Definitely has red wine. I think it has pomegranate and possibly cherry. This sorta smells like sangria - but way fruitier and sweeter. There is something acrid in it, and I think I agree with edenssixthday - it is probably whiskey.
-
Sweet, sunwarmed woods. Wood, leaves, hint of tobacco. On the right guy, this would be the sex. This is warm, masculine and inviting. I am going to go try this on mr. zee_zee... STAT!
-
Smoky rum. It actually kinda reminds me to Hellhound. Rum, smoke and a hint of bay. Warm, masculine, dark.
-
Given the age of this blend, don't really get the menthol in this. It has an herbal note, which I think is sage, and definitely pepper in it. I think there is either spruce or fir, and a hint of cedar, as it dries, to a warm slightly woody spicy blend. There is something slightly golden about this blend.
-
This reminds me slightly to Snake Charmer. It's got honey and red musk, and in some ways its if you took Snake Oil and amped up the red musk, and instead of vanilla you had honey. I can't pull off SC/SO type blends, so if you can... give this a whirl.
-
Spicy. You can definitely smell the jalapeƱos on wet. It's got a hint of cocoa, spice, copal. It's a slight sweet, spicy incensy blend.
-
This one reminded me alot to the Wolfsbane. It is a green herbal scent with an overlay of menthol, esp. on wet. As it dries, it gets a white floral that is slightly soapy and vaguely familiar. I know I've smelled this before. It's a very interesting 'green', mildly herbal blend.
-
Green grassy, cherry blossom or peony, some sort of golden musk underneath. Slightly fruity overtone. Pretty, feminine, green.
-
Dark liqour, a blast of oak and hint of earth. It's very masculine. Hint of green on drydown - smells dark, mysterious, potent.
-
Definitely smell the lime and the verbena, and then I get the pomegranate and powdery white musk. It's a fresh, sweet fruity clean scent. Definitely FRUITY. It's very candylike to me. I can see this appealing to small girls.
-
Leather, stone and a drop of blood. Leather unfortunately smells chemically and the beeswax sweetens it up. Creepy.
-
This is the strongest white tea note scent I've found in BPAL. It's white tea - slightly floral, slightly citrusy. I personally find this delicious - but I'm drawn to clean, fresh scents alot of times.
-
Dark smoky wine, with damp earth. This is what vampire blood would be like if it were a wine. Dark, potent, earthy. Slightly masculine, slightly sexual.
-
Big hit of lime on wet, unfortunately it dries to a lime tinged powder. The white musk on me is slightly floral and powdery. Boo.
-
Dude... is this Venom? Because both the feel and smell is very similar. I get a very whiff of jasmine, and then it burns down to a dark resinous blend - still with the jasmine overlay. It's smokier than Venom, and it has a dark green herbal overtone as opposed to the berries in Venom. It has more of a 'gunpowder' kick a la Gun Moll. I can see this appealing to those that like Voodoo Queen, Gun Moll and Venom. Dark, sinuous, lethal.
-
Lemongrass, whiff of coconut, gardenia, lotus and yuzu. It's vaguely tropical, very creamy and a fruity floral. Lotus lends its typical sweetness, coconut accounts for the creaminess. Lemongrass and yuzu both add a freshness to the scent. Very Atomic Luau/Tiki in feeling.
-
Jasmine on wet, but as it dries I get the 'aquatic' note that everyone talks about and I think it's definitely lotus since the water is sweet.. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bit of civet/musk also going on. There's also something almost 'peppery' at the base of this. Not my style at all.
-
Strongly floral - definitely ylang ylang and sandalwood. I really enjoy the sandalwood note, and I think sandalwood is one that ages really well. It's very smooth, clean and slightly woody. No powderiness. However ylang ylang seems to be stabbing my nose. On wet, I got a hint of the rose, but it's basically gone now.
-
Super sweet cherry liqour and coconut. Whiff of saffron. Thankfully my skin chemistry eats this like no tomorrow. 15 minutes after applying and I get this very tiny faint whiff.
-
Roast coffee, a TON of cinnamon and nutmeg and a smidge of pumpkin. I do have to say that the cinnamon and nutmeg are the most prominent piece, with an overlay of coffee. For me, I smell the hint of coffee first, then the spices and then at the very end the pumpkin. On one hand, I like the fact that the buttery pumpkin is not present, and I do enjoy the whiff of strong black coffee. However, the amping of cinnamon and nutmeg makes it smell less like a coffee... and more like a giant spice cake of doom.

Huge blast of peppermint - you know the kind that you have in peppermint candy. Unfortunately, my skin eats this up like no ones business. ETA: So straight from the bottle, I think the mint lasts a lot longer than originally. But yes, this is sweet peppermint. Like from the Lick It and Lick It Again incarnations. Sweet peppermint, cool mint. No icy blasts.
-
Hmmm, my guess is patchouli, khous, nutmeg and wood. It's definitely dark but not sinister, manly and potent.
-
I get red wine, clove, cinnamon, perhaps other spices, a metric ton of ANISE, a whiff of pepper and rose. It's a very complex scent. It smells - dark, gritty, and perverse. And like licorice candy.
-
No description available. MMH3 is definitely a kissing cousin to MMH2, same smoky note, but the florals are sharper in this one, definitely jasmine I think. My skin also eats this one up.
-
No description available MMH2 is a smoky green floral. It's got the same warm smokey note that Gun Moll does, perhaps a drop of jasmine as well. Sultry, feminine, deep. Comparing it to MMH3, I think there's either some vanilla, amber, perhaps even beeswax in this version.
