very sweet sugary warm gingerbready caramel (Tablet) in bottle. Fades fast on skin. But still sweet. Hints of musty paper, no leather
turns slightly more dry-papery after a bit with maaaaybe small hint of leather, the sweetness is warm and comforting, and the whole scent is very soft
-
wet: very much like cologne of amber and florals
as it dries: some sweet gum-like peach comes out.
dry: Fresh and clean, peach takes over quickly without being overpowering. still hint of florals. it's a lovely blend that works well, just not my kind of scent
-
I put it on and instantly get a scent that's very sweet, white, and juicy.
It turns quickly to lemon cake, wafting back and forth between something more sandalwood and something more lemon-cleaner, but usually staying sweet enough to conjure cake
-
heavy on the grass and herbs, I can smell the leather beneath it if I try, but too green for me and almost headache-inducing
turns acrid as it dries down and the leather comes out, but it's a hard, dry leather
have to wash it off
-
very light
maybe a bit of woods and citrus - like if you cleaned a wooden piece of furniture with a slightly citrus cleaner
and a soft (skin?) musk
comes off as fresh and clean....a little too clean (and the citrusy starts to come out more.)
*edit - turns kind of fresh green
-
a musky cedar cologne, VERY masculine, very strong. And a hint of something minty that comes out much more after a few minutes, creating a weird mix. A heady scent
-
heavy spices, warm, clove, some sarsaparilla that's a little sour and a little sweet
-
I love this blend. Nice spices without being too incensy, and also has a sweet-sharpness
however it disappears completely from my skin within 30 minutes
-
LOVE IT
sweet, almost incense and a bit leathery
-
I seriously AMP this!
I smell candy! cinnamon like red hots, some cherry and licorice.
it's just too strong for me
-
spice! yellow and resin-y
-
cherry cough syrup and sawdust
-
heady and heavy like a hunting lodge, musky and old smoke and brandy
too closed in a butch for me
-
oh dear god. i've tied BPAL that I haven't liked before, but words cannot describe how awful this is.
I really tried to describe it when I put it on my skin, but I was almost gagging
brown, decayed, mildew,...

ew. I get pinesol with cocoa and rum. not a good mix
-
wow - that's some strong cinnamon. reminds me Uranus.
there something black in there, and (now that I saw someone else mention it) Coke.
but mainly cinnamon
I do think I'm getting little hints of the incense notes, but if I didn't know to "look" for them I might not be...
it's not totally overpowering, but too strong of a candy-cinnamon for me
*edit it fades down a lot after about 30 minutes. I can tell there are other notes besides cinnamon now, but I can't pick them out individually; the cinnamon is a bit sweeter/lighter
but now the whol thing is very close to teh skin
-
I get lots of white sandalwood, keep sniffing, and there's vetiver and a bit of clove
it's really nice and smooth; one of the smoothest, softest vetiver scents I've tried
I can't pick out the other notes separately, except maybe some beeswax off and on (the clove has disappeared into thebackground), but it's a gorgeous mix that's not too overwhelming
it's both light and dark
-
the DB is very nice. The rest of the florals turn a bit salty. Not quite like Dragon's Tears though - not that salty. more of a sharpness. not overpowering, but I prefer my DB tempered with something like musk or leather or sandalwood.
-
first let me say that I bought three (3) bottles of this and they are all the same
I get absolutely NO leather in the bottle or on my skin, and the dreaded ROSE has taken over
I'm leaving it on for now (bracing myself for the Rose-headache) just in case it changes....but I'm not hopeful. Rose wins 99.9% of the time
it goes a pit Pinesol for about 5-10 minutes, then soapy for 5-10 minutes - then back to Rose with a hint of incense
**
and it fades down a LOT in 2 hrs...just rose on my skin and maybe a hint of incense...and almost disappears an hour or two after that (just a hint of rose on my skin)
NO LEATHER
-
I wish I got all that in mine
in the bottle - opium, resins, and slightly cologne-y
on my skin - very faint and a bit more biting/sharp....then it turns to a sweet floral that's very clean....and underneath bit of vetiver
*sigh* not what I was wanting
-
this is the ONLY rose scent so far that I can wear. Normally, I amp it so much it gives me a splitting headache. Here it's so soft and subtle and nice...but there's still a "bite" in my nose to smell it
it doesn't really smell "floral" or "herby" on me...but something in between and I can't pick out any other notes specifically
-
in the imp I smell sweet tarts
on my skin, I get sweet tarts and musky incense. the sweet tarts goes away VERY quickly (just a few minutes), leaving a nice soft vetiver (not overwhelming like in some other blends) tempered with pencil shavings lol
and an incense note and maybe a hint of wood...I'm not sure they would have come to mind without seeing ZZ's post...but after reading it, I can kinda pick them out underneath the vetiver and pencil shavings
-
Very light and sweet - Floral! almost a fruit note to it as well. I also picking up one of the labs lighter Rose notes (which always are bad on me)
very much like one of the lighter Last Unicorn scents...
I don't get any earthy or patchouli
-
I was hoping for more leather
sadly, what I got was a wet scent that smells of mildew. there's leather there, but it smells like mildewed leather...even washing it off I smell like I'm moldy
edit* I washed this off...but the smell didn't go away. In fact, HOURS later (6+) I can still smell it. There's a bit more leather, but it's still moldy mildewed

very sickly-sweet, emphasis on the sickly. I think it's the leather and tonka that smell almost mildewed...after reading the Poison Queen's I agree with a bit of cucumber, though it's still a little more mildew than cucumber on my skin
and faint inky blackness permeates, but no specific note jumps out
