Blood Bath
Delightful Rot
Notes:
A sexy, romantic bath with a vampire. Crisp water soaked with rose petals and a trickle of blood and musk. NOTE: No actual blood was used in the creation of this perfume, I promise.
In the vial and when first applied this is mega rose, and that's ALL it is. It's not a bad perfume, but man am I over rose - I seem to have acquired eleventy million rose perfumes lately. After a few minutes it did seem to smell a bit watery, which was quite an odd combination as rose is usually more of a creamy floral - on me, at least. It was kind of interesting, but watery florals don't do it for me. The musk did come out a little in the dry down, but mostly this is just a honking big slap in the face with R.O.S.E. Sillage was pretty high at first, but calmed down after the watery element came out. It lasted a good 7 hours or so and then I had a shower, so who knows how long it might have gone on for?

2/5 Sorry rose, welcome to Dumpville. Population: you.
Day 112!
I didn't care for this one either, though it was distinctly less rose-y on me! I agree it did smell kind of watery though.
ReplyDeleteThe watery bit surprised me - I've never smelled a watery rose scent before. It's quite odd.
DeleteYour rating cracked me up! Why do the "bad" ones always end up lasting the longest? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's always the way! The more you dislike the smell of something, the longer it hangs around. UGH.
DeleteMaybe I am in an indignant demographic of one, but why call something I'm supposed to wear as perfume 'Rot'? It conjures images of garbage! They could make the most beautiful perfumes on earth, I wouldn't touch them with a pole. And enough with the whole vampire thing - the last sexy vampire I cared about was Gary Oldman and that was 1992. End rant ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's not a name I'm keen on either, but I think it's just part of that 'anti-tweenness' thing where companies give lovely products deliberately ugly names, like Urban Decay. There are a couple of perfumes from there I have quite liked (surprisingly the masculine ones), but nothing I'd get a full bottle of.
