LadyVictoria Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Omg will I love this ??? I love tonka, tobacco, and vertiver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienChangeling Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 LV, this is the one I was testing in secret. It is absolutely delish. A soft, almost floral but not quite, almost foody but not quite, evocation of a strong woman with a softer side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Mara told me that it was originally meant to be a men's fragrance but after it had aged a while it developed more of a feminine character to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyVictoria Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have a question. I noticed that there is a TM after Elementary. That means trade mark right ? How come none of the others have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Likely because M had to exercise her trademark due to certain recent events. Her Love Potion series is also trademarked in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potion Master Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Actually, Luna is correct, but Elementary always had the tm symbol on it, going back to the first brew in 2004.

snowflake Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Is this a unisex scent? Judging from the ingredients (Tonka bean, tea, tobacco and vetiver), it really looks like an unisex scent. May be it's a bit similar to The Masked Man which I also liked for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a man CAN wear it, but the way it has aged it has ended up quite feminine IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyVictoria Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Me too. Seems like we both can't do too much honey MDC so I will check with my sample and let you know. I am ovulating right now though so everything tends to be a party train on my skin right now. When I first tried Torrid S I wanted to bury myself in kitty litter, but after a few days it was amazing!

luna65 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Wow...I'm totally the opposite from y'all then because the honey is very potent on me! This has the same character, for me, as Tea and Strumpets, and I remember when Mara first brewed T&S she said that she felt like it was bordering on obscene because of what the honey was doing to the blend. It's deeply sexy but not dirty, not at all, unless you mean in the metaphorical sense. I wouldn't even say this is feminine so much as womanly. This is definitely a fragrance to be reckoned with...this is the scent of Irene Adler, The Woman, and she would wear it gleefully at whatever moment she next decided to misbehave. The honey and the tonka bean combine to make this very perfume-y on me, but I like it because it creates a very sophisticated aura. It's almost like this is Soiled Dove's cousin who is a femme fatale in an espionage ring and probably saved the world twice before breakfast. The other elements are below the surface, clandestinely lending their influence and support...hey, this metaphor is getting better all the time!

LadyVictoria Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The honey amped on me to infinity and beyond- and it does have that same vibe as T and S- BUT Jesus Cristo this is one sexy mothereffin scent!! After the honey takes a xanax what is left is very sexy and almost masculine but feminine scent. Like I have been playing in BF's leather motorcycle jackets in my pretty panties, smelling faintly of vanilla and drinking from a flask. I love this. It's sexy but not overly sexy like here I am This is more like a subtle sexy, someone who is mischievous, and daring. This reminds me of Sneaky Cleans evil twin- and I want to BANG it up!

missdarlyncherie Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) WOW!!! Great reports!!! The good news is...the honey in Tea and Strumpets does not offend me. HOWEVER...I'm probably going to have to sample this before going FB...unless it starts selling too fast, then I'll take my chances. I'm still a tad worried but GOD it does sound amazing. eta: WAITAMINUTE!!!!! It's not Tea and Strumpets I've tried...it's TEALESS STRUMPET!!! So...now I def have to trial it because I have no idea what the honey in T&S does. Edited September 17, 2012 by missdarlyncherie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missdarlyncherie Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I am all over the map. I am covered in fruit all summer ...but I love sandalwood. LAM Sandalwood and Resins is one of my faves, Phantoms Breath isn't fruity and I LOVE that, I even like the new Vintage Musk and I thought I hated musk. I also love Closer which didin't sound like a MDC scent. You and I share a love for LP Red, Sunfire, and Coconut Breeze but I don't like heavy incense stuff like Beyond the Veil. So...what does that make me? I'm not sure!! I have no LP identity!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
