    Tum

    I cannot believe that I am the first to recieve this scent....but I will try to be the first to review it and do it justice. I got an imp of this in the order that arrived today. I can't pick any one scent out of this blend....it is so well blended. But I will give impressions as they come. In the vial: Very incensy....with a sharpness to it....almost citrusy. I smell spice..dark spice like cardamom. Interesting. Wet on skin: Very strong.....but not alot of throw, which is wierd. You would expect it to smell strong everywhere, but it's only strong when it is next to your nose. Right now it smells the same as it did in the bottle. Dry for 30 minutes: sweet orange and clove incense....this blend is amazing.....I wish I could buy a bottle of this.....the more I wear it, the more it develops this creaminess to it. Oh this is wonderful!! If Beth ever makes it to where this is available to buy....I will be the first in line! Merged with existing Tum review thread. --Shollin

    Akuma

    smells sweet and tangy in the bottle. I can't quite pick out which fruit it smells like....it's more like a cacophany of ripe fruits to me. On dry down, it becomes a sexy skin scent to me and I love it. So have to get a big bottle of this!

    O

    Ok, I got this in a swap, and it was a decant......and I am sitting here thinking that this might be the reason why I smell NOTHING AT ALL in this vial! I put it one, and again, a very faint whiff of something and then poof! it's gone. WTH? I will have to get a fresher imp and try this one again!!!

    ugh- pure roses-- I can smell a little bit of the pear which kept me from immediately hating it, but on my skin, it's all roses and .....ugh

    The Apothecary

    I love this blend......it seems sweeter to me than it appears the rest of you thought it. I love any fig scent and this one surpasses my expectations. I just wish it didn't fade so darned fast!!!

    juicy sexy fruit all the way! this is such a well rounded scent, it smells even better when it's been on my skin for awhile. Love this oil!!

    very sweet, which is good! In vial, very strong. But on skin, it mellows out into a sort of cotton candy smell. IMO it blends very well with my silky underwear powder fom lush!!

    Dracul

    OMG...... this smells absolutely fabulous on the guy!! I am stockpiling imps until I can afford a big bottle purchase. It smells so sexy on him and makes me want to snuggle into the crook of his neck, which I am sure he doesn't mind at all!! lol

    this is very flowery, but not in a bad way! I am usually all "flowers? ugh" but this one is quite nice. There is almost a spicy quality to it that keeps it from being overly........um......flowery

    Mi-Go Brain Canister

    I absolutely adore Mi-Go Brain Cannister!! I got an imp today and it was the first thing I put on. It doesn't last very long on me, but it smells amazing....very freah and sexy and yes, pink......plus the fiance was snuggling my neck after I put it on and that's ALWAYS a good thing!! This is definately a keeper. Now, where oh where can I get a bigger bottle? ::walks off with stick to rouse one up::

    Bewitched

    I got this scent yesterday in my order from the lab, and as soon as I opened it I knew I loved it. There is a store in my town called bath junkie where you can go and mix and match oils to make your own custom scent and then scent all manner of bath and body things with it. Not too long ago I went and made a custom blend for myself that I called Fairy Glen and it smelled just like this Bewitched. I am so inlove, this will definately be a big bottle. The berries and sage and tea all combine into this absolutely wonderful fragrance that reminds me of being in the forest. Wonderful!

    Aeval

    Okay, I got this from the lab yesterday and I hope I can get this review in before the thunderstorm cuts out my electricity.... here goes! In the bottle it was green and nice, and I could smell the sweet pea, and a slight spiciness. When I put it on my skin however, all I smell is sunscreen. Heavy sunscreen. That sucks, because I really wanted to smell the tonka, as it is one of my favorite scents. As it dries, I still get the sunscreen, although now it is starting to smell like a men's aftershave. Argh, this one is not working with my chemistry at all. I guess it will be going into the swap pile, and my search for the perfect tonka scent will be continuing. How disappointing.

    Bordello

    I just got this in an imp pack today, and when I opened the bottle, I had to put it on. I simply adore this oil. The plums come out really strong in the bottle and when I first put it on my skin, and that is wonderful, but then it dries down to this smooth, smoky sweet, sexy smell that I have already fallen completely in love with. I must own a big bottle of this. Must. Own.

    Why do all BPAL scents smell the same to me??

    Thank you so much for the encouraging words!! C., I have since tried some of the ones I got from you on my skin and I am IN LOVE with maccu picchu and ultraviolet!! I will try the others in time!

    Why do all BPAL scents smell the same to me??

    I guess that the cheap new age incense comment wasn't exactly needed....it was just the only thing I could come up with at the time.....and yes I am PMSing, so that could have something to do with it.....maybe I am just not a big musk fan and didn't know it......i love some of the lighter scents I got, such as ultraviolet, which is soooooo different than anything I have ever smelled before......but I am so used to wearing what the rest of the world deems "darker" scents (ie: Shalimar, the new Prada, Indecence by Givenchy....even a MAC fragrance that I would kill to find now), that I thought I would love some of the muskier scents, but maybe it's not musk in those perfumes.....I am rambling.....I so do not want to hurt anyone's feelings, and I feel as if I have....weird. It's the mood swings!
