Red Lantern - Heady, Smooth, Sticky
A tribute to the opium den cum bawdyhouses of Shanghai in the 1930's. Golden amber, blonde tobacco, Sudanese black coconut, rich caramel, black currant, white opium and delphinium laced with a sensual blend of Asian spice.
I have no idea whether this is the 06 or 07 version. I think it may be the 06 as the label isn't "shiny" and it looks a little weathered.
In the bottle, this is incredibly sweet - think along the lines of the overpowering caramel of Creepy.
First on my skin, it retains this caramel-sweet whoosh, but I can detect the coconut in there too.
Drying, I get a slight "burnt sugar" smell. I hope this doesn't last.
Drying after a few minutes, the sugar has faded to the background, leaving a smooth amber-coconut scent. Very strong, so use sparingly, but going well so far!
Dry (10 mins): I'm not getting any opium, spice or delphinium out of this. It's just a smooth, slightly "sticky"-smelling scent. Definitely pleasant!
