perfumesniffer Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) This is an amazingly delicious rich chocolate scent, the other notes blend in well. Unfortunately, Leather has too much a-nol for me, so I'll have to hope the supply of unscented bottles isn't too small.

katz Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 On me, the first *tiny* peep of a note is almost like cherry, sweet and high...but then it plunges into the DEEPEST, DARKEST bitter chocolate ever. I realize after a bit more huffing it's the combination of honey and chocolate that makes it seem so. After a time the almond/amber (they go so well together!) come out of the background. On my skin I'm not sure how much cream or spice is projecting but 'tis altogether DAYUM!! This is another that would beg accompanying body products, cuz you don't want the nom to go away!

therapygirl Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I smell Honeycomb, rich dripping honeycomb and bittersweet chocolate with naughty bits coming out beneath! It is so delish I can't quit huffing. I wish I had a guy to wear this for!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 High concept: if Deliciously Wicked and Shelly's B-Gasm had a baby. When I first put some on (I bought a "virgin" bottle), in the dark, my immediate thought was, "Oh my gods this is Deliciously Wicked!" It's not exact but it does do a better job of recreating that vibe than my Epic Trilogy base (honey/skin musk/cocoa absolute), and that was the standard I was trying to attain (it does kind of happen with Burnished Cacao, but not quite). Truly, anyone who's a rabid fan of DW like I am, you need to get this. But it's totally that sexy gourmand evocation, although a bit sweeter - I would say - than an SLF would be. Not quite smutty but sexy. You could wear this in public and likely not cause a scandal although you would certainly receive appreciative glances. The chocolate and almond is a killer combo and all the other elements are in service to that, the spice comes out a little dusty on me but it's not that prevalent, thankfully. The amber and musk bring it down to skin scent level fairly quickly and hours later I still get a nice warm chocolate-covered glow...I'm sure Quince is going to happily snorf me for hours (snort + sniff = snorf) when I wear this for him and so thank you all: Shelly, Sean and Mara!

Calii Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Ohhhh yeah!!! ...I scrambled to order two bottles as soon as I got my sample,and am restraining myself from getting more ...

LadyVictoria Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Word! I'm wearing a bit of this today and I walked past a couple having coffee. The guy kept looking past his coffee date to check me out. He did this a few times I noticed, before she finally turned around to see what he was looking at. I feel like this month's new releases are majorly sexy and really amping up my sex appeal for some reason. So weird too because I only slept about 3 hours and feel like the Titanic fully restored in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyvey Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I got this UN. Yup Luna, if I didn't know, I'd have thought this was deliciously wicked, tho on me so far it's a bit dirtier. It IS quite smutty on me. still drying but I greatly look forward to torturing people with this+unCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly B Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I really can't top Luna's outstanding review - so I won't try. Here is what I get on me - almond, honey, deepest darkest bitter chocolate underpinned by amber and skin musk. It's not overpowering...it's a close to the skin, come get me studmuffin scent. I smell the cops - more before drydown - some after - but I like them so I'm not in the least bothered by that. Between the Leather and the Cops - it gives me one seriously sassy swing to my hips and attitude. All in all - this is everything I hoped it would be. Dead sexy. And I can not keep from wanting to lick my wrist. So - success. And the man liked it despite the fact he normally doesn't do gourmands. I think it's because he likes dark chocolate...

luna65 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) To Dream Lover? No. Regal Confection = uber chocolate amber Dream Lover = delicious creamy chocolate with a touch of orange.

kittenkat Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I may have to stockpile this one. I haven't smelled it yet, but the pastry scents from LP have been out of this world, and I have yet to miss. Uggggh, I really really want this, this sounds like it was made for me.

snowflake Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Dark chocolate, caramel, musk, amber, almond .... what a great combination! I can't stop sniffing my arm. After a few minutes, I cannot detect the cops at all. I'm just thinking about the phero blend because I did not wear leather before. Does it contain much androstenon? May be I should consider a 'phero-free' bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be I should consider a 'phero-free' bottle. Not much at all really. Remember, Leather is Dominance cut by 50% with Estratetraenol. So it's actually quite feminine, with a touch of "persuasiveness" added in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I LUV the way this makes me feel...cannot wait til I can take it out to play seven hours after dry down I still get that special dark richness,much like Regal Confection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonholly209 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Nuuuuuuu. I have to try to be good (you guys make it so hard!) and resist the urge to make an order every week. (Sorry Mara!) I was telling a friend about my fragrance obsession and she let me try a scent with a chocolate in it. I'm kicking myself now for not adding more variety in my last order. Glistening Buttons has made it's way to the top of the list for the next one, maybe dream lover too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinnamonmel Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I only tested a teeny dot of this as I wasn't sure what phero was in it, but it was really reminded me of another blend, which I can't remember, not Dream Lover for sure. I liked it though. I think perhaps it had something in common to my nose with Haloes Angelique although they are not the same. Wow helpful review huh. In the spirit of being more helpful, I'm happy to mail out chocolate oranges from 'blighty' lol, ooh and for that matter I have Dream Lover if anyone wants to swap with me. I'll come back and update when i can make more sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumbob Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Is this similar to Deliciously wicked? What's the difference between the two??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I believe I already stated it was simliar in my review. The primary difference to me is in the musk: the musk is stronger in DW whereas the gourmand elements are stronger in GB, and it has a bit of spice and almond which DW does not.

skye Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Hmm Deliciously Wicked is all honey on me. Weird. I'm hoping this isn't because I ordered a bottle unsniffed. Oh. I have access to those chocolate oranges should anyone want me to hook them up. (I prefer the chocolate mint ones myself.) I can totally be the Cadbury chocolate pimp.

Invidiana Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I have to say that this is Shelly's absolute BEST SLF gourmand concotion to date. It's heavier on the foody stuff than the musks, which I love, and the salty caramel note keeps it from getting too sweet and balances out all the honey/chocolate/cream perfectly. When it dries down something that seems like Egyptian musk comes out with a soft amber, giving it a good dose of sensuality. I'm going to wear this for the smell alone even if I'm not seeing the boy that day, it's that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
