No additional description provided. Scent description for Sin is here.]

I got mainly Snow White plus cinnamon and a dash of sandalwood. It was very chilly snowy but with cinnamon. Good throw and wear length.

Sin and Snow White. The Sin isn't terribly strong compared to the snow, but it adds light amber, patchouli, and sandalwood notes that give it more heft.

I adore Sin, it's a GC fave. I cannot imagine how it's going to mix with any snow note though, let alone the coconutty/floral one from Snow White!

 

Wet: Oiy. I had somewhat forgotten that my bottle of Sin is rather aged, and that, fresh, Sin has quite the "edge" to it. It's interesting, in the vial it's all snow white, on my skin it's all fresh Sin. Which is to pay the sandalwood and patchouli haven't quite come into their glory yet, nor has the amber, and there is a LOT of cinnamon going on here. A lot.

 

 

Dry: Pretty much pure Sin on me, I don't get any snow. Which means I can pass on this, as I already have straight up Sin!

To my nose, this is heavy on the snow and light on Sin. I do like Sin, but the cinnamon can be a bit much. Here it is the perfect grace note to the snow.

I was frimped a tester of Frostbitten Sin in a recent swap and tried it today. I have never actually tried Snow White, but this ended up smelling quite a bit like Cotton Phoenix to me, so I'm guessing it is more Snow White than Sin. In fact, I got hardly any Sin (a GC fave of mine) at all -- definitely no cinnamon, maybe a little sandalwood or patch. Perhaps it will get Sinnier with age? I was happy to try this one but will stick with Cotton Phoenix for my Snow White needs.

In the decant: Okaaaaay... It smells like soap. I know what Sin smells like; I love Sin. I know what Snow White smells like (now, and I'm familiar with it as a component of other Frostbittens); I love that too. But this oil doesn't distinctly smell like either of them to me. 

 

On my skin:

 

Oh, okay. Wet, it's Snow White. And then Sin. And then Snow White again. And then Sin again. This continues for several minutes until Snow White basically wins. I note that Frostbitten Sin is a little less sweet than is straight Snow White, so I guess that's the sandalwood and/or patchouli influencing the blend. 

 

Hrm. These may actually be two great tastes that taste great separately.

I like Sin normally, but it's always a bit much. I figured having it mixed with Snow White would make it easier to enjoy. I love Frostbitten Snake Oil, so I was hoping for something similar. The above poster is pretty spot-on! It's mostly Snow White, with a tiny bit less snow. I think this particular mashup doesn't work if you already have expectations. I can see a newbie being really digging this, though.

Compared to regular Sin, this one on me was lacking the amber and sandalwood but heavier on the cinnamon than the original. The frost note is alright, definitely agree with others that it is basically Snow White. I don't think it really works well with this but it's nowhere near the worst Frostbitten scent I have tried.

 

Glad to have gotten more cinnamon this time around, my imp of Sin is mostly sandalwood patchouli.
