To me in the bottle it smelled just like Yemaya, so I put one on each wrist to test it out. They are exactly the same for the first half hour or so and then the Yemaya fades and the Earth Rat is still there. So pretty much Earth Rat is Yemaya with more staying power. I am also noticing the slightest slight bit of peony at the very end, which might be what makes the Earth Rat last longer. Yemaya has always been a favourite, but I don't think there's any point in having both of them. I think I'll keep the Earth Rat because it lasts longer, but if I run out I'll probably just buy Yemaya from the lab rather then desperately searching on eBay for more Earth Rat.

I emailed Mandi, and yes it is a Squeeky Clean bottle! She changed her packaging about 8 months ago, but this is what they used to look like. Yey! Thank you so much!!!

Well I generally avoid giving reviews, because my nose pretty much sucks at detecting subtitles, but since these are one of a kind I feel somewhat obligated. I have CLXXXIV and to me it smells very strongly of sandalwood, with something sweet underneath it like orris and maybe lily or some other kind of white flower. It actually reminds me of the dry down of Pumpkin Patch #4, without the pumpkin (if that's even possible to imagine).

... Her ofrenda is a bounty of melons and grapes, strewn with the petals of the flowers of motherhood, draped with sea mosses. Yemaya smells exactly like this watermelon lipgloss I had when I was younger. Not only is it an amazing smell, but it brings back all these wonderful memories of summer vacation, sundresses, swimming, grass, daisy chains...

That's probably not it. This bottle smells pretty incensey, and I'm not the best at picking out smells, but I don't get any vanilla. Thanks for the try though! The top is like a Possets top, except black, if that means anything to anyone.

I have a mystery bottle, and I was hoping someone might be able to identify it. I don't even know if it's BPAL, but if anyone has any idea, it has really been driving me crazy. Sorry for the crappy phone pic:
