an earthy floral, very piney wet, but the pine tones down a bunch on dry down
i lurve it, i'm not a *huge* fan of florals, but this is one that just makes me happy
it's definitely a more formal feeling perfume than, say, loviatar
it doesn't smell like just roses to me, though, which is why i say floral rather than just rose.

i love rose red, it's the smell of a JUST cut rose, i was and am absolutely amazed that elizabeth captured that smell
i got it for my mom and my apartment smelled so pretty for awhile because there had been some on the plastic or on the box
i'm sooo sad i didn't get to buy some
but my mom is thrilled beyond belief, it's the rose scent she's always been looking for

this is from something i wrote earlier this month...
today i'm wearing bruja - i'm not sure why, it's utterly shitty out, been snowin' for a little bit more than 24hr, doesn't seem to be stoppin any time soon. ok, so i do know why, lilacs are a fond sign o spring and this is very lilac-y, even if it's not the pure and innocent lilac from spring (probably the myrrh and amber, but i'm not too sure what myrrh smells like)...while i wouldn't say it's an old lady scent, i'm fond of it as a room scent

i'm just loving on voodoo right now. patchouli and vanilla, and something murkier (the myrrh or vetier), with a hint of almond.. sex all the way, but totally different than, say, snake oil. snake oil's more of a slithery "come hither and let me seduce you" and voodoo's more of a "you come here and seduce me"

i like this scent, rather calming
but it's one i'm going to have to bond with more to describe

i told the bust scent thread:
it was very fruity wet - it reminded me of those powder sugar covered fruit jelly candies with nuts in em that one of my relatives always give us for christmas. not straight, but after the sugar's been licked off [where you can taste the powdered sugar and smell a huge hit of ripe fruit and depending on the brand, a small bit of nut]. now, it's a soft fruit with a little bit of powderbut, i thought that the apricot was rather overwhelming when it was wet and i don't particularly care for apricots the fruit, so i guess its not really a huge surprise that i didn't care for the apricot in the scent
after awhile, though, it chilled out on the apricot and was good, the floral and musk were more prominant.. but that initial wet *I AM APRICOT HEAR ME ROAR* stage totally turns me off of the perfume.
so, it's one of the ones that ended up in my mom's pile of bpal after i culled my collection of samples.

it smells like my ex boyfriend's leather jacket, complete with his sandalwoody cologne. warm fuzzies for the memories, but it's a very aggressive perfume.
