Vamp Alkemia

... or rather a wannabe goth?

Vamp! Sounds black, dangerous, bloodthirsty.
Vamp could also be the certain femme fatale, black widow, seductress, and man-killing sexy woman.
So, the scent really doesn’t fit either of the two associations, even though I wish it did.
Vamp is dark, smoky-sweet. It somehow smells muffled. There’s nothing bright or intoxicating about it. I can only associate opium and labdanum with the original Opium from YSL, but otherwise, I would describe it more as a sweetish something. Tonka bean gives Vamp a bit of a soft and creamy touch, and the balsam then completely forces Vamp to the ground.
With a leather whip, from which fluffy, pink pom-poms hang, you give Vamp a little flick to bring some movement into it. But Vamp only twitches slightly and stays down until you’ve counted to 10. Vamp grabs your skin and practically crawls in. Musk is only barely detectable and wouldn’t have been missed if it had been completely left out.
Well, Vamp has evaporated. What sounded threatening and sexy turned out to be more like black soot that was blown away with a gust of wind.
You can wear it, no question. It just smells unspectacular to my nose. But for those who want something bright-dark and smoky-sweet, Vamp will surely appeal to them.
