Gluttony

[OctoberGwen]

Thick, sugared and bloated with sweetness. Dark chocolate, vanilla, buttercream, and hops with pralines, hazelnut, toffee and caramel.

Hmmmmm......I almost love this, but there is a note in here that goes strongly tobacco-like on my skin. I suspect it's either the hazelnut or the buttercream, because the same thing happened with Hellcat (only worse.) It's probably the hazelnut, but I shall have to investigate this further.

In the imp and wet this is the most delicious chocolatey deliciousness.... on dry down this is the most disgusting dry, spicy, yet ranicd, bitter cocoa on me with a little dirt thrown in. It was making me nauseus everytime I caught a whiff. Which really sux cause it started off amazing.

I was so happy to wash this one off.

I was so excited to try this, and it started out wonderfully rich and toffee-like, but as I wore it I got a strong leafy tobacco, oaky Scotch, cologne sort of vibe. Looks like I'm not alone in that.

This smells like gigantic burnt awful FAIL on me...I have a decant from a lovely forumite, and It's gonna go straight to the swap pile, without passing go! I actually had to go wash it off, and then try to mask the awfulness with the Malignant dreams of Cthulu in love...but I can still smell it

The ever-awesome Catalyst sent me an imp of this and it smelled wonderful! Chocolatey toffee, mmm, yummy.

 

Once it hit my skin, though, it turned ugly. The hops suddenly came out and turned a too-sweet rancid, if that makes sense, and overpowered everything. Very sad, because I love foody scents and Gluttony sounded amazing. Curse you, skin chemistry!

Blech, boozy almond and praline. This isn't quite as bad as Hellcat, but it's close. I was really hoping for a rich, decadent chocolate and buttercream here, but it's just a generic sickening sweetness. Obviously, since Gluttony was discontinued some time ago, I'm curious what this would smell like fresh. Better, perhaps. All the same, I can say with certainty that Gluttony is not my deadly sin. Lust it is.

In the imp: A sweet, slightly spiced, nutty wonderfulness.

Wet: Hmm, chocolate and hazelnut. Not at all like Nutella, surprisingly.

Dry: Kinda funky on me, actually. Still making me mightily peckish.

10 minutes later: Funkiness vanished, now just a lovely sweet hazelnut.

So yummy!! It's certainly very indulgent just as the name suggests. I get more pralines and toffee than anything else, but it's a very rich scent. I get a lot of "browns" in it.

[Acayde]

Bottle: Brown sugar oatmeal with warm praline syrup and a dash of cinnamon

 

Wet: Spicy oatmeal cookies and buttery toffee

 

Dry: Oh, heavenly warmth. Such a warm and inviting scent, very foody and very heavy (like gorging yourself on freshly baked decadent sweets). It rounds out into a rich butter toffee that I want to bathe in. Lick lick lick lick lick delicious!

Gluttony wears all the way through as Snickerdoodles mixed with craft store in winter on me all the way through. I wish I got the coffee or chocolate note others mention, but there is none to be found on me. While this is a pleasant fragrance for winter, it's currently 95+ degrees outside and makes me want to wash it off. Very much a winter scent to me! I wonder if my bottle is mislabeled...

[dementia_divine]

In the imp: Super sweet! I get the buttercream, vanilla, pralines, toffee, and a bit of hazelnut from the imp.

 

Wet: Sticky sweet toffee and pralines, buttercream, vanilla… SO MUCH SUGAR.

 

Dry: Super sickly sweet toffee, caramel, pralines, and buttercream. This is a golden scent. I am not getting the dark chocolate. Just sniffing my arm makes my head hurt from the scent of this sugar rush.

 

Verdict: Well, this is certainly gluttony, all right! But it is far too sweet for me. I am glad that I got to try it just to have tried all of the seven deadly sins!

Foodie overload! Gluttony is everything it says it is. On me it's most like a chocolate covered hazelnut praline, but the chocolate is no darker than semisweet. With all this other sugar, a darker chocolate would have been nice to cut the sweetness. I guess the hops does that a bit, but there's an awful lot of sweetness to counteract. I always love the hazelnut note. If you are a gourmand lover, definitely give this one a try.

Well, found this on the bottom of a box (because sometimes you don't ever fully unpack from moving). It's a snickerdoodle on me, with a little bit of a nutty edge. I guess it (and me) aging changed out some of the notes I originally got. There a touch of IPA to this as well? But, as this is making me itchy, I'm going to send it to one of my sisters.
