    My first bottle. LOVE. Wet: minty Dry: Amber, calm, complex, beautiful. I love this. The mint largely fades away, so if it's the mint that's giving you pause, I encourage you to try it anyway. Fantastic.

    Brisingamen

    On drydown: Floral powdery amber. On me, the flowers are winning the battle over the ambers. I wanted to love this, but alas, too floral forme. It must be the myrtle/apple blossom, because carnation is one of the florals that's usually a winner.

    Dana O'Shee

    This smells like sweet, sweet almond on me. I swapped it, partially because it was high summer when I tried it and I couldn't envision reaching for it. Now that it's turning to fall, it occurs to me that it might be a good comforting snuggly scent. (I should probably keep all imps for a full year to try in all seasons, but then my collection would really get out of hand!)

    Leanan Sidhe

    On me, this is a perfumey light floral. Not me, but very pretty!

    Envy

    Wet: Love the GREEN brightness of herbs, mint, lavender, lime - they mix to an almost pineforest scent. Dry: Hm, all the brightness and greenness fades away to a clean soapy smell. I swapped this; a scent locket might have saved it for me.

    Tenochtitlan

    Wet: Smells like a candystore - sugary/fruity/sweet Dry: A warm scent. Sweeter than I'd have thought given the notes. On my own, I'd hang on to this one but unfortunately my SO seems to be allergic - perhaps the tulip/poppy?

    EPIC BPAL Spreadsheet Thread

    Hackess said she tends to put new stuff at the bottom of the sheet, so you can just copy that new stuff and paste it into your existing version. (I, however, am avoiding this problem by trying my DARNDEST to stick to the GC - and then I don't need to worry about it. How long will this last? Only time will tell... )

    Ars Moriendi recs

    I second Danse Macabre (and I imagine it's better as the weather is cooler). I also really like Haunted. (Especially, I discovered, layered with Snake Oil, but that's a completely different story. ) Embalming Fluid I like, too, but it's best to wait until summer weather. Eternal was a nice light floral that was pretty enough, but not really for me- since you mention light florals, it may be worth a try.
