cfrancesca Report post Posted March 25, 2011 Prototype, unreleased, no scent description. I get soft rose and spiciness, I think carnation? The rose in here is similar to the one in Lucy's Kiss, it actually reminds me of a softer and a bit spicier version of that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Invidiana Report post Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) This is very distinct red rose and carnation with a tinge of something lemony in the background, possibly lemon balm because I amp lemon verbena and lemongrass to hell and it isn't happening here. The rose and carnation notes are very true, full-bodied and realistic, almost like an actual bouquet of them. I'd say it's a bold velvety red rose like the one in Harlot along with pink carnation. Not really my thing personally, but if you're a rose and/or carnation fan who likes the dead-on scent of those flowers, it's defintiely worth checking out.

Blood onmy hands Report post Posted April 5, 2011 This scent really turns my stomach. It's sort of buttery and oddly spicy, reminding me a little of bpal's pumpkin blends at first, but there's something tart and fruity that dominates on my skin. Buttery fruit punch? I usually amp up rose and floral notes, but I don't think that I would pick rose or carnation out of this. It's like buttery fruit punch with a bit of dry spiciness on me... very gross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted April 11, 2011 Hexahedraon is like a deathmatch between rose and pink carnations. At the beginning, rose seems dominant. On the drydown, carnation definitely is. Somewhere in the middle however, I think I detect a whiff of red bell peppers. Yes, like the Cicada Yule scent whose name I can't remember at the moment... Yeah, not for me.

ellebelle Report post Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) This is BEAUTIFUL on me (although, full disclosure, carnation is one of my notes of pure win)! I agree with the rose and carnation notes - those are definitely the most prominent notes in this blend. Yet, the rose scent (to me) is more in line with the rosiness of Othello or Haunted Palace - it is sweet and tempered by something else. I suspect there is another floral in there that is tempering the rose and lending it some extra sweetness, perhaps gardenia or magnolia or some other bright flower. I do not think it is lemon balm as I amp all lemon to high heavens and this does not smell of lemon at all to me. Little bird, maybe you have Hex v3? I think that's the buttery one.

countessmouse Report post Posted August 25, 2011 While this is a rose that I can actually wear without it going soapy on me, it is really, really, ROSE. I'm more than a little disappointed that there isn't more carnation present, and the rose is sort of giving me a headache. If rose is all there is, then this one probably isn't for me.
