I just get baby powder. Even hours later. Disappointed.

2005 version: All I get is tea... black tea at that? WTH, nose? I'll try it again when I'm not getting sick and see how I fair, but I am gutted. "

Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

Has anyone found something similar to Sacrifice? I've just received a sniffle and oh my god! I think I just died and went to heaven. Guh. -
I can smell coconut. It's very medicinal, I'll try it a little bit longer, but I don't think it's for me.
-
I am completely in love. Oh goodness. It's sweet and smoky and total love. I don't usually like opium but in this it's absolutely beautiful. Of all the DD scents I've tried this is far and away my favourite. Mmm. I've just got a bottle to go with my half an imp. I need more now!
-
I want to like it, I really do but it's giving me a headache. *whimpers* (well it's either that or the Haloes I have on my other wrist... *ponders*) Either way, swap pile.
-
It's wonderful and spicy! Like Minotaur in parts. I LOVE me some woods and this ticks all my boxes! Definitely my favourite of the retail only scents I have.
-
I don't normally like sweet or vanilla based scents but this one is quite tolerable. It's sweet without it being overly sweet but I'm not sure I would wear it every single day. It's almost peaceful. But the vanilla amps up after a while leaving it a little too sickly for me. Swap pile I think.
-
I get lime when it hits my skin, kind of like Whitechapel goes on me... but I'm pretty sure lime isn't in it? It's a wonderful, refreshing fragrence that seems comforting to me (it may be the fact that it also reminds me of Villain) I like it, and wouldn't mind a bottle of it when I can afford it. Definitely in my top 10, maybe top 5.
-
Oh god this blend is beautiful. In the bottle all I could smell was the leather (which usually hates me) but on my skin it's deep and yet light in turns. The vanilla comes out and tempers the leather but there's also pine? (I'm not sure if pine is in it) I really need to stop sniffing my wrist lol! A big bottle in my future, me thinks.
-
OMG! I think I have a new favourite scent! I'm still not good at reviews but here goes; In Bottle: There's something sweet about it. Patchouli. On me: Oh dear God! The leather comes out sharp. I'm not usually a fan of leather in scents (well not sharp, full on leather like De Sade) but this is tempered by the patchouli and I think the vanilla (I'm also not a fan AT ALL of vanilla, but this isn't too bad) and the lemon rind is blended very well. I love the woody, leathery scent. Top 3, definitely. Probably Top 1 tied with Casanova (which it sort of smells like) and Villain. Guh, thank you, Beth!
-
Starts off sickly, floral but mellows into a soft, almost spicy scent. No good at picking notes out so can't really give a proper review, but I can definitely smell floral. Nice but with others I've tried today not really something I'd wear. Off to swaps.
-
... Her scent is that of a lightless fir wood, nighttime air, wet forest mosses and upturned earth. Sweet pine, almost sickly when wet and from the bottle. Mellows down a bit after a while but not enough for me. Too sweet for me, it amps up the wrong things and it isn't something I'd wear despite me loving pine. Off to swaps
-
Spicey, something dark and yet familiar, sweet. It is an aquired scent I will have to try again to see if it really works on me. The jury is out still
-
Woah, lemon! A cross between lemonade and lemon boiled sweets. A pleasant scent but not for me. I was gutted I didn't get the lavender everyone else did, I love lavender Might keep it though and give it another go later, I really want the lavender!
-
Peachy! Very peachy but with other notes that I can't put my finger on but I don't particularly like. It's cloying and far too sweet for me. Makes me feel a little sick and I had to wash it off (although I can still smell it! ) I'm not sure about the good luck or the depression, I couldn't keep it on long enough.
-
Almost soapy, and not really smoky for me A shame, I had high hopes for this off. Swap pile, away!
-
Smells sweet on me, almost like cherries or Bakewell Pudding... there is wood and musk underneath it. It's okay, a pleasant scent but I don't think I'll be getting a bigger bottle. Not sure whether it has the intended effect, I guess I will see in July with my SO
-
Mint and eucalyptus (even though it's not in it... I don't think) it almost smells like a slightly stronger Jabberwocky except with mint instead of eucalyptus. Smells clean instead of the dark and murky I was expecting, it smells like mint imperials I don't know if I like it enough for a big bottle but it's nice and I will enjoy my imp of it.
-
Sweet and herby to start off with. A comforting smell without being too strong. Smells woody and slightly fresh without being too cloying. A nice scent, in my top 10 at the moment. I don't get the musk that everyone else does, at the moment, but we'll see when it dries down fully. I'm not sure if I'll buy a bottle yet but it's wonderful.
-
This is very lavendery and very lemony, comforting and calming in turns. I'm pretty sure though that it gave me nightmares instead of taking them away lol. My mum also tried this before she went to bed as she suffers from nightmares so I'll talk to her and add her review later. I might try this again tonight though as I really like the scent of it.
-
A little more floral than what I'm used to but this is a nice, complex, all round perfume I think will grow on me. On me it is mostly amber and sandlewood and the violet pokes it's head through and get amped up, making it a little sweeter than what I'm used to. No big bottle I think but I will definitely enjoy my imp
-
This lures you into a sense of security and I'm not sure how much is simply suggestion but it's heady and oddly comforting and yet in that dangerous 'you know you shouldn't, but you can't help yourself' kind of way. I only seem to get the poppy out, none of the 'root beer' kind of smell. I don't think I'll be getting a big bottle but I will use this for those special occasions.
-
Woah! Vicks! That shot of eucalyptus really woke me up, and helped my blocked nose. Afterwards it fades out to a nice orangey/piney scent that's soft and a little powerdery in places. I won't be getting a full bottle, but the imp I will enjoy and trust to give me that first jolt of the day when I need waking up
-
Wonderful and clean smelling and light enough I can get away with it for work. I love it, the lavender really comes out on me and a few other notes that I can detect but love. Definitely my 'going to work' scent! 5ml (probably 10ml lol) bottle territory!
