I sniffed this at the Trunk Show a loooooong time ago. Just now found my notes... Sweet. Possibly slightly woody?

I sniffed this at a Trunk Show a loooooong time ago. Just now found my notes... Aquatic, oddly enough. Hint of soap that must be the lily.

Oh, this does not smell good on me. A strange spiced rose that turns really plasticky quickly. Icky...

White Chocolate, Black Raspberry, and Apricot Cordial Truffle
ami226 replied to thekittenkat's topic in Lupercalia
Oh... the white chocolate does not agree with me.... but the funkiness of the white chocolate fades pretty quickly. Now it is just the slightly tart yet sweetness of raspberry and apricot cordial. Fruity and slightly boozy. Not bad, but not for me. -
This.... is very aquatic. It reminds me of the smell of a hotel shower for some odd reason. Strange
-
Let's see.... mandarin and some other fruit... and some slight booziness that must be the cognac. A very well blended scent! Nicely sweet! There is a small hint of something that makes me think of almond in here that I am not liking too much. Not sure where that came from. I need the SO to smell this! He makes amazing quince preserves. After a bit it smells like slightly spiced sweet fruits. More quince than mandarin.

To me, this one smells a lot like Midway... The vanilla is fabulous and clings to my skin for a long time! I am not sure why, but unlike Detestable Putrescense I get no plastic. Wheeeee! I held off getting a bottle of it because I thought it would turn to plastic, but it didn't!! Mmmmmm!

White Chocolate, Strawberry, and White Pepper Truffle
ami226 replied to thekittenkat's topic in Lupercalia
That is some strawberry! I can smell a bit of pepper, but it is mostly strawberry. In fact, I smell none of the white chocolate. -
Milk Chocolate and Matcha Green Tea Ganache Truffle
ami226 replied to TheIceMaiden's topic in Lupercalia
I had high hopes for this one! I always look at green tea scents and hope that they smell like a green tea latte.... *sigh* So, this is kind of weird because this scent smells like lime. Lime green fruit loops. -
This smells like suntan lotion with a bit of weird wood. Very strange and light. Doesn't actually smell like much to me...
-
Cranberry, thyme, teakwood, mint, cedar, tobacco flower, and red currant. Quite tart. Eeek. I knew this one wouldn't be one of my favorites. There were too many notes that just wouldn't work for me.... Huh, the tartness goes away pretty quickly and now it is nice and sweet. More of a berry sweetness than candy sweetness. Crazy! Normally the red currant goes incredibly awry on me! Huh, I don't think I would wear this one too much, but it smells better than I first thought!
-
Tonka, benzoin, black sandalwood, and nutmeg. On the skin: Slightly sweet, yet.... dry. There is something here though, that doesn't smell quite right. I might have to try this again because I feel like I should love this scent.
-
Whoa that is some leather! Very very manly leather! I am afraid that this kind of leather is too strong for me...
-
A sweet vanilla floral. I wonder how the vanilla will age... Very light, but I like it!
-
'10 Version On the skin: This scent is kind of green. And musky. It isn't as sweet as I thought it would be...
-
This has a plastic/clay tinge. Very strange. Then it becomes a light floral. I don't really like this one at all...
-
Huh, this smells very manly to me with a creamy yet cologne like quality. I think I can smell some frankincense and something herbalish which must be the orris root.
-
Tart yet earthy. Smells like bad wine. Icky. Whoa! Suddenly it turns very sweet. Must be the blood note? Sweet blood note with an earthy undertone. Definitely not for me.
-
Mmmmmm, I can smell the Snake Oil! Honey rarely works on me, but this smells pretty good! In fact, it smells just like Snake Oil... Not too much variation. Turns a bit more powdery on me than normal Snake Oil, but I am really liking it!!
-
On the skin: A honeyed rose with another strange sweetness in the background that kinda puts me off... I think I need to try this one on again...
-
'10 Version I know I tried an earlier version of Smut early on in my experimentation with BPAL blends. I can't remember for the life of me what it smelled like, but I do remember that I didn't like it. Tastes have changed though these past two years, so here goes... On the skin: Root beer! Yummy yummy root beer!! Whoa! Now it is bubblegum! Huh.... A musky bubblegum. Later the bubblegum fades, and now I think I am just smelling musk. Loads and loads of musk. I am on the fence about this one.
-
On the skin: Apple mostly with a floral hint. Huh, I like this one! After a bit, the florals threaten to turn sour.... It is a beautiful scent, but the florals overwhelm too much. The apple has pretty much disappeared. Very feminine!
