    Blood Rose

    On me it's grape koolaid and rose. I guess I'm not ready for the grownups table. Swappity swap!

    Maiden

    This is my best rose yet. Not overpowering, just soft, beautiful, and innocent.

    Niflheim

    Definately aquatic. The flowers don't come through for me.

    Ephemera

    I'm not big on florals. I can smell some rose, and what I think is lily. There's also something green here I can't put my finger on...

    O

    Very, very vanilla. And just a touch of honey. I'm not sure what I think of this, but I think it will layer nicely.

    Phobos

    Very verbina and very astringent. Not for me! I like citrus, but this is too bitter.

    Masabakes

    Dark spicy myrrh! To me this is very light. No fruit here, but I'm really liking this one.

    Greed

    Patchouli and wood. My skin seems to amp wood - that's mostly all I can smell.

    Elegba

    Butter rum life savers! Too sweet for me! I like foody, but this is like drowning in Buttershots.

    Kuang Shi

    I love white musk! And with it, we have orange and a hint of licorice. (I call them as I smell them. ) This may be a new favorite.

    Haunted

    No amber on me! Just black musk which seems to communicate itself to my senses as "unwashed socks."

    Aeval

    I love white musk. This is a Zephyr cousin. These's sage and something herbal here as well. A keeper.

    Moon Rose

    My skin amps the heck out of rose. This is the first BPAL rose I've tried I actually could wear. Rose and powder. Also a nice grass note.

    The Pit & The Pendulum

    Wood and resins. Surprisingly light and refreshing. Maybe a bit of myrrh? Similar to Penitence, but lighter.

    Xiuhtecuhtli

    White and sweet. Plumaria and light florals I can't identify. I like this, although I don't usually do florals.

    Danse Macabre

    I'm getting lots of cypress. Green, with a sour medicinal note. Kind of like cleaning fluid. There's a peppery smell here too.

    Scherezade

    There's something about this that I can't put my finger on, but I don't like it. Musky with wood notes. There's a touch of civet too.

    Omen

    Spicy. I get the myrrh from Penitence with a more woody note Sort of the lovechild of Penitence and Cathedral. I don't get a dark feeling at all. Very church-like.

    Hymn

    Others have said gentle. To me it's very faint. Almost no smell at all. A little rose, a little resin. My skin eats what's left.
  20. hologhost

    Magdalene

    I don't get rose out of this at all. Soap - hotel soap. Off to the swap pile with ye.

    Tempest

    This is the closest I've smelt to a commercial "Rain" fragrence in BPAL. Ozone.
  22. hologhost

    Casanova

    In the bottle: Lavender On me: Lavender with some citrus undertones. Fades a bit fast. I like this. I don't think it smells masculine per se. It's very relaxing for me.
  23. hologhost

    Satyr

    I really should know better. Civet is not my friend. This smells...unclean to me. It's similar to Czernborg, but I like that one better.

    Chaos Theory III: Strange Attractors

    DIII In the bottle: Fruit, spice, and an alcohol note. On me: Grape Koolaid - but more sophisticated. Plum? Huckleberry? It still has the background spicy note. DIV In the bottle: Cherry, cherry, cherry. Not cough drops - more like jam. On me: Marinated cherries - cherries with booze! I like this. I'm not sure where I'd wear it, but I like it.

    Chaos Theory III: Strange Attractors

    DVI In the bottle: Milk chocolate and tobacco On me: Boy this is hard. This moves to a more nutty/fruity smell. The chocolate and tobacco are still there, but it's less straight forward. I know this makes it sound a Cadbury Fruit and Nut bar, but that's not it either. It doesn't smell "foodie," per se, if that makes any sense at all.
