Mrschrissyrez Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 well it's white chocolate...cocoa butter so a totally different note I'm thinking cocoa butter is the culprit. Im going to go pull up the perfumes with cocoa butter to see if I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
july_girl Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ugh, reading all your reviews makes me wish I had tried this one;but I'm scared of honey scents! But Torrid Sorcery worked for me, so maybe I should be daring once in a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphindolls2 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'm scared of honey as well and most honey scents do not work on me, but in this one it was pure magic on my skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissHazel Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I wore Odalisque today with a small two inch strip of OCCO SLF on my breastbone. Unfortunately, the SLF didn't dry all the way even after twenty minutes so after I dressed I still got a bit of acrid scent on the back end of huffing myself. So I smooshed the back of my hands against that strip to kind of diffuse it and went to the bathroom and washed it off and took a wet paper towel and blotted my chest. I wore this combo because I needed to make the best impression on a man for a business deal, and it was a slam dunk. Despite having undereye bags from all the pizza last night (soda and sodium puts a whopper on my eye bags) and being in bad lighting, the guy was practically gushing about how beautiful, witty, intelligent, blah blah blah I was. Now, it's my first time meeting him in person so, like all men, he's a horndog but I think this was above and beyond because he seemed positively giddy. No deer in the head light looks but I'm happy Odalisque seems to make me all shiny and new with sensual super powers to bend men's minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOC Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Ordered a virgin bottle and a sample in my last order base on the reviews here and I am glad that I did so, particularly when I am craving for foody scents recently. I know many have mentioned that this smells like Halo's Angelique. Love the fluffiness of this scent. Cant wait to wear this out one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celrynnya Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I actually find that this dries down to a very clean, masculine scent on my skin. I'm guessing that it's the combination of amber and musk - a lot of amber or musk scents end up making me smell like a boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loquacious Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 This one morp's so nicely Completely agree! I haven't worn this in a while and when I first tried it I thought it was nice but that was it. I just now slathered some on, it's so delicious smelling and cozy. I REALLY regret not getting a bottle of this so I'll have to conserve my sample! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissHazel Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I just got a bottle of The Smoking Bun in a trade. Wet, it shares several similar notes with Odalisque. I'm still waiting for the dry down but I'm very happy to have something that I can possibly trade out Odalisque with even if it's a little different.

Synergist Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 This is very sweet and rich, and I certainly get the creamy, buttery vibe from it. It's just a little chocolaty as well, perhaps from the cocoa butter. I'm not a fan of this kind of foody scent, but I can see how it would appeal to those of you that are!

dolphindolls2 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm so happy I have this bottle, I can not believe how often I grab for it.

dolphindolls2 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yes, I have tried this with numerous combos, now I'm hooked on this with extra BI spray and BBM just a few dabs....

luna65 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Speaking from my perspective of having tried every scent in the catalog in the last four years (and about 75% of the PEs), I don't think there's really anything like it other than halo's Angelique, and the similarities between the two are a matter of (scented) opinion.

MissHazel Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Have you tried Dream Lover before? It's not exactly the same, but I love Odalisque, Velvet Kisses, and Dream Lover for the same rich somewhat chocolate-y smell. Odalisque, to me, though, smells like an alcoholic chocolate drink-- very creamy, whereas the others are creamy but definitely smell the chocolate like an undiluted chocolate syrup.

luna65 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's not exactly the same, but I love Odalisque, Velvet Kisses, and Dream Lover for the same rich somewhat chocolate-y smell. That's interesting because I wouldn't categorize the chocolate quality in those three to be the same at all; but then again I like chocolate in fragrance in general, so it could be different types and I would probably enjoy all of them.

luna65 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The only other thing which would be remotely close - IMO - is Slave To Sin, but just vaguely because that is a gourmand floral rather than strictly a gourmand scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissHazel Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) The strange thing is I hate White Chocolate in real life. Cocoa butter is okay (I know that's an ingredient) but I don't like to use on my skin it for too long a period. Odalisque does smell a bit chocolate-y to me, and looking at the ingredients for white chocolate (Cocoa butter, sugar, milk, salt and in some cases vanilla) I can smell why it's white chocolate. But it also smells a bit nutty to me, and is almost a mid-level milk chocolate. I think this is why my nose makes me think it's a chocolate liqueur like whatever it is that goes into the chocolate martini. I just looked that up and one of the common ingredients is creme de cacao which is described as: Crème de Cacao is a sweet alcoholic liqueur (chocolate bean) flavored liqueur, often scented with a hint of vanilla. It is different from chocolate liqueur, which is usually sweeter and more syrupy. It comes in 2 varieties, dark and white. Commonly used in mocha martinis or coffee drinks. This sweet syrup may also be sued to pour over desserts and ice cream. http://www.food.com/...834?oc=linkback I can see how my nose smells a difference between Odalisque and, say, Dream lover or Velvet Kisses, where I think the other two (most especially Dream Lover, is more like a dark chocolate syrup. The reason why Odalisque also appeals to my nose, along with Dream Lover and Velvet Kisses is that they are all STRONG perfume that have staying power. They're not annoying about assaulting the nose but if you pay attention you can smell it. I prefer this to some perfumes where I have to hunt (even on my clothes so I know it's not just my skin "eating it") to try to smell it even an hour after copiously spritzing it. On the other hand, something like Summer of Sin which is also chocolate smelling, is not strong but it does have staying power so I can huff my skin if I want to do that. It doesn't "reach out" to me like the other three. Sadly, I have not smelled Angelique (I know it's crazy popular--isn't it discontinued or something? I thought I always saw it at the top of a lot of people's "wants" in the trade thread?) Yup, just checked, sold out. I'd probably like the notes for Angelique: COCOA BUTTER ~ Lightens emotions, evokes feelings of love. WHITE AMBER ~ Fertility, love, luck, riches. WHITE MUSK ~ Self confidence and strength, sexual attractant, heightens passions and arousal. BUTTERCREAM ~ Nurturing, soothing, eases troubled relationships. Goddess energy. VANILLA ~ Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing. HONEY ~ Enticing, seductive; use to bewitch a straying or hesitant lover. Happiness, fulfillment but it has less to do with the cocoa butter than all the other ingredients (thank goodness I can wear honey-- I feel bad for those who can't ) For those curious (as am I, I'm constantly cross-searching perfumes) here's Odalisque's list: VANILLA ~ Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing. BUTTER/CREAM ~ Nurturing, soothing, eases troubled relationships. Goddess energy. COCOA BUTTER ~ Lightens emotions, evokes feelings of love. HONEY ~ Enticing, seductive; use to bewitch a straying or hesitant lover. Happiness, fulfillment. AMBER ~ Fertility, creativity, love, luck, riches. MUSK TONQUIN ~ Self confidence and strength, sexual attractant, heightens passions and arousal. aside from the Blatant Invitation in Odalisque (I'm a fan and so now buy any perfume I can with BI in it when I can, just on the basis of my strong affinity for Odalisque) they both have the same ingredients (though obviously very likely different permutations), yet Odalisque has an amber (not white amber) and musk tonquin (and not white musk.) So I can see, even though I've never smelled it, that clearly I'm going to have to track down some angelique or do a PE of it at some point and try to nail down the parts I like best. Additionally, Odalisque also, to me, smells like pecan pie. It's the nuttiness but also that sticky sauce. I do not have that educated of a nose compared to a lot of people, but to me this is very much a dessert/pastry, or a chocolate alcoholic drink. And for the chocolate lovers out there, or anyone considering a chocolate PE, I found this list on Wiki while looking into cream de cacao: There are three types of chocolate liqueur (great scrabble word, fyi): Chocolate liqueur, chocolate cream liqueur, and creme de cacao. Chocolate liqueur Afrikoko (coconut and chocolate) Ashanti Gold Djangoa (with a hint of anise) Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur Fogg Mozart Black (dark chocolate) Royal Mint-Chocolate Liqueur (French) Sabra liqueur (dark chocolate and Jaffa oranges) Chocolate cream liqueur *Cadbury Cream Liqueur[13] Dwersteg's Organic Chocolate Cream Liqueur Godiva White Chocolate Florcello Chocolate Orange Cream Liqueur Mozart Gold Chocolate Cream Liqueur Mozart White Chocolate Cream Liqueur Vana Tallinn Chocolate Cream Vermeer Dutch Chocolate Cream Liqueur Crème de cacao Crème de cacao may be either clear or a dark caramel color, which is often labeled "dark crème de cacao." The French word "crème" refers to the creamy texture of this very sweet liqueur, but there is no actual dairy cream in it. I'm not into chocolate and oranges but as a side note to this thread, if someone ends up doing one, please let me know because I have a bestie who freaking LOVES eating those types of desserts.

dolphindolls2 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah they are very different to my nose. Primarily because Odalisque is white chocolate. The closest thing to me is obviously Angelique. Is Angelique still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuTrix Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) MissHazel! WOW GURL! You DO do your research! What an amazing post...too bad we ate up all our Easter chocolate...I could go for some after reading that I may have to wear this toady now that you've put me in the mood. I would TOTALLY jump on board with you if you created a PE like Angelique OR Odalisque - pitch in da cash even too - - - and you CAN quote me on this I've not had the good fortune to whiff Angelique but I DO positively MELT over Odalisque and I adore the staying power in has...wafting up to me ALL DAY LONG. Absolutely delicious! Thank you for that GREAT post Edited April 10, 2013 by NuTrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissHazel Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks Nutrix. Yeah, I felt like Chocolate too after that, but all I had was some sambuca chocolates in the freezer (which I hate and only keep around for my boyfriend.) No PEs for me for awhile (I'm not sure if Mara's back to doing them. I'm sure there's a waiting list in any event.) But I've started percolating a plan of attack in terms of what I want done, perhaps as a self-reward once I achieve some goals in the next couple of months.

luna65 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Right, but you know I really don't get the orange as much in that one. I was thinking of the other because it has that "Terry's Chocolate Orange" evocation to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissHazel Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Huh-- I've smelled both and slathered both and didn't get the orange. Alas, all out of dream lover but I'll pay attention next time I put on VK. Nope, bestie lives in a different city so it's rare she gets to play with the potions.

NuTrix Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Odalisque, Titillating Temptress and a touch of Un Lace (to buffer all that sex in a bottle!) What a divine smelling combo (thanks Dol!) I wore this cop bomb to work...hence the Lace to tone it down...a little LOL. Aside from HUFFING myself all day, I got great attention. Nothing ridiculously over the top but lots of fun comradery, everything I said was witty and fun (and I only used a smidge of Lace - really!) It was a light fun day considering the cop bomb cloud I was walking around in Even from other women, just plain awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
