almost a pure carnation single note, but lightly in the background lingers a hint of amber and an even lighter hint of cinnamon. this one really lasts, and is very very true in bottle, wet and dry. all in all i love this one eta: intresting yesterday it was all carnation today it is sweet warm vanillay goodness w/ a touch of amber. hmmm i love both ways, intresting how it is different things different days

this is roses gone wild...think roses, spring break....on the go a bit wonky and make me dizzy. i love my roses but there is something in this one taht irritates me.
-
beautiful rose, i am not a fan of lemon, but it remains a supporting actor enough that i can tolerate it in this blend. did i bring up the rose is gorgeous?
-
this is almost all green tea, floating in the background is a light lemon floral but it stays in the background. if you are in to green tae you will want shanghai

i have had this one a while, but after sniffing it in the bottle i figured a review could wait. it didn't do alot for me. in the bottle it is very greengreen astringent made my eyes burna bit. on tho....mmmmm as soon as it hits my skin i get rosemary and amber no lemon (yay), altho for a few moments there is a weird plastic type smell but that goes away as it dries. i detect a swirl of herbs, it reminds me of the herb stand at the farmers market. there is a very very light touch of what i am thinking is the iris, but it is in the background. mostly the amber and rosemary are in the forefront and i am liking it...wish i would have tried it sooner...bad bad shell

intresting, in the vial soap, irish spring anyone? wet it reminds me of lion w/ a hint of something astringent in the mix as it dries it is green, clean, definitely smells of trees, forests, mossy, and in the very back the fresh clean whiff of soap, but not soapy bad smell, just a hint of clealiness. intresting really.

clover is right, brimstone...and unfortunately that is all i get, wet, dry, ect brimstone no flowers nothin but brimstone
-
herbal, astringent, light, green burnt a bit as i applied it which rarely happens for me, there is a slight floral, but it is an airy floral like a whiff on a breeze, intesting oil
-
in the vial watermelon, sweetness wet watermelon and mimosa as it dries the watermelon goes away, and it smells like mimosa blossoms, i thought i got a slight wiff of possibly white musk, but it must be the spices because there is no musk in the description. this is sunny, springtime smellies, i like it.
-
in the vial...banana now and later and hubba bubba...today must be bubblegum day for me wet: must be the banana leaf i smell, sweet ripe banana as it dries it becomes less sweet altho the sweetness doesn't dissapear altogether and it gets a weebit smokey, and a bit greener, altho not compeletely green this is very intresting. i am starting to think alot of my favs are from wanderlust
-
in the vial it almost smells like bubble stuff thank goodness that passes as soon as i apply it it is a soft, light, grassy type smell, not dried grasses, but fresh green sweet grass there is a very light hint of floral nothing overpowering within a few minutes i can no longer smell anything, it is that light
-
in the vial, something bubbalicious, reminds me of ylang ylang yet i know that it isn't ylang yalng. on the bubalicious smell is still the frontrunner, but theer is a green herbal accompinement, this is sweet, fresh, and clean smelling i actually love it
-
hmmm i don't really get samhain, there definitly is something similar but hexennacht is it's own being. in the bottle, dark....woods, ash, earth, and something tangy indeed. wet it is very resinous, fir, deep woods as it dries it becomes softer the tang is there, and the smoke. this is intresting and compelling....definitely darkness. i love it eta i wore this all day, i reapplied it 1/2 way thru the day so i could continue w/ my assesment, i figured out what my opinion on this is.....if samhain and mabon would mates this would be the offspring. and it is def in my top 5 le list, gorgeous, and the more i wear it the arther in love i fall. this one seems to be the essence of me
-
in the bottle....cider???and something sweet intresting no one else gets cider wet instantly the cider goes away when it hits my skin it becomes very very sweet i think i detect yalng ylang, something bubblegumish anyway. as it dries it is indeed a pink smell, sweet, florally, smething fruity, but i don't immediately think strawberry unless i really concentrate on starwberry then i am like ohhh yeah. all in all very very pink. i have a dd who loves pink and this is earmarked for her

Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?
shelldoo replied to Absinthe's topic in Recommendations
Lilith has some sort of dark musk in it, doesn't it? Black musk, maybe? (Too lazy to look). That would probably explain the cat ass thing. For me, Lilith was like a weaker, less expensive smelling version of F54, but really damn close. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i agree -

i found it I FOUND IT *hopping around wildly like a nut job* i found a sister scent to my f54 drum roll please.....lilith. they are not exactly the same obviously, but it is similar enough that i can stop obsessing abt f54 running out...omg dear lilith why oh why did no one tell me -
simply breath taking. lime fresh squeezed, musky depth, and a hint of floral. this is clean, fresh, and definitely wearable.
-
yup, yup, yup, green, leafy, lavander. in the background of the green earthy notes i think i detect a tad of pepper, or something peppery.FRESH, this is extremely masculine, yet one i would wear also.

thunderbird is a huge, raincloud, full of electrical charges. crisp, biting, electrical storm in a bottle
-
:faint: faints dead away. omgwtbbqwtf!!!!! squuueeeeee. on me this is f54's sister, i have searched and searched for anything even 1/2 way similiar, and altho this is a bit darker it is similar enough that i can stop bemoaning abt f54. wet it is that juicy wine scent i have only found in f54, as it dries the myrhh comes out which makes it deeper then f54 but still is incredible, and the bonus is i love myrhh. toddles off to order abt 10 10mls
-
ummm, well, aqua note. which doesn't get along w. me...aquas never do *sigh* i am a bit disappointed because i adore peonies, but i just can't get to them the aqua watery note is all i get, and i am not a fan of them
-
JUICY! great googly moogly, this is all berries, lush sweet berries, like soending an afternoon picking and getting your hands all sticky and sweet, the way it clings to you, almsot becomes part of your skin...that is jester. it is sweet almost reminecent of razzles gum but not quite. this is a big bottle for sure
-
i do not get along w/ jasmine, it always goes painfully sharp, metallic on me. but the lime must stop that from happening, when i open the vila lime is there teasing me wet it is lime and a tad of jamine, as it dries it becomes more jasmine, but w/o the metal edge. intresting
-
huh, i think i am allergic to this one, which is my first reaction to one of beth's blends. i have horrible allergies to almost all mass produced perfume, but to my delight found i could wear all beths...until now. when first on it is lilac i believe taht is swatting me in the sinuses. i can't detect anything else. as it dries it becomes almost all rose w/ a breeze of lilac from down the road. like standing in a rose garden on a breezy day and the neighbors lilac bush is tresspassing. bummer i really wish it didn't feel like my eyes and nose were set aflame....now i must figure out what is in this that did this.
-
there is rose in this??? i am getting loads of frankincense, and a hint of the green ivy smell metioned by others, possibly a touch of orchid but it is almost not there, but no rose. however it is still a beautiful scent very mature.
