Reviews of Asphalt Flower ![]() Renee United StatesShow all reviews | I am so disappointed that they discontinued this fragrance. If anyone knows where I can purchase some, please share. I find that it smells just like those Violet Mints that you find in the candy aisle. It's a yummy scent, very warm. As it settles on the skin, it almost smells powdery. I have one last vile of the stuff, I try to save it, hoping one day someone will be able to create something similar! Just a wish... 18th October, 2006. |
![]() calchic Show all reviews | The name of this fragrance is absolutely dead-on -sounds like something from a graphic novel by Frank Miller ("Sin City") and smells like it, too. Who knew florals could be so black and slinky? They are here: there's an intense vanilla-esque queen of the night flower (also found in Dior Addict), a viciously sweet night blooming jasmine and a black violet so deeply powdery that it nearly wraps itself around your throat. In case it's not obvious by now, this is not an easy fragrance to pull off; it's both sinister and incredibly sexy in a way that can only be described as doomed. Makes me think of latex and festishistically high heels, alleys at night nearly pitch dark save for one harsh cold flourescent street light in the distance...Great for conjuring up imagery but I can't wear this one to save my soul, it's just too-too-too wrong for me. If I suddenly dropped everything and took up a deeply Goth lifestyle overnight then yes, this would be perfection. Is that why I keep a vial of this hanging around? I never wear it but since it's discontinued, I like to have it in my collection, just in case... 20th September, 2005. |
