    Wynter Wakeneth Al My Care

    Very warm, rich, fuzzy and sweetly resinous. It feels like being snuggled up all cozy in a soft warm blanket or oversized sweater. A perfect comfort scent!

    I've never found a scent I liked!

    I'm going to toss in another big vote for Eat Me, if you'd like to smell like a rich vanilla frosted cake with berries. It's delicious! Zorya P is gorgeous, a very cool and elegant vanilla. Shub-Niggurath really is perfect gingerbread. Love's Philosophy is my ultimate vanilla, it's what i go for when i want VANILLA lol. Chimera smells like sticky cinnamon syrup if you like cinnamon buns, it's one of my favorites! Dana O'Shee smells just like sweet almond marzipan. I've never tried it myself but Detestable Putrescence in the Gris Grimly category is supposed to smell like melted vanilla ice cream.

    Chimera

    Sweet, syrupy, sexy cinnamon in the same vein as Snake Oil. This is a top-tier scent for me, I'm addicted!

    Smoky Rose?

    It's definitely worth a shot, since it's GC and you can easily get an imp to try. It's a pretty scent and might be what you're looking for!

    Smoky Rose?

    I always found Rose Cross in the Sin and Salvation section to be a smoky rose incense. Rose Cross: A profound symbol of an individual’s personal initiatic process, spiritual refinement and evolution, synthesis, grace found as a result of trial and suffering, and the alchemical process by which we transform the raw essence of our souls through light in extension. This is a holy oil, a representation of the triumph of spirit over matter: purest rose with sacred frankincense.

    Thirteen (13): October 2017

    You know those boxes of assorted chocolates everyone's parents put out during the holidays? This is that in a bottle! Very yummy and comforting, I think this will be a usual Christmastime scent for me.

    Pumpkin Spice Snake Oil

    Mmmm! Snake Oil and warm, cozy, yummy spices that really bring out the vanilla. This one just couldn't miss, and it'll no doubt age like a dream. So good!

    Creamy scents that aren't foody?

    Oh Eostre is just swoonworthy! She instantly shot up to my top tier faves, such a beautiful soft, creamy floral.

    Creamy scents that aren't foody?

    I love love love creamy scents! LE's Eostre of the Dawn: Jasmine and honeysuckle, sweet milk and female skin. The Bride: Vanilla chiffon, honey musk, and pale magnolia. De Vos' Unicorn: Sugared peony and rose-tinted vanilla with mallow, white musk, lavender buds, and a touch of apricot. Allegory of Chastity: Creamy skin musk and blushing pink musk with soft sandalwood, white amber, dutiful myrrh, and star jasmine. GC's Sudha Segara: Sweet milk and warm, healing ginger with a touch of golden honey and our blend of Ambrosia. Vasilissa: Creamy skin musk and blushing pink musk with soft sandalwood, white amber, dutiful myrrh, and star jasmine. I find Hope and Faith from the Carnival creamy too.

    What BPAL would this fictional character wear?

    The Intangibles for Orisa is perfect! (and of course Hanzo and Genji are both Ars Draconis scents! I should have thought of that). Thanks! I was stuck for the Shimada Bros, then a light bulb went off lol. I had a hard time trying to come up with something as great for Junkrat as Agnes Nutter, and didn't realize you also put Djinn down for him.

  12. I'm wearing Eostre of the Dawn for the first time, and the drydown is very similar to the Silky Underwear, Alkmaar, Fairy Jasmine, All That Jas scent family. The creaminess with the jasmine/honeysuckle combo is gorgeous.

    Eostre of the Dawn

    Ooooh very pretty! Creamy, milky, sweet, flowery and ultra feminine- this is exactly how Easter would smell! It's ladylike with a serious flower child streak. It reminds me a bit of Vasilissa and Venus Verticordia, and after some wear reminds me a lot of Alkmaar/Silky Underwear/Fairy Jasmine from Lush. I've been wishing fervently for an Easter scent for years and I'm not disappointed. Love it!
  14. I usually reach for Good, Sudha Sugara, Love's Philosophy or Full Moon when trying to be inoffensive. Basically anything that isn't super heavy on musk, incense or florals seems to do the trick.

    Leather

    Paladin!!! A thousand times. It's sweet, light, complex, and gorgeous. I can't wear masculine leaning blends, and I've always shied away from leather and metal, but Paladin is one of my must haves, I've gotten lots of complements on it. Paladin- Immaculate white musk, sweet frankincense, bourbon vanilla, white leather, and shining armor.

    Witch Dance

    Very sweet, smoky incense and bright red musk, with the dead leaves giving the overall sweetness some nice depth and interest. It's sexy, wild, a bit rough and raw. I could actually see this working on a guy or masculine lady, similar to Samhain, it reads as rather unisex.

    Melisande, The Puppet Mistress

    I had a bottle of the original but foolishly swapped it away, then discovered too late I loved it. Every time a BPAL jasmine crossed my path I'd compare it unfavorably to Melisande, which was my perfect jasmine. I finally got around to getting another bottle and remembered why I wanted this sophisticated lady back in my life! She really is my favorite jasmine of all time and the delicious duo of the jasmine and violet is so darkly, deeply, royally PURPLE! The other notes lend a lot of sweetness and sparkle, and make the scent really sing. Very dramatic, elegant, and substantial.

    Midnight on the Midway (2015)

    I wanted to try this scent for years, and finally got a bottle. At first I smelled nothing, strangely enough, then it went through a short dryer-sheet phase when wet, and then finally morphed into a gorgeous candied floral/incense very reminiscent of a darker version of my dearly departed Fairy Market! Since that is exactly what I was hoping it would be, I'm over the moon to have a bottle.

    Hunting for the ultimate _____ blend

    I find Allegory of Chastity to be a pretty jammy rose. It's the rosehips/rose petal/vanilla combo, I think.
  20. LadyLuckless

    ISO *Perfect* Winter Scent!

    Elf reminds me of a summertime Skadi, if that's something you'd be into.

    Ginger scents & the different types of ginger notes

    Shub-Niggurath is definitely what you need for spicy ginger cookies! Gingerbread Snake is gingerbread Snake Oil goodness, it's a limited edition but you might be able to track it down in swaps. Sudha Segara is a snuggly, milky ginger and definitely worth a try! Good luck!

    Scorpio 2016

    I was so excited that my sign had notes I'd actually like, I was expecting something too leathery or dirty for me. This is so complex and gorgeous: dark, purple, fruity incense with the subtle herbal notes adding interest. So mysterious and deliciously witchy, it could easily be a Halloween scent! Scorpio is very dark, but with a sparkling brightness to it, it makes me think of shimmering deep purple satin- dark and decadent!
  23. LadyLuckless

    Nasty Woman

    Nasty Woman steps gracefully out of the bottle all haughty, intimidating, expensive-smelling sophistication, and after spending some time warming up to you becomes a rich, sweet, incense-dusted, honey-vanilla rose of a lady! I adore her.
  24. LadyLuckless

    Dana O'Shee

    Soft, sweet, creamy almond loveliness. Like others have said, It's a dead ringer for Lush's Snowcake! Can't give it higher praise than that!

    Sleepytime BPAL

    De Vos' Unicorn is a new favorite of mine for sleep and relaxation. It's such a lovely, calming, peaceful scent.
