    Supra

    I love the bubbly-snap of the champagne. I'm pretty sure it's actually a lime note (it's used in a lot of "carbonated" perfume notes), with that fresh, slightly bitter tang of the zest. I remember Super from back in the day, and I think I was a bit too young to wear a more subtle, less-sweet perfume then. The base is lovely and well-blended, a really nuanced skin scent. I don't slather as a rule, though, so a heavier hand will probably give a more prominent impression without being brash.
  2. I do love this, but my skin is problematic. It starts out as a sweet, non-musky honey with a lovely back of benzoin followed by a suble vanilla. I think the vanilla is the issue for me, because after an hour or so it turns ashy on my skin. Several hours after that, though, it blooms as the loveliest benzoin note you ever did sniff. The benzoin is the real heart of this scent. I almost went with amber, and I'm so glad that I didn't. I would absolutely love for a sugared benzoin to be released, because Mara's is one of the best I've smelled. If you want a warm vanilliac resin that isn't in any way astringent or dark and heavy, this is a lovely option. I amp resins AF and I am always cautious of them (sugared amber is lovely, but I can only tolerate a dab), but this is just the right amount of grounded but sweet without being over the top. I'll be hanging out for the next possible LE event to request a sugared benzoin, if nothing else.
  3. On me this opens up as straight maraschino cherry - not candy, not fresh cherries, but delicious scarlet orbs of that special cherry-almond sweetness that only comes from cocktail cherries. It settles down to a sweet and faintly fruity skin scent that is an understated vanilla and cherry. By understated I don't mean generic or indistinct, just subtle and not in-your-face. I'm quite the fan of this one
  4. Could I please nab a second bottle of Bonnieshanks, << already saved for you. as well as a bottle of July Girl's Cherry Bliss?
  5. I'm so glad I caught this in my occasional visits to the site! I have requested a PE based on a character I played in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign - Bonnyshanks, the bard. Her name is is not just because she has lovely legs, but also because she's not opposed to stabbing people if needed. She is a woman of a certain age (generously supposed to be in her 30s), but her charisma and charm makes age no barrier. From huanting ballads to bawdy shanties, her performances demand attention and win over most audiences. Think a more mature (*ahem*), lady equivilant to Jaskier from The Witcher. Honey mead for her favourite tipple (dirty/sexy honey), the poslished resin of her lute (benzoin), and the creamy whiteness of her notorious underthings (vanilla bean).
  6. Has anyone noticed any batch-to-batch variations? My original bottle from about 10-15 years ago is sweet and rich and pure, but my bottle from 2015/16 has a noticable bright citrus note. I wouldn't mind it if I hadn't had an earlier version to compare it to, but I really adore the more vintage bottle, which I still have and have compared them side by side. Is this just me?
  7. I'm in an open relationship with this amazing guy who hits every button I have. While we date and hang out like your average couple, there is something of a loose and casual sub/Dom* aspect to our relationship which we both enjoy hugely. One thing that I've noticed is that he is less excited by me taking the upper hand in our sexual relationship (as I am the sub) than when he does. I've noticed that cops and SS don't seem to have much of an effect on him, and I suspect that this is because of the "alpha female" vibe that goes along with it. Any suggestions? I'm trying out TMI next, but I'm thinking that Lace might be a better idea.
  8. This was my first try at a PE, and I'm still in love with it. As it's aged the sugar and honey have melded together into a crazy delicious candy-like feel, without being too foody or too ober-the-top. The cinnamon has become a strong but suble back note, almost salty, to help ground it. I love it to bits
  9. I've been on a real peach kick over the last year, which is a bit odd as I am not a fruity scent person. This is really nice! I was a little worried that it would be too similar to Buttercream Peach, but it's a different peach with a different cream backing. It's a bright peach that stays bright the whole time, but the honey and musk grounds it. A bright, almost tart perfume with sweetness from the honey and cream, followed by the musk and vanilla rounding it out.
  10. I fell so in love with the original, but alas at the time I was a poor student and couldn't afford a bottle. I was hoping that this would end up an exact dupe on my skin, but like all hopes this didn't exactly work out that way. What I get instead is an entirely different, but entirely lovely perfume. A while ago I was toying with coming up with a PE called "Altar Scent", with the idea of that mixed perfume you get from working at an altar - a mix of rose essence and sweet, smokey incense. This turns out EXACTLY like that on my skin. It really does feel like incense smoke rather than 'smoke' on me, and a cross between dried rose petals and rose essential oil. Chocolate and cocoa scents can end up like old ashtray on my skin, so I suspect that this is mercifully in the 'insence' categorty rather than 'burnt plastic'. It makes me feel like my magical juju is just barely contained - controlled power, but ready to use when needed. I'm pretty much in love with this.
  11. I'm kind of in the mood for a heavy honey and wood scent, but that's probably because it's winter down here

    I really wanted to like this, but I'm glad I only bought a sample. Musks are always iffy for me, and I missed in the description that there was an Egyptian musk here. Egyptian musk is always a kill note when it comes to perfume for me. My personal feelings aside, the pink sugars and white musks work together to give a classic, almost floral scent. I was to say 'vintage' perfume, not in that old lady kind of way, but more harking back to the time before aldehydes were discovered. Think fancy eau de toillet.
  13. Would I be able to reserve a bottle of Spring's Lusty Cherry?
