    Scent for Halloween?

    I wore Drink Me. I thought it most appropriate given the turkey note

    Twilight

    In honor of Twilight:New Moon coming out today and that I am going to the midnight show here, I broke out this imp. I was worried about the lavender because it is definately the predominant smell in the imp, but on me its pretty much all honeysuckle with a tinge of the jasmine. The word glowey is a good one for this. Its good in the scent locket too.

    Butter Rum Cookie

    Damn, I can't believe I have never done a review for this! Last year BRC was my first two bottle purchase I ever did. My husband gave me one for Christmas and then ordered a backup. I will never regret that as this is one of the smells that I get MAJOR compliments on and that makesme supremely happy when I wear it. In the bottle: cinnamon butterscotch, I smell a little bit of rum but not much. Wet: Spicy scotchy yums, I think the comparison to butter rum lifesavers was a good one. Dry: this never morphs on me, it stays the same as it did when first applied. So fabulous. This definately evokes childhood Christmas memories for me. Plus, put it in an oil diffuser and you house will smell like warm cinnamon melted butterscotch for hours. :love!:

    The Chicken-Legged Hut

    Dude. Cream of wheat with brown sugar melted into it. That's exactly what this smells like to me.

    The Gaoler's Daughter

    I can't believe I never did a review for this! I love love love peach and this is a yummy peach for sure. Sweet,creamy, like the perfect ripe peach in summer. Mixes really well with the gardenia and vanilla, I get zero neroli from this. Which isfine with me because I typically don't like neroli. It's nice to wear this in the dead of winter because it gives me hope for warmer days.

    Gluttony

    I have wanted to try this for a long time, but I kept getting other bottles first instead. Recently I procured a bottle of Gluttony and yesterday was my first try with it. I don't smell dark chocolate in this at all, or any chocolate for that matter. What I do smell in the bottle is toffee, caramel and nuts. Same when I put it on. Dry it is rich and lingering. I also put this in my locket for extra effect. A co-worker told me I smelled like baked goods case I am a foody scent addict. I love Gluttony.

    The Red Rider

    All I am going to say about this one (because I will not wear leather stuff) is that it smells exactly like walking into a leather store. Perhaps when my husband puts this on I will put his review in here for him. Me and the leather personally are not friends.

    Baba Yaga

    In the bottle: definately patchouli and cold things. Smells softly sweet a bit as well, I am guessing thats the herbs.. Wet on skin: forgive me for saying this but it smells like weed. The illegal kind. Like when I was little and used to go in my dads office and it would smell this way. Drier on skin: now this is going back to the soft sweetness. This is very complex. I do like it very much though probably will be good in my locket too.

    Cake Smash

    In bottle: cake and buttercream frosting for sure!!! Oh how I loved this the moment I opened the bottle.... Wet on skin: the buttercream fades fast on me and then comes the cake. The rich, not too sweet cake. The Dorian gives it the little extra something special. Dry on skin: still super cakey, but smells the tiniest bit medicinal, that's what S.O. Does on me, I never get the doc constantine. I love this x a million! I am so glad I bought two bottles.

    "You can't afford me" scents?

    Follow me Boy kinda smells like a rich lady. I mean the prostitutes did use it after all Morocco always seems to work too for enabling. I would check out Poisioned Apple as well.

    The Girl

    I love this scent so much! I am glad my instincts were correct. As soon as I saw the notes "birch" and "immortelle" I was like, MINE!!! I immediatley applied this to my wrist when I came home this afternoon (the box came today) and I was in instant heaven. It is a soft smell but has amazing staying power! its been over 4 hours and it still smells great. I can definately pick put the white amber and pale musk, even a little of the jasmine. The birch was there upon application but faded a bit. No ylang ylang though. Ooh its so good. I used to have this perfume from the company and it was called Spell. They dont make it anymore and I rationed that stuff out hardcore but in the end I used the last drop and was very sad. But The Girl smells almost exactly like it, just minus the alcohol!! a major win. The Girl rules. I think I might need a backup bottle.

    Suck It

    Suck It.....smelled so good in the bottle, like cherry lollipops. On my skin, the cherry is subtle. I dont get any of the booze fortunately, but now it smells like dollar store candy. I am not sure how I feel about this, it may need to sit in my makeshift BPAL box for awhile before I try it again. The label is great though!

    L'Autunno

    Being in love with Fearful Pleasure from last year, I have been actively seeking a bottle of L' Autunno for a while as I thought it sounded like it might be a similar smell. Well I was a teeny bit right but so glad I was wrong too. Whereas Fearful Pleasure is the best Sweet Hot Apple Cider smell ever IMO, L'Autunno is the cider, the smoke coming out of someone's chimney on a chill fall night and the earthiness of patchouli to ground it. When I first put it on it was SPICY! must've been the myrrh, patchouli and Indian musk all at once. Now, 1/2 an hour later, it is sweet and smoky without the spice. LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I will have to try to ration my precious bottle

    Sunbird

    This is my 4th attempt at writing a review for this, my computer kept crashing previously! Thanks to the amazing GingieMay for letting my and my co-worker sniff and then test this! In the bottle I found it to definately smell hot. Hot and spicy, like the spice in Velvet Bandito. Then I put it on and all I could smell was...Snake Oil. However it does have a long lasting smell power and decent throw. Not sure why all I could smell was Snake Oil. My co-worker loves this though and she is pretty particular. Now I am on the hunt for some for her... Again thanks GingieMay!!! you are the greatest!

    Omen

    Deep, mysterious, and full of dark portents: oakmoss, juniper berry, myrrh and patchouli. I have never gotten the patchouli note from Omen. In the bottle all I can smell is Oakmoss and when I wear it its just all sweet oakmoss with a hint of the myrhh. It wears nicely, I was suprised!

    Looking for any Harry Potter scent recommendations

    Perhaps Croquet? Lime, Grapefruit, Nectarine, Rose, Sage, Patchouli, Bergamot and hedgehog musk... I dont know why I think of this in reference to Tonks probably because its sort of a crazy scent and Tonks has some craziness in her
