Sooo...this myrtle appears to have the same effect on me as oakmoss, at least to the guesses of the Chicago bpalers.

 

This means weird maraschino cherriness. I know, I know. Now go read someone else's review.

I didn't really get any honey suckle, which I've liked in other blends, but holy Jasmine.

Oh my gosh, you guys! I love this so much!

 

I'm sorry this is so short, but this is from my notes taken way long ago in October at the Chicago Meetup. But any little bit helps?

 

gingery, lemony, clementine, awesome! must buy!

 

As to its purported effect, citrus-ginger is definitely a mood-lifter for me. And when I'm not depressed, I'm definitely a ballsy girl.

 

incidentally, my bottle should be here any day, and I'll expand.

Irish cream.

I really liked this. It wasn't for me, per se, but I'd definitely track it down if I had a guy in my life.

 

This was intensely fresh green. Very truly pine needles.

 

On the other hand, I'm the only one who smells it, so...yeah.

I should also preface this with the fact that I have a really, really unusual reaction to oakmoss and myrtle, and vetiver is always a shot in the dark.

Shirley Temples. The marachino cherry kind. Yes, I know. That's literally my only note, and I can still remember Kate's face from that observation.

I definitely got some nice spice from this, but the neroli really came out on me, and neroli and I aren't friends.

This review is of '04, incidentally.

 

All I got from Gingerbread Poppet was a really really intense molasses scent, with none of the spices I got from, say, Three Witches.

 

Smelled nice (albeit not what I was expecting), but ultimately way, way too foody for me.

I actually enjoyed the honey/vanilla, but ultimately the cherry reaction I have to dragon's blood prevented me from really enjoying it.

In my continuing quest to get cracked-out reactions to every bpal, my only note and memory is that this was extrordinarily gardenia.

Lemony, clean, vaguely herbal. I should note that it was a good, green herbal.

 

I found it and Lustration to be similar, but I should probably note that they might both have been adultrated by Moxie.

First: Pepper, yum! Imp?

 

Drydown: Cologne.

If you find yourself in the market for more cedar scents, ask Penance. She's the queen of the hamster cages.

I've never tried Karma, but for orange/patchouli, I'd definitely recommend Ravenous, and definitely NOT Vixen.

Well, this is *also* not general catalogue, but it sounds like Smut might be right up your alley from what other people have said (the folks who went to the brick and mortar shoppe.)

I don't know what happened with your order, but I do know that their customer service person has been swamped, as per Brian's Brick and Mortar update.

 

Also, was your email from a free account? (ie, yahoo, hotmail). I hear there've been some issues with spam filters.

To me, this smells like that commercial "melon" scent that BBW had a while and all the girls at my hs were constantly using. But it is a bit deeper, but I can't quite figure out the base not.

 

It's very sweet, but there is a faint green scent to it. It smells quite nice, albeit not for me. Also, my sinuses are screaming, so I'm off to go scrub my arm.

I'm from Michigan, so I definitely have to say the Hesperides for September (apples!!!)

If you can find it (or if it comes out at TAL), you should try Lobban. It was one of the Voodoo oils and was DC'ed a while ago, but is pure lemony goodness.

I *think* I remember the review for the Lion having hay/grass mentioned, like the lion pen at the zoo, or something. I've never tried it, but maybe read the reviews for it?

Most of it is probably the location of where you put the oil more than anything else. Most of the popular perfume spots are over veins, which have the advantage of warming and giving the scent throw. However, these areas (inside of elbows, wrists, and behind ears), are some of the thinnest skin areas. So...watch it with some of the stronger oils.

Ok: here's the caveat, I've not smelled any of these (or your target), but here's what comes up for bay rum, which is a classic scent.

 

-Baron Samedi

 

-Jazz Funeral

-Santo Domingo

-Jolly Roger

 

Baron Samedi's description state's that it is BPAL's bay rum scent, but the other three I listed also list bay rum.

I shouldn't think that Wilde would match up with something called Forest Moss, though.

Big second on the Moxie love! It's really fresh and bright.

I think your perception of dragon's bone would totally depend on how you react to dragon's blood. Although I love orris, because my chem amps sweet/dragon's blood, it wasn't dry at all, unfortunately.
