Deep herbs and apple with black amber.
Crisp linen, a smudge of ballpoint pen ink, soap-touched skin, apple shampoo, and effervescent science fair experiment residue.
Upon the next stage, a primitive cage has been erected. It is made of heavy, dark sticks bound with strips of deep brown leather. The stage is as dark as pitch, and from the shadows, you hear soft hissing, spitting, and an ominous chorus of weird rattling sounds. You approach with some trepidation, and peer between the bars. Your attention is seized by writhing forms on the straw bottom of the cage. As your eyes adjust to the gloom, you realize that the floor is seething with serpents, dark and colorful, languid and large, swift and small. You hear a sultry chuckle, and you see bright, unblinking emerald eyes staring at you from the corner of the cage. A woman crawls through the snakes, her scaled body as sinuous and lissome as the creatures that share her home. She reaches towards you languorously with her sharp-clawed hands and sighs.
A sensual blend of twisting, exotic, serpentine oils: black amber, oakmoss, green sandalwood, bergamot, jasmine sambac, gardenia, orange pulp, black cardamom, vanilla, blackberry, black musk, blackened vanilla husk, white honey, ti leaf, and ginger.

This is an interesting one. Deliciously fruity at first and a bit more rough around the edges as it dries – a nice mix of bitter, tangy and sweet. Straight out of the bottle blood orange really jumps out. After it dries, it becomes much more herbal on my skin. Then, after a couple hours, it gains warm and woodsy tones. Very subtle.

The staying power on this one is killer! At first, you smell all the individual components, and it comes on strong. After working 7 hours in a ridiculously high volume vegan restaurant (on a one hour wait before we open the doors type volume), I still smelled it! It had settled into what I love most about Snake Oil: the creamy amber spice, but with the added fruity sweetness of this particular blend. LOVE.

I took a big chance with this and I could not be happier about it. It’s a perfect summer scent and so pretty. I’m weary of fruity scents because they can be too sweet, and of florals because they tend to be too strong and induce headaches. This perfume is a perfect balance, and the snake oil blend adds a warmth to the scent. To me, this smells very similar to a red honeysuckle air freshner that I have, with a hint of pineapple – neither of which are notes in this blend. I love it and I intend to buy at least two more bottles to store away.
My only complaint is that it doesn’t last super long on me. I applied a substantial amount at 8am, it’s now 1pm and I have to put my nose to my wrist to smell it.

5ml straight from the Lab. Top notes: juicy red apple. I don’t get much Snake Oil in this blend, especially wet. As it starts to dry down, I get the most interesting hint of plumeria with the apple. It’s kind of a mealy apple. 10-15 minutes after drydown, it’s a dry apple on me, with no lemon and just a touch of the plumeria.

Red candy apple, juicy blood orange, candied lemon peel, and wet, cool tropical blooms. Very sweet and fruity, and so pretty.
