VioletChaos Report post Posted February 13, 2015 BLOODLUST BONBONSmoked cacao with dragon’s blood resin, red musk, red patchouli and vetiver with a drop of cinnamon. In The Bottle: Smoky vetiver and a little cinnamon. YUM. Wet On Skin: The dragon's blood has just shown up. It's mixing nicely with the smoky aspect, adding a little sweetness to it. The cinnamon has faded off, and has become closer to cassia, like in MB Underbed. Dry Down: This hasn't morphed much from bottle to dry down. The smoke remains, with the dragon's blood contributing well. But I get no cacao at all, no red musk and the cinnamon is only a presence in the most remote capacity. In All: Low throw- I think you'd have to wear quite a bit to get this to move off the skin- and the smoke has the nice aspect of being leathery without actually smelling like leather- a find for a person like me that amps leather notes to sickening levels. It reminds me a bit of Time's Infliction Of Eternity. If you loved that one, give this a try- it won't disappoint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stellamaris Report post Posted March 1, 2015 This is heavenly. It is the best Bon Bon blend I have tried, and it lasts forever. The vetivert is gorgeous, not too aggressive, perfectly tempered. It leaves me in a cloud of awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haltija Report post Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) My skin chemistry must be way off today or my nose is broken. I get no smoked cacao in this at all. It's just dragons blood, red patchouli, cinnamon and vetiver. It's just the original Bloodlust with a extra kick of vetiver and cinnamon. I really wanted to get the cacao so I will try this again on a different day to see if it changes. Edited March 7, 2015 by Haltija Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted March 2, 2015 So, I may have to agree with this being the best wearable bonbon. I get red musk, dragon's blood, hint of chocolate and cinnamon. And it just smells like a luxurious version of Bloodlust. Low throw, decent wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dottie_doom Report post Posted April 16, 2015 Bloodlust is one of my faves so this was one I knew I would love. I do really enjoy it but it's not as chocolately on me as I was hoping. It has all of the elements that I love about Bloodlust though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milo Report post Posted August 2, 2015 Sweet, with a rotten fruit vibe. the chocolate note only makes it worse, bit then I really don't like fruit and chocolate even to eat together. Not for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucchesa Report post Posted October 29, 2018 Bloodlust Bonbon started out all Bloodlust on me -- really, all red musk, taking over as red musk tends to do on my skin. Then I got some DBR, a little smoky vetiver, and half an hour later, yes, out comes the cacao, making this a little deeper, smokier Bloodlust, not ever really chocolate-y. I get only a little throw from this, but it lasts a long time and it really warm, sexy and lovely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alyelle Report post Posted March 28, 2020 Mostly empty sniffie with barely enough oil remaining for one application. I resisted testing this for three years after I was given it because I dislike almost all of the Blood scents, and can't wear cinnamon without welting. Bottle: powdery, with hints of musk, chocolate, and teak. Wet: very woody DBR, overlaid by musk and cocoa. Dry: mostly resin and cocoa, with vague throws of patchouli and smoke. Interestingly, I had no reaction to the cinnamon; first time ever. I found myself very surprised to actually enjoy this, and wonder how much of it working is due to the vetiver, which has never yet let me down. Aged well, I could see myself wearing it again, though I'm probably not going to rush out and search for it. Stars: ★★★½ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
