Carnaval Diabolique: The Snake Pit - Cottonmouth
Snake Oil with linden blossom, calla lily, passion flower, and narcissus.
In decant: oh, so excited to try this! I'm getting a light floral scent, pleasant--linden, and a demure lily. Definitely not Snake Oily, but I'm getting creamy vanilla, slightly dark and musky.
Wet on skin: hello there, pretty linden blossom and lily. You are lovely, and I love this blend. We've got linden and lily and a slightly spicy vanilla; I can "sense" the presence of Snake Oil, but definitely light. There's also a slightly cinnamony spice thing going on here, sweet and softly spicy. This is working really well so far. Lovely!
Dry: aaaaaand hello, powder :( Sigh. That's definitely another nail in the coffin: Snake Oil does not work for my skin chemistry, in any amount. It's now a nice spicy floral powder on me, faintly sneezy. Sigh.
Verdict: well, I suppose I should be thankful I don't have to go hunting for this discontinued blend!
