Jenjin Report post Posted February 17 Red roses, heady Moroccan musk, cinnamon, lobelia, coconut flesh, magnolia blossoms, and tobacco tar. Could you hurt me, sweet lips, though I hurt you? Men touch them, and change in a trice The lilies and languors of virtue For the raptures and roses of vice; Those lie where thy foot on the floor is, These crown and caress thee and chain, O splendid and sterile Dolores, Our Lady of Pain.

BetteNoire Report post Posted March 26 Lovely jammy rose and while I was concerned that coconut would go to that sunscreen/cheap body splash place, it doesn't - just is a warm and creamy note. This is so lovely but my skin found the cinnamon even if my nose didn't (hives) - so I'll either have to re-home or use exclusively in my scent locket.

doomsday_disco Report post Posted April 17 (edited) Note: I never tried the original version, and the notes in this did not speak to me, but I decided to grab a decant due to the glowing reviews of the original. And I have no idea what lobelia smells like and didn't even know it was a flower until I looked it up. I just see that word and can't help but to think of the "Lobeliiiiiaaaa!" scenes from Ouran High School Host Club. 😅 Anyways. This has a GC feel to me. At first, I only get the musk, which is much lighter than I was expecting, but then the rose joins in, and it ends up being a predominantly musky floral scent throughout wear, mixed with some coconut (which is more noticeable later on in wear) and magnolia. Curiously enough, the cinnamon and tobacco did not show up on me, which is unexpected, as those are notes that are generally forces to be reckoned with. 😅 This really isn't in my wheelhouse, as there's not enough sweetness with the rose for me, but I'm glad I got to try this resurrected scent!

roseus Report post Posted June 9 I totally agree this has a GC vibe to it, very classic BPAL. Velvety red rose and coconut are the standouts on me with spicy musk and heady magnolia trailing behind. The coconut makes this summery but not tropical. As it wears I get more tobacco, and after a few hours it fades to spicy slightly floral tobacco scent. I'm in love!

RoseThornAndOak Report post Posted August 6 I'm getting sweet, tropical, almost verging on Red Lantern coconut + floral with a hint of spice. This is a warm coconut plus extra sexy floral cousin, less gooey rich than RL, more spicey/dry, floral rich. I picture a beach at night, with a night market warmed with candlelight, tall ships in the distance, with humid tropical, night blooming florals gracing the air. There are spices, tea, tobacco, fresh coconut, and green sugar cane wands for purchase. Heaven, I'm in Heaven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
