Delight - In ancient India it was believed that a specific combination of flower petals, when strewn across a couple's bed, would amplify desire and sexual pleasure. This blend is a blend of the same floral essences, refined into a gloriously sinful perfume blend. Frangipani, with rose, tuberose, and jasmine. Eh. Very floral, and not to my liking. So far I'm not finding very many of the Love Potions that I like. :(
Laudanum - The essence of the most debauched hunger encapsulated into a perfume. Desire beyond love, anguish beyond sanity. Nutmeg, sassafras, black poppy and myrrh. hehe, I actually recognized the sassafras note. It's kind of an odd one. This was very pleasing overall. I actually thought this was one of the sleepy-type scents so wore it to sleep the other night and thought it worked rather nicely. So, will have to try it again and see if I can pick up the nutmeg and myrrh scents, as I do like those.
Oberon - Orchid, white musk, and bergamot wafting over juniper berries, with a gentle touch of soft, earthy patchouli. Ooh, very pretty! This makes me think of Alice almost immediately, though they really don't have anything in common. It's bright and springy so that may be why. It's actually stronger than Alice on me, and so far I am really liking this one. Mmm.
Lady MacBeth - The essence of ambition, covetousness and manipulation: sweet Bordeaux wine, blood red currant, thyme and wild berries. First thought: UGH, wine! Second thought: Ooh, berries! The super strong wine dies off almost instantly and turns into a really lush berry patch. lol. This actually makes me think of that raspberry beer that I like, only even better. Nice!
Osun - Osun's symbols are hand mirrors, brass fans, brass needles, brass bells, sunflowers, and her creatures are the cricket and the peacock. Her ofrenda is thick with honey and herbs of love, passion and desire. Hmm. This is interesting. The honey is actually noticeable in this one, as it deepens and sweetens the herbs. I'm not entirely sure about the scent, but due to my recent obsession with peacocks I think I'll give it another try either on my skin or in the oil burner. Edit: This is a fabulous oil warmer scent! Mmm, mmm.
