Dark Alice

Smells like heaven. But it starts out like hell. Wet: There is something in this that burns the back of my throat. It's just harsh and burning. Dry: It's like this lovely, dry, sweet pipe tobacco blooms on my skin. It's amazing. I got a decant today and had to order a bottle. It's just that good. So glad I tried. it.

At first, Gorgeous plum and tea. Dry...nasty, cherry blossom air freshner. Bleh.

On me this smells like Tattered Lace is involved in a sex party. Sweet, slightly sticky, with a hint of florals. Not a fan. But it is very pretty.

Autumn cider smells like pure apple cider. The spice is stronger. Have you tried other Apple scents? Apple is one of my favorite notes, so if you ever have a question on Recommendations, just let me know.

Cologney but in a good way. I think I need a partial of this but no more or less.

This smells like fresh ink and paper off the press. Old fashioned printing press...but a press and paper nonetheless. And the rose is just off. Good Lord.

The saffron in this upsets my stomach something fierce. UGH. I can't even bear to try it out.

Man I wish this had more PEAR!!! This is the vanilla from Faith on me, with the orris giving it that violetish note. It really is a stunner...but I need more pear! *sigh*

The amber and honey in this is luscious. Warm, dripping, and just wonderful. The wood is soft, non-intrusive and perfect. This will age like a champ. I foresee a bottle purchase in the future.

First off...vetiver. Good Grief...*wet* As it dries the vanilla comes out....but it is barely there on me. Oddly enough, the white leather isn't strong here either which is odd b/c I amp leather. The sandalwood has softened this up quite a bit so I am left with a smooth sandalwood, light vanilla with a wisp of white leather scent on me. Not a true fan but I am glad I got to try it.

The lily is the strongest note when wet. The grey amber keeps it in check the frankincense is barely there and the pink pepper is non-existent on me. The clove note adds to the mirror image this invokes. Whether porn or a looking glass...this scent is aptly named. I am very glad I got to try it.

Fancy Patchouli, fig, with a hint of benzoin. Meh. Not my thing...but it is going to a better home.

This is an earthy spring time scent. White incense to my nose=earth...but not dirt. The lemon is strong, but it is very clean smelling. Not like Lysol clean...but like you have wiped your counters down with fresh lemon juice and water. This is so light and unobtrusive. It will go well for the days I wish to wear something light and bright but not strong.

The frankincense is gorgeous. But the benzoin smells almost like mild menthol with the barest hints of vanilla. This is light and unobtrusive. I will keep it in the dark for a month to see how it ages.

Dragon's blood and white honey. The cream isn't really prominent. I enjoy this. But I think aging it will make it spectacular.

This is gorgeous. Violet sugary wood. It reminds me of a very light candy heart for Valentine's day without the nasty chemical note. It's gorgeous. This will require a back up bottle.

This review summed it up perfectly. I may have to make one more order for it...it's just that good. Light on the marshmallow but that vanilla note on the final drydown is AL's cousin. LOVE!

My favorite of the three. Gorgeous Frankincense with little to no perum balsam. Just gentle, soft frankincense. I love it.

A boozy, deep coffee flavored black patchouli. This is occupy Wallstreet with too much coffee liquor in it. This has to be washed off. UGH.

This is a lighter version of Lemon Scented sticky bat. Here the lemon is not strong at all nor is the sugar. It's there...and then it's gone. Not a fan. But I am glad I got to try it.

Sweet blueberries in syrup, cool whip cream, with a hint of crust. It is so light and lovely. I may need a bottle of this b/c the cream does not go funky on me. So delicious.

I smell tuberose, plum, the barest hints of vanilla and something herbal. Weird. Glad I got to try it though.

Peach. When You first smell it...fresh juicy peach that is just cut open. As it dries....Peach pie filling from a can. Dead on. No crust. No sugar. Just peach pie filling. Alas, I will have to keep looking for my peach scent b/c this one is just too sweet.

A sweetened version of Little Egypt minus the sweet flag. I have sweet caramel! I do love the frankincense/myrrh/caramel combo. But this will be a one in a while scent and I need to track down a partial...but no more.

Wooden, ashy patchouli with touches of fig and Pomegranate. The wood over powers what other wise would be a lovely fruity, resinous scent. So glad I got the chance to try it.
