  1. Maybe so. I wanna like this, I really do. But I put it on and go, "Who set my hair on fire?!" I'm gonna put it back and let it age a bit and see what happens.
  2. Please tell me how to fix. I duz not know how.
  3. When I said creamy, I didn't mean like dairy. It's kind of hard to explain. There was a smoothness there, a velvetiness somehow. And I didn't perceive it as foody except in that it had a very citrusy, summery scent. I like Thai food and I don't think Thai food at all when I wear it. I think summer, beach, vacation, fresh fruit salad, sand and surf... But I have a problem with this and with my Dolly's Hot & Sticky, and that is that the roller balls are so tight that they actually scratch my skin but don't let any product out unless I take the tip of my hair scissors and run it around the roller ball. Each time I use it. There's absolutely no sparkly stuff coming out of the Celebutante because of this. I nearly popped the ball completely out the other day trying to get it to apply product. I'm trying to figure out how to either get the roller balls to behave, or decant the stuff into other containers completely. These are the only two bottles out of...I'm embarrassed to say how many...that I've ever had that kind of problem with. My Lumina will leak if I turn it on its side but nary a problem otherwise, until this.
  4. OK I'm curious. What does oud smell like? Is this the thing I'm smelling other than the leather? Why does it smell like burnt match on me? It takes hours for it to morph into something I like the smell of, and by then it's starting to fade...
  5. Well, I can tell I lost track of this thread. Uisge beatha is Gaelic for "water of life" and the first word is essentially pronounced "whisky" so... ;-)
  6. I have not had any problems, and I am hypoglycemic and insulin resistant. I am not sure what anol is in though. I like PP so if it's in there I've had plenty of alcohol wearing it; also Topper. No more wiped than I would ordinarily be from the alcohol. Then again I have a very strange biochemistry. I went to a scotch tasting party where the scotch was all cask strength and I didn't dilute with water. I got snockered and had to hang out talking to Lois McMaster Bujold and Howard Tayler until I could get sobered up enough to drive home, which took about an hour, hour and a half to get stone cold sober. After about 4-5 scotch samples, a JD honey whisky, and a bourbon.
  7. VERY citrusy. Not quite creamy, but in that general direction. Love the sparklies in it but am going to have to loosen the rollerball to get them to come out. Not to mention shake the heck out of it! Yes, this and PP OR unCougar should do veeery nicely together. Specifically I think orange citrus. Maybe a bit of lime. ETA: And now it's morphed into a soft, vaguely sweet, slightly powdery...something. I like it.
  8. Well, I'm not getting any of the notes I wanted to get. I am getting smoke and a chemical-tanned leather, nothing else. Combined it almost smells like brimstone or something. Smelled like that in the bottle, smelled like that on application, smells like that on drydown. Maybe a hint of incense coming out now. Maybe. Waiting. ETA: A little more incense. Not much. Leather is slowly morphing into the smell of a good leather shop. Still smells like a just-lit match to me. I was so looking forward to this, but I dunno if it's my chemistry or what. I shook it well before I applied. ETA2: And now it has completely changed. It is a soft melding of incenses, not strong like Gitana, nor the same type incenses; more delicate and aerial. THIS, I like.

    GITANA

    Odd, I get no coffee, just lots of lovely incenses & maybe some resins...
  10. I got mine boosted - not that I can tell by sniffing it - and lemme tell ya, if I blend this with scented Cougar my man can't keep his hands off me...
  11. AlienChangeling

    GITANA

    I have discovered that I can't apply this one the way I do others - I can't slather it. It's too strong. But if I make, say, a couple inch stripes in my cleavage I have all I need, all day! It has staying power! Wub, wub, WUB!
  12. If you like pina coladas...an' gettin' caught in the rain... OK so this doesn't have coconut in it, but still... This is mucho delish! Very nommable! OOOO! I'mma try mixing this with scented Cougar!!!!
  13. AlienChangeling

    GITANA

    Oh wow. On first application it hit my nose before I'd finished applying it! INCENSE! Nice! Now it's a vanilla/sandalwood/incense smell...I can't wait to see how it morphs!
  14. Well, when a fan ranks my personal "presence" in with the likes of Jerry Pournelle, Larry Niven, Timothy Zahn, etc. I have to wonder how much of it is PP, LOL! (Yes, this really happened in the fan's blog after the weekend's convention.)

    GITANA

    This isn't the scent we're looking for?
  16. This sounds nummy. With my luck it's probably all gone, right?
  17. I should add that I can't see that SS4W does anything for THE PEOPLE AROUND ME. I get self-fx from it that are great, which is one reason I love MRF III.
  18. 1) I have moved up to TRIBBLE WRANGLER! WOOT! 2) Meng123, I adore your Holmesian avatar!
  19. I luuurrrve the concept of this, and I'd love to try it, but am just afraid of the florals. I get so stuffd ub frob florals....
  20. OK I am SOOOOOOOO bad. I got a Dolly's Hot & Sticky (amped with cops) and a Gitana. Because I loves me some citrus and I loves me some resins.
  21. OK I may have to give up and get this with some cops boost. I'm trying SO HARD to be good and not spend money but I'm about to just die....
  22. Have not tried CB. SS4W is a complete dud for me; worse, hubby dislikes it no matter what perfume I use it with. PP nails it for me every time. I use it "straight" when I'm in public, and when I'm in private I add some BI or OCCO to it. *EG*
  23. I have MRF3, with SS4W in it. I ADORE the fragrance, but I can't tell that the SS4W does diddly for me, either in this or in the UN bottle I have that I layer with other scents. In fact, my husband seems to hate it. I can put it on and he will tell me to go wash it off. Doesn't matter what scent I'm wearing WITH it, the SS4W just hits him the wrong way somehow. *sigh* Cops, on the other hand...
  24. Am having to hold off awhile on splurging for sniffees. The Saga of Da Teef ended up something like the tune of $7000. Wiped out my insurance, my latest book advance, and then some. *cries*
