  1. This is beautiful! Lillies and a bit of rose under just a touch of snow...

    eta: this is the "snow" perfume I've been looking for. Reminds me of Before the snowy window minus tuberose (which I also love).

     

    Win.


  2. Wet: Cinnamon heavy Gingerbread YUM

    Dry: cinnamon gingerbread MUSK not red musk but a truly musky musk lol. Fortunately its just a hint of musk but it still somehow overpowers tbe cinnamon and gingerbread that I loved in the beginning. I will definitely use my decant.


  3. So...I love this. Starts with a super blast of peppermint zing up your sinuses and there's cream underneath. I'm sad because I got the decant specifically because my guy loves creamy mint and he says something about the cream part smells off...hmmm. I'm not smelling anything weird...I will have to wear it when he's not around, lol.


  4. White musk, amber, sandalwood, a touch of cedar and a hint of saffron. Man, this is creamy, musky, woody and very nice. I'm so excited to not smell honey...that was the only note of doom here and I don't smell it so yay! Lots of sandalwood...this must be the type I love...grounded. Nothing high pitch here. My only complaint is that I don't smell neroli or orange blossom at all and I was looking forward to them.

    Overall this is gorgeous and I may need a bottle.


  5. I'm not sure if I've already posted here but I feel similarly to rawgirl75 about '13 except I enjoy it for what it is...which doesn't smell like one of the Smut family...its not sweet at all and somewhat flat whereas the other years I've tried smell full, rich musky and have some sort of various fruity vibe.

     

    My favorite is '12...I think I detect cherry in with the gorgeous sweet musks but thankfully no booze to speak of. I hope '13 isn't the start of a new direction for Smut and that '14 will be more similar to '12. :-)

     

    I love teh Smut!

     

    ETA: I need to add: when I layer Smut of any year over any lotion I think will smell good with it, it smells really off. When I wear Smut on unlotioned skin it smells gorgeous...including '13. Note to self, no lotion with Smut! :-)


  6. Great googly moogly...

    This is perfect (if you like this type of perfection!) and I am so excited to have this!

    I put a tiny drop on my wrist and smooshed it in and I am so in love with this (and will layer it with Snake Oil and Snow White and many others)...it is so chewy and gooey and yummy-very true to its name. Chocolate, Espresso (just a touch of bitterness) and Gingerbread. LOVE.

     

    ETA This is already aging well. :-) I may need more bottles...

     

    ETA 2 This is aging so well! The gingerbread is more prominent now and it is smooooth!


  7. Delicious.

    Black leather at first with red and black musk underneath (I can detect both!) and a hint of rose.

    Dry, the leather softens and the musks take over but the sweet rose also becomes more prominent.

    Long story short? This is glorious. If you enjoyed the bath oil make sure to pick this up.

    Also, I have never encountered such a full bottle...I almost spilled some when I opened it!

     

    Also I don't like honey on my skin at all (turns rancid) and I don't detect any here! YAY!


  8. This is utterly beautiful. I agree with the comparison to IBT hair gloss but this is smoother, more luscious...are we sure there's no patchouli here?! Beautiful.

    I don't get the Tricksy comp though, Tricksy was bitter and icky honey to me :-(


  9. I decided to use a bit of my decant in anticipation of the perfume oil...

    I love this so much. Beautiful combination of the musks, leather and sugary rose. I mix a few drops of the oil with a handful of vanilla body butter and the scent clings to my sweaters and lasts and lasts.

    snuggly, sexy and delicious.
