    Phobos

    Twin to Deimos and child of War, Phobos is the embodiment of terror and mortal fear. Chilling white musk, lemon verbena, white grapefruit and lemongrass. This is a very sweet lemon, although the white musk and grapefruit keep it fresh. I like it, and will add it to my slowly growing collection of lemony scents...

    Copper Phoenix

    To me, as soon as I opened the vial, it smelled like an awesome little new age-ish shop we used to have here in town. A mixture of incense, amber and dried flowers... I put the oil on, and it stayed pretty true to that. When my BFF stopped by later, I had her sniff my arm, and that's exactly what she said - "it smells like Nature's Gifts!" I thought it had faded a bit by then, but maybe my nose was just used to it because she said the throw was still good I had to hunt down a bottle!

    Which Orisha blend should I buy

    I think I've decided on Obatala, with imps of Yemaya and Olokun (I know they don't count towards the donations, but I want to smell them now, lol)
  4. Well, my scent-sibling... when I'm in the mood for a light floral, I reach for Schlafende Baigneuse, but it does have rose in it, although I wouldn't really consider it a "rose-y" scent. Fairy Market is another one I like for that kind of "feel", but I haven't worn it in awhile. Vasilissa is another pretty one. Hmmm, I'll keep thinking...

    Sacred Whore of Babylon

    I was worried that I got something mislabeled too - my imp smells like straight cat pee. I can't even bring myself to put it on It must go... but I'd be interested in smelling it again, to see if my imp was just bad
  6. I "hope" you can find some Hope to try it's wonderful, a sugary-sweet rose. Katrina Van Tassel is similar, if you can find any of it, it was a Halloweenie from 2008.

    Which Orisha blend should I buy

    I've been pondering this question as well, and I'm leaning towards Osun, Yemaya, Obatala or Olokun. I have an imp of Osun at home, I will try it again. I really like Yemaya, the goddess, so I would like to have the scent, even though I'm not sure I'm a melon girl, and the reviews often mention fading fast. I like coconut, so Obatala might work for me. Olokun sounds good, I haven't had an aquatic scent for a while - might be a nice one to get and save for spring/summer...

    Tin Phoenix

    gahhhhh.... I love this! At first, it smelled like sweet lemony candy, but before too long, the pale metals, the ozone, & the white mint came out and WOW... So clean smelling, so fresh... I can't wait to order a bottle of this!
  9. I'd recommend trying The Rose from the Marchen category if you want a fresh, red rose smell. London is also good (from the Wanderlust category), but strikes me as more of a dry red rose. How could I forget The Rose?? yes, definitely second that suggestion...
  10. Rose Red was a LE, but you should be able to find some on the forum sales pages... it's a beautiful red rose scent. I also love Peacock Queen. There was a LE from the Trading Post called Red Rose, but it isn't a straight-up rose scent. Spellbound is a sexy blend of 3 roses, amber and red musk. Definitely my # 1 BPAL...

    How do you apply your BPAL oils?

    Check out this thread - but short answer, I do this: hold the imp upright, wiggle-wiggle-wiggle the cap until it comes out, then raise the stopper and hold the wand part against the side of the imp so the oil drains down from the top of the cap. Then you can apply or sniff without too much trouble. Don't snap the cap when opening the imp or you'll end up with oil all over! My friend does that everytime, lol

    Hod

    To my untrained nose, this smells like O and the spicy floral note in Chrysanthemum Moon. Which I assume is chrysanthemum, lol. The overwhelming consensus here says that the note in Hod is carnation though, so I will just say that I like them both Thankfully, I get no almond. Just lovely amber, honey and this yummy spicy flower - mucho
  13. The scent that makes me feel "OMG sexxAy" is Spellbound. But I have to second Liz, because every time I wear it, I get a compliment from the b/f...

    Pink Snowballs

    well, I bought a bottle of this right off the bat, because I just KNEW it was going to be awesome. I love rose! I love snow! I have an iffy relationship with vanilla, but was willing to take the chance. *sigh* This smells exactly like Snow White to me. I did not like Snow White. Sure, there's a teensy bit of rose trying to peek out, but it wasn't enough to make much of a difference.

    I want a "soapy" scent

    I definitely second the Dirty recommendation

    Old Scratch

    I have a new frimp of this, and to my surprise, I really like it. It's a light, airy kind of lavender. Just a bit of amber and tonka. I hardly get any patchouli, except in the late drydown. It's quite masculine, so maybe I won't wear it. Maybe put a sachet in my b/f's drawer to scent his clothes?

    Crib Girls

    Why is it the bottles I order unsniffed never quite work out? From the description, I thought this was going to be the HG of scents for me. Seven honeys? Cardamom? Wasn't sure about the cubeb, but willing to take a chance. But the "fiery-tart"-ness of what I'm guessing is the cubeb is the only thing I'm smelling. This is very lemony. Venneh's Froot Loop comparison is right on, that's what I'm getting as well. I'm going to set this aside to age a bit, because I did have such high hopes for it. Maybe by Spring, it will have mellowed a bit. If not, it's off to swaps...

    Haloes

    I am in love with this scent... this is everything I wanted the other scents to be. This will be my go-to scent. It's similar to Glowing Vulva on me, and while many compare this to Antique Lace, AL was not wearable to me, it turned to plasticky vanilla. This... this is amazing. A lovely soft, woody vanilla - not much floral for me, or fruit from the apricot. Just the oak, vanilla and sandalwood. Maybe a little tonka. Pure

    Sin

    I am not a big patchouli fan, but I've found I can wear it in some blends. I thought this might be one of them because when I first tried it, it was mostly yummy cinnamon-incense. I think that I just didn't wear it long enough that day, because I have Sin on today and for the first hour it was lovely. After that, I started smelling like I didn't bathe. For a couple of days.

    The Last Squished Jellybean

    yes, this little black jellybean was squished, all right - right up against a cinnamon one! I was lucky enough to get this from my BFF, who always gives me her black jellybeans too I love it... licorice and cinnamon, not a lot of throw, but at the skin, it's a lovely scent - makes my mouth water...

    Pumpkin II (2009)

    in the imp, I get nothing but buttery pumpkin (yum) and maybe just a smidge of sandalwood. Wet on my skin, I find the rosewood. But the drydown - it's all honeyed rose, almost like KVT, with a little added spice...

    Liz

    When I first put Liz on, I get a lot of leather. Not a strong, masculine leather, but still leather. When the vanilla starts to come forward, there's a moment or two where it teeters on plasticky - but thank goodness, it eventually morphs into a beautiful, wearable lovely scent for me. Not many of BPALs vanillas work on me, but I'm so glad this one does! I think the florals and the smoke and leather balance it out for me. AND - as my b/f and I were going up some stairs yesterday, he sniffed and sniffed, and finally said "Hey, that's you I'm smelling". This is the 2nd BPAL scent that he's told me I should get a bottle of!!

    Pumpkin V (2009)

    Pumpkin, chocolate, coffee bean, vanilla bean, and hazelnut I wore this yesterday, it was yummy. The pumpkin and hazelnut were prominent at first, then it dried down to a very spicey, cinnamony/clove smell... ETA description

    Mlle. Lilith, Fortune Teller

    Hmm... I don't know if I'm smelling the incense, or the pink musk... or something else. But on me, this smells like (forgive me) walking into the dollar store. Going down the candle/incense/potpourri aisle. It's a very sharp, fruity smell, and I'm afraid I just can't wear it. Glad it's working for other people though!

    Detestable Putrescence

    in the imp, this smelled delicious... yummy, sweet, buttery vanilla goodness! on me, it smells like a dollar store vanilla candle. No sweetness, just all plasticky, flat and boring.
