luna65 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) In the bottle, the currant is very bright and tangy, it's really all I can smell (not that it's a bad thing, of course). It lasts for a while on me and then moves to the background and the sweet notes come to the fore. It's a nice mix of the honey, vanilla and chocolate, no one thing is really stronger than another. There's a sense of everything sort of tied together, I figure the orris root and the amber are grounding it a bit. It does have a "cute" aura to it, I can imagine girls of all ages wanting this one!

laitcaramel Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I would love to try that mix, but I am not a big fan of chocolate. I tried BFF and it was more of a chocolate scent so I threw it away. :-( In the bottle, the currant is very bright and tangy, it's really all I can smell (not that it's a bad thing, of course).

luna65 Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 I have to say, I've only ever done that with samples from one company and it wasn't because of the smell, but rather, this particular etailer was so inherently evil that I could no longer bear to have her products in my house. In fact, they weren't even hers, she was just a reseller but claiming to do her own blending. So out they went and I did a banishing and that was all she sold (to me). But if you don't like something: swap it, sell it, or give it to a friend. This is the artisan perfumer fans' credo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivy_fiddlefox Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 This is interesting, I get the currant for sure. I smell a soft chocolate scent more after a slight dry down. I' not sure about the orris,I don't know if i notice it much.I guess it is kind of a "cute" scent. I think I need more testing with this to talk more but it's still a keeper for me! i think my sense of smell doesn't always work well,especially when my nose feels all dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sultry brunette Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The currant, vanilla and amber are the dominante notes on me. It is very pretty and almost like a sweet floral. It almost smells like it has carnation in it, althought I don't think it does. The chocolate is very subtle and hardly noticible on my skin. My overall impression after drydown is a mouthwatering hard candy that is not overly sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have to say, I've only ever done that with samples from one company and it wasn't because of the smell, but rather, this particular etailer was so inherently evil that I could no longer bear to have her products in my house. In fact, they weren't even hers, she was just a reseller but claiming to do her own blending. So out they went and I did a banishing and that was all she sold (to me). Let me take a wild guess here: www.femaleditions.com? Her web site is down, but I don't know if she's out of business or just re-doing it. I would love to try that mix, but I am not a big fan of chocolate. I tried BFF and it was more of a chocolate scent so I threw it away. :-( I'm with you. The only chocolate scent I've ever liked is scented 'Dominance', and I was already familiar with a rose / chocolate blend so I knew I'd like it. There has been no other chocolate body or house scent that has tickled my fancy. So I'm glad you said that about 'BFF' because I can happily skip it now.
