So cuteee!!

cherry chocolate with a dash of something nutty. ...but at the same time... ..not foody? As it dries down, I'm noticing a slight floral in there.. which is why it doesn't seem too foody :whew!!: It kind of reminds me of Turkish Delight! Nice.. not a big bottle purchase, but it truly is nummy ata: dot my eyes and add some ohs.

sexual bliss... mixed with the innocence of youth. It's the perfect cinnamon spice blended with something full and perhaps creamy? I don't get that "OMFGAHH" burn that I associate with cinnamon :looks at Bengal: It's so mellow and warm and definitely sexual. It evokes memories of my teen years.. when I'd chew cinnamon gum and then make out with my boyfriend This will have to be a bottle purchase!!!

MCCCLXXI (1371) Amber, Lily OT Valley, and Egyptian Musk I ordered mine last minute when they should have been gone, but were still up for several days.. teehee? I am Sooooo happy that I went for it!! The color the of juice is a dark snake oil color. in the bottle, I smell subtle spices and amber and either egyptian musk, or possibly patchouli. I don't smell patchouli much, so it must be a dark musk like egyptian or even european musk (but I am not sure if the lab uses much european musk?) Once I dab some on my skin, it opens up and blooms and well.. there's some white flowers in there. Perhaps some lily of the valley? Something airy and blossomy.. but the fact that there's some dark musk and amber, it's keeping the Lily (?) in check! As it starts to dry, the lily (?) fades to the background and the amber and musk sweeten up just a little... Again.. I couldn't be any happier! It's almost like the lab did some sort of jedi mind trick and heard my plea's of "please give me something dark and sweet... oh please..." I bet this will age ohhh soooo beautifully!!! I can't wait!! Yay for an awesome Chaos Theory!!

Divine! This is mint and snake oil.. all the freaking way. It's not that harsh mint that you can sometimes get that can burn your nose, this is that mint that's for dessert. The perfect amount of snake oil behind it adds to it.. making it so sweetly sexy. There's a little bit of green tea behind it, just making it a bit airy, but not compromising the overall effect at all. Just beautiful...

Gorgeous! The rose dominates, and the apple and lemon add a bit of tart and sweetness. I amp rose like nothing else, which is fine cus I loves me some rose! I really can't smell too much behind it all, but I know that it's there so it's easier to pick out For me.. a rose amper.. this is like other rose blends that I have (every thing with rose in it, might as well be a SN rose on me!) It's lovely though!!!

Holy cow this is sexy autumn in a bottle... I get a bit herbal (not sharp herbs, more laid back awesome herbs) and like everyone else... Apples!! It's so warm and comforting.. I get clove on top of it all with a bit of the woodiness underneath, and it's not so much apples... but the idea of the sweet red fruits of autumn. I happen to like smelling like an autumn candle so Overall : Non foody / fruity Autumnness galore! This will age very well... and it will be in constant rotation!!!

Aquatics and flowers. Not much clay... still searching for incense. Veryyy clean and bright. Almost like the sun reflecting off of ice covered flowers. I don't get mint at all, but it's got that "cool" feel to it... it's more water than ice. very pretty, but not quite me. But I am more of a scary dark earth gurl than a frilly snow bunny But don't get me wrong.. it's very very beautiful. I probably wont reach for it that often, so I'll pass it on as a frimp

Soft child like sweetness. Very drowsy and innocent. This kind of reminds me of Kubla Khan, minus the leather, and add some ginger. Mainly a smokey champaca flower.. soft light incense tinged with some soft baby like peppery sweet florals. Some of the opium smoke is popping through now, but it's not too overpowering. Hmm.. a bit of sweetness towards the end of the drydown.. Very pretty indeed.

Beautiful!! This can easily replace Bengal as my favoritest cinnamon perfume. Perfect amount of cinnamon (not too much to cause irritation but just enough to smell it!) It's not a "red hots" type of cinnamon. It's calm and spicy. The vanilla sweetens it up and quite possibly it's the vanilla that keeps it from becoming "red hots" on my skin. I love cinnamon, but it burns like nothin else usually. I don't get any burn! Yay!! The clove is underneath that, and I do get a slight amount of pine, but not enough to pick out. Just enough to keep it balanced and earthy. This is absolutely gorgeous and hoard worthy!

In Neil's words, 'It smells like green apples and like sex and vampires, all at the same time. (Actually, it smells like sexy vampire apples.)' This isn't just a crispy apple.. cus crispy apples are usually tart. But this isn't tart. This is the perfect apple. One that is sooo crispy, but when you :bite: into it.. it's actually sweet and not smooshy like the sweet ones usually are. Then you get mint (top lip is now minty fresh due to sniffin my wrist and it touched my lip...teehee!) And... a bit of deep down fresh earth underneath it all. Something sinister lyin in that thar apple. The kind that you give to Beauty when you want to rub her out cause she's makin you feel less purdy. Stupid Beauty... TAKE THAT!!! Over time the sweetness lessens and the darkness encroaches and makes you feel sinful and sweet. People think you're such a sweetheart. But you are sooo cleaver, and deep down you know that you are sooo much worse than what they think, but let them be duped cus you know whats up. They're worm food and you are gawdess of all. Feel my wrath. I will bake your apples bitches!!! Nummy dark minty dirty sexy nummy. edited to add description

I love my 10 ML. of Alice in a cobalt bottle. It's my preshus.

Interesting... I get super bright and astringant florals.. it smells like cheep perfume on me.. I'm not feeling this one too much. It's green, and super harsh white flowers.. but as it dries down, It calms down a bit and starts to warm up (probably the amber waking up from it's druken stupor) But it's still super perfumy on me... I really don't like this one too much... thank god it's just a half decant I'll give this one away. edited to correct stuff.

After reading the scent description, I was totally taken aback... how the heck does this work exactly??? I smell fruit! Like a ripe melon type of fruit. It's sooo juicy and delicious that I did the whole thing after reading the notes listed. Maybe there's a tad amount of incense, but it's so hidden by juicy nummy fruit. What's really the kicker is that I usually haaaate fruit and food scents.. but this is made of fantastic. As it dries down, I now get more of a slight fruit incense. It's got amazing staying power, and a nice throw!!! oh man.. this is a possible bottle purchase!!!

Very lovely and fresh spring scent. Like a nice cool cup of green tea steeped with flowers. Very nice, but I like my tea with sugar... Overall, It's a great concept, and a lovely scent... but a little too sharp for my scary and dark resiny tastes.
-
Oh how pretty!!! In my decant, it's a lovely violet/rose.. but once I spread it on my skin, the rose pops like crazy. This isn't just a regular rose, this is a super big fat red rose at the height of bloom. Perfect in every way. The vanilla sweetens it up just enough... not enough to be picked out, but I smell a sweet lovely rose so I know vanilla is in there calming that rose down and making it behave as a royal rose should. No other notes pop at me.. I just get a gorgeous rose which is fine by itself cause it's super lovely.

Mmm flowerish bubblegum! There's a bit of darkness that hovers in the background, but all I am getting is incense flavored bubble gum. As it dries down, I'm getting more incense and less bubblegum (yay for chemistry!) But something sharp is poking through. If I barely sniff.. it's sweet saccharin and myrrh..if I huff it's super duper sharp. Oh look!! Amber! Hiyah! Very nice... Such a roller coaster this one is! Sometimes it's soft amber, and other times it's sharp florals. Overall it's a pleasent blend. Bravo again Beth!

Mmm red musk is possibly one of my favorites. I would say that you should definitely try Mme. Moriarty from the Carniaval. Also, Hollywood Babylon is amazing. If you ever get lucky enough to find Corazon, it is very nice indeed. Good luck with Corazon as that one is a super rare, but Hollywood Babylon is a GC and can be purchased in imp form (in the Wanderlust catagory). The Carnaval is still in town so I'd say jump on Mme. quick like and stuff, cause that one is a winner and will be coveted once it comes down. Oh! And Midnight Kiss is lovely. It's an LE, but you can often see it floating around at a reasonable price!

I loves teh glow and glitta! In the bottle, the polish has that tell-tale greenish tint that means "yes... I glow" I see the lovely pastel glitter all up in it's guts. It wants me to put it on. So I roll it in my claws and pop that sucker open. As I apply it, I notice how easily it goes on the talons. Usually my polish either a.) drips all over the place and doesn't stay put, or b.) globs up on a part of the nail and resists spreading. This is like a perfect frosting going onto the nails. It smooths soooo perfectly!! I put about 3 coats on (for good measure and optimum glow!) and boy does this dry quick!! I have several glitter polishzez and this is by far the best!! I have to comment about the brush. It's stick straight and and not too floppy. I really really hate floppy flimsy nail brushes, cause they can go wonky and make polish go all over (See table leg for reference) I am putting my order in for more polishes NOW! Thanks Tradin' Post! You guys ROCK... again!! GET OVER YOURSELVES!! We all know that you know that we know that you guys make the best shit.

Holy love of gawd.... this is amazing. I bought it for a friend who loves teh foodies.. and of course I couldn't resist trying it for myself So yeah.. she can't have it. MINE!! In the bottle it's sweet sandalwood... on the skin it's sugar sandalwood with sweet spices making me drool like crazy. I can barely smell the booze so it's all good in my book.. This is by far...the BEST sandalwood blend in the whole freaking world. She's gonna give me the evil eye when she notices that half the bottle has been decanted into my stash

OH YES! Subtle spiced honey with a touch of blackberry and a tinge of tea to bring it back to earth and keep you from having a toothache. I agree with the aforementioned likeness to Dorian but less floral and more honey. Gimme more nowwwwww!!! So pretty.. it's Dorian's female counterpart. Welcome aboard Miss... we've been waitin for ya!

I am usually not too keen of Orange Blossom. That stuff gives me whiskey face. However, the lemon verbena is killing me with it's lovelyness. I love myself some lemon verbena.. I do smell sweet but with a cute little tart side in me that is waiting to pop out and say "seduce me old men!!" ...err... maybe not? But cereally.. this is lovely and fresh and tart and...mmmm fresh. Everything an old man would want in a wanton young girl. To sum it up... Lemon Verbena spa lovelyness... and it's a keeper.

*kicks self in ass multiple times* Why god... did I pass this up???? I was scared at the word "mead" cause booze and I are like oil and water... But I got a decant from my Lovely witch.. and I can't believe how big of a fool I was to pass this by!!! Dumbdumbdumb!!! But Holy mother of god this is fantastic!!! It's not like a foody honey at all *YAY!* It's a sweet herbal honey with a tish tash of citrus just barely peeking it's head through. And I mean barely. The clove is very mellow.. as is the nutmeg. I think I was scared that this would be a foody/alcohol blend.. which is just pure evil on me. But my god... This is fantastic. It's pure joy and I will require more.

Slippery Poppy Tincture
heathercaley replied to Leopard403's topic in Doc Constantine's Pharmacopoeia
Hmmm... my snoot is actually enjoying... Poppy?! Poppy and I are enemies. We hate each other. Never have gotten along ever. But this isn't bad at all!!! Y'know why? My happy friends Acai and Honey are like... "Yo girl.. I can vouch for Poppy..." and I'm giving Poppy the stinky eye, but I can tolerate it.. for now. I can see the evil lurking around, but Honey and Acai are making things friendly. I'll hang out for a bit and see how Poppy handles me. For now... I'll give Poppy a slight nod and hope that Honey and Acai don't abandon me as the smellz progress. -
Wow! Very clean!! It's got the depth of Egyptian Musk, but before it can go deeper, it's snapped to attention by aloe which makes it watery and fresh. I do detect a wittle bittle bit of vanilla, but not enough to make me go crazy. I must say I was excited with the idea of vanilla flower, Egyptian musk, and sandalwood, but the aloe dominates just a tad too much. It's very refreshing, and I can see myself wearing this after a spa day. I'm happy with my decant, and probably won't buy a bottle. It's very very nice, just a little too fresh for me.
