So I was planning on posting pictures of my order when I go it...but due to excitement I tore everything open. I have no shame....none at all. But everything was packaged so wonderfully! Complete with creepy twins, black ribbon, wax seals, and candy canes! Onward to the smells!
The Halloween 2013 Sampler Pack
Fiend
"Ripe apple pulp, tart mandarin, vanilla bean, and a fiendish ribbon of black amber."
Okay...first of all...Fiend is my favorite word to use. It just sounds nice to say. Fiend, Fiend, Fiend. Anyway at first smell on the skin I smell...honeysuckles? Weeeeird. But lovely..reminds me of summer down here in Alabama. and normally I despise florals...but this is just...amazing. The die down is vanilla and black amber. Very lovely indeed.
Sinister
"Le Carnival Noir! Black licorice whips, tea leaves, and incense smoke from darkened caravans"
First thing I smell...LICORICE. So much licorice...gah. Not liking this at all. But the dry down...oh this is nice. Tea and incense smoke. This smells like my kitchen when I have a late night cup of tea. I can get over the licorice.
Goblin
" Blackened honey kissed by night blooming flowers and a ghostly whisper of smoky vanilla"
Oh Mama. This smells like nag champa. Yesssss my precioussss. Honey tends to smell like piss on me. But not this oh no sir. Okay now the dry down..vanilla cookies and incense. Must get more of this!
These are some general catalogue scents I ordered also...
Leopold
"A sweet blend of vanilla bean, amber, musk, and white pepper."
*moans* This is heaven...enough said.
Brewster
"Buttercream icing, candied violets, and vanilla cake."
Not really getting the violets...just lovely cake and icing. This is a more mature vanilla scent. Me likey.
Miss Fortune
" Curiously sweet and dark. Tobacco leaf, a trio of rich musks, new mown hay, and a drizzle of creamy vanilla bourbon."
Upon first sniff I smell the hay...but very faintly. Then creamy vanilla....then the die down is musks. Oh yes...full size away!
Some freebies I got:
Sugar frost
"A creamy, beautiful marriage of vanilla, a kiss of mint, and a top quality Indian attar".
Oh lord mint! This made me shiver...oh this is new. What the hell is attar? *quickly searches* Oh it is basically Indian perfume. Which means incense! O yea! Full sized yes please.
And I was given a peppermint clove lip balm after posting on the Facebook page about the yule items just being put up after my order was placed. And I want...no..need clove lip balm in my life. Is it awesome? Yes. Does it leave my lips sticky so my man refuses to kiss me? Nope. Holy grail lip balm...perhaps!
