    The Pool of Tears

    My friend and I were in awe for how well it captures the scent of tears. So, kudos for that! When it's on my skin, however, it turns into a pleasant aquatic floral. I like it and will definitely keep my imp and show it's uniqueness to people, but won't search for more.

    The Lion

    I CAN'T believe I haven't given a review for this one yet! Amazing yet so simple. Exactly how described, exactly what I wanted. This is amber and spice. It's the most comforting and warm scent I've tried and I love it.

    Two, Five & Seven

    I was really looking forward to this one. This is my greatest let-down. It smells oldladyish just like a soap or perfume. Like every other rose. I don't like it. And I don't get any of the dewyness or the grass I hoped for. Hopefully I'll find the rose I'm looking for. ETA: It's really funny to read these reviews because everyone seems to get something different!
  4. Does anyone know what GC is similar to Cheshire Moon? MY friend loves it and I wanted to buy her something similar (I would never give up my bottle). Pele? Machu Piccu? I haven't tried those.

    Strangler Fig

    FIG! I love fig. This is one of the best scents I have ever smelled in my life. It's earthy and sweet, not something I typically go for but, it's fig. And I love fig. Thank you Figs & Leaves. I never would have known I love the smell of figs without you . . . (though Strangler Fig smells waaaay better)

    Black Lace

    smells like cologne on skin. Then a pleasant vanilla with a cologne undertone. Not very amazing, IMO, but I tend to amp fragrances with vanilla so that they turn into vanilla only fragrances.

    The Knave of Hearts

    What a weird scent. So first all I could was saw dusty cookie/tarts and no roses and blackcurrants. But, I was very motivated to love this one so I tried it again and got a teeny rose then a buttery pastry (not very saw dusty though!) But NOW mmm...now I get roses blackcurrants and buttery pastry. This smells GOOD! I hope it continues to smell this way.

    Antique Lace

    This smells extremely close to Madame X by possets! Very nice though.
  10. I'm not sure if anyone has said this, but later dry down for haunted is very similar to The Lion (on me). They both have that same warm amber.

    Jack

    I *love* this one when it's wet and in the imp, but when it dries down I get pumpkin spice candle. And all of the foody goodness goes away

    Croquet

    I would never of tried this except it was a frimp and I love Alice in Wonderland (I'm making it my goal to try all of them). Except this would of been one of the lasts. Anyways I get no woods. YAY! But actually none. At all. It very light and airy. It makes me happy. Like someone says I think of a summer morning. One of those scents. I'm surprised it's not very popular. Potential bottle!

    Dracul

    WET ON SKIN: Orange Blossom and Clove. DRY DOWN: I can't really smell anything else but sweet orange blossom if I try hard maybe a barely-there touch of Opium, but I'm nto so sure. THROW: Not wafting-around strong, but decent. I'm confused. This is NOTHING like everyone else's reviews. No opium, tobacco, mint and whatever else was supposed to be in there. And I'm completely fine with that (I love orange blossom). But now I'm worried that Red Lantern will just be caramel. Verrry nice <3

    Blood Kiss

    I first ordered this because I heard it was long-lasting and I was new to bpal. This is by no means a scent I would usually wear or buy, so I'm not sure why I bought an imp. INITIAL THOUGHTS: Why did I buy this? It's bitter. WET: Not that bad, but certainly not me. It automatically reminded me of ours friends house is Europe. DRY: Well, I'm awful at picking out scents I'm not familiar with, so this review won't be much help. It's not that bad, I actually like it coming from a girl who hates sweets/herby smells and adores flowers. At least I thought I did, until I fell inlove with The Olive Branch and actually really likes this! It's a very dark, myserious scent and although it's not exactly 'me' I enjoy trying new things and I might have to buy a bottle . . . AN HOUR LATER: I think I need to put more on for it to last longer (I was really scared so I only put on a little) but when I press my nose to my wrist I can clearly smell the honey and vanilla. It balances the darkness out perfectly! ETA: I can't stop sniffing my wrist! Yummmy. I need to see how much I wear this, but for now I give it a 3.5/5
