Forspecial Plate's Blog

Ranting and raving....

First of all.....if you're reading this, and I complain about something that you do, please don't take it personally. Just a minor pet peeve of mine. I've noticed a trend lately with reviews. People are writing their reviews based only on sniffing the scent in the vial, not putting it on the skin. This drives me crazy. Basically, it's like judging a book by it's cover. In my experience, most scents smell totally different, or they go through changes, after they touch a person's skin. I admit, when I go to a meet 'n sniff, I don't try on every scent that I come across. I smell some of them in the bottle and make a judgment based solely on that impression. But that is different from writing a review for other people to read. When I read a review of a scent, and the person didn't actually try it on, I write it off as completely useless to me.

haloes & mb: bloody mary rationalization

okay so --- OPERATION STAY AWAY FROM SALES FORUM has gone somewhat awry. because ive been shopping on ebay/here! NEENER NEENER i saw a bottle of mb: bloody mary (ITS TOTALLY A HARD TO FIND AND I HAD TO - ONCE IN A LIFETIME SORT OF THING) so i bought it and then...ok thats it. ha. BUT HEY! that was only one. so sorrrryyyysss. man --- as soon as i get this other J-O-B i'm going to like SPEND A TON OF DOUGH on the velvet's and it'll totally be excusable. anyway - still searching for lovers in a ricefield - i hope i win one on ebay and i so totally bought a bottle of haloes from 13curses on ebay. I TOTALLY FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THAT...ok so that makes it 2. muahahahahaha. THIS ONE WAS TOTALLY EXCUSABLE TOO! it's a rarity...sue me. i had to. SO OK -- ive been a bad girl but look at it this way --- im rationalizing it by saying they are RARES and HARD TO FIND. ok? leave me alone... neener neener oh and the blog that follows this, its for my records cause um...i buy so much and have so many transactions going on i forget who's who. like a girl named JEN --- dont even know what her name on the forum is. IM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF---but id so totally leave her feedback for my swap---i just accidently deleted her pm. i'll find her...I WILL!

Review Round-up!

Chaos Theory V - 65

LXV - 65 In the bottle: Dorian cake, pure and simple. On wet: Dorian cake...morphing almost immediately into musky-is that fruit?-cakey-spicy-something else I can't describe-Dorian. Hmmm....not sure if I'm going to like this. Drydown: Dorian spice cake. It's mellow, skin-hugging, and the first "clean foodie" blend I think I've ever come across. Dorian balances out the foodier aspects so that it doesn't get too cloying or overwhelming (most food-based scents are both according to my nose), and the spicy cake element helps to warm up Mr. D's much cooler, fresher side. The vanilla-sweetness amps considerably as time passes, but the spice lingers just underneath that frosting-like layer, keeping it from getting out of hand. And I'm *still* wondering if I'm catching whiffs of some kind of mystery fruit?! It's not lemon - whenever my nose detects it, my mind flashes to a red/pink fruit - but it's gone before I can latch on to what it could possibly be. Overall: Not sure how I feel about this one so far - I absolutely love Dorian, but not so much with the spiced pastry he's got tucked away in his pocket. Overt food scents tend to make me queasy, but this one isn't hitting my ick buttons (yet), and I've kept every Chaos Theory blend I've ever ordered to date - adopting this fellow out without giving him a chance to age would seem kinda cruel. So, I guess he'll stick around until I get to know him better!

Eros

Category: Excolo I pretty much smell lots of lilac and myrrh mixed together. I don't know if there is an actual wine note in the 'honey wine', but Eros manages to go sour on me pretty quickly, much like Athens did. It's not as obnoxious as Athens was, but still not for me.

PRESENT. just not the normal giddy FERN everyone is used to. a more subdued version is available. a downgrade of sorts. <3 fern

Grand Guignol

Category: Bewitching Brews Sweet, yummy apricot; the brandy gives it a warm edge that balances out what could otherwise have been a cloyingly sweet odor. I have to slather it quite a bit, but when I do, it treats me to warm, fruity sweetness throughout the day. Very pretty.

Fire Of Love

Category: Bewitching Brews -- The Conjure Bag Wow, I actually love this! It's lots of straight-up dirty patchouli over what smells like musk and amber, with maybe a leeeeetle bit of cinnamon thrown in for flavor. I have to slather it quite a bit, but it lasts all day and all night, and gives me delightful wafts of its spicy, sultry scent. This is the first of the Conjure Bag scents that I really had a liking for.

Dragon's Claw

Category: Ars Draconis Upon first application, it's a very woody scent, with a vague hint of spiciness, and a delightful resinous edge. However, it wears off really quickly, leaving just a very faint blend of sweetness and sandalwood behind. Not a keeper for me.

April 5, 2009

Devil's Claw

Category: Rappacini's Garden Like many of the Garden scents, I find this one a very green, viney sort of scent. Up close on my skin, there's a more pungeant, earthy scent -- I can see where some people were getting the 'burnt tires' vibe! This doesn't have very much throw; it hugs my skin throughout the day. I actually sort of wanted to like this simply because so many people seem not to. It's decent, but not awesome enough for me to need to keep.

April 5, 2009

Defututa

Category: Ars Amatoria At first, it gives off a very floral hue...sweet, but not overly sweet like jasmine. The other flowers seem to be tempering it. As time passes, the spiciness comes out more. It has modest throw and decent longevity. I think I'll continue to enjoy my imp.

Dana O'Shee

Category: Bewitching Brews This is a sweet, creamy scent that does smell a bit like almond -- I suspect that's the part that's inspired by 'sweet grains'. It's very nice, but doesn't last very long or throw very much on me.
