Wow, this is beautiful! I'm getting the honey, and also the flowers. Loads of throw! Stays perfect.
-
Yes, it is. The chocolate is very dark, with an almost coffee bean tone. The cherry isn't bad, definitely has the sense of opening a fresh box of cherry cordials.
-
It jumps out grassy — that's the mint. I can tell there are some other things there. but it's the mint taking the lead. It's really growing on me.
-
Cherry vanilla... or is that cherry blossom vanilla. It reminds me a bit of Katrina von Tassel, only with cherry instead of the rose.
-
Exactly what it says. Sweet sweet white chocolate and soft violets. The chocolate comes out on top — this is a really fun one!
-
This is more chocolatey than I would expect for white, which makes it better! The coconut is nice, and not overly sweet.
-
I smell the rice and gardenia right away, waiting for the honey. It hasn't arrived. It's getting a little salty now, then lemony.
-
Oooh, this starts quite mild and pretty! I like what the vanilla is doing. Some other notes are coming up, and I don't know enough to be able to tell what's what... I thought the grape and pear would make it too foody, but actually they are hiding in the background.
-
Just a touch of the flowers... I can't really smell the honey, and the flowers are a nice mix. It doesn't have a lot of throw, but pretty when sniffing it. Oh, wait, here it comes!
-
Indeed it is! It's a very sweet chocolate. It reminds me of icing, which makes sense for the buttercream.
-
Dry, that may be the sake, and lightly woody. The sake comes up more as it wears. Interesting!
-
Starts citrus/sour. Something is not happy on my skin. It's a bit like cedar when it mellows.
-
Beautiful warm vanilla! I can't tell what else is there, exactly, but the whole combination is beautiful.
-
The plum is nice and subtle. It's tempered by the vanilla sandalwood so it's not too fruity. Nice!
-
A soapy start. :-( I keep waiting for it to mellow down, but I'm just getting salty/soapy. :-(
-
Wet, it's pretty mixed up. Something sharp comes up first; I think it's the cedar. More notes are coming through now, and it's nice — woody with a little bit of spice.
-
Starts spicy and citrus. It gets softer and sweeter, but the edge is still there. It gets a little soapy near the end.
-
A dry floral. The vanilla comes up, and the other elements — nicely blended and balanced. It has that little bit of sharpness of those particular flowers, and the cinnamon heats it up.
-
Mandarin, black tea, yuzu, tuberose, labdanum, tonka, neroli, ambergris, and lime peel. Starts kinda harsh, but then mellows into interesting and complicated. I can't pick out the notes. It's nice, but there are other Shungas that work for me much better.
-
Interesting, there are dark brown bits stick to the sides and bottom of the imp bottle. Definitely peppery — at first it overwhelms the chocolate. Still overwhelming. Still pepper. :-(
-
I get floral first, maybe it's the sweetness of the coconut. A definite tropical tone to it. Really nice! It fades down into a pleasant tobacco note.
-
It starts with a strong floral, hyacinth or lilac. Pretty scent!
-
Citrus floral to start. Lilac/violet.
-
Aftershave, in all it's manly, lime-like glory. Then it mellows down into a soft leather scent.
