Sugar and Vice is Alkemia's Arcanum Experiment 4. This fragrance is exactly what is described on Alkemia's website: A milky, silky veil of inviting lactonics, vanilla, and praline marshmallows hiding a backstory of almondy-cyanide, raunchy patchouli, illicit tobacco, and the smoke of burning evidence. Granted I don't know what almondy-cyanide is supposed to smell like. Dangerous, perhaps? I think my favorite part of this fragrance is the drydown. It is smoky and smells of the burnt sweetness of sugar. The patchouli also gives me a hippie vibe. Its not super strong but its there and its not offensive. I would definitely buy a full bottle if they decide to release it as such. Right now its only available in 5ml bottles.

      I need to review the 6 other experiments I received from them. I'll get there eventually. 😊😊
