Zita
Georgia Peach
Sugared Roses
Red Woods
???

I'm trying to recreate a favorite perfume of mine that has been discontinued. It's called Zita by Paula Dorf and it has notes of tea rose, fresh cut grass, freesia, galbanum, peach, pink peony, iris, sandalwood and musk. A very grassy and floral perfume, it reminded me of that perfect turning point in the year when spring meets summer. I was an idiot and I didn't buy a bottle when I had the chance. Hopefully whatever combination I can come up with here will fill the void. Can anyone help in deciding what the last smack! single note should be?

evidently it was too wicked early and my spelling is horrific lol i suppose I really do need a Smack! with espresso

[supervillainess]

Pleasure, I think I would double up on either Georgia Peach or Sugared Roses for that 4th scoop -the Smack! collection doesn't really have the garden florals that Zita's missing (peony, iris, etc), but the Georgia Peach has a really fresh grassy green quality to it that might fill in the gap.

ETA: Split some of the FAQier posts into their own thread.

Just started buying products on here... have enough for months so i had to stop...but not before this awesome new product came out.

I got, expresso, choc mousse, marsmallow, van bean.
The expresso and choc are such strong smells that it makes a fantastic early morning wakeup wash. For the rest of the day you have the smell of a choc expresso with a hint of marshmallow topping drifting off of you.

I haven't used the other two I made yet, but...

incense x2, pom fig, and rasp plum, I don't know how I feel about this yet. It smells ok, but might not be the best combo.

cherries jub, honey nut, candy floos, cupcake. Holy crap, it's like you dived into Willy Wonka's factory head first and snorted any product available. (which is what I wanted, sugar rush)

I love any form of food scents, I have found Villainess to ahve the most mouthwatering amazing scents I have found!

Just so you know, you can still buy Zita here: http://www.perfumenetwork.com/zitafepsp17.html?froogle

[Pleasure]

Alas, I've tried perfumenetwork.com before and while it seems like they have the perfume, once you attempt to add it to the cart the website pulls up a message stating that this item is not currently available. Thanks for trying though! I certainly appreciate your effort.

I'm in search of a Smack combo that will please my husband. He's a fan of citrus, vanilla, smoke, incense and leather. Or maybe I'm just a fan of those on him. *g* Basically he said he's all for the Smack idea but he needs something that isn't even going to ping girly to him. For example I currently have Arcana's Nick in the shower and he thinks the berries make it girly. Don't even ask what he thought of Paradise Misplaced. *sighs* To relate his love to a BPAL scent - he is Dee through and through. To another Arcana - the very limited edition Hogmany and the more common but still limited edition Death in the Afternoon.

Help me get my husband some much need exfoliation while he gets clean! I'm reluctant to give him any of my Quick or Dead because that's all mine, but I will if I have to. I'd much rather give him Smack since he's kind of a two for one kind of guy.

[Robotnik]

Gawd this smells so nice!

Coconut milk, Incense, Red Woods and Vanilla Bean

I just received my first order of Smack today: fresh squeezed citrus, honey nut, limeade and tropical fruit. It smells good enough to eat (especially to my black lab, who keeps trying to stick her snout in there and get a slurp).

[likeoldtea]

I just used my Smack! for the first time...

OH.

MY.

GOD.

I can seriously say that this is my favorite Villainess product to date, and far and above any other cleansing scrub I've ever used. It's the perfect blend of exfoliation and emolliation - I was left with a genuinely healthy glow and no redness. I usually feel kind of raw and dried out after scrubbing...not so with Smack!

I got Vanilla Bean, Buttercream Cupcake, Lemon Meringue, and Berry Patch; it smells like strawberry lemon pound cake. And the staying power is amazing: my husband noted (with immense satisfaction) that my boobs smelled like cake all day. (Nothing kinky, kids. He was just hugging me a lot )

HaHa! Love it!

[laceandstars]

I received my first Smacks last week; I ordered:

Smack #1 - Fruit Salad:
First Scoop: Cherries Jubilee
Second Scoop: Berry Patch
Third Scoop: Pomegranate Fig
Fourth Scoop: Raspberry Plum

Smack #2 - Sugar High:
First Scoop: Buttercream Cupcake
Second Scoop: Marshmallow
Third Scoop: Sugared Roses
Fourth Scoop: Candy Floss

OMG, they smell SO GOOD. I have been using the Sugar High one and I *love* the texture an the way the scrubs lather - SUCH a good clean! I am in the process of making a new order... so far I have 3 more Smacks in my cart & am considering adding a 4th...

What about:

Red Woods + Incense + Vanilla Bean + Spice Trade?

I don't know if they would go with Fresh Squeezed Citrus, but you could also do

Fresh Squeezed Citrus + Incense + Vanilla Bean, and put in two of whatever you like best.
