Reviews - Queen Mab and Trick or Treat
QUEEN MAB
Warrior, Trickster and Goddess of Magic and Poets, she is one of the Tuatha De Danaan and the Queen of the Faeries. A very complex scent, both shadowy and fierce: black orchid, sandalwood, night-blooming jasmine, osmanthus, Somalian rose, and Chinese musk.
In the vial: I can barely pick up anything. Faintest hint of flowers, that's all.
Wet: Same reaction.
Drydown: If I hold my wrist to my nose and inhale deeply, I can pick up some fruit and maybe some musk or herbs. Maybe something's wrong with my sniffer today.
Dry: Almost gone a half hour later. This is bizarre. I re-applied several hours later and got some decent throw for an hour or so, but within three more hours it was completely gone again. Sadly, this one goes to the swap pile.
TRICK OR TREAT
In the vial: Candy corn.
Wet: Sugar and butter and ... black pepper! Yuck!
Drydown: Ew. Burnt sugar and rancid butter and black pepper.
Dry: Scrubbed my wrist raw to get it off me. I am so not a foody.
