Haitian Lover

[edenssixthday]

A highly sexual, passionately primal love oil for men.

Haitian Lover - This smells like overly-ripe, sticky fruit and ... um ... condoms?! Yeah. Eww. Beyond that, nothing else really matters.

Mmm, licorice! I would almost say this has a leather note as well, or maybe a dark musk. It's really masculine (duh!) but I feel tempted to wear it anyway. Pity it's discontinued.

 

EDIT: Ahaha, never mind. It smells foul now.

I know this is for men, but I tried it on me anyway.

 

It smells like Kabuki to me when it's wet. A fruity, licorice-like scent. But when it's dry, I can barely smell anything. What I can smell seems smoky. What a strange change. I think its age is showing.

 

And I really wish I hadn't read edenssixthday's review that mentioned condoms because now when I smell it I think it smells like condoms. (It really does! At least, it does before it gets to the dry stage.)

A dentist's office. Mint mouthwash and men's cologne. Maybe a touch of licorice.

 

Score: 2

Oh boy, at the beginning this was maraschino cherries with a shot of cinnamon. As it dries, the cherries aspect fades and I get more of the cinnamon and sassafras/licorice aspect going on.

 

This is potent and sexual. On the right guy... oh, he's sex on legs. Not my hubby's kind of scent, and if I wore this, I'd have to find a guy that can wear this scent. Induced to cheat because of BPAL? This is THAT kind of scent. Danger, Will Robinson, danger.

 

Danger, indeed.

in the imp: sweet, almond-y.

 

wet on skin: the sweet starts to dissipate almost immediately, and a sort of cookie-dough smell takes it's place- reminds me of MB:Underpants in that way.

 

dry down: ok, everything from before is gone. in it's place is now something akin to bay rum with a hint of musky lime.

 

in all: while it states to be a masculine scent, i feel any gender could wear this. however, apart from it's magickal value, i think there are far better offerings at BPAL for all concerned.

Another one I picked up at Dark Del on a whim

 

In the Bottle: Cherry!

 

Wet: Cherry is one of my favorite notes, I'm loving this. A touch of ...cinnamon? Really good.

 

Drydown: It went to something herbally and generic fruit? WTF? I may have to retest, because this was soo good in the early stages.

This smells like cola syrup on me. Sexy! (No, really!)

Fresh on, this is the scent of cherry cordial. Ooh! There's a touch of licorice in the background that is quickly moving into front. On its tail is something herbal and dark, dark green. The cherry cordial fades into just a memory. There's a slight sharpness from the herby parts that lasts for a bit before melding with the licorice/cherry. (Ya know, I just bought an Anise Hyssop plant; it's also known as Licorice Mint. I can see that as a note in this). Someone above mentioned bay rum with lime, and there it is! And, yes, it does dry to a masculine O and/or Voodoo. It's nice but not great. It needs a few more tests before the final determination.

 

If the scent had a color it would be equal parts red & greenish black .

Something about this called to me when the Etsy shop returned to active status, so I went ahead and bought a bottle. I haven't tried it on my husband yet, so even though it's meant for a man, my impressions are based on me wearing it. Wet, there is a very strong cherry almond scent, followed by a blast of anise. It's very sweet, but it dries down fairly quickly to a softer sweet red licorice scent, like those cherry pull-aparts. so it doesn't stay "in your face" the way it starts out. I do get the syrupy cola comparison too. This isn't a "burly masculine" scent, but I can see how it would wear nicely on a hot guy in a tropical setting. If only I had one of those hanging around.
