Beccah Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Eanie, Meany Miney! A treasure trove of spicy fortune. Paying tribute to those tumultuous times, when men were men and pirates were rich, we've blended hand-tinctured yellow trumpetbush – also known as yellow elder – the beautifully aromatic state flower of the Bahamas, with a pirate's bounty of authentic rum spices and Jamaican cinnamon. With this money and power potion you might find yourself guarding your own good fortune very closely, ahoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: RUM ~ Intoxicant, used as an offering or appeasement for Gods, used in love spells, and celebratory spells. SPICES ~ Lust, love, invigoration. ALLSPICE ~ Luck, health, prosperity, money. CINNAMON ~ Male sexual stimulation, passion, lust, healing, protection, energy, creativity, psychic powers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay I'm wearing this one today. To me it almost is a masculine scent. It reminds of Burt's Bay Rum, w/a lovely LP twist. I mean it's definitely sweeter. On me I get a nice masculine spice. I used to steal my dad's Old Spice deoderant, so this right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseburger79 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Aw, this might remind me of my dad too then. He wore old Spice. That would be comforting-I'll have to try this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beccah Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 It's the Jamaican Cinnamon- it's so yummy! I'll say, I wanna buy a scent locket. Just so I can smell it right next to my throat all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo0073 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I am wearing this one today. I really like it. Cinnamon is nommy but not overwhelming in the slightest. Thia might be nice on the boyfriend, if I decide to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Cinnamon is one of my favorite notes, and this should be at my doorstep in a couple days, and I'm glad I'm seeing it's nomalicious! Question: how are the florals? Is it more of a creamy floral or more of a tropical-breezy floral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmmb19 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'll say, I wanna buy a scent locket. Just so I can smell it right next to my throat all day! Scent locket? Do you know where to purchase one? I couldn't find them here...& sounds like something I need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccah Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Scent locket? Do you know where to purchase one? I couldn't find them here...& sounds like something I need... It's tricky to come by those. You just kinda have to search around. Some people said they had luck on ebay, & aromatherapy suppliers usually are a good place to look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Actually BPAL has them, and in really cool styles too (they're actually on the "trading post" part of the site) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pony Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Eaney meaney miney sweet tart. Yep. I can't believe - something in this triggers a SweetTart moment. And I can't get past that. What's up, nose? So I put it on DH, thinking that it must be my skin. Nope. Sweet Tart...straight up. It's something in my head, because DH say sit smells "good" (which is as much description as you are ever going to get from him) and tells me I'm crazy. Sweet Tart.

katz Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Um, Miz Pony? Does your nose have a 'reset' button? Might try that... Oddly enough, that's happened to me before. I'll sniff several *really different* samples and come away with the same scent impression. I wait a week or 2 and try again...mostly it's helped!

Invidiana Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) This is a gorgeous creamy exotic floral with a wicked dash of spice; I get the feel of rum even though there isn't a booze note per se, which is probably because the spice are specifically rum spices. It doesn't come out masculine or Old Spice on me at all, but I do amp anything sweet; it isn't pina-colada-ish at all either (for anyone like me who isn't into that stuff), just creamy and exotic. Love! Edited December 16, 2009 by Invidiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sultry brunette Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 The cinnamon in this is beautiful! It is slightly masculine, but not overly so. I love this. This is a great power scent and would be a good cover for any work scents (including the dominance phero). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly B Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Have complete concurrence with both Invidiana and SB's reviews. This is a creamy floral with spice notes - more of a unisex than specific gender. Personally I had hoped this would be more of a man's scent as I loved my Dad's old spice - when I smell orginal Old Spice today I have total scent memory flashbacks of being held, loved and protected. I really hope they will do a manly reinterpretation of OS - more male than this - which I could see me wearing to work - with Dom or Leather.

july_girl Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I just got a bottle in a trade, and I love it. I love cinnamon scents, but not florals so much, so I was a little concerned. But its not overwhelmingly floral or spicy; just the right mixture of both. I'm wearing it to work today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the Old Spice flashback but not from this one, it was a amber based one from another etailer. It smelled like my dad so much it freaked me out.

Kovvy Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Actually, I may be the only one to agree with Pony! I was surprised to smell something kind of lemony, as it was not in the description-- "SweetTart" fits much better than anything I could have come up with. I do like it, though. Maybe it'll change on drydown, but if not, it's still nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I love the yellow elderflower, it IS candy-sweet on me. The spices, on the other hand, don't seem to like me so much; that metallic thing happens which makes me think if there's ginger it's not playing nice. But I can see why this would work on a guy, provided he didn't freak out at the top note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Mmm...thanks for the sniffie in my last order! This starts off as a kinda fruity-smelling rum drink, then the cinnamon kicks in, but in a really light, balanced way. I put this on with some B2 and smell/feel like I have been boozing it up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnanimity Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 oh its cinnamony... in the vial i smell cardamom kind of smell. i know there is not any in this but when i bring it closer , i can make out its cinnamon. its spice, most of it. its a masculin scent. kind dominant male after shave. somewhat like old spice my father & bro's used to use years n years back. I love spicy scents but to me it is more musculin to be worn. so better get for my man, when i have him good for men to wear with SWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladmyra Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 This is om nom nommy. I don't get any of the floral, rum or masculine-yness others have smelled. On me it smells like a yummy cinnamon/almond finger slightly Christmas-like dessert. It's quite soft and elegant really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
