is drying down softly and more pronounced. :Whine: Based on the description, I knew I would love this and I do! I might have to track down a bottle of this scent if I can, or gaze longingly at my tiny decent and enjoying the fragrence that wafts. I wish Hope/Faith was as kind to me as this. :love:

CT4: CMV: It definately smells like bubblegum in the bottle, aquatic so. Reminds me of the old cough syrups I used to eat as a kid (or was forced to it). I almost gagged a little but whatever it smells in the bottle definitely different on the skin and by jolly does it morph! As soon as it hits the skin there's sandalwood, a bit of woods in the background with some patchouli. It reminds me of Hemlock and Seraphim without the rose in the background. Well there might be some rose in the background, almost akind to Parlement of Foules. That's what it's reminding me of, a dead ringer for Parlement of Foules or Seraphim! Thanks for the Karma Swap Lamia For this bottle! It sticks close to the skin. I believe there is some type of rose in there it's making me a bit dizzy but not too bad. There may be myrrh and frankincense. As it dries, there is a sweet hay like smell to it and the caramelizes of the tonka. It almost reminds me of a heavy myrrh and sweet tombstone; it's really nice.

The Luminous feeling is very similar (grassy vibrancy) that I get from Fire Pig and again from Fairy Market; where fairy market tampers off into a soft incense and Fire Pig well burns off pretty fast; I get the same wet stage from both of those from this. Very grassy with the moon sap tempering it; it's a very pretty springtime scent. Now a soft flowerish scent comes out; it reminds me of Dandelion sap from Roadhouse; the drydown is almost very similar to that with the sap tempering it. Replace the cigarette smoke and it would almost be side to side with it. All in all this is a very pretty pretty scent, I love moon anything and this makes no exception. To those that found Fairy Market to be too incensy, try this one and it may be the blend for you. I will gladly be keeping this bottle.

Fresh from the lab. As I put it on first things first is the wine note. It stays true on my skin, and the familar edge of the dragon's blood is creeping up trying to temper the rose. But the Rose is trying, and it's growing soapy. Here's seeing what it may be as it dries. So far, rose soapiness is turning out on my skin heh. It fades and the soapiness is still there with the softness of the cherry from the Dragon's blood resin. I'm glad I got to try it, but roses are hit and miss with their soapiness.

Holy Flowers Batman! (hehe see what I did there) There's nothing that's really jumping out at me. It smells like just a soft breeze past a flower garden, with the scent of fresh cut stems and flowers. It's very springlike, getting lighter as it dries to almost a whisper on my wrist. You really have to dig your nose close because it sticks close to the skin. The wierdest thing, on drydown it almost reminds me of Victoria's Secret Strawberries and Champange. It's fine on my skin but really not for me, and I'm glad I got to try it. If there is woods, it's not doing nasty things to my skin which is a good thing. This is a soft nice, floral blend.

Notorious for its properties for protection against werewolves and curing lycanthropy, this nefarious plant also has a fine history of use as a virulent poison. Clasically, Medea employed it in her many works of vengeance. This concoction of ours has none of the lethal qualities, but still personifies all of the herb's dark history beautifully. Upon my skin, Ceder my nemesis comes forward but he doesn't seem to be wanting to make a throw to my skin. It actually is tempered with I think bay leaf in the background giving it a soft peppery bite. There's almost a dew like substance to cut through all the greenery but it's still very nice. It seems to fade after a moment, the bite leaving it. I could see this being very sexy on a man but on me, it's better off as wood clippings. Glad to try it, but not for me.

Incense Rose is the first thing that comes to my head. I get a small fit of dizziness as I sniff closer to the scent as it's wet. I wonder if there's poppy or something of the like within it. Curious. As it dries, I swear there is some juniper smell and some moss component in there. It reminds me of a complex Seraphim and/or Rose Cross with how it dries on me; there is a bit of smoke almost enwrapping me. Now that I actually look at the component list, I'm way off base with a few notes. The Gardenia is actually causing the dizziness but oddly enough the Tea rose, Vanilla and Jasmine are playing nice. It's a really soft and pretty blend and drying it makes me feel like a sophisticated lady but Gardenia makes my head swim so sadly I have to pass.
