Dolly Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Fade to Black She was the very essence of enigma: her secrets would reveal themselves only within the space of her embrace, for the one willing to walk within her veiled aura.

goddesslynne Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Isn't this awesome?? I'm going to be getting a bottle, and maybe a beta...not sure which phero to add. This will definitely be a "non-work" scent for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I would love it, and that's why I bought two, unsniffed.....when I smelled it, the hoarder in me kicked in!! I hope 4 bottles will be enough!

luna65 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 On me this is deep dark sugary resins and woods...OMFG SO GOOD!! The brown sugar note is in the background but it's definitely present, and it makes everything so mmmm. Again, I totally nailed it with darkly lurid and lickable.

july_girl Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I got a sample of this today, hoping I would love it, but...nope. Something in it has a "dirt" smell when I wear it. In the vial its ok, but once its on, I got a lot of comments about it smelling 'muddy' or 'dirty'. I get the same thing from Shadow Dance; what ingredient do they have in common?

luna65 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Vetiver can often give a "dirt" impression, but maybe the patchouli in Shadow Dance is making you think the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 UPDATE: This scent has amazing staying power! When I woke up this morning, I could still smell it on my skin.....YUM! Glad I have more bottles coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 One more squee (now that I have my own bottle coming to me)...OMG I LUV DIS LIEK BURNING!!!11 (thus, requiring the use of capslock) For me the vetiver and black musk really lend the impression of totally charred wood and resin and sugar, like completely burnt, and I told y'all I like to burn my cookies, heh. It's like Sugared Bonfire on steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Anna Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Dolly, you know how much I rely on your descriptive praises for all my LP purchases. I love that our chemistry and tastes are so similar.

Invidiana Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Holy heavenly resin. This one is basically as if you took the deepest, darkest, stickiest resins you could possibly find and caramelized them in brown sugar. It's just so gorgeously dark and devilishly decadent! The vetiver and black musk add to the mystery but don't overpower the resins (sometimes I will amp vetiver to the point of it getting manly, but not here). It's very, VERY me!

Rosebud Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I wasn't expecting to like this one because I don't do well with deep resins or woodsy scents... But I really liked it. In the vial & on initial application it was very much like LP Black, but after drydown it changed to a rich & just slightly dark brown sugar Absolutely lush! But after half an hour or so it's all gone! My skin has totally eaten it all up, there's nothing left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paganlady Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 This is totally amazing! Dark & woodsy but sticky sweet also. This is definitely a full bottle purchase. I'm wondering at this point how it would layer with SWB.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 This started out like LP Black and after drydown it reminds me of MRF. I'll need to check tomorrow morning if it 'stains' my skin like MRF BI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Kitten Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I loveee this scent! It's so dark and deep and sweet at the same time. I can't stop smelling myself! The sweetness keeps it from being too dark, but it isn't candy sweet. First time I wore it I could smell the brown sugar a lot more, but now I'm smelling the woods. Anything else similar to this?

luna65 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 OCCO/NoCo Black is probably the closest thing there is to this scent available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopyace Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 OCCO/NoCo Black is probably the closest thing there is to this scent available. Whoa, NoCo Black smells similar to Fade to Black? By a syncronous event I was wearing the last of the sample I'd gotten today. I'd forgotten how much I liked the scent and was wishing I'd gotten a big bottle.

luna65 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) I believe they have a similar vibe, although Black does not contain vetiver or woods. Edited November 19, 2010 by luna65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolly Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 I believe they have a similar vibe, although Black does not contain vetiver or woods. Well, they have a similar "vibe", they are very different according to my skin chemistry.....because of the vetiver and woods.....Fade to Black on me is woodsy and dark.....almost smoky......I don't get that from OCCO/NoCo......not at all. OCCO is much sweeter on me.....it may just be my skin's chemistry, mind you......but, that's what I get...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Well sure, OCCO Black wouldn't have a burnt characteristic to it at all. I was just thinking in terms of what the darkest sweetest resin blend would be after FTB, and that's the closest one, I believe. But it's all a matter of perception for certain.

JOC Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 This started out like LP Black and after drydown it reminds me of MRF. I'll need to check tomorrow morning if it 'stains' my skin like MRF BI. The good news is that FTB does not 'stain' my skin like MRF BI and OCCO Gold do. I'm so happy that I have more more scent to play with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruiseviolet Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I was worried this might be too dark for me, but I wanted to try it because of the MRF comparison. Thankfully, this was not too dark for me at all. It smells just like Teddy Man 2 on me, which isn't a bad thing because I like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowflake Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 'Fade To Black' is such a lovely dark scent. It melts with my skin and becomes so soft and a bit sweet yet very dark. I had put my trial vial aside and forgot about it. Today I took it out as I feel very dark because I lost my boyfriend to another woman. It hurts a lot, so I try to comfort myself with a lovely scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopyace Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I had to post this because it cracked me up. My Fiance told me I smelled like the Ren Faire when I was wearing a sniffie of this the other day. She thought it smelled just like when we go to the Ren Faire in Bristol, Wisconsin. Must not have been too bad of a smell because she snuggled right into me after sniffing it.
