luna65 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Touch of Ebil EBIL yummy goodies from the creepiest midway around…sweet vanilla cotton candy is made sinful with warm woods and dark smoky creamy caramel…spookily sexy yet also cute and fun for Springtime! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: VANILLA ~ Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing. SUGAR ~ Attracts love, luck, sweetness and riches. Lust inducing. LEMON ~ Energizing, uplifting. Longevity, faithfulness, fidelity, friendship. Used to attract spirits. SMOKE ~ In addition to the attributes of whatever is being burned (resins, woods, etc), smoke is for cleansing, purification, renewal, consecration, concealment and celebration. AMBER ~ Fertility, love, luck, riches. WOODS ~ Fertility, purification, strength, rejuvenation, calming and soothing, healing, protection, money, long life. NOTE: While the citrus in this blend is quite well diluted, please be aware that citrus on bare skin under direct sunlight can burn and even bleach the skin. Take care, if you plan to wear citrus perfumes outside during the day, make sure that the areas on which you've applied it are covered by clothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heh, "ebil" is one of those Internet-isms I always think should be pronounced EBIL! Those of you who've watched Spongebob Squarepants with your kids,* it's like when Mermaid Man (voiced by Ernest Borgnine) says "Eeeevvvviiilllllll!"I see this as a sequel-of-sorts to Santa Carla '09 - not that it's meant to be, necessarily - but it's that same sense of something so sweet and innocent then corrupted somehow. Like visiting The October Country in scented form.It starts out as a yummy fluffy vanilla cloud...I don't know if it's cotton candy to my nose exactly but there is a sense of crystallized sugar, definitely. That scent in the air as you're walking the midway, I guess. After a couple minutes the darker elements insinuate themselves within the heart of that sweetness. The lemon note is there in the top, giving a slight sparkle to the sugar but the amber and woods are a smooth shadow at the bottom. I don't really get a sense of the smoke except as an aspect of that darker side. We like what we like, and I've always liked the combination of bright sugar with thick silky darkness. Besides the OMGYUM of this as perfume, I think it would make a great scent for B&B (Y YAIS I LIEKS 2 SMELLZ LIEK DA NOMZ IN MAI SHOWER, Y DO U ASK?)*Apologies to those who watch it by themselves becaue they like it...I completely understand. My son outgrew The Fairly Oddparents but I still like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlitegirl Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 This is a nice scent. The vanilla fades fast or maybe settles into the background and I'm left with a sweet aroma. I keep thinking it's some kind of fruit other than lemon but there's no other fruit listed. So it must just be the sugar? I don't generally care for fruit scents other than grapefruit because they tend to be too sweet or decadent to me. So maybe that's why I like this... it's reminiscent of fruit and/or sweetness but not overly so. I'll have to try this a few more times and decide if it's a bottle or not.

luna65 Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Yeah I noticed the lemon comes out more in the drydown for me as well but it's not OH HAI LEMON IZ HEER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liz Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Aha ! here it is. hmmm...yeah ! what they said. "thick silky darkness" nicely put Luna ! however I do get a smoky-ness (a welcomed trademark of Mz Danna's scents) and it's what makes it for me, combined with the tease of lemon. Wow...now I'm getting the "woods", anyway I like this scent, ALOT !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovvy Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) At first, it's all vanilla and amber, which I think go really well together. Very rich, very creamy. There's a hint of lemon peeking out, and the woods and smoke in the background certainly do give it a little touch of ebil. Oh yes, on drydown, the woods and smoke really come out to play. Very nice!

Pony Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 This is an easy one to review - yummy yumbly yum yum. As a cousin of Sinister Pink, this is sweetness with a hint of smoky-woodsy-amber. The lemon is there at first - breakfast cereal lemon, followed by a breath of vanilla-y amber, and then the smoke wafts by (just a hint) and finally a woodsy grounding. Sweet but not sickening. DH even said, "That's a good one," (High praise indeed) and usually he is repulsed by the sweet scents I dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlitegirl Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I went for another sample of this. It's definitely one I'll wear, just not sure how often due to faves that get almost daily wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I am bathing in a cloud of this today and loving every second of it. It really is like an evil midway, with loads of vanilla cotton candy and sugar and decadent caramel...I love how there is that slight smokiness to the caramel that "ebils" it up along with the drydown that reveals a hint of sinister resins and woods. The slight tang of lemon fits in perfectly to give it some zing and isn't anything lemongrass and/or lemon verbena-ish but the good kind of lemon, like the kind in Skelly Tart. I LOVE this one!

Rosebud Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 This one really is EBIL!!! It's totally awesome & up Rosebuds alley! I get bucket loads of spicy vanilla, caramel & amber after drydown....while it's still wet I get something fruity but to my nose it's more pink sugar (maybe the cotton candy?) than lemon. The fruity topnotes fade on dry down but they don't go away completely. Luckily I don't get any smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosebud Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I've been wearing this for the last couple of days to work, it's quickly moving up to my top 5 I reckon! Anywho... Last night during a busy A&E late shift I hear one of the female consultants start whining about the smell of "Redbull or Dr Pepper". I ignored it at first as this consultant is well known for being whiney & snappy, but she keeps going on about it. So I walk up to her and say it's probably me, she just looks at me up & down and shakes her head, then walks off. A few of my male colleagues add more positive comments saying it smells really nice & yummy, & not to worry about the consultant. Not that I do though, HA! I love the way I smell! I don't understand where she got RedBull from though....seriously! What's wrong with her nose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 so many people have posted recently about others guessing totally wrong. It seems a lot of people (like me still) can't discriminate scents that well, just put them all into a few big crude buckets, and when confronted they can only grasp at associations within the bucket, however far away.

bruiseviolet Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I didn't like this when I first tried it. I was looking for a fluffy cotton candy scent and this isn't it, but it is still very yummy! It reminds me of caramel apples and cookies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 It's EBIL cotton candy! I think I like it so much because it is the dark side of sweetness. And it is a great scent for b&b, I love my body bubbles in this scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinster Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 When I sniff this I feel like I'm holding a box of carmelcorn in one hand and cotten candy in the other, alternately taking bites of each. I didn't notice the lemon until I read the notes, but yeah, it's there. Nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliebellikins Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I wore this to work the other day, and I love the smokiness in this. Gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Gosh,I forgot I had a bottle of this,I really like this scent on me,it is like what Rosebud gets,but I do get the touch of yummy smokiness...I am sloooowly adding drops of EoW to it *Imo,for the small $5 charge,you should leave the cops blending to the experts,but I had this one already from our last awesome sale,and so far it is holding the cops well,don't want to push my luck and ruin it tho Edited February 26, 2011 by Calii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethOSP Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) rinster, you NAILED this for me! I was getting this note at the edge of it, and couldn't put my finger on it and then you said it: Caramel Corn!!! I really like this! When I sniff this I feel like I'm holding a box of carmelcorn in one hand and cotten candy in the other, alternately taking bites of each. I didn't notice the lemon until I read the notes, but yeah, it's there. Nicely done! ETA: My youngest just walked into the room and said, "What smells like cotton candy?" I said, "ME!" and waved my wrist in front of her nose. Giggling ensued, and I told her that folks call this evil cotton candy!

Bella15 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 hmmm, I agree with a lot of the above reviews, but to me, it mostly smells like Cap'n Crunchberries, lol... I have a bottle of Golletes (BPAL) that I bought for the same reason - I love this one too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This is an odd combination of foody, sweet and delicious, with something a little more dark and menacing beneath the surface. The two kind of complement each other and cancel out the edges off each other, like sweet and salty popcorn do. I think there are other pinky scents I like more than this, but it is still pretty nice. I think I would prefer it without the hint of smoke, which starts to come out more strongly after a while, but that is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cutie.pie Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 This is a foody scent. Can't detect any particular note, but very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
