OH man. My DarlingClandestine and Sugar and Spite orders both came today - I am in perfume heaven.I didn't get much, so here is just a quick run down:
Sugar and Spite
- Grimoire Perfume Oil. Dark, smoky, woody, spicy, I love it. But this is a seriously dark scent and one that will definitely have a time and a place. Probably the most Halloween-seasonal scent I have tried thus far.
- Dessert Absinthe Perfume Oil. This scent is CRAZY. Wow, so it starts of kind of... well, gross. And just a cold sniff from the vial is about the same. But once you put it on, and it warms up HOLY MOLY it smells EXACTLY like Absinthe, just like dessert-freaking-absinthe. It is sweet, and a little minty, and heavily of Anise and what. This is crazy, and again definitely not an everyday scent but I am seriously impressed and I would totally wear this to the club. (Ha ha, I don't go clubbing. I wish!) I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who doesn't like licorice scent, but I would hope those folks had already guessed, what with Absinthe in the name, and all.

DarlingClandestine
- Carny Wedding Solid Perfume. Okay, perfume solids are my favorite above all, so I might be biased, but this is my favorite of what I ordered, and might be among the favorites of what I own. It is slightly sweet, like spun sugar, but with a smoky, incense-y base. There is a slight disharmony to the notes that make it so interesting to my olfactory senses that I can't stop sniffing. However, at a distance they melt together into something warm and inviting, just what I like.
- Selas Perfume Oil. Starts out heavily floral then dries down to a dusty, sweet kind of soft florally-green scent. Ugh, super hard to put into words, but I think this scent, out of all four, is probably the easiest, or a least the most versatile to wear. I wouldn't say it is an "every day" scent, but will be really nice for special occasions.
Final verdict - will order from both again! The shipping time for both was good (unlike another that I ordered waaay before these and hasn't shipped, *cough**cough*) and both sent extra goodies. Sugar and Spite sent a lump of Lavender and Fig soap, which smells like literal Heaven, and DC sent so much candy I could have passed it out to trick-or-treaters! Obviously, I ate it all. The products are really nice, love the complexity of the scents and am definitely happy with the purchases!
Inserting disclaimer that these are my opinions based on wearing the scents on my skin. I am not trying to say they will smell/work the same for everyone!
