HALLOWEEN PERFUMES! Nocturne Alchemy- Sarcophagus

PERFUME: Sarcophagus

COMPANY: NocturneAlchemy

AVAILABILITY: Halloween Limited Edition

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION:Sweet Cinnamon, Clove, Allspice, Blueberry, Apples, Amber, Pumpkin

I don't know which year is this. I bought it for 5 dollars from live journal! Nocturne Alchemy isn't a company I usually buy my perfumes mainly because of the shipping cost. The most of the times, I am interested in just one or two bottles and they don't ship first class. I really like what I have tested from them though.

FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Tart blueberries and apples. Light spices. Fruity and fresh!

WET ON SKIN: Sweet cinnamon over baked apples and pumpkin, served in a bowl with fresh blueberries. It's an early autumn fruity scent. The spices aren't overpowering and they let the fruits shine.

DRY DOWN:It doesn't morph much. It stays fruity all the way with a touch of spice!

FINAL THOUGHTS: It's a morning scent for me. I really like it and this made me realize that I don't have enough fruity scents in my collection!

ARCANA- Chicanery and Chimeras

PERFUME:  Chicanery and Chimeras

COMPANY: ARCANA

AVAILABILITY: Silken Lines and Silver Hooks: The Fortunetelling Duo (Limited Edition)

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION: The other side of the Knight of Cups. Delusions, hallucinations, phantasms, and nightmares. Empty blessings and beautiful curses.

Rich benzoin over a base of Madagascar vanilla, golden amber, salt water, clove, sweet musk, pumpkin, patchouli, and sugarcane.

BEFORE I SMELL: I admit it, I bought this because someone was selling it really cheap on Livejournal! I can’t resist a bargain especially if it’s a good smelling one!

FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: When I smell this from the bottle I get a cologne and masculine vibe. A little bit boozy and very brown!

WET ON SKIN: It’s getting spicier; I am getting clove, all spice and nutmeg. It’s very well blended and the notes are not aggressive at all. I do get a salty note as well which is really interesting.

DRY DOWN: The cologne, masculine vibe mainly from the combination of benzoin and the clove it’s getting milder. I have to notice that in this perfume the different stages last very long and I was able to smell the base notes after half an hour or maybe more.

The wait it’s definitely worth it! Vanilla, amber and patchouli in combination with baked pumpkin! It’s not a foodie scent; it’s sophisticated and very attractive!

FINAL THOUGHTS: It took me more than a year to start liking this one but now I really like it and I am glad I bought a bottle!

COMPANY: Posh Brats

AVAILABILITY: Available through her site

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION: Deep, dark, wicked blend of dragons blood, real myrrh resin, black cherry and blood red currant with a stab of clove. Makes you want to do bad things.

BEFORE I SMELL: I have this for so many years… I didn’t remember how this smell like. I thought to give it a try. I see cherry in the notes and I don’t like that.

FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Not the bad cherry from the sample. Dragons Blood, clove and red currant!

WET ON SKIN: For a moment I got something like a cleaning product. I think it’s the myrrh which doesn’t play nice with me sometimes…

DRY DOWN: This has also a bubbly quality. Like a spiced sanguine soda!

FINAL THOUGHTS:  The clove goes very nice with the red currant but I have another blend with that notes which I like best.

Scent Of The Day. DAY 3!

PERFUME: MASTER BEDROOM

COMPANY: SOLSTICE SCENTS

AVAILABILITY: Limited Edition. Offered as part of the Manor Collection: Autumn 2012

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION: Soft Musk, Sandalwood EO, Amber, Clove EO, Myrrh EO, Vanilla, Aged Patchouli EO, Champaca Absolute & Aged Sandalwood Attar

BEFORE I SMELL:  A lot of my favorite scents include champaca as a note.  I love all the other notes as well. I imagine a master bedroom with a canopy bed and satin sheets. The scent of a woman’s perfume is mingled with the muskiness of the sheets, the other textiles and the woody scent of the furniture.

FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Sweet clove, a hint of patchouli

WET ON SKIN: I totally get the sandalwood now. The clove is still there but is not a spicy clove. The patchouli is still very light.

DRY DOWN: The myrrh makes its appearance. Now on my skin is a musky scent, sweet but the spice of the clove help it to maintain balance. On full dry down I really get the champaca absolute and it has a fruitiness in it!

FINAL THOUGHTS: I really like it. I have to wear it again to decide if I want a full bottle. It’s a scent for long nights in the bed with your partner….
