Potion Master Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Sugared Black Currant * Deeper and rounder than red currant, with a hint of exotic mystery. A trio of black currant oils melded with white and powdered sugars. (Author of magical romance novels Diane J Reed, the lovely face on this label, chose this one because: "to dream of black currants mean you will find happiness in life & loyalty in love." !!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosebud Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 This one is fantastic on its own, but it could easily be incorporated into a more complex fragrance mix. It's a fresh & fruity scent, not sickly sweet like black currant jam is. The freshness to me smells like the leaves on a black currant bush do, ( if you've smelled any). It gives this sugared an almost floral undertone even though this is a fruity scent. I got this one in a (quite possibly silly) attempt to create my own layer dupe of one of my favourite LP's; "Love at first bite". I tried layering it with hot cocoa, but to my surprise the chocolate overpowers the black currant almost entirely. I was expecting it to be the other way around. I guess I'll have to find another combination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Oh wow. Sighs from the chaise. ..if I had a chaise. This is beyond decadence. This would never be construed as a bright girly thing, at least not on my dkin. Standing alone, it is a four season scent for a wiser tthan anyone suspects scent. Layered with a lighter vanilla and spices, that's a nice dinner and some wine. With a heavier hitter, say a bourbon vanilla, a tobacco, an orange-tinged whisky, some musk.. well, that's moving from elegant to trouble-with-a-capital-T. Mm-mmm-mmmmmm, Miss Mara, you handed over the key to Pandora's box with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witty Kitty Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) This was quite green upon application and dried down to something nicely elegant and rather sensual. A great option for when I want to wear something fruity but not super sweet or bright. Looking forward to layering with this with a spice or tea scent... ETA that I've since layered this with Sugared Black Tea and they are lovely together. Edited April 1, 2016 by Witty Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
