  1. 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


  2. 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


  3. 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


  4. 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


  5. 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


  6. 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


  7. 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 :cry2:

     

    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 :cry2: :rantrave: :cry2:


  8. 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


  9. 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


  10. 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


  11. 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


  12. :cry2: 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 :ack:
