If your top 5 scents are... Then try these!

[Rhiannonn]

OK I'll play!

 

1. Titania

2. She Crushes For Dead Men Deadly Wine

3. Hamadryad

4. Shadow Witch Orchid

5. Samhain

6. Kali

 

 

Its strange when you list them like that you can see the themes running through. I think Beth's gift may be to channel personalities into a bottle. That came out funny, but I'm hoping you guys get what I mean. Cause queen Mab and phantom queen would both be on that list if I could get my little mits on more than imp sniffies lol

[Heaven_Star]

Ooh! Great thread!

 

1. Fascinum

2. Spellbound

3. Omen

4. Haunted

5. Lyonesse

 

Honourable mentions: Black Forest, Vasilissa, Mage, Dorian

 

(See what I did there, I did like a top 9...)

[The Amber Dawn]

Alright, lets see what you lovelies think I'd like:

 

1. The Girl
2. Door
3. TKO
4. Black Lace
5. Boo 2010

With Mouse's Long and Sad Tale being that one I just can't bear not to mention but have a hard time fitting in there.

If you are interested in something similar to "Titania" with a bit of spice, you might want to try Pele. It has a similar aquatic/light floral feel that Titania does, but with fresh ginger, and less fruit, a bit of some tropical flower.

Haha, you're welcome! I suppose I have my moments of magic (though I wish there were more of them). Golden Priapus seemed to tie into Fascinum well, plus you have a theme of woodsiness, musks, amber and vanilla. A nice mix, if I do say so myself! Hope you can track some of them down and enjoy.

You might also like Ichabod Crane, which is a halloweenie from the 2008 Sleepy Hollow collection. It has a bit of the same vibe as White Rabbit, but with a floral element. It's "Dusty black wool, tea with cream, black pepper, muguet, and beeswax candle drippings."

That sounds awesome! I'll have to see if I can track that down.

[cvelis]

This is fun and I would love some new recommendations... would love to find a replacement for Blood Countess!

 

1. Blood Countess
2. Tamamo No Mae
3. Hungry Ghost Moon
4. Morocco
5. Neo-Tokyo

I'm also a sucker for O, Snake Charmer, and anything in that realm.

1. The Hanging Garden (also discontinued), maybe Berry Moon? (I like Australian Copperhead's initial berry note, but it doesn't stay)

2. Lovers in a Ricefield

3. Street Festival

4. This is a wild card recommendation, but I found the Coconut Tiare hair gloss made me think of Morrocco. Not that they have the same notes, but they give me a similar impression

5. Holiday Moon

 

extras: Womb Furie, Le Petit Mort, and Le Lethe.

[cvelis]

Thanks for the recos! I have Berry Moon, and love it a ton! I'll have to put the others on my track down list :-)

[dangerbunnygirl]

I'm a bit of a newbie and would love some suggestions on what to try next. I haven't sampled a ton but My favs so far are:

1. Mouse's long and sad tale

2. The lion

3. Dana O'Shee

4. Mata Hari

5. Fae

 

Mouse is absolutely my favorite perfume ever, I've been wearing for a couple years and is my favorite, also bears the distinction of being the only perfume I've tried that my husband has liked.

Some floral (especially rose) tend to be overpowering*sad*

I tend to like amber, vanilla and coffee notes.

Any suggestions on what to try next?

[marquis]

I've been out of the loop for aggggggges so have no idea what is what any more.

Of course all my faves are disconned and almost impossible to get and while I have bottles and backups there will come a day when one runs out

 

In no particular order (ok, that's a lie #1 is #1 for a reason)

 

1 Quincy Morris

2 The Traveller

3 Rivet Goth

4 Clockwork ♂

5 Infernal Lover - the heavy on the musk one.

 

Oh, and the Carnaval better come back soon, I'm almost out of Wulric!
