Dark Sparkle

Given the fact that I love licorice and the scent of it, naturally I had to try this. Looks like all the yules I have tried this year are perfect, sigh, not good news for my wallet... Leather, licorice, sugar cookies and smokey coal - this is so gooooood, I am addicted

I agree, this is The Perfect Incense blend - warm, sweet and smokey, it almost has a vanilla note on my skin. Incredible throw and long lasting. I love Midnight Mass

On Darkness is so lovely - I also get a fruity, almost plummy vibe from this oil with a lavender kick and the incense note. I need at least one bottle

When wet, Mole reminds me of the rainsoaked roots of a tree with fresh moss crawling all over it - later it dries down to a very comforting warm and earthy scent. I love it!

Thank you - to think it took me three years to figure that out

Thank you for the quick reply - now I know where to look another time

I have a question about the Lilith Victoria and Lady Lilith scents - I found them under reviews - Limited Editions. They're marked as Forum Only 9/14/2008 - what does that mean, do you get information about release of these oils by mail or how does it work?

 

Maybe it has already been explained but I did not find any information on the Forum Only releases by doing a search

Illustrated Woman is all about the vanilla with some pine and patchouli backing it up - it is gorgeous, really, quite fresh and sexy at the same time. I am undecided about a bottle though because I already have a lot of vanilla scents. Still, I keep coming back for more!

I love to smell FB but unfortunately it turns to sharp soap on my skin and I was hoping for bog mist and violets

Lune Noir is really up my alley with a hazy, purple floral quality and the sweet fresh pear -it is so pretty and elegant! I wish I had bought more.

I have to say, I was one of the last people to put in an order and I did not even expect to receive SGA and the book - I am very happy and honored to have this in my collection

 

I love Snow, Glass, Apples - it works surprisingly well on my skin and stays a pure apple scent for hours on my skin, it's amazing and I will surely treasure this bottle.

 

I combined it with Snow White today and omg, what a gorgeous combination.

Omg, why didn't I buy more than one bottle of this? SM is very medicinal to start with but it turns into the most incredible resin blend ever - I swear at one point I almost get some sort of sweet cinnamon from this. I can only compare it to Sin, one of my other favourites, with the black amber and myrrh, only much, much darker

 

I cannot wait to let it age - since I only have one bottle, this will be for special occasions only...

Wow, elegant and classy, sexy and sophisticated. I mostly get the lillies and tuberose (oh, I love tuberose) on a smoky background.

 

This would be perfect all year round!

I have been very curious for years about the lore of Snow White and now the legend is finally here, sitting on my counter full of sweet promises

 

In the bottle I sense some playdoh but it is good playdough - playdough made of angels, you might add.

 

Wet on skin: Cool and creamy with a hint of berries, flowers and marzipan - very feminine and subtle.

 

Drying and beyond: Sweet mother of all spicyness and creamyness this is nectar from the gods - not an oil I would normally wear at all, but this is oh so good, stardust and magic.

 

I think I am in love!

Black Rose reminds me of silent movie femme fatales, it is a very classic and luxurious scent, befitting a noir lady

Uh-oh, way too buttery and sweet - I feel like I just poured custard all over myself - I am surprised to like this scent because normally I really do not like foody and buttery scents at all - but it's very pretty

 

Cool, sweet and clear, Obatala really works with my chemistry but I think I will have to pass on the foodyness, I'm afraid.

A wonderful frimp from the Lab

 

Unfortunately, all I get from Sri Lanka is a cedar explosion on my skin and absolutely no other notes are able to pull through - I guess I have to be more vary of cedar in the future

Scherezade is a lovely, warm and spicy oil on my skin, but I still think I prefer Snake Oil and Sin because they are more in-your-face, which I love

I had high hopes for Marie but unfortunately this oil turns very soapy on my skin and it is sooo pretty in the imp, booh

I have nothing new to add to the praise of Dorian except from more praise: Freshly applied, this is tea with a twist of lemon and vanilla biscuits on the side, like Danish butter cookies! On the drydown I get more of the musk mixing with the vanilla, very sexy and comforting - I love Dorian

I have found a new love, Witch Queen is everything that I had hoped that Madame Moriarty would be - unfortunately the Madame turned too perfumey on my skin.

 

Dark incense and lillies fill my lungs - I can almost taste this oil at the back of my throat - then the tuberose. After a little while, I can sense the beeswax and plums - this oil dries down to a very wicked incense perfume with beeswax and plum. Graceful, beautiful and classic but also sinister, haughty and foreboding - befitting for a super villainess

Oooh, have I ever been anxious to try Fairy Market! In the beginning I get a blast of florals and loads of toothaching sugar on my skin, but the oil almost immediately begins to morph and twirl, it is very fascinating - one moment I only get sugar coated fruits, the next florals and incense. As the Market dries on my skin the scent darkens and becomes more of a twilight scent with lavender and sugary incense.

 

Such a charming, wispy scent, I adore it

Whoa, cocoa explosion on my wrist! Hmm, I never really get more than cocoa out of this - I'd loved it to be more woody and deep but my skin turns Boomslang into some sort of sweet chocolate drink instead

 

 

After a while it goes poof! on my skin though I am sure it still lingers around me - I think I need to test Boomslang more times in the vain hope it will turn in to the wonderfully complex scent it was really meant to be

Heavy GORGEOUS Snake Oil (smells aged to my nose) with coconut and incense - I don't get any vetiver until the drydown. Maybe my nose just got used to a lot of vetiver and does not notice it as much.

 

Dry, this is Snake Oil with vetiver, coconut and what must be oppoponax - I freakin love this sexy scent

 

ETA: Settling on my skin now and I get even more of the herbal, grassy vetiver with Snake Oil and I love vetiver . This wafts like crazy - use with caution!

I wonder what went wrong between my skin and Black Phoenix because seriously, it ended up smelling like kerosene on me and nothing else

 

The first seconds I get a lovely almond note and them wham! - kerosene all the way - I am seriously bummed.

 

I think I need to try this a few more times to see if it will stay the same
