Belladonnastrap

THIS IS A BUTTERY NIPPLE DRINK IN PERFUME FORM!!!!!!! As that is my favourite drink I am in love. Butterscotch and rum and sweetness and headyiness all rolled up into one lovely lovely perfume. I shall be wearing this New Years Eve as I get plastered bringing in 05!

First sniff Mmm apples. Sweet ripen apples just lightly drizzled with some sweetness. A lot like apple cider. Wet A bit sickeningly sweet, there seems to be a bit of caramel that completely overpowers the apple. It's not BAD but that tartness that I initally smelled is missing and I'm sad. Drydown I SMELL LIKE AN APPLE ORCHARD! Oh that inital tartness is back now but it's enhanced by some sweetness. Oh this is beautiful. Beautiful! Aftermath I can see why Hera jealously guarded her apples if they smelled like this! Wonderful wonderful and a 5ml for sure

My favourite rose scents in order of to 1) Moon Rose (perfect. Not too strong, but not light either) 2) Rose Red (WONDERFUL except it's very very potent and strong) 3) Persephone (the mingling of the pomegrante prevents the rose from overpowering) 4) Old London (beautiful but a bit naughty and dirty. I felt like a whore who should be trolling whitechapel wearing it) 5) Black Rose (made me ill) I haven't tried Silentium Amoris although I have the imp.

Rose Red is more a pure rose then Old London. I wore it and people kept marveling how I smelled like a deep perfectly just cut rose. So I'd get it based on that if you like roses. Plus it's LE.

RAWR. Sugar Skull <3 First sniff Brown Sugar drenched in maple syrup with powdered sugar on top. Seriously. No waxing poetic just pure sugar. Wet I smell like candy~ Seriously this smells like deep brown sugar, the scent you get when you are cooking something really sweet and everything is in its raw form. Drydown Not so much sweet now as it is spicy, that would be the skull bit I imagine. Still very sweet but a warm mellow sweetness that invites you to come in, take a rest so it can later ravish you. Aftermath SOOOO glad I have two bottles of this. It's amazing and very sweet...great if you love foody scents like me!

If you can find it Spooky needs to be added, that's a blooming delicious scent. Like rum laced sugar cookies drizzled in Peppermint and Mocha. I'm so sad it's not back this year All of the others are great but I'd add Lampades (Cranberry & Orange) to that list as well.

First sniff A sickening incense floral that sort of reminds me of Harvest Moon's first initial foray. I'm hoping it'll turn yummy on me. Wet ....wow. I'm 9 years old and in the church at my fathers funeral. The priest is leaning down to kiss my cheek and I'm gagging on his scent. This is what All Saints reminds me of. Very altarish I get NONE of the foody stuff others have. It smells a lot like notre dame. Drydown Still church smell, giving me a headache and I'm remembering my fathers funeral. Aftermath Not for me, smell memory is too strong.

Sending to Recommendations as its more suited for there!

Another review for you all First sniff Eee a dark dark dark floral! Not quite as dark as Midnight but up there, I'm guessing the violet prevents things from becoming too heady.There is the barest whiff of incense, its more as an enhancer then anything else I feel. It feels like a purple scent. A dark rich purple, the kind associated with monarchy. Wet *blinks* Whoa. Sweetness and bitterness wrapped into one. Still that Midnight vibe but there's some juice now, resembling a thick plum. A bit overpowering actually but nothing too excessive. It's a scent that sort of is misunderstood yet still a bit bad. Much like Morgause herself according to some. The incense holds it all together. Drydown !!!! Take Queen of Spades, mix it with Midnight and you have Morgause. It's not nearly as flowery now, nor nearly as plummy it's *just right* if you understand what I mean. The fruitiness prevents the florals from overpowering you and the florals prevent you from drowning in juice. It's a quite complex scent now but still VERY VERY heady. A little bit of this goes a long long way. I'll update about staying power later. Aftermath Well it's not what I was expecting thats for sure! It's way more balanced and juicy. If you liked Queen of Spades and found it too plummy try Morgause. If you liked Midnight but found it too floraly try Morgause. As for me I'll try it a bit more! I'm not SLATHERING RAVING over it but it is quite lovely. EDIT: Merged with existing review thread --Shollin

First sniff Bright, and it smells really expensive. When wet OMG. I've smelled this before but I can't remember where. It's very strong and fruity yet its also woodsy. Mm. Drydown More sweet now but very very heady. A very decisive scent, hence while it is called Justice I suppose. Aftermath Well in the end this was just TOO strong on me and I will not use it for anything but meditation work. However if you like your scents strong and decisive do give this a try

*whine* Want this to be released NOW First sniff Oranges and cranberries and booze oh my! A lovely bright scent that reminds me of Lush's dearly departed soap: Orange Spice & Everything Nice. When wet Almonds and Oranges and BOOZE. Oh and its not burning huzzah! Is that Amaretto? It's a very warm, decadent scent. Drydown Mmm a veryheady and slightly drydown, thers an element of booze that makes this wicked. The orange is lightly playing along the edges...this is a very heady scent. Aftermath Do you like foody scents? Do you like foody boozy scents? Then Decadence is for you! *silently paws at Beth to release it*

First sniff Ooof spices! Very incensey. When wet Mmm sweet spices wafting p, it's not as incens ridden as I thought it would be. Drydown Erk. Scratch that, incense smell is back and stronger and making my head dizzy. Very strong and spicey. Aftermath IF you're an incense lover do try this out...however its just not for me.

First sniff Complex, bright and a bit offputting...much like the state of Delirium itself. A very When wet Wow its a very white floral. A bit strong (and do I smell sandalwood?) but still white. Smells a bit like veil. Drydown Sort of fading into the background and I have to really sniff to get a sense of it. That's not cool Aftermath I like this but I doubt I'd use up more then my imp. It's too close to Veil for my liking and as Veil wasn't a MUST have scent for me neither is this. It would probably be lovely in the spring as a room scent however.

WTF no one mentioned Belladonna? Augh!! Belladonna is very very woodsy on me! Probably the most woodsy scent I own.

Hah yeah. I have to avoid Almond cause it breaks me usually but Dana O Shee has a very low level IMO. Of course its still there so fi the scent makes you gag stay away.

Tack on Mercury to this list, it smells almondy on me (and made me break out) :0

I could write sonnets about Titania...but they'd pale in comparison to the real thing. First sniff Peachy floral. Wow. This is amazing. Definitelly a fae sort of scent. When wet GAH! It's a fruity floral I enjoy!! Oh this is yummy. Like I've stepped into a meadow of juicy flowers. Mmm. Yummy. Drydown Softer now and more tranquil, this turns into a white floral with a bit of juice to it..I want ot say peaches but there is something else. Not as overpowering as when first put on it mellows out into a lovely feminine and pale pink sort of scent. Aftermath Wow, Titania might be the first floral I really have to buy a bottle of. Absolutely beautiful

All hail the queen. First sniff Wow spicy.I can smell some almonds which makes me eep as I'm a bit allegic to almond based scents but I have high hopes for the queen! When wet Oooooooo. Lovely almonds wafting up to say "allo miss!" as the spices lightly carress my skin. It's not a kick you in the face spice more of a one that you don't notice is there unless someone brings it to your attention. Very very nice. Drydown Oh wow, could it be I've found an almond scent that agrees with me?! The drydown on this is very lovely, a bit sweet and honeyed, the spices are very much toned down into a sort of mulled haze. Aftermath FINALLY an almond scent that doesn't cause me to break out! Queen of Sheba is like as low working Old Morrocco...it's heady but not so much that it leaves you drunk. Prolonged exposure will result in inebriation after awhile though. It's a lovely scent, perfect for fall>winter and I plan on buying more.

Nine Mysteries....I have no witty comment for you. Le sigh. First sniff Double the pleasure, double the fun, double the flavour with doublemint gum! As you can see Doublemint gum was the first thing I thought of when I smelled this. Mint mint mint. When wet I smell like mint jelly! Very peppermintish...this is what Lush's Candy Cane BBS should smell like and not that creamy candy crud. Peppermints and cold is w hat I'm feeling when I wear this. It opened my sinuses. Drydown Still mint but very subtle now, I get a hint of juniper (yay!) but nothing citrusy like others have mentioned. Aftermath I think this will be something I'd buy down the road (or if it was discontinued haw!) as it would be lovely in the summer. I also would wear this days when I needed to get up but was just tired as its a sort of "wake yo ass up" scent. Probably would be lovely during the holidays as well...maybe mixed with tintagel. All in all tis a very yummy mint scent one which I do like a lot.

Sudha Segara makes me want to crack open my mythology books. First sniff I can't place it but something very heady yet sweet. I've smelled it before but I just cannot remember where, When wet Extremely subtle, I can barely tell its there. Sweet and a bit tart its very ginger. Drydown Ginger memory.This is really subtle! Aftermath I seriously doubt I'd ever buy a bottle of this but I may get an imp from time to time as its a lovely sort of calm scent.

Moon Rose has me humming Moon River for some reason. First sniff A very clear and gentle rose. Not overpowering at all, sort of like what the memory of a rose would smell like. When wet Wow I think this might be my favourite rose scent yet. Not strong at all, if there were silver roses they'd smell like this. Soft and touched with something else...maybe lavender? It's very pretty. Drydown Very subtle but still lovely, it's so ethereal and intangible. Aftermath This is a great scent if you love rose but don't want it to overpower you. I definitely will be buying this next order as I can see myself wearing it daily.

First sniff Cardamon. I get nothing else from this scent but that and it reminds me of cooking Cardamon twisty bread with my dad. When wet Lemons? WTF? Dual nature indeed. Lemons and Cardamon and that's about it really...oh wait no there's some spice too. But I get overpoweringly lemon from this. Boo Drydown Meh. Still lemony, no trace of Cardamon anymore. Aftermath Not for me....I think my body chemistry hates lemons.

If I get Samhain in time then that. If not...Scarecrow () since I have no Jack.

Midnight is LOVELY. Absolutely lovely First sniff Oooh like a midnight garden. I'm surrounded by trees and lush greenery and dark. When wet Ooo lovely! Its a bit aquatic and very floral but not nearly overpowering as I feared. A bit sweet and a bit tart but very very lovely. Is that lotus? Drydown Mmm very subtle nowand green but not overpowering at all. It's a bit greeen but not too much...very much a grounded scent. Aftermath I NEED A LARGE BOTTLE. This is goregous! Lovely! And smells pretty damn good too.

Okay so the Yule update isn't up yet and I know those would fit in this catagory but I'm curious as to what scents that are available now could be considered Holidayish. So far all I can think of is Tintagel. Any others?
