doomsday_disco Report post Posted February 24 There is our wildest mount- a headless horse. But though it runs unbridled off its course, And all our chocolatiers would seem defied, We have ideas yet that we haven’t tried. Dark chocolate, leather, sweet myrrh, tobacco absolute, and black amber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bheansidhe Report post Posted April 3 (edited) Leather first, chocolate second - and this is a black and crisp leather, a severe leather, a designer black trenchcoat equally fitting for a post-runway brunch or an S&M munch. The chocolate: also black and bitter; a confetti snowfall of Valrhona Guanaja Dark vigorously microplaned into the pockets of that leather coat -- FOR LATER, for a SNACK, for AMBIANCE, to flavor the pouch of TOBACCO you tucked in there for safekeeping and not for any, ANY, nefarious purposes whatsoever -- though you certainly SMELL nefarious, and dangerous, and delicious, and darkly resinous -- only from a close distance, mind -- and nothing like a dessert. ETA: while this has low throw, it has staying power! The next day I'm getting zero leather, just a gorgeous chocolatey amber with some dark notes underneath. I love love the second stage and am willing to put up with my least favorite iteration of leather to get down to it. Edited April 4 by bheansidhe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LavenderCoffee Report post Posted yesterday at 12:16 AM I just recently got into my imp of black rider before the lupers dropped so I was hype about this one. The OG lists opoponax and this one has sweet myrrh, but I enjoy myrrh, not to mention chocolate, so it seemed like a win/win! There are choco-blobbies in the oil so I agitated it a bit, but my skin makes this a very fuzzy amber myrrrrrh party anyway, to the point that I can't find much chocolate and only a distant backdrop of leather. I'm not mad about it, it's just not what I expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doomsday_disco Report post Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Alas, this one is not for me. I'm getting an unexpected strong, dark musk with the leather on my skin, backed by the resins and tobacco (although they are far in the background), with no chocolate in sight. Wahh! Where's my chocolate!? And why art thou here, musk!? Edited 2 hours ago by doomsday_disco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
