wet this was just like glitter on me, smelled just like juicy fruit gum. as it dries it becomes sexier, spicierand deeper, i get cloves, and possibly saffron, amber, absolutely beautiful! i wish i had a big bottle
-
i was comparing perversion to f54 last night, and i am amazed, perversion is not even lighetr this am, it is just as strong and smells just the same, so i would say perversion is long lasting. the longest lasting to date for me. other long lasting samhain, tintagel, o, sybaris. all these if i apply them in the evening before bed i can smell faintly when i wake up.

Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?
shelldoo replied to Absinthe's topic in Recommendations
ok i compared perversion to f54 i was praying i would see them the same as f54 is *the* scent as far as i am concerned sure otehrs are great but it is the most incredible thing...anyway i digress, the perversion top note is vanilla to me, the the peppery spicy base, f54 was a fruity, winey topnote, w/ the same spicy background, however the topnote for me is my favorite, yes it would not be the same w/o the back supprot but even tho i like perversion, and it is beautiful, and i actually rated it an 8 on my personal spread sheet (1-10 scale 10 being best) it for me is not a substitute for f54. -

i agree, i like both but they are not alike. -
wet grapes and lotus as it dries it goes thru a quick flash of something gone rancid but after a couple second it is back to a nice grapy, herbal, lotus scent, very nice
-
BEAUTIFUL! dried grasses, musk, and amber, this reminds me a bit of lion but a less tame, mor rangly scent, definitely need a big bottle it is mostly amber and dried grass w/ a hint of musk, but it is so well blended just perfect
-
wet: musk drydown:musk, w/ and amber kick, and she is wearing a violet between her teeth....this is gorgeus! i adore all three of those notes, and they did not disappoint me trying this again 8/7/06 i recently was looking to try this again, i was not disappointed. it goes on slightly sharp in the beginning. sharp violet. it mellows and becomes a great sexy musky resinous blend after drydown. just what i was craving.

well hellllo hubba bubba, original hubba bubba, the kind that if ya put 2 peices in ur mouth it is hard to chew., as it dries it becomes cinnomy hubba bubba, w/ a hint of carnation i think surprisingly i liked about all the stages here, at first i thoght i would have to give it to my dd's but it grew on me
-
wow wet this is like single note almond. dry it becomes quite a bit more herbal, and yes there is rose here. very nice...i'll post how it "works"
-
complex, very this is smokey, a tad fruity, a touch of greenery possibly pine and pretty floral., yet it is dark and yes somewhat like samhain. this is so complex and well blended it leaves me in awe.
-
this is intresting to say the least again i bought it for its "properties" but am trying it as a perfume for reviews wet it was sweet cherry almonds. as it dries it is velvety, vanilla, and honey, w/ a drab of tobacco, and a drizzle of spice this is dynamic and fun two thumbs up
-
wet it smelled like pure sweet pea as it dries the tonka and wee bit of sage appear however sweet pea is the spotlight of this blend ADDED April 18: wow in the vial i smell literine *gasp* on my skin wet it is a sweet floral i am presuming is sweetpea as it dries is becomes a tonka blend, smells just like my tonka beans as i crush them for incense. there is something else, something green that i can't place lurking behind the tonka, butthe flowery sweetpea has run away
-
this is sharp, and definitely is pain, but not a horrid pain, it is a good pain, very minty (pennyroyal i presume) w/ a ever so light hint of lavander
-
i love this one, it is true vial, wet, and dry, it is a very well balanced blend between violet, vanilla, and gardenia...simply gorgeous, somewhat cold hearted, but i can live w/ that
-
hmm wet it was all citrus and neroli as it dries it is like "o" w/ cloves and a very light brush of citrus i like it
-
wet:creamy, orange lovely! dry: it gets very smoky, but still retains the vanilla, w/ a hint of orange. this is intresting
-
wet: dragon's blood, almost a single note of it as it dries, it gets a hint of pepper, and a dried herbal type feel, along w/ what i think is a violet and lilac combo i definitely get violet, and another floral, the dried herbal note is actually i *think* the strongest, but the dbr, and floral blend are very well mixed and such a beautiful blend, i know the ritual use, which was one reason i wanted it, but as a perfume it is indeed glorious.
-
i kinda think it is civet, as i got a faint hint of cat pee, not every whiff but every once in a while there is cat pee smell mixed in w/ the cinnamon, and florals, i also get the "dirt" type note similar to zombi, actually if it weren't for the occassional whiff of cat pee this would be great.
-
i am a violet whore, so i was excited to try this one this stays pretty true thru all the stages for me, it is a soft sweet violet, edged in green, this is very very soft and sweet a gorgeous spring scent i totally am not dissapointed and will be buying a bigger bottle
-
i have never had an extreme physical, emotional reaction to a scent until now, i can't describe the notes, it went very odd on me and made me feel extremely nauseous, and then i went into a panic attack, i scrubbed and scrubbed but couldn't get it to wash off, this was totally weird, i would like to say i will try it again but i don't think i am up for it
-
i agree w/ blackrayne i thought wow an actual sloth just *has* to smell like this wet the vetiver was slappin me around a bit as it dries the vetiver mellows and a beautiful myrhh, musky scent w/ a touch of vetiver remains. a dark, heavy scent that is indeed slothful
-
wet and in the vial this is a very balance mix of drb and lotus as it dries it gets a spicey hint of something, and isn't quiet as sweet, i think i get a w slight hint of musk, and something almost peppery this one lasts a loooong time i pu it on yesterday evening and this am i can still faintly smell it
-
i didn't get woody, (hehe that sunds so bad) but it was a fruity sweet scent i am thinking possibly mango? pinapple? something tropical w/ a metallic back note but over all a very fruity blend, way sweeter then i imagined after the reviews.
-
CLEAN yes especially after trying saturn. in the vial, fresh off the tree limes. wet it is limes and oranges. as it dries it becomes a sweet citrussy salad w/ a bouqet of spring flowers sitting beside it. this is a fresh, clean, sweet blend very nice
-
as soon as i opened the vial civet hit me in the eyes, strong civet, and a kick of vetiver, there is a smokey edge to it but those are the prominent notes on me.
