    Pumpkin V (2007)

    Mmmm, oh, yeah, this is the stuff. In the bottle, I hate it a lot. It's got that gag-inducing TOO MUCH CAKE smell that makes me push Eat Me and Drink Me far, far away. But I gave it a shot anyway, and I'm so glad I did. It's nothing like that! It does have a certain sweet cakey/cookie...y-ness, but there's enough spice to balance it out and make it just delicious. More of a spicy tea, with pumpkin cookies next to it? The pumpkin isn't strong, but it's a definite presence -- so is the blood orange, though less so. The vanilla is strong, along with something else I can't identify but which I think is the neroli? Whatever it is, it's very nice, and I love the lab's vanilla so much. I've always been a huge fan of vanilla, but never as a skin scent, because everywhere else I've smelled it from is so artificial and sickly-sweet. BPAL vanilla is smooth and creamy and amazing, definitely a favorite note of mine. (And it always stays on my skin in a really lovely form for a SHOCKING amount of time -- I've had vanilla left from Snake Oil almost a week later, if I really sniffed at my arm.) I'm surprised the lemon peel isn't stronger, because usually anything lemon really takes over on me (I don't mind -- I LOVE lemon). In this one, it's barely there, but that's okay, 'cause I wasn't interested in this for the lemon. I knew I was taking a chance when I ordered this one, because it could have gone so wrong, but I lucked out; It's my new favorite!

    Jazz Funeral

    Got this as a frimp with the order I got on Saturday. Yay! I'd been hoping to get this one! In the imp: REALLY sweet -- fruity. Like cherries, or... pomegranate? But dirty, too. It's very nice, but seems like it's going to be the kind of thing I can't stand and my sister loves. (She loves really sweet things like Drink Me & Eat Me, whereas they make me feel a bit sick.) On: Oh, this is so good. It's a cup of lemony tea, outside somewhere farther south where it's so humid on a summer morning and the dirt on the ground smells so sweet. I've been hoping to find a scent that smelled JUST LIKE THIS, but I wasn't expecting Jazz Funeral to be it! DEFINITELY buying bottles of this. I think I love it more than Snake Oil.
