Sadly, this is not for me...this is super honeyed soapy jasmine of DOOOOOMMM on my skin. Oh and a bit of wisteria. It's more tolerable in my hair with some argan oil, got even compliments from pure strangers but alas, flower Moon is not me :/ To swap you go

In the bottle: sharp vanilla Wet: Wintergreen rootbeer! Now I did not see that coming At this stage, the cream is starting to go a bit sour.. uh oh. I fear the worst...D: Dry: this one seem very sensitive to any change in my skin chemistry.When I first tried Love Philosophy, I caugh a cold during the day ( because why not. Eh. -___- ) and the vanilla reeked of playdoh mixed with sour cream...horrible! And it lasted forever! :X Had to scrub it off... Now feeling better, it became instead a delicious vanilla cream with a bit of saffran throw in it. ♡ I don't think I'll reach often my bottle but I'm starting to like it though!

In the bottle : minty cucumber Wet: crisp cucumber! it does have a slighty lotion vibe at first but I don't mind, the Spa comparaison is spot on ; Dry :Fresh mint tea + cucumber. Did I mention this is a really refresching scent? One does feel rather clean, it's perfect for summer! ^_____^

Like thatbrownelf, I got the nutty peanut butter patchouli when wet , strange but not bad The benzoin get along very well with the smoked honey...for a while. After an hour, it became a powdery Shalimar-esque scent. and boy does it last, around12h! Oh and fancy underwear steamed with vanilla is soooo appropriated hahahaha Overall, I think this got the potential to be splendid once a little bit more aged Edit 22/5/16 You know what? it did improved, exit the powdery final! This is gorgeous♡

DIVINE. The Bride is indeed very lovely! The honey musk and the vanilla hold together the magnolia, creating this absolutly delicate, ethereal scents I fell so feminine while wearing it.. got me many compliments as well Had to order a second bottle teehehhe

I had a frimp of queen alice, loved this one very much for it was rich in spicy carnation, treacle, and the cider was divine Now my new bottle..it's mostly posies and faint apple.. I hope it's need only some aging
-
Wet: Juicy plum at first with a drop of tea! Dry: The cherry blossom are quite lovely, very japanese like Aviatrix said. The wisteria is getting stronger as well. Too strong in fact! Alas, this is a little bit too musty at the end... @___@ First cry is nice but I don't think I'll wear it often....it will need an another test to be sure * was sick the first time* I don't regret the bottle though! Edit 20/4/16: Well, this one isnt so bad after all, still a bit heady when wet but it became a delicate cherry blossom honeyed tea after a couple hours

In the bottle: Sharp incence smell..uhg...I'm getting nervous... Wet: Pretty sure there is nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and of course patchouli in there ... Dry: And then...MAGICK HAPPEN! Oh myyy... can't. stop. smelling. my. wrist!!!! What a splendid mix of spices! There is dark vanilla , super sweet honey, warm woods, smoky patch, resinous amber..a truly yummy blend ! Seriously, this is almost turning me on! It does dry slightly powdery on me after a while (which is a bit annoying since honey-or the amber?- never did that before) Fortunately, that stage doesn't last! The combo dark vanilla/honey come back with hints of spices This scent is warm and sensual at the same time...I bet it will gets better with age *got a second bottle for the purpose*

Ohoh, this one is quite an interesting morpher on me Wet: Hello sugared strawberries, how nice you are! Musk and violets pay theirs homage as well, blending together with the orchid. Dry:I feel like my skin became a warfield for the strawberries, violets and the rose. Each of them want the shining crown haha. The musk prefer to hide itself. After 1h: All hail the rose! It reign over them all for almost a hour straight ... at least, it did not turned to soap, yeah! .The musk is somewhat powdery. with a verrrryyy faint burned sugar note X hours later: lolwut? Something akin to creme brulée appeared!!! There is no floral anymore! The sugar won! This is probably the weirdest of my perfume! Not much is needed, a few drops is enough! Still pretty nice <3

Instant win! Wet: I detect a bamboo, aquatic note (the lotus maybe?) the tea blossom is subtle but very lovely <3 Dry: Warm amber and creamy vanilla , plus a little bit of sweet oak This is a close, very delicate spring like scent
-
On me, this is strong dragon's blood resin, waaaaaaaay too heady...and I just put one little drop on my wrist!

A throaty laugh, a sinuous whisper: blackened sandalwood and bourbon vanilla cream with gleaming Haitian patchouli, animalic ambergris accord, immortelle absolute, white benzoin, and a drop of tobacco absolute. I'm way out of my confort zone here but could'nt resist the beautifull artwork hehe Wet: Silky fabric! There is a really prominent salty element- must be the ambergris I guess! The patch behave nicely and stay in the background for once. The immortelle is present as well. Dry: the tobacco come to play with the others.This is really sweet! Not sure if I detect benzoin ou sandalwood at this stage.No vanilla at all, which is sad because I'm a big fan of vanilla :'( Verdict: This blend is..quite interesting. I'm glad I got a bottle only because it is quite unique among the scents I own! I'm not in love with it, but this is a keeper for sure! I'll need to retest this with vanilla bourbon SN Edit 22/4: Black Silk really started to grow on me! It just needed a little time to settle down I finally get sandalwood and vanilla

Frimp from lab! i wet: yummy honeyed almond milk with coconut! the fig hiding in the background Dry: faint coconut, the fig is the main player. very lovely blend!
-
Autumn in a bottle! This remind me of an aged Queen Alice in the wet stage : apple cider being heavier on the spices and brown sugar ! I get yummy fruits soaked in wine as well Something a tad bitter/woody came through after 1-2 hours, but that's ok, it blend well with the other notes!
-
Frimp from the lab! it. start nicely with the heather, I can see the "rain" aspect described by JuliskaMarie I don't get any BlackBerry at all. ....aaaannd it become totally ivory soap :/
-
Frimp from the lab Wet: Heavy, soapy rose! Dry: still the same...my skin seem to amp over 9000 rose...too bad! Edit: My Marseille soap has exactly the same rose scent haha

Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller (2015)
nolifeking replied to Ina Garten Davita's topic in Carnaval Diabolique
First review ever! In the bottle: Sharp. Medicinal. Herbal. Weird. Wet: Ugh patchouli!! Why are you so strong on me?! Not getting any fruits at this stage. 1h: Red musk dominate and the patchouli is still lurking in the background. Something a bit fruity make its presence know as well. I don't get any vanilla Not sure about Mme...but I'll try it again in a few months. Edit 29/5 Someone wrote " red vanilla smoke" and that's what I get now! I get all the note in fact♡ The red musk is still heavy in the wet stage but it is much more tolerable now, same fo the patchouli I don't regret my bottle
