What's your favorite Arcana blend? DEVILISH!!!!!!!!!!! its a very nice cool/smoky vanilla. I've never gotten even the tiniest of hints of plastic from it.. and yes.. its just so nice.
I also like Burlesque as well, but its not a holy grail.

What are some really popular Arcana blends? What I've heard the most about is burlesque, frilly underpinnings, caffeinated death, morphine.

What does Arcana do very well (ie - citrus blends, foodie blends, etc). I think Arcana is focused on really well balanced blends. But what I enjoy most from them, are the resin-y musky blends. They are resins and musks that feel a lot more appropriate for everyday wear. I guess, they are not so dark, and hippy-ish (note, I am totally down with being hippy-ish, but sometimes its still nice to have the lighter resin smells).

Is Devilish too smoky? With some of the Arcana blends I worry that some of the elements like pepper or smoke are more prevalent? Do I need to worry about that?

I'd say its possible in some blends, with the pepper at least. But I have never seen where she had too heavy a hand with smoke.

As for Devilish.. its really not at all what I imagined from the description. its not really a dark smoky blend at all to me. I mean there is a smoky aspect, but its a cold smoke, and its definitely a secondary note to the vanilla (which as i mentioned is really nice!). Actually, I think a better description would be vanilla and cool brimstone. I think its that cool stone smell is what makes me love this perfume. It really is nice.

You know what, I'll include a tester in with the alice decants (they should be arriving today).

hehehe, its my pleasure! C;

I do really think it is a blend you have to try to see if its 'your thing'. Because like I said, its not really as the description makes it sound.. well on me. But it is an awesome vanilla.
