REVIEWS

Fragrantica - I stumbled upon a sample of this while clearing out some boxes in my storage room and immediately when on line a purchased two bottles. The sample was everything I was looking for in a vanilla perfume. The scent had me floating inside big puffy cloud of smokey vanilla & black tea. Absolutely heaven in a bottle and decent staying power. Unfortunately, the sample turned out to be much stronger and longer lasting than the full bottled perfume. While I still adore the fragrance and wear it often, I go through a bottle stupid fast. Its probably my most repurchased fragrance as a 50ml bottle doesn't last me more than a few months and I need to have this scent in my collection at all times. That Tainted Love scent cloud is vital to my happiness.

Fragrantica - GREEN VANILLA & SANDALWOOD. This has a powdery, tonka-like gauze over green vanilla & sandalwood, and the tannins from tea read leather to my nose. Picks up cherry nuances as it dries down, but it's relatively linear... this scent makes me think of being on a motorcycle in summer. Small projection but moderate longevity

Fragrantica - This was my first ever "real" perfume and I still love it to this day. I bought it from Sephora back in 2014. Something about this smells like fruity pebbles, but like gothic, mature fruity pebbles. It's perfect as a cozy bedtime fragrance but also as a "going out" fragrance.

Fragrantica - I fell in love with Dead Sexy at first spray, but Tainted Love took me a bit longer to come around to. Now I can't stop thinking about it. The vanilla note feels very different between the two and this one really conjures up images of dank, mushroom covered tree stumps in a dark forest. Bottom line, it's like Dead Sexy's older goth sister and I absolutely love it.

Fragrantica - I get all four of the notes that are in this: major vanilla and tea leaves, minor orchid and sandalwood. This all comes together for me in a comfy, milky, yet sensual fragrance. I also get the tobacco vibe that other reviewers have and assume that's the tea leaves. I love this scent.

Fragrantica - A friend of mine gave me a sample size of Tainted Love a couple months back, and I've been addicted ever since. Tainted Love is a mysteriously sexy scent and I can't get enough of it. I feel like the characteristics of this perfume don't match with me (it's very sexy, i'm more of a cutesy kinda gal) but I just can't help but love it. I like to wear this perfume when I'm out running errands with my boyfriend and it definitely grabs your attention.

Fragrantica - It's lovely, sensual, slightly unusual, not too strong and very seductive to my nose.
