    Proshitapathika

    Yes, as everyone has already said, this is indeed a refreshing lemony blend. Instead of smelling like straight up lemons, though, this smells just like Lemon Heads candy! (do they even MAKE that stuff anymore??) It's a sweet, sugary, slightly creamy lemon note, and it's just lovely! I can also detect a bit of the star anise in the background. There's a bit of a licorice kick. This is very pretty, and I like it quite a bit more than I thought I would.

    Hymn

    When this is first applied, it is very, very rosey. I was sure this was going to be a straight up pink rose scent. After it dries down, the underlying incenses and resins begin to emerge, and Hymn morphs into something completely different. It becomes a churchy, frankincese, smoky resin blend with the perfume of the rose absolute floating shyly in the background. This really does remind me of sunday morning in church when I was a little girl. This has medium throw. Not quite my kind of thing, but hauntingly beautiful just the same.

    Katharina

    This is beautiful!! I lovely apricot blends, and this one is no exception. Katharina is an exquisitely soft, inviting, feminine scent. The top note is a gloriously creamy apricot, and it's undershadowed by a gorgeous white musk and the barest hint of orange blossom. Very fruity yet creamy at the same time; refreshingly citrusey yet soft and perfumey. This doesn't have a lot of throw, but it's worth sniffing up close. This is very, very lovely and I really like it.

    The Music of Erich Zahn

    First impressions: dark, earthy,resinous, a bit powdery, masculine. This is a deep, dark, evil smelling resin blend. It is very manly, and there is something in the background that smells a bit burnt. The undertones are sweet and go quite powdery on me. This clings close to my skin, but is very long lasting. Not quite my kind of thing.

    Vechernyaya

    First Impressions: Chilly, white, soft, feminine, enchanting This is a very cool felling scent; ultra white and sophisticated. There is a soft floral that floats through the background. Something about this reminds me of The Evening Star, but this is definitely a bit more heady. This smells like an expensive women's perfume, but it has a certain innocence about it too. This has rather light throw, but is strong close up. Very hauntingly beautiful.

    Loup Garou

    Wow, this is the crispest, truest pine tree scent I've ever sniffed! This is sooo green, fresh and christmasey! It's just like sticking your nose in a fresh Christmas tree right after you bring it home and set it up. There is the barest hint of an "edge" to this scent, which must be the eucalyptus. This has pretty strong throw as well. I think this is very pretty, how could I not like something that reminds me this much of Christmas Eve??

    Love-In-Idleness

    This is lovely, sweet, feminine, and all around uplifting. A rich, soft, heady floral scent, which mainly smells of lilies to me. Not just any lily, this smells like the real deal, the expensive, exotic bouquets your husband can never quite afford. This is very, very womanly and sexy, and would probably drive a number of men wild. I like this very much, i think it's quite gorgeous!

    Psyche

    This is mainly a rose blend on me, with undertones of frankincense and orchid. I'm not big on this rose note; it just doesn't agree with me the way the rose notes in Rose Red and Peacock Queen do. The rose in Psyche actually smells a bit "old lady" to me. I think I would like this more if the lavender was more prominant; I actually can't smell it at all. This is very light on me, with almost no throw. Not quite my type of scent.

    The Scales of Deprivation

    First Impressions: Clean, sharp, masculine, something in there smells scrumptious Normally I wouldn't go for a scent with these notes, since vetiver is one of my mortal enemies. I actually do like this, though I think it would be much better on a man. On my skin; this smells mainly of frankincense, sandalwood, and lavendar. It has a woodsy, elegant base with spicy, bold overtones. The lemon is barely there, just a hint somewhere in the background. I am very partial to lavendar blends, and I think that's what redeemed this one for me. This is not something I would wear, but I would very much like for my man to wear it.

    Malice

    Wow, this reminds me sooo much of another BPAL blend, but at this point, I have sniffed so many, I just cannot put my finger on which one!! A lovely blend, I love the red patchouli note that Beth uses, its just gorgoeus. This is mainly a patchouli blend on me, with a warm, throbbing, sexy backdrop. You know what?? I think I just figured it out: this oddly reminds me a bit of Debauchery, although I know that is a civet blend. It has that same, deep, dark, insanely sensual thing going on. I think this would be very nice on men or women, and I would definitely wear this out for a night of clubbing. Malice had good throw, and it seems as if it will last quite awhile on my wrist. Very nice!

    Storm Moon

    Yay! I FINALLY got my hands on an imp of this!! (Just one Lunar blend left to try!) WOW! This is strong for an ozone, and much prettier than I imagined. First impressions: strong, masculine, clean, soapy/floral, rainy ozone, a hint of ice. This is a very true rain smell, and although it goes a little bit fabric softener on me, it's still quite pretty. I can certainly detect some wafting florals floating through, and a sharp ozone with a touch of wintery winds underneath. I'm not a big fan of ozones, but this is really nice, and I think I would like this on my man. It definitely strikes me as a manly scent. This is strong for a lunar blend, and has quite a bit of throw upon application. I'm so excited I got the opportunity to try the elusive Storm Moon!!

    The Witch Queen

    Ok, I know this sounds bizarre, but this smells like celery on me!! Isn't that strange?? Maybe its the pimento? Anyway, yes, celery with a light, floral undertone. I was hoping the celery effect would go away on the dry down, but alas, The Witch Queen doesn't like me! Oh well, I still love the Fairy Market.

    Virgo 2007

    First impressions: Green, sharp, bright, herbal, masculine. This is a very uplifting, strongly green scent. There is a lovely, clean green herbal with a sweet, honeysuckle undertone. This is very pretty and unique, but on me it smells decidedly masculine. As it dries down a bit, it becomes much more honeysuckle and much less herbal, and it becomes a bit more feminine. Pretty! My husband has already claimed this bottle.

    Singing Moon

    First impression: green, floral, marshy, watery, herbal This smells like evil, swampy flowers on me; like a Sping time bouquet left out in the marsh. There is a very herbally quality in there as well. The longer this sits on my skin, the more sharp and herbal it becomes. This is very stong on my skin; perhaps one of the strongest lunacy blends on me ever. It lasts for quite awhile as well. This is not my type of thing, unfortunately; oh how I wanted to love The Singing Moon!

    The Emathides

    Love at first sniff!! Lovely, warm, rich, foody. I am just crazy about black amber, and this blend is no exception. This smells primarily of black amber and black currant on me, with swirling undertones of lavendar and soft florals. This smells quite differently than I expected it to; it's quite a bit more foody on me, which is great!! This is so unique, a bizarre, yet wonderful combination of notes. I would say this has medium throw, but doesn't last more than a few hours. I love this, I will certainly be keeping my bottle to enjoy!!

    Spellbound

    Wow, this is just beautiful. I can't believe it's taken me this long to try Spellbound! This really stays true to the ingredients, and it's actually the perfect blend of rose, amber and red musks. How could you go wrong with 3 of the best notes ever?? The rose note is strong and bold, and the amber and musks have a very earthy, incensey feel. This reminds me of creeping, bewitching, expensive witch's incense. Just wonderful!! So pretty, I would consider buying a 5 ml.

    Shattered

    This is very sharp, bright, and strong. The most noticible notes on me are mint, boozy white champagne, and undertones of grapefruit and ozones. The longer this sits on my skin, the stronger the mint note gets. This almost smells like spearmint gum after awhile. Ozones and mints are definitely not my thing, but I'm sure this is lovely on the right person.

    The Sportive Sun

    Wow!! Very, very strong sweet blend, smells mainly of amber and frangipani. This has tons of throw on me, and is long lasting. There is something very warm and bright about this scent, although it is much sweeter than I expected it to be. It does conjours images of a bright sun. This goes a little powdery on my skin, but is a very pretty scent just the same. This one will go alllll night

    The Gibbous Moon

    Moonflower, Madonna lily, orris, white ginger, cucumber, hyacinth, and Irish moss. First impression: Lily, soft florals, whiteness, calmness, clean. The lily is definitely the top note on me, and it comes screaming off of my skin when first applied. There is a certain crispness to the smooth undertones; the cucumber and the white ginger is in there somewhere. This is very feminine, haunting, and lovely. Not quite my thing, but very beautiful just the same.

    Thirteen (13): July 2007

    Wow!! Chocolate, fruity, foody goodness!! This is definitely the best version of 13 so far!! Simply put, this smells like white chocolate and cotton candy on me, yum!! It's definitely a chocolate covered fruit scent, sooo delightfully foody!! This is actually quite strong when it is first applied, and has quite a bit of throw. It lasts on my skin about 3 hours. I LOVE this!!! Fabulous!! Best 13 EVER!!!

    Fairy Market

    This is exquisitely lovely!! A beautiful, sweet, haunting combination of soft, creeping florals, light incense and sugary sweetness. When first applied, the florals are on top, with a wafting of smoke and sugar floating somewhere beneath. When it dries down, it morphs into a sugary, foody confection with a hint of sweet florals. This is much like a combination of Midnight on the Midway and the new version of Pink Moon. This lasts about 4 hours on my skin. I love this one; it's fabulous!! I love the book Stardust, I am soooo psyched to see the movie!!!!!

    Leo 2007

    Warm, golden, sweet and bold. This is just lovely, a beautiful amber blend. There is a rich, almost citrusey undertone to the amber. In between there is a smattering of soft frankincense and luxurious spices. This is very, very nice. Spun gold in a bottle. I will certainly be keeping my bottle

    Allison Gross

    This is quite different from anything I've ever sniffed. When first applied, it smells like a smattering of sweet flowers with an odd, marshy base. I thought it might work on me. After it has dried down a bit, a very strong, earthy/herbal noter rears its head, and the blend goes a bit funky on my skin. There is still a soft, powdery floral base, but the sourness of the herbal note all but drowns it out. It's not terrible on me, just probably not something I'd want to smell like. This is just perfect for Allison Gross; very grassy and otherworldly. Not my thing, But I really think a lot of people will like this for its uniqueness.

    Red Moon 2007

    This is a lot more subtle than I thought it would be. Very lovely, the traditional lunar oil base with a warmed over dragon's blood, a bit of spicy red musk, and a hint of the sweet amber. It very incensey to me, but a beautiful, expensive, subdued incense scent. Like when you walk into a wise old witch's house and you can smell the years of incense and herbs that have been burned near her alter. I am big fan of dragon's blood, so I like this very much. The Red Moon doesn't last terribly long on me, but alas, that is the way of the lunar oils. This is a very pretty scent, and I think I will keep my bottle.

    Privilege

    In the bottle, this smells very much like a fancy, white women's perfume you would buy in a fine boutique. Perfect! Once I put it on, it was a very bright, heady white floral that reeks of slutty party girl. Almost a generic type floral, this perectly embodies the emptiness of Ms. Hilton's head! Pleasing yet empty, Beth's got it right here! Yes, this is very fleeting on my skin as well. After a minute or two I can barely smell it. I'm keeping this bottle for the hilarious aspect of this scent alone!
