Gourmand - Foody Scents - General Recommendations
xoe replied to Morrighana's topic in Recommendations
I have to recommend Imp. To me it counts as foody because it makes me want to bite my wrists when I sniff them. Not only that, when I first tried it and held out my wrist for my boyfriend to smell he sniffed and then got confused and almost bit me. That was a little bit weird, and exciting all at once. Imp is my favorite! -
On me, Maiden was all rose. A really beautiful, soft rose. So nice.

To me O smelled alot like Angel (from Thierry Mugler), but better. And the reason it was better is that Angel is completely in your face. If a person wearing Angel walked into the office building wear I work, I would still be able to smell that 30 minutes after they left. And that really gets on my nerves. O doesn't do that. There is something that is very similar and sort of buttery, but it doesn't overpower every other scent in the environment. Very nice.

Imp. Definitely Imp -- That would be delightful! And Alice too.

I've got Gemini all over the place. Sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars! and my rising sign is Leo. I think I may be a little over geminied. Have any of you tried experimenting with something that is quite the opposite of what you're sign says you are? If so, what might be the opposite of Gemini? Capricorn?

Saturnalia is the perfume I've been dreaming of. It is so dark it should be criminal. Maybe Elizabeth would consider making a Gallon size.

very beautiful. jj_j's description was definitely apt. I have a friend who lives in an old Victorian, and we are always hanging out in the attic with some kind of incense or other going. This smells like that. I sniff my wrist and smile.

Count me as another Violet lover. I absolutely love Ultraviolet, but it doesn't seem to last long enough on me. Last week I placed an order for about 6 imp's ears of violety scents, once I've got them and tried them out I'll post here what my favs are. ************************** Editing after receiving and testing: Well, I am 100% with Gothabilly Wench on this one. Saturnalia all the way. I also got: Old Sybaris The Raven Wings of Azrael Faustus Marie By far (on me) Saturnalia is the most Violet and the darkest and most decadent. I also love, love, love Faustus and love, love Old Sybaris. Now I'm all fired up to buy a big bottle of Saturnalia.

I really love this one. It actually made me feel strong and confident and feminine. ** ETA -- Finally almost 3 years later, I got a bottle of Queen Mab. She's just as beautiful as I remember. And still makes me feel strong and confident and feminine. My new everyday scent.

This is definitely one of my ultimate favorites! On me it was mainly violet. And I felt so lush and dusky and somehow nostalgic wearing it. Complicated and lovely. ** Editing to add: While I still really love this, it doesn't last very long on me. It did make me realize how much I love violets and now I've ordered 6 more imps with violet as their ingredient. Hoping to find one that I love as much that will last longer.

So far, Imp is my favorite. I couldn't do any better than the above descriptions. I may have to get a full bottle of this one. WOW!

In the vial, and when first on my skin it smelled kind of like Kool-Aid to me, and somehow evoked a sort of amusement park feel. A little while later, it mellowed and now it just smells really nice. A sort of refined and ladylike scent to me. No longer like Kool-Aid at all.

This one on me, at first smells like kaopectate or something. Not too great. After an hour or two, it started to be very sexy and warm. Towards the end of the evening it was all sugary vanilla and comforting. On my boyfriend it didn't smell like kaopectate at all. Just sexy and delicious.

This perfume reminds me of my grandmother, and of the bathtub. Maybe because my grandmother and I went to catholic church quite a bit together. Where the bubble bath portion is coming from, I don't know. I do like it quite a bit, but it's not really "me".

Just to say that I got my order today. Yay! My little imp of Three Witches was broken, the exteriors of all the little imps and their tags smell like Three Witches. I've got the imps all spread out on a tray, trying to get the scent to dissipate, so my whole house also smells like Three Witches. Luckily its a really nice smell. I don't mind it a bit. Can't wait to try the others! xoe

This is my first post, and it is to say YAY! My package should be arriving shortly. After reading all the reviews I can't wait to try some out for myself.
