BORDELLO:
A decadent, deep perfume, lusty and luxuriant. The scent evokes images of velvet-lined Old West cathouses, tightly laced corsets, rustling petticoats and coquettish snarls of pleasure. Bawdy plum with amaretto, burgundy wine and black currant.
I am majorly bummed. I had very high hopes for this scent--the description sounded wonderful, and fruits have done pretty well on me so far. It even started out nicely, all plums in the bottle, and plums on my skin, with just a leeeeeetle bit of amaretto in the background--round, rich, and, I was thinking, the kind of thing I might want to wear on a date. But after about fifteen minutes, I started getting a harsh note. I could still smell the plums for a bit, until the harsh note became so strong and plastic-y that I had to wash my hands to get that smell the hell off of me. Took me three times with soap and water, too. Woe. Definitely up for grabs.

Centzon Totochtin
The Red ueen (if you like wood)
Fruit Moon
Jester
Lady MacBeth
Midwinter's Eve 2005
Vice
