scourger Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Magical Properties: Love, lust, passion, desire and riches.Prominent Notes: Berries, Fruits, dusky Florals, Musks, Ylang Ylang, Woods, and Resins In the bottle and on, wet: Fruity awesomeness. Rich, and decadent. The scent of an decadent spread of the ripest fruits. Drydown: As the feast wears on, and the sky outside darkens, the scent of heavy florals takes over the room. Expensive spices and incense mingle with the flowers. Really, this is oppulence, and femininity. You can almost smell the nubile serving boys as they wander by.

DeliberateAngel Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I bought this as a gift for a friend and kept it for myself. This reminds me of BPAL's Lust which is one of my all time favorite scents. It must be the Ylang Ylang! This is super rich and decadent and reminds of an expensive old perfume my grandmother would wear. I can't pick out the notes but I dont get fruity or foody. More like a red musk, ylang ylang, ambery type of scent. This is lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Thank you ladies, for your reviews on this one.....I was torn, but finally got some, based on your thoughts about it. It is fabulous. So glad I got some before it is gone forever! Edited January 7, 2008 by Dolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliberateAngel Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I did not know Messalina was going to not stick around : ( If I had known I would have hoarded some away. Good thing there are plenty of new scents to fill the void ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing there are plenty of new scents to fill the void ; ) Yes, Messalina is absolutely hands down one of my favorites. So sad to know that it will be no more.....BUT, on the upside, I do have a bottle that I am rationing out a little at a time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countesszero Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have almost a whole bottle too. It's good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have almost a whole bottle too. It's good stuff. Yeah, I know that the lovely ladies have said that they can't re-create it, but I wish they could try to do a spin-off on it. I tried Eleven as a substitute, but there is something in it that goes terribly awry on my skin..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
