FÉE
|
A buoyant, dulcet blend of vanilla, sunflower, carnation, honeydew, peach
blossom, lychee, oakmoss and white tea. review
I spilled. =( So might as well review it. I've got Holiday
Moon on one arm and Fee on the other.
Wet: mmmm. melon. Honeydew, fresh, wet, succulent, juicy. Holy crap this
smells so REAL.
Drydown: the melon note dies down a lot but doesn't entirely go away.
It picks up a sugary, creamy smell. Almost like a very light caramel.
This is my childhood summers, sitting on the porch after being in the
pool, eating melons in the sun. Not flowery at all. Just sweet and yummy.
This is total perfection. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK.

LUMP OF COAL

Ok, fine. It isn't really
a lump of coal, but brownies and coal are vaguely similar in color!——and
you know you could never be naughty enough for us to really toss a coal
at you! After all, we specialize in sin at Black Phoenix. This is the truly
sinful scent of a sticky, thick, dark and rich fudge brownie. |

SPANKED |
Sado-masochistic holiday cheer: whip leather, cardamom, patchouli and
bourbon. review
Spicy Leather.
On me this is pretty much straight up cardamom and leather. I don't get
bourbon. The patchouli is minimal. This is like Alone, but leather instead
of dirt.
It doesn't seem to have much throw, nor does it seem to be particularly
long lasting, which is a shame, because I like this. I love my 5mL and
I will keep it, and hopefully with time the ingredients will strengthen
and become longer-lasting.
I think I'm going to make a ghetto version of this with some DeSade &
Sin in a rollerball in the meantime. Hahah.

BALTHAZAR'S SCENT:
LA FÉE VERTE |
A variant on the absinthe theme. Sugared wormwood, hyssop and melissa
with calamus, angelica and Dittany of Crete, blended with a Bohemian perfume
of vanilla musk, honey absolute and Moroccan spices. review
#2/300
In the bottle & wet, I think the first thing I notice is the smell
of Melissa. Very sharp lemony herbal smell. I love. There is an overlayer
of sugar to this, it's almost like lemon wedges dipped in sugar, or like
the wet stage of Spirits of the Dead: a very powdery lemon tea mix. There
are a few herbal notes, which probably comprises the Dittany & angelica.
I'm not getting any wormwood that I can tell. There is a soft underlayer
of vanilla musk which reminds me greatly of Antique Lace/Morocco.
As it dries, the melissa becomes a little less evident, and there is more
of a generic herbal undertone mixed with a vague honey smell. Now it smells
like a triplet to Antique Lace & Morocco. The vanilla musk is really
taking off at this point and it's hard not to see the resemblance. At
least for me. ;)
This is really quite lovely. Of course, I'd always say I wish the melissa/lemon
note lasted longer, but that's the nature of a top note.

SEAMUS' SCENT:
HELLION |
A scent for all rabble-rousing, nose-thumbing reprobates: black plum,
champaca flower, dark musk, patchouli, narcissus and scorched sandalwood.
review
#2/300!
OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. <--- that pretty much sums up my entire review.
Wet; this smells dizzyingly fruity & incensey & spicy and even
vaguely leathery, though there is no leather note. I swear it smells like
cinnamon + cherry incense. klfdshag!
Drying: ok it's not cherry it's plum, DUH. The scent becomes a little
less outstading. The sandalwood & floral notes come up to the foreground.
It's a sweetened sandalwood, slightly flowery (not bad AT ALL), slightly
dusty and powdery.
This is sexy sandalwood with a spicy kick. It is so beautiful and right
up my alley. I'm glad this came in a 10mL bottle, and now I'm contemplating
another!
