    Two, Five & Seven

    I love roses, so I was pretty sure I was going to love this. Boy, was I right! Pure rose. Nothing else. It is so fabulous! As soon as I have money again, I'm buying a big bottle of it!

    Titania

    Could anything smell more heavenly? It makes me feel beautiful! It's sweet and floral without being cloying. The perfect spring/summer transition scent. Definitely a bigger bottle in my future...

    The Hesperides

    Really apple and woodsy. So good! I did get a boozy sort of smell initially, but that died down really quickly to that fabulous apple smell. This is a great scent! (I'm such an apple fan too...)

    Spooky

    The coconut really stood out on me, but I definitely get hints of chocolatey mint. I love this and I'm sad that I didn't get here soon enough to buy a whole bottle. A nice scent for a pick-me-up. It really fits my mood today.

    Shadow

    It smelled very strange to me in the bottle, but the minute I put it on, I got a really lemony smell. It was nice, but very unusual. After about an hour, I started to smell hints of pepper and a really strong cedar. I don't think this works well with my body chemistry, but I could see how it would be great on a guy...

    Magdalene

    This was smokey in the vial. In fact, it was so smokey, I felt a little sick to my stomach. I was convinced that I was going to hate this. Then I put it on and it went almost immediately into ROSES. Not just a hint of rose smell, but full-on, heady rose. It was amazing. I love this, but it definitely takes some getting used to.

    The Living Flame

    I love this. It was definitely flowery when I first put it on, but a hint of the musk seemed to come out after awhile. Now, after wearing it all day, I keep getting a hint of the musk and more vanilla. It's a very sensual smelling blend to me. The other thing that I really like is that it's lasting -- I've had it on all day and I keep getting really pleasant whiffs of it. Fantastic!

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    I thought I'd bump this back up because of The Living Flame labels. I was wondering if there were any other LE that had different labels... And now I know!

    Phantasm

    I love this scent. I didn't think I would, as it smelled *too* floral-y in the bottle for me. However, that little hint of green tea really makes a difference. It's very fresh and clean smelling. Definite thumbs up for me!
  10. Hi! I hate to be a pain, but how long should I wait before e-mailing the lab about a possible lost package? I got a CnS on 3/29 for shipment on 3/30. Here it is almost 6 days later and I haven't seen the package yet. Priority Mail is supposed to deliever within 5 days, right? I figure I should probably at least wait until the end of the week, but I wasn't sure and thought I'd ask for some advice. Thanks, guys! You're all fabulous!

    Hollywood Babylon

    This is very sweet, but when I put it on, I got a really strong musky/incense type of scent. It's not bad, it's just slightly disconcerting, since in the bottle all I smelled was really sweet fruit. This isn't a "to-die-for" scent for me, but it is really interesting. It gives me a new appreciation for BPAL scents -- they're so complex!

    Sugar Cookie

    I got an imp of this from kimmer and I feel supremely lucky! This is heavenly. It's warm and buttery and cinnamon-y and just yummy. I keep wanting to lick myself. It did start off as more of a sugar cookie smell, but it ended up as more of a snickerdoodle. No complaints here. It's fantabulous!

    Midnight

    I like florals, so I thought I would really like this. Actually, it's nice, but I'm not overwhelmed and I'm a little bit sad about this. It could be because all the flower notes in this blend so well together and I'm used to Beth's blends having stand-out notes. (I kept sniffing it in the bottle and it didn't smell like anything to me!) It's nice, but it smells generic to me. (I really hate to say that, but I can't think of a better term for it.) As scents go, this is nice, but nothing spectacular on me. But, as I said, the weakest of Beth's blends are still 20 million times better than any other perfume on the market. I'm also aware that, since so many others have liked it, it may just be my whacky chemistry!

    Dana O'Shee

    I have spent a good part of the day wanting to lick myself because of this scent. It smells like sugary almonds. I love it! I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this. Yummy!
