    Saturn

    I will add a full review of Saturn later, but I agree with most of what others have said. It is a very strong masculine scent. Very Herbal and Inscensy. Pungently resinous, but also smells strongly of the earth. Rich sweet soil after a rain. But also an undernote that reminds me of Black Pearl - of cocoa or coffee or maybe toasted coconut. There is something about this one that strongly reminds me of the Lush discontinued soap Middle Earth Turns To Rock ... also known as Waylander.

    Death Cap

    9 / 10 The way Death Cap smells in the imp and what it turns into on your skin are vastly different. It hits almost every fragrance note except for the florals and citrus ones. If the Lush products Rainbow Worrier Bomb and Waylander soap had a love child it could be this BPAL oil! This one is going on the must buy a 5 ml list.

    Aizen-Myoo

    9/10 This one morphs more than any scent I have tried so far. It is very sharp and strong at first. I smell star fruit and other exotic citrus - with an undernote of tea. I can't detect any cherry blossom. On drydown this morphs into an amazing scent! Sweeter and creamier and much more complex! I love this even more after 20 minutes. There is definately a 5ml in my future.

    Aglaea

    7/10 I wasn't super impressed with this one, but I did like it. It ws very fruity and smelled strongly to me of peach and nectarines. It was pretty consistent from first sniff through dry down, with the only noticible change for me being it was more sharp at first and mellowed and sweetened the longer I wore it. All in all it was a very happy scent. I wouldn't mind having another imp.

    Ahathoor

    8/10 This is so subtle that it is almost scentless in the vial. One first swipe there is a hint of lemon rind, a hint of spice ...Birch beer? Then I smelled sweet water, LIKE a cold glass of cucumber water after a massage at your favorite spa. Ice water with slices of cucumber and lemon and water droplets on the outside of the thin crystal glass. This is very light - bright - crisp --- almost undectectable but invokes a happy spring feeling - like when you wake up after partying late the night before , only you realize you don't feel hungover at all but rested and refreshed and then stretch and hear a bird singing in a lemon tree outside your open window. ... sheer curtains slightly moving from a blue sky breeze. ...subtle subtle undernote like far away amber and spice, but the top note is lemon and cucumber water. A future 5 ml purchase.

    Alecto

    9/10 This one is very intriguinging - sweet, but not in a candy way. There is a richness in it that smells like olive oil on warm skin. It is suprisingly nice! There is a leafy note as well. I think this would smell great on a man, but could also be used by a woman. Something about it reminds me of Joop. On dry down the cedarwood note comes out and I smell the leafy note more. Some say this reminds them of spring, but for me it is a perfect fall scent as it recalls when you first notice a crispness in the morning. Maybe it seems like a fall scent to me because of the hint of freshly sharpened pencils in the blend. The olive oil scent stays constant while the other notes jockey for position. It seems like an uplifting blend to me - I am puzzled by the "unceasing in anger" name. I need to by a 5 ml of this for my husband.

    Lyonesse

    This is my new favorite! 10/10 If Black Pearl had an orgy with Morocco, Snake Oil, & Antique Lace, this would be their love child. This is a complex but perfectly blended scent. All the notes do not fight with each other, but instead blend into something better than you can imagine. It is sexy and mysterious and spicy and warm and herbal and resinous and sweet in a hint of rich butterscotch kind of way. There is also a sweet tropical beach note as well as a floral whiff and the balance of the Musk and Amber and Sandalwood are wonderful! All in all, I can't stop sniffing my wrist and hand. I liked it quite a bit on first sniff - and the longer I wear it the more I love it. 1 hour later it is even more lovely. I will definately buy a large bottle in my next order.
