    Oblivion

    Ok this smells like chocolate and spice to me Fresh it smells of wood and musk, but theres that sweetness. I had to check the color to make sure this is right, its green alright. This is definatly GREAT stuff for anyone who likes something that almost smells sweet and has a dark undercurrent of resin and wood in it. This one lasts on my skin for about 2 hours or so, I put more on because it smells wonderul

    Joy

    Hmm Joy, Out of the bottle I smell Oranges, almost like one of the Stations of the Sun, it has that smoky edge to it. When this is wet, it is absolutley unbelievable. I kept this in my pocket so I could reaplly all day, it doesnt seem to last in this stage for too long. It starts to smell like melons or some other fruit~ With frankincense very strange, it does keep me feeling good when the pressure is on, it's a very beautiful oil on scent alone, and it really has helped me when I wear it!

    Mantle of Venus

    Hmm I'm not sure what is in this that is making me think of dessert wine. It smells alot like sweet port, but also has some spice to it. Theres something else in this I cannot place... I have only worn this for the scent so far, but it smells wonderful, I know alot of the TALs are not ment to be worn, but I sure hope this one is, because it smells great.

    Death Cap

    Ooh yes I smell florals, a bit like antique lace, very warm and inviting with a touch of earth. Wow very beautiful, sweet and earthy, patchouli and vanilla with some resin, maybe frankincense or something with white flowers light in the backround, absolutley beautiful! This might end up as one of my favorites, it is GORGEOUS.

    Mandrake

    yup its very sticky, rooty with a touch of green. I like it but it doesnt seem to last very long on me. Smells a bit like hemlock only less pine scent in it, and it does have a bit of that *dirt* smell to it.

    Smut

    If I could only wear one BPAL perfume it would be Smut. That really says alot about this as I have many favorites, Its musk, its sweet and its boozy. Whats not to love? It does have that Snake oil bit in it, as well as the Sed Non Satiata, but its so unique. The throw is wonderful, I get tons of compliments and I love it. Just a beautiful blend, I hope it becomes a GC and not just a limited edition, I would buy this in a few 10ml if I could. It's one of those scents that just gets better and better as you wear it.

    Venus

    I was hesitant to try this when I got my first sniff from the bottle, it was herbacious mostly, with some rose. After about two weeks of having the bottle stare at me in the morning I decided to try this on. It's rose definatly, but it is also ash, like when you put out a candle and you get some ash on your fingers, its like that but with white roses everywhere. (i do get the tiniest hint of mintiness/verbena/Something! in this as well) I really could see myself not only wearing this but using it in rituals. Trying Venus makes me want to invest in the other celestials as well simply because they are so different and interesting. This is very light and pretty .

    Butch yet not manly scents?

    I'd go with Wilde, it smells masculine but has a bit of fem thrown in.
  9. Anyone else think malediction smells of dirt?

    Alone

    You stink Alone, your breath is like death and dust. You reak of peppers and funk I don’t want you to touch me, no way. I feel the need to swap you away! Your rot can bloom far away from me I will set your liquid free. But wait, I cannot yet judge. My nose will not budge Though, through the bottle, Alone I hate I promised to try you, its not too late. I hold you in my hand, far away In fear of what my skin will say… Your cardamom spreads to my heart I want to eat you and scream to the stars! You smell so good, you do! I’m so glad I got to know you! You float to my nose on butterfly wings, Herbs, spices, flowers~ such beautiful things! Spanked comes to mind Another favorite of mine, I want to keep you for awhile I love how you make me smile. So spicey and sweet. When my skin you did meet!

    Lenore

    Oooh, this one is cold! It gives that same *feel* that Numb had but there doesnt smell like any violets are in this. Right away I can smell the thyme and lemon peel, it has that oakmoss type smell in it too, like death touched with beauty. Not sure if it is me or not, but enjoyable. It isnt too heavy or light, this is one to think about . I give it 3 out of 5 stars

    Arabian Nights

    First off ~Arabian Nights Smells wonderful. Its darks and resinous with some musk or something keeping it from being too smoky. Headshop comes to mind, as does mindblowing sex ~ THERE I said it. The results where a bit shocking. I put some one last night and had a phone call from a gal I worked with a while ago who wants to get together on business matters. I put AN on this morning, with a touch of Harlot on my shoulders and Arabian Nights on my forehead and wrists (hey it was a bit of a ritual this morning with the stuff, I had a taste of it, now lets see some action) To make the experiement fair. I went out looking like crap. No shower, no wax, just jeans, sneakers, and my Marvin the Martian T-shirt. I went shopping and had a very good looking man at first pass me by with a long stare. Then as I continued shopping I could see him peeking through the shelves looking at me. I thought OK who is this guy? DO I know him? Nope, just a good looking guy dark hair eyes etc. Then he caught up with me he smiled big, said hello and just stood there. Hmm I remembered that yes I am wearing Arabian Nights AND I made absolutley no effort to look good. So I giggled a bit and said Hi back. He was a very nice man. Not someone I've ever seen before in the place I was shopping and uh, he was hot stuff. Just my experience, but so far this is the best TAL I've ever tried. MUST GET MORE!!

    Harlot

    So after trying this on and not know exactly what was in it- I would've guess Clove and Roses. Now that I know it is 3 roses and cinnamon, it makes sense. This has that sort of brightness that you would smell with Sybaris. I guess thats why I thought this had clove in it. The cinnamon is very strong at first, but the roses bring out the Harlot in this after about a half an hour. The throw is decent, smells wonderful. I think I will keep the imp to see if a big bottle should be on order!

    Old Scratch

    If I didnt know what the ingredients listed were, I'd have to guess Lavender, booze, vetivert and a tiny bit of leather. I was a bit surprised to see that there was no booze listed as an ingredient. This is a very Masculine scent on me. Its reminds me of a darker version of Vicomte de Valmonte. I really like the Vicomte but do not care too much for old scratch, which when I look at the ingredients I really SHOULD love this! (I may need to reevaluate my favorite notes... again!) But then again, sometimes you never know how they will blend till you wear it! On a scale of 1-5 I'd give this a 3. Not unwearable, but just not something I'd wear with the other choices I have. (did that make sense? I hope so)

    La Fée Verte

    #18 of 300 I'm in love, This is a beautiful perfume! The picture on the bottle is stunning. This reminds me of sweet sugared anisette(without so much anise). It does smell like absinthe, but this seems to last so much longer with the vanilla holding all up. I've gotten a few complements and people asking what it is. Apparently it smells like Vanilla musk most to others who get a whiff of it off me. It is light, but has good throw. I find myself applying again during the day about midday. Its really beautiful, perfect for any season, its warm, but its also cool. Its is very comforting, I even went to sleep with it on and I slept very well. It has that *perfume* scent, but you can really get the vanilla absinthe in it as well as the hours go by. I wanted to add that this smells incredible with a tiny bit of Lick It thrown in. Super yummy vanilla musk sex. Just Beautfiul and really hard to put into words. Just wonderful! Its up at my top ten!

    The Haunted Palace

    This smells bright, almost sunny to me. Its hard for me to pull out any other scent than the Orange and heliotrope. After A while I smell the red musk, this is beautiful. As it dries down, it evokes the images of the sun going down, of the twilight ~just before it gets really dark. I'm not a big fan of scents with Orange in them, otherwise I think this is a very enjoyable scent, but for me the orange makes it too fruity.

    Spanked

    Oh Beautiful Cardamom!! This is absolutley wonderful! Imagine Bengal without that pepper smell, and throw in some cardamom and leather. It really is that good. Now don't get me wrong, at first I wasnt too sure about this, it was on the border of smelling like band-aid so I can see some people not liking this. BUT on me it is all about leather and spice. Just beautiful and definately gets 5/5 for scent and throw. A top ten favorite scent!

    Mitzvah

    I have been deamed *Nice* by the Lab and I had the feeling back when I ordered that I would Get Mitzvah. This is Almost like Eggnog 04' but without the rum smell. This is usually the time of year when I make brittle and fudge at my sister in laws house. This brings to mind the making of the brittle which is hot butter, and toasted sugar. Mitzvah is all that hot buttery carmelized in the kitchen baking frenzy for me. This one lasts alot better than Eggnog 04' did and its very yummy!

    Hymn to Pan

    MMM this is very herbal, with plenty of lavender and some musk or somthing slightly animalistic. Its not heavy, but the musk adds some depth. I'd have to say that every time I put this on, something dramatic happens. What I mean by that is ~ its the feeling of the party just beginning. Theres that moment before it all comes together. You are anticipating and waiting for that phone call or that knock on thedoor and EVERY SINGLE TIME I put this on it HAPPENS. Its not always immediate, but it always takes place. So when I put this on, maybe depending on the stars, my mood, or whatever my project at the time is, this really helps get the ball rolling so to speak. This blend is truly WONDERFUL the closest scent I can relate this one too would be Buck Moon with Lavender. A definate keeper and I feel truly blessed to have tried this one. Out of a scale of 1-5 I give it a 5 based on results and a 5 for scent. Get your hands on some!!!

    Midnight Mass

    This is Christmas in a bottle. 100% Real Xmas scent to me. Its got a bit of sweet pinion resin or something in it maybe this is a frankincense? It's incensey but not overpowering, Its not too much pine (is it pine at all or a resin?), not too much smoke, its got a hint of sweet candy in it. Midnight Mass is just BEAUTIFUL, it lasts a good amount of time. This will be my scent for the season. I may just have to buy another bottle of this! I give it 5 out of 5 stars, it is damn near perfect!! Definately at my top 10! It actually made me *feel* like it was Xmas time, not just a heavy shopping season!

    Jacob's Ladder

    This is a beautiful blend, it is almost spicey, but I'm not sure where this comes from on me. There is that amber, but its not too heavy on the amber, the tonka/vanilla seems to even it out nicely. It has excellent throw and everyone around me seems to be sniffing at the air when I walk by. Oh! the looks on their faces! At least I know they like it! Beautiful blend, it seems to evolve very much into something better as the hours go by. At first it was a tough amber, now its coming together, at least on me. I'd give this 4 out of 5 stars because I'm not sure if it is truly A scent I would wear alot. Though I can see the lovelyness in it and it could just change my mind. Great throw, not too overpowering, sweet and a bit spicey. It is great for the winter because it evokes a warmth around you, as you may be out and about on a chilly day.

    Pumpkin Patch II (2005, 2006)

    I got my order last night and went to bed wearing this. IT IS SO YUMMY! I want to say its my favorite (I'll get back to ya on that one) but I havent tried the other pumpkin patch smells yet. It starts off as this buttery pumkin nut and then it just cozies up with the cocoa and really makes me want to not only wear this but it gives me some creative ideas for my next hot chocolate! I love it. Nothing in this gets too overpowering but it lasts and lasts. Just make sure you have a soft pillow or blanky (or lover ) to curl up with this because it really is perfect for those nights when its cold out and your warm in. MMM This is my favorite of the patch, its so warm and sweet. Love it!!

    Bengal

    I'll have to agree with the folks who say this smells like CHai tea. Its is absolutley beautiful! Its like a honey'd cream sweet vanilla chai with all the spices that make it good! Its ginger and cinnamon crisp at first and then it warms up on your skin into a sweet and spicey cup of chai! This is perfect for fall and winter, it warms you up very nice! Glad I have a 10 ml of this it is a work of art!

    Baneberry

    The description tells all. Baneberry smells of berrys and big fat juicy almost overripe plums with dark green foliage in the backround. Very faint, It seems to fade faster than I'd like but it is a pleasant scent.
