Patchouli doesn't work on me and I have a weird phobia of not being able to buy scents containing the 'd' word! Swap pile methinks.
-
I love rose scents and the leather note works really well with this. Definitely 5ml-worthy, especially now it's Spring!
-
I was hoping the plum would be more dominant here; but sadly it's just a very faint and slightly spicy musk on me.
-
The juniper is very prominent in this. It's certainly not what I was expecting. It's very fresh and clean-smelling, but not for me.
-
I can smell the Dragon's Blood in this but no spices. It's very musky to me.

Lush to BPAL scent comparisons (BNever included too)

It took me a while to figure out, but Midnight smells just like Lush's Sex Bomb! Also, Black Opal smells just like Lush's Flying Fox shower gel. -
I cannot pick out any individual notes on this one; all I can say is it's gorgeous and is going on my wishlist! Edited to add: This reminds me of Lush's Sex Bomb, which is weird as Sex Bomb is mainly jasmine and ylang ylang!!
-
This is a really nice aquatic, but I aren't sure if I'd want a 5ml as it's too 'perfumey', if that makes sense? Definitely keeping the imp though. Edited to add: It's now on my wishlist!!
-
This reminds me of Love's Philosophy. Gorgeous.
-
This smells like white chocolate with sugared violets, surprise surprise! Antique Lace smells just like white chocolate to me too, so this is like Antique Lace mixed with Parma Violets. It's nice but I think I'll end up selling/swapping this one as it doesn't seem to last long on me.
-
Hmm..I had high hopes for this as I love anything smokey usually, but sadly it's not for me I don't think. It smells just like Miskatonic University, which didn't work for me either. I'm going to try it once more before I swap/sell just to make sure 100%.
-
(What she said!!) Floral/apple, gorgeous. Edited to add: I smell the vanilla now too.
-
This is lovely! I mostly get floral-y plum; not sure about vanilla or sandalwood etc but this might change after it dries down. Edited to add: Definitely some sandalwood in there!

Invasion of the Flesh-Eating Reindeer from Uranus

Ooh I like this! Gingerbread and rum. Like a grown-up version of Gingerbread Poppet. -
I Fell in Love with a Floating Brain

I was lucky enough to be gifted a decant of this from my Winter SW. It is definitely VERY cakey. I can only detect a hint of strawberry. This smells very similar to Huesos de Santo to me. Gorgeous! -
gemgem very kindly picked this up for me; I feel so lucky to have a bottle! It has definitely lived up to expectations! Wish I had enough to wear it every day forever! It's like a really gorgeous grown-up version of Eat Me; more cakey and cherryfied than Eat Me though, if that makes sense!?
-
This is a very lively one! Fruity, something else I can't quite pick up and some coconut in there too. It's nice but not for me. Off to the swap box for someone else to love!
-
I detect nothing floral about this one. To me it's very smokey, smells like an old museum. Unless it's my nose being weird again!?
-
I can't smell the bourbon in this, just a very refreshing mint. It's nice, I'm going to save it for when the weather's warmer though. Too minty for Winter!!
