Chaos Theory VII: Fougere, 44 2015 (LE,Chaos Theory VII): (Company says: Sharply fernlike lavenders and lilacs with a herbaceous, oakmoss-tinted touch.)Above the Shoulder.
In bottle: Very delicate and hard to pin down. Lavender fougere dominant, with a floral in the lavender and lilac range layered over it. I can swear to the lavender in the fougere, but not to the second floral. It goes very well with the fougere. There it a delicate spice, possibly a citrus, and something giving it depth, possibly amber or amberette. It's mostly about the androgynous florals though. Wet: Strongly Lime over lavender fougere. Not nearly as floral at first, though the florals rise to support lavender. I am still having trouble pining down what flower it is , but am suspecting it's something I have no chance of guessing like honeysuckle or daisy. There is still a sweetness and a sexiness that could be amber or amberette, that supports the fougere beautifully, and rises as it wears. The lime backs down to dance with that hint of spice. This is absolutely lovely, likely a little too delicate for my skin chemistry, but sublime. It slowly evolves towards a floral supported by probably Amberette and possibly a touch of honey with he soft fougere as a canvas. Dry: Floral and amber or Amberette over fougere fading eventually to lavender fougere. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/301806103614?
Chaos Theory VII: Gourmand #243 2015 (LE,Chaos Theory VII): (Company says: Sweet vanillas, thick chocolates, burnt caramels, and spun sugars.) Above the Shoulder.
In bottle: Possibly chamomile. Possibly lemongrass. Vanilla and sugar at a base. I am pretty sure there is poppy and possibly something else herbal. Wet: Not chamomile after all for which I am grateful as my skin chemistry does terrible things with it. It is now strongly pomegranate and I'm thinking red autumn berries. It's not too sweet, though it still smells of sugar. I'm picking up a touch of poppy still and that vaguely citrus herbal edge I'm still thinking might contain lemon grass and clearly something else I can't identify. The possibly lemongrass or rind and an herb holds firm as the more volatile bits wear away This is pleasingly red and Autumnal. Dry: Pomegranate and lemongrass. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/301806105684?
CHAOS THEORY VII: WOODS, #99 2015 (LE,Chaos Theory VII): (Company says: The root of these scents (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) are foresty and camphoraceous, riddled with deep greens and lush brown tones.) Just Below the Shoulder.
In bottle: Very sharply green. I'm guessing cedar dominant, with mixed forest around it, since there is a richness to the woods suggesting multiple trees. There is a cool softness underneath that makes me think of stone in winter. Wet: More pine to it than in the bottle and the whole thing is gentler and smoother. It really does smell like mixed forest in winter, as there are deciduous woods in there but no hint of leaves. The subtle cold granite feel lingers also and a hint of something herbal tangles with the hint of camphor. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/301806111721?
A LOW CANDLE-LIT ROOM 2013 (LE, Yules): (Company says: Candle wax and waxen "skin," rotting leather and reeking damp wood, and the ashes of a yawning, cold fireplace.). 3/4 Full.
MUTANT HOT-RODDERS FROM HELL HIGH 2013 (LE, Retail Exclusive Oils): (Company says: Shiny black leather jackets, gleaming silver studs, black pepper, pungent lime, and hellfire). 1/2 Full.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/301806095856?
NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY 2010 (LE, Halloweenie): (Company says: Dewy green leaves colored by Moroccan amber, ginseng, and rooibos.) Just Below Label. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/301806116386?
