Hot Buttered Snake Oil

[doomsday_disco]

Who doesn’t want a hot, buttery snake? Spiced buttered rum splooshed into Snake Oil with a bit of molasses and cream.

Granted, I just plucked this out of the mail carrier’s hands about 10 minutes ago, but this smells exactly as you’d expect, and the spice (mainly cinnamon) is much more prominent than I thought it would be. I know it still needs to settle from the mail shock but even so this is glorious! I’ll update after it has a chance to calm down a bit. Hopefully it doesn’t morph too much ????

Fiery cinnamon buttered rum!!! Creamy Snake Oil goodness! I’m obsessed ?

I’m Snake Oil ambivalent (except for my beloved Snake in the Carnations) but this sounded too good to pass up. It’s strong SO with extra sweetness that my nose reads as almost maple. Nice and definitely worth a try but I’m good with just the decant.

I thought that I'd hate this after my experience with Hot Buttered Apple Cider, which was way too buttery and sweet for me. But actually, this is not super buttery or cloying at all. The musk and spices of the Snake Oil are most prominent here, spiced further by the spiced rum and sweetened up by the molasses. I'm not getting a buttery note from the cream or the musty patchouli that was in some of last year's Snake Oil Yule variants. And it has decent staying power, too -- I applied this around 9 AM yesterday and could still smell it on the back of my hand 12 hours later.

 

The only downside to this is that it never ends up morphing into the good Snake Oil vanilla phase after all of that time. It's mostly just molasses-sweetened Snake Oil by the end of the day. So I don't really feel the need to grab more of this, but I'll probably hang onto my decant.
