Little Bird

I'm not a fan of this one, but my husband likes it and has adopted my decant. I get a sharp, cool, green fir/pine note from this, with hints of earthy patchouli. Maybe a bit of a dry woods scent as well after about an hour when the scent has mostly faded away. I like forest/earth scents when they have something to sweeten them up a bit, but I don't smell any of the honey or hazelnut here.

Red musk is usually super-strong on me, but I'm not getting any red musk from this. I get lots of white tea, which is like a sharp, strong, white smelling citrus, and clean floral. Too sharp for my tastes. My husband said that this smells like bathroom cleanser.

Autumn Cider smells like a mix of red Hawaiian Punch, creamed corn (yeah, I dunno, really weird), and cinnamon potpourri on my skin. I don't smell any apple, brown sugar, or butterscotch, which is what I was most looking forward to. I catch a whiff of orange every once in a while. This actually smells sort of gross on me

The Golden Apple smells so much like rest area toilet cleanser to me. Soapy and odd to the extreme. It's like soap, a touch of fizz, a hint of light, golden spiciness, and something that's just off and gross smelling to me...

I don't really get a noticeable apple note from this one. It's more of a clean floral scent to me, with a very light sweetness to it. Orris, moonflower, and lotus are usually very sweet on me, but the florals here are more clean smelling and subdued. The Silver Apple is reminding me of one of the floral DKNY apple scents (which also doesn't smell like apple, but maybe is apple blossom-ish) and maybe Marc Jacob's Blush. Reading over the other reviews, I can also see zombi's comparison to Bath & Body Works' Sweet Pea fragrance. Mostly a clean, soft, white floral sort of smell.

In the bottle, all I can smell is the cypress (pine needles and dry wood), but I can't smell any cypress at all once this is on my skin. On my skin, this is really lackluster and not dark or resinous at all, which is what I was expecting. It has a sort of mushy apple, apple juice, and a touch of herbs smell to it. It's slightly perfumey and definitely not a crisp apple scent. It has a muted sweetness and herbal quality to it. The drydown is much the same, but starts to get baby powder on me. I'm really surprised that I'm not getting any incense, resins, tobacco, or black musk from this, as those are all notes that are usually pretty strong on my skin. But this is a bland, herbal, mushy, powdery smelling apple on me. Not bad at all, but probably not something I'm going to wear again either.

There's a very dark, slightly musky, masculine leather to this that reminds me strongly of Brom Bones at first <3. I get that sexy leather paired with something like a hint of black pepper and a slight warmth & sweetness from the coffee & tobacco. The drydown is less leathery (booo) and more to the sweet tobacco side of things, but still very good. The drydown reminds me of Pinched with Four Aces. I've really been enjoying this scent, especially on my husband (and he hates coffee scents, but doesn't mind this one, thanks to the leather and tobacco notes taking over the coffee smell). I might need a backup bottle of The Ta-Ta.

I don't like this for the first few minutes on my skin, where the pine is sharp and pinesol cleanser-ish, but the drydown is really nice and balanced between sweet cotton candy and clean floral. The little bit of sharpness from the pine just makes the blend smell darker and keeps it from being cloying as it dries down. It's like Velvet Unicorn with a bit of bite & darkness to it. I really like this, and I'd say it's a must-have if you like cotton candy scents. I think that this is my favorite of the blends released in the Halloweenie update this year.

I don't think that I'd ever smell this and think 'marshmallow.' I wish that the notes had listed cinnamon, because I probably could have passed on this scent. I get tons of sweet, heavy, strong, headache inducing cinnamon from this. It smells like cheap cinnamon potpourri with a hint of play-doh. Really disappointed with this one.

The mentions of muffins and cake suckered me in with this scent, but it's mainly a heavy, cloying floral to my nose. I think that I'm getting something like lotus (creamy, heavy, pink bubblegum smelling floral) and dry, burnt/smoky smelling leaves (which turns a bit like burnt coffee on my skin), and the combination doesn't work for me at all. The drydown is more perfumey, sharp floral. Perfumey, sharp, heavy florals and burnt coffee on me.

I feel like I've smelled this before, in a more mainstream scent that I can't quite place (something I've smelled in Sephora, though, and it's driving me crazy that I can't remember). Maybe something like Pink Sugar Sensual, but not quite. Mainly this is like a creamy, sugary vanilla musk that dries down rather perfumey, with hints of sweet, bright fruitiness (guava, not the currant) and a touch of girly powder from the amber. I get a light warmth and subtle spiciness from the pumpkin, but it's not a very strong note at all. Pumpkin Princess is a little more perfumey/musky smelling than I normally like, especially as it dries down, but the sweetness and vanilla-y qualities are nice. This isn't something that I'm going to hoard or wear a lot, but I'm happy to have a partial bottle.

I was excited for the "loads of candy and smashed pumpkins" in the description, but I don't really get any sweetness or pumpkin from this blend. I get snowy, slightly sharp pine and a whiff of sharp woodsmoke from this. The drydown is oddly perfumey and musky smelling on me. I'm not a fan of this one...

This didn't sound like something I'd really enjoy to begin with, and so it's not a big surprise that it's not really a 'me' scent. I have trouble picking out any one note; it's sort of a fruity-floral mishmash that's slightly perfumey and sharp to my nose. It's a bit on the clean smelling side of things, but mostly makes me feel like someone sprayed on a perfume that I don't quite care for. For a bptp room spray, The Orchards of Hell wasn't as strong as a lot of my other sprays and seemed to fade a bit faster than usual. I think that this smells more spring than fall-like, but it isn't something I'd reach for again. Perfumey, clean floral and subtle fruitiness.

I got a decant sample spray of this one and it's not one of my favorite bptp room sprays. I won't be buying a full size of this one. I don't think that Harvest Festival smells very unique against all of the other spicy fall/harvest air fresheners & candles on sale right now. It's mainly cinnamon spiciness to my nose, with a bit of a powdery & dry edge from the hay. It's a bit sharp to me and reminds me of the cinnamon potpourri that's widely available around this time of year. I like the more unique sprays, and this is a scent that I feel like I could get elsewhere for a lot cheaper.

Ugh. This is so disappointing. I didn't see how I could go wrong with vanilla cake and frosting, but this doesn't smell like vanilla or cake to me at all. It smells like tart cherry kool-aid powder and maybe something like corn bread. It's more tart and fruity than it is sweet on me... not really very sweet at all. I don't even understand how this smells so far from the description, but I'm actually a bit upset about it...

King Haggard smells surprisingly outdoorsy and fresh & clean to me. His scent isn't dry, bitter, or ashen on my skin. I get tons of cedar (which is good, because I love cedar) and it's like a mix of spicy, dry cedar chips and green cedar, with something that smells a lot like cold rain water and a hint of mushroom on me. It smells like wandering around in the woods after a long rain, and is actually sort of watery like cucumber as it dries down. I'm puzzled, because it really isn't bitter or dry on me at all. The woods are more creamy and pleasant smelling and there's that cold, watery edge... it smells nice in any case.

This is such a pretty fragrance. I get tons of pink watermelon (which starts off like watermelon jolly ranchers and is a bit more subdued as it dries down, but still definitely sweet and heavy on the watermelon) with hints of delicate, perfumey musk and oakmoss. The oakmoss keeps making me think of dried leaves. It smells simple and a bit on the innocent and girly side of things, but I really like this. My husband loves this on me as well.

On me, Hagsgate is like Planting Moon minus the dirt. The description lists 'black soil,' but I don't pick up on any earthiness at all. I'm glad that it's not heavy on the dirt note, though, because that makes this blend a lot more wearable and clean smelling to me. When I put this on, I smell like I've rolled through a row of tomato plants and sliced cucumbers <3. It's a good mix of that fuzzy, slightly spicy, green smell that tomato leaves have, plus the crisp, watery, cool, clean smell of freshly sliced cucumber. The tomato and cucumber remind me of happy moments from my childhood, so I find this to be a really pleasant scent, and it's just such a nice, clean, natural sort of smell.

This smells like it would be a delicious sauce. It goes on like spicy tomato, a whiff of mesquite bbq wood planks, and a hint of green that makes me think of green pepper and spicy tomato leaves. The drydown is a bit more like sweet, dark resins and lightly charred wood, but it definitely has a savory/foodie edge on my skin. My hubby said this smells like "cooking spices and bbq." I don't get the wet stone impression at all, though perhaps there's something clay-like about the whole thing if I try to pick it apart. I like it well enough, but it's not something that I'd actually wear as a personal scent.

I was afraid that this would be similar to The Last Unicorn, which is absolutely awful on me, but this is more like Waltz of the Snowflakes (or Snow White) with tons of pink lilac and a hint of the sweet soap bubbles from Gossamer. This smells intensely sweet and *PINK* to me, like candied pink flowers whipped into a vanilla & snow milkshake, topped off with a froth of soap bubbles and a sprig of mint. Super-sweet, but also clean and frosty. The drydown smells deliciously sweet and vanilla-y on my skin. Lady Amalthea is one of my favorites in The Last Unicorn lineup. I'd recommend it if you like vanilla type scents or lilac.

Pumpkin Princess is so cute <3

The only bpal that smelled really popcorn-y to me was Shill, but my bottles of that haven't aged well at all it smells like weird, fruity chemical smell with a hint of butter on me now.

My strong/confident/aggressive scents usually have dark cocoa, black patchouli, cinnamon, or dark rose in them. Dark and heavy scents <3. Some of my favorite bpals for that purpose are El Dorado, Sin, Love Me, Sacred Whore of Babylon, Depraved, Intrigue, The Red Rider, Mr. Fezziwig's Ball... Banshee Beat is close, but a bit too sweet.

El Nuevo Puritano is a lot lighter and not as dark as I was expecting. The oak goes slightly powdery on me, with the spicy, manly bay and a hint of sweet lime playing out over the dry woods. I like it initially, and like it less after about fifteen minutes. As it dries down, the sweet citrus disappears and the blend is a bit smokier, but mostly it's a dry, powdery wood smell on my skin, with more of a dusty clove smell over time. I don't get any of the leather, which is usually pretty strong on my skin. It's okay, but not something I need a full bottle of.

Chokecherry Honey smells mainly of cherry kool-aid powder - dry, powdery, tart. I usually don't like honey, but the honey here softens the tart cherry and makes the scent smell sort of pink and fluffy. It's a sweet and girly scent that's pleasant and cheery, but I'm not sure I'd ever actually wear this. I think it's a bit too sweet and simple for me. Still, it's a fun scent.
