(friends list can ignore)
The first of my bpal imps have started trickling in so I'll just be doing reviews(as best I can)in this journal.Onto the scents! (I have fresh coffee to sniff in-between to prevent headaches).This order included stickers,tea,chocolate squares and an extra imp or 2:)
...
*Monsterbait-Closet(Limited Edition)
lab description:Bourbon blackberry buttercream over red velvet cake.
in bottle:I get a slight chocolate undertone
on skin:ahh,now it's changing slightly.5 minutes later,boozed-soaked cake.I like this one.
Snake Oil(Love Potions)
lab description:By far, our most popular scent! Magnetic, mysterious, and exceedingly sexual in nature. A blend of exotic Indonesian oils sugared with vanilla.
in bottle:smells like nag champa to me
on skin:slightly perfume-y.I can smell a faint scent of vanilla but it is overshadowed by spices.It is ok but I'm not terribly over-impressed.
Delight(Love Potions)
lab description:Frangipani, with rose, tuberose, and jasmine.
in bottle:very floral
on skin:pretty much the same.kind of gives me a headache.the frangipani stands out.not one that i'd buy on my own.
Sugar Skull(Limited Edition)
lab description:Vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits.
in bottle:smells like sugar fruit candy.slightly heavy.
on skin:gets a little lighter,dusty as they say,sweet smelling.I was really looking forward to this one & was a bit put off by the way it smelled in the bottle but after 5 minute on my skin,it's a keeper.
Shadow Witch Orchid(Rappaccini's Garden)
lab description:This perfume is a dusky orchid, subdued and ethereal.
in bottle:strong orchid scent
on skin:a pretty floral scent,5 minutes later:slightly soapy,scent is fading but i still like it.
Blood Kiss(Bewitching Brews)
lab description:Lush, creamy vanilla and the honey of the sweetest kiss smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk.
in bottle:interesting mish-mash of things.It is hard to determine what the most dominant note isbut honey,clove and musk stand out.
on skin:sweet that turns dark.Undecided on this one.
Vice(Sin & Salvation)
lab description:Voluptuous and indulgent! A deep chocolate scent, with black cherry and orange blossom.
in bottle:right away I pick up dark chocolate and cherry.I don't really smell like orange blossom yet.
on skin:hmmm,like a chocolate orange.i like it,i want to eat it.lol.It's amazing what a difference a few minutes makes.
