Yes, definitely a lemon note, like maybe the lemon blossom in Carnval Diabolique. Might turn out okay, but honey is usually horrible and cloying on me.

This smells remarkably like Flesh-Eating Reindeer to me. I don't know why. Maybe a slight sugary tang?

Not really sure I like it.

Oh my. I think I hate this. One of my first instant hates in a long time.

Burning yet moldy leaves. Washed off after only a few minutes hoping that my coworkers weren't thinking "what IS that smell?!"

This makes me think of Host of the Air- a dark herbal scent that my husband calls "toilet cleaner".

Nice but would like a little more black sage.

Oh argh. I really liked this for the first five minutes, it reminded me of Lune Noire, but then it dried down into like a wet yet powdery dark flower. Beautiful bottle though.

wonderful scent. Wore it today, the first cold rainy day.

It is a sparkling apple cider for me.

My boss said "oh it smells like autumn"

I don't think he realized it was (most likely) mainly me though.

Perfect.

Doesn't morph over time.

oh no. The dreaded honey. I was hoping it would be more fig and blackberries, but no.

I will keep the bottle, hoping that it morphs and because I am collecting all the Lunacies of this year, but I don't think it will be as well loved as Strawberry or Smoky Moon.

ETA: I take it back. Apparently, if I slather it, it smells really good, though I am radiating "berry" throughout my office. It seems if I put a lot on, the honey is less.

Still waiting for my Berry Moon CnS. I ordered July 8th, and now they are shipping orders placed on the 12th and later. I emailed last week and they said they are working on it and it will be shipping out "soon". Anyone know if anything is backordered?

Yes, honey and flowers, but smells like some sort of vegetable and grass underneath.

Pleasant and springy.

I didn't like this much at first, but it is starting to grow on me. It seems to me that there is a cream note in it. Pink sugar, marshmallows, and vanilla cream, like a pudding.

ETA: this smells fabulous. Not my usual type of scent but perfect for a warm cuddly summer fragrance.

This smells like warm cinnamony apples. Not too much Snake Oil, unless that is what is giving it the cinnamon note for me.

Slight orange but that is it.

Also burns a bit. Doesn't seem to have much throw but smells really nice.

The Lab sells caps with glass wand applicators on them if you find applying from the bottle to be a bit difficult and messy.

 

You can purchase them here, http://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/sample.html (scroll all the way to the bottom)

 

 

White Rabbit is one of my favorites! Great choice!

I had no idea about this, and I've been on here for about two years!

Anyway, I usually just press it against my wrist or thumb, then flip over.

Bleh. Definitely smoke and vetiver, very slight almond, and that is it. If the almond were the main note with all the rest in the background, it could be okay for me, but not like this.

First impression: cherry blossom!

second impression: soapy cherry blossom!

but a nice soapy cherry blossom.

A bit of tea and teak mixed in.

Sniff. Hmm. Sniff. Oh my. Sniff. How can I sniff myself without the other people around me looking at me strangely?

Sniff. Oh yea, I forgot what instant love for a scent was.

A surprise like. Normally, I dislike amber/sunny scents but this smells complex and intriguing. Warm, ambery, nice.

I recommend Siren or March Hare.

Siren was the first BPAL that I really liked.

Very nice. A light, smoky scent, rather makes me think of Bone Moon maybe with some bone dust in there. Doesn't really seem like a summer scent to me though.

This is a light strawberry in the bottle and briefly on the skin, but it quickly becomes all dandelion sap. I couldn't even say exactly what dandelion sap must smell like, but this must be it.

Maybe if I could get like 3/4 Bon Vivant and 1/4 strawberry moon...

Will let it sit for awhile, then may put it up for swap.

ETA: I like this more and more. I really have to slather though. A bit less dandelion now.

But still think I will try it layered/mixed with Bon Vivant.

A wonderful forumite sent me a decant of this. I thought it was one of the anniversary scents, but then searching on the site for more info, realized it was an unreleased one.

Anyway, very much blueberry, like a blueberry pie or cake. Actually, I'm going to go more with pie.

Yum!

From the imp, this smelled very apple-y.

Now on my skin it is still very much apple, but with some resin and honey.

Reading over the previous posters reviews, I can see where the celery note idea comes from. Actually, now that I think about it, it reminds me a little of celery and peanut butter snack, with apples and peanut butter on the side. oh yum!

Instant love. However, this reminds me almost exactly of Dragon's Claw (of which I have a bottle). Put Dragon's Claw on the other wrist and can hardly tell the difference.

This is what I want my skin to naturally smell like.

Wow. Very much rum. Reminds me of Butter Rum Cookie.

Don't really get anything else.

This doesn't really appeal to me. A light peach, like white peach, plus some other odd note, maybe the rosewood? Which is too bad because normally I really like rosewood. I think the sandlewood is maybe what is making it strange for me.

I don't know how to describe this. Very fresh, clean smelling. To me it smells like aquatics and rose.

Yes, def. masculine. A bit better than the first time I tried it, but still not for me.

Smells rather dark, and a bit like ferns?
