    Ahathoor

    MMM this is the first of the solar collection for me to try. Ahathoor is a sweet orangy cinnamon stick in a bundle of crushed cloves. Theres frankincense or Sandalwood? possibly both. I smell something like a flower, a big orange flower, like a marigold. Very beautiful, It really starts to morf into almost an anisette sweet and sour something, so hard to explain. It is pleasing.

    Somnus

    I put some Somnus on My SO, my son and I . My son was out at 8pm just after I applied this oil. My SO who has really weird sleep patterns slept like a baby, which is amazing because of all the stress hes been going through this week. As for me It had its job cut out for it. I am a mess, I can't say I slept well but I did smell really good. Its a lavender floral, its a rose that I get along with (is this a white rose?)which makes me wonder if its rose at all. Theres a touch of jasmine as well, its close to the way Oneiroi smells, but has less jasmine in it. Really a beautiful scent, which would've worked for me I'm sure if I havent been so sick these past few days. I'll try it again tonight and see how It works for me! (Ken was over the moon about it)

    Baku

    Hmm this is Lavender with something strong in the backround, something green, possibly a flower note in there as well but the dominant note to my nose is Lavender. The smell is good, it lasts a good few hours. The thing that I've been noticing as I've been wearing; is the complete control of my dreams. I've been having dreams that could've turned out bad, but I made them stop. If you've worked with dreams before, you'll know you need to have a strong will to control them at times. With these dreams I've been having, they turned into my uprising. I slap the monsters in the face and they run off screaming. I have Somnus coming to me in a 5ml but Baku and all the others are now on my list. This is really good stuff~!

    Nyarlathotep

    Nyarlathotep smells to me like the really good frankincense as it is burning, almost lemony but not a citrus. Its dark and I find it to be unisex, it smells really good on me and I would love to smell it off anyone else as long as thy're chemistry is willing I got this imp in a swap and I ordered one with my Yule order I will be keeping them both! This is strong and you don't have to apply a whole lot of it for it lasts really well.
  5. Well, on my trip to Mexico recently, I took some Capricorn oil with me because of the Cedar in it. Luckly the mosquitos didnt hatch until the last day I was there. Unfortunatly it didnt matter what I did they were HUNGRY. I even put on the super strong insect repellents and they were STILL after me. I must taste good You might want to try eating alot of garlic and onions like alot. I don't think they liek the secretions... I think www.Prairielandherbs.com has some insect repellent soap or something.

    Hunter Moon 2004

    to Minilux for decanting me some of this beautiful oil! Wow Hunter moon, Slightly spicy A darker Mabon. Is there eucalyptus in this? It smells like something even minty maybe, but still with a heavy spiced fruit in the lead. I like this much better than Mabon though, as it seems to have more staying power, I'm guessing this is the added musk (I really like dark musks) Theres definatly that Luna flavor in it, I really am enjoying this. It doesnt Beat red moon but it is a keeper!

    Gaueko

    I don't know if I love this or hate this... It starts off strong, pungent it really has its own personality. As it wears in I can smell the Nag Champa a little more and there almost an animal smell to it, not musk but civet, I'm guessing this is the Labdanum. If theres lavender in this its not coming out as strong as the other notes, but the smoke and incense is . It is more masculine than feminine smelling to me, the blackened sandalwood and Nag Champa really stand out, but unfortunatly so does that feral animal smell. I'll have to give this time, it may be the wrong time of the month to wear this. I really do want to love this!

    Loviatar

    I got this imp as a freebie, definatley not something I would order on my own! Loviatar scares me, she loves torture and vengance. I reluctantly put on her perfume and fell hard in love with this scent. This is confidence & superiority. I put this on when I am feeling the whip of life at my back, and it gives me strength. Its a heavy dark scent the leather and black amber feel dominant in this, its very long lasting, you don't need alot. I feel like if I would slather myself in this it would cause a scent overdose since it is so strong. This has become my favorite Black Phoenix Scent so far.

    Sudha Segara

    MMM I smell milk and honey, at first I thought this evapoated on myself but I can smell it on me as I move around. Its soft and comforting, Its like a sweet warm mug of milk before bedtime. Very calming, this is good stuff. I'm keeping my lil' ear but I'm not sure about a bigger bottle, its sweet, I'll have to try this and see how long my imps ear lasts! I didnt smell the ginger at all, just milk and honey. I had put some on last night before my meditations and I must've sat there for 2 hours in deep thought staring at the candle light. I went to bed and had a good sleep night, no nightmares or unrest. I felt really good in the morning. Give it a try, if you havent already!

    Samhain

    04' Wow oh wow, really this is a masterpeice. Out of the bottle I smell a warm pumkin, not overbearing it is very comforting. Once I put it on my skin and I smell the smoke out of a chimney on a cool night, theres a breeze and a warm cup of apple cider. This is beautiful! Beautiful!! An hour or so later it has becaome a late night walk in the forest trodding on fir needles to come home to a warm house. I do smell the apple, its like a fresh pressed hot apple cider. I feel so Blessed to have this!! Thank you Beth for creating it!!

    Goona Goona

    This is really beautiful. It brings to my mind, my grans house about 20 years ago. She wore a tea rose perfume, shes chopping limes, and out in the backyard theres that soft breeze of Lavender (or is it the Marjoram?) I actually wore this visiting her a few days ago. Shes been incredibly depressed, She loved it so much I'm making her a spray bottle with it! She actually smiled and said the smell was so good! I know Beths oil voodoo blends work, but this was absolutley the most wonderful reaction I have ever had from a voodoo blend.

    Mabon 2004

    I smelled apple ginger beer, the stuff I usually make about this time of year, when I cracked open the lid. After about 5 minutes on I smell the blackberries, the smell of something woodsy, cider, and *almost* citrus. This is really beautiful! It doesnt last as long as it should though! So I added about 20 drops to a small spray bottle with a bit of castille soap and that seems to give it a bit more life. A great scent for lotions too!!

    King of Spades

    WOW, Taking a sniff from the bottle I smell the plum and a bit of Hibiscus. Once I put is on I smell Passion tea from Tazo. As it absorbs a bit into my skin it becomes this light coconut/vanilla flower that is just BEAUTIFUL. It lasts and lasts, a very strong but noble scent. I love this and I'd love to get more. This is truly a work of art!! (the bottle is beautiful too!) I hope Beth does create more because this is up there on my favorites list. The coconut is subtle but there as with the vanilla. The plum and flowers bring it up to beautiful. I feel really good wearing this!

    Best BPAL blends without floral notes

    Loviatar is my favorite. You might want to try Hellfire too!

    Queen of Spades

    I can't believe how much I love this. I didnt think I would like it from its description! But the lovely Minilux offered me a sample in trade and I've fallen madly in love. This is up on my favorites list. It is so beautiful, Its a dark floral, its not overpowering to the point where you would get a headache. (Plum does this to me sometimes) The Plum, blackberry and amber is what I smell the most in this. Oh how I should've ordered a bottle!! I feel lucky enough to have tried this. Shes strong, in control, respected and admired. Oh this is too lovely, I am having the hardest time explaining it, it is so well rounded!

    Where is this scent?

    I'm thinking Umbra as well.

    Temperature and BPAL

    In the morning I've put mine in the fridge when its been sweltering. After a couple hours I pull them out and put them back in my dresser. It would be interesting to see how long they would last in the freezer... I wonder if they would solidify?
  19. Hmm you might like Bloodlust and or Eclipse.
  20. I agree, I put this on and asked my man what I smelled like and he said cotton candy. It is very sweet, you definatly need to get your hands on a lil impsy at least to try it out.
  21. Oneiroi usually and lately Goona Goona

    Obeah

    hmmm I smell Myrrh, Patchouli and definately Jasmine. It's almost like there is the smallest amount of coffee imaginable in this. Either that or it makes me think of Beths' Mata Hari so much that my nose is making me think its in there. It is definalty masculine, earthy and warm, even with the jasmine in this. I'm really curious to know what is in it.

    Horn of Plenty

    wow Horn of Plenty Smelled like Honeysuckle to me... No vanilla or almond, but straight honeysuckle. Maybe there is something else (citrus?)but the honeysuckle is so strong in this that it is all I can smell. I'm not a fan of honeysuckle, so this is a no go for me. I might just annoint candles with the imp that I do have, but as soon as I opened the vial I got a sneeze attack. Oh well...

    Perversion

    This smells like coconut suntan lotion It's not bad, but I have some homemade lotion at home that this smells just like!! Theres vanilla and tonka I quess that make this smell so coconut to me. Its got that Malibu rum scent going on too. This is strong and lasts well, just not a perfume I would wear. This was a scent I thought I would love from the description but I was mistaken!! Glad I got a lil imp instead of a big bottle!

    Nine Mysteries

    I smell peppermint, cassia and violets. It really is invigorating. I put some on before bed last night and I sat up thinking (about my next order) and reading a bit. This is a great morning perfume and it is strong too! I'm tempted to buy a bigger bottle because I could see myself wearing this alot! Thanks ot the Lab for throwing this in as a freebie! I LOVE it!
