Dana O'shee is a maddeningly elusive scent. After reading the description and reviews, I was certain I would love it...and I know I woud if I could just catch it. One drop wasn't strong enough so I decided to pour on a bit more. I accidentally let out about 1/4 of my imp. Eep. Well, if you gotta overdose on something, it should be BPAL. For just a moment, I got a very strong whiff of that spicy rum-dipped maraschino cherry thing I get when I first apply Hellcat...maybe that's the almond note?
But then a strange thing happened. The smell on my wrist just...whoosh...disappeared. Like Sagitare said, very strange. I sat here for awhile sulking, cursing the chemistry Gods and occasionally smelling my wrist. Sometimes, just for a moment, I would get a wispy thread of oatmeal honey but the deeper I sniffed, the harder it was to catch.
Okay, it's about 2 hours later and the smell has finally come out to play. It's still a little teasing, almost feathery, but very yummy. Creamy honey with hints of almond and oatmeal. This is not a scent I expect most people in the room would notice...but anyone lucky enough to get very close would be in for a delicious surprise. I will definitely be buying a great big bottle of this.
