    Rozpustnica

    Blue and white musks, moonflower, rose, magnolia, lemon verbena, and lychee. Starts off as a heady, lemony perfume but soon tames down to a dry musk scent tinged with a hint of citrus and a subtle floral undertone. There is a very dusty rose note in the background that swirls around the lemon verbena.

    Day-Old Ham

    Day-Old Ham smells like motherfucking day old ham. If you thought, "Oh Beth doesn't hate us that much it will probably smell like Unicorn farts." Well Beth clearly DOES hate us this much and if you think it smells like unicorn farts it is only because unicorn farts smell like fucking day old ham. I could get out my bottle of Gore Shock and compare the two but I don't hate myself that much.

    Firethorn Berry Tea

    Beat the rush and go buy a bottle of this now. You won't be sorry. I don't get any bitterness at all, more of a rose hip tea sort of blend. It reminds me a bit of Dorian and is just beautiful. Tea, a hint of sweetness and some kind of red berry in the mix.

    Sherlock Holmes

    No clue how to describe this, wet it is a sweet almost juicy blend on me. Clean but in no way soapy. Unisex, or maybe just asexual. Dry it becomes more leathery with a slight bitterness. Definate win.

    Euphony

    Euphony Creates an atmosphere of trust, harmony, compassion and understanding. Definitely need some harmony and understanding in my life right now. I used Euphony last night to anoint a white candle as I reflected on the areas of my life that are interconnected but not working in unison and only adding to the dissonance and stress in my life. I hope this will aid in bringing harmony to my personal, professional, and school lives as they are all pulling me in different directions right now. Euphony smells of fresh, clean, powdery florals. Possibly of the violet persuasion

    Enraged Orangutan Musk

    You didn't think I'd really do it, didja? Five dark, aggressive, furious musks with ambergris bouquet, Malaysian rainforest plant extracts, black amber and orange peel. Inspired by Lycanthrope and Heretic on the BPAL forum! Ok - so EOM take two (Glad I copied my post!) I love the smell of enraged orangutans in the morning....What do they smell like you ask? So it is musky - go figure - but it stays amazingly close to your skin. There is definately an amber note in here, again not overpowering. It is almost a "light" scent - not a lot of throw - which is a good thing in my book. The first thing I thought was that it would be a great scent for layering. There is definately a tang hit of musk you get at the end of a deep huff off of your wrist.
  7. In the bottle I think this smells like girl scout Samoa cookies. On it dries down to something very similar to Spooky. Love it.

    Avunculus

    Lots of orange/orange blossom honey in here. Basically smells like golden citrus sunshine. But I swear there is tobacco in here somewhere.

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    Does anyone have pictures of the NYCC labels?

    Makhanitis

    Deviser, contriver. Black plum, burgundy wine, sandalwood, and champaca. A dark plum with almost a vetiver vibe. This is the plum in my beloved Hellion. Definatly with a wine vibe and I think I am getting that heavy spice/incense vibe from the champaca. The plum mellows into the background and the mellow spices really start to come through.

    Grr

    Headache relief. This is such a clear soothing mint. Very wintergreen and fresh. Wakes up your brain even as it sooths it. Great for clarity after a long day sniffing bpal. I'm feeling much more relaxed and laid back now.

    Anaconda

    This was a gift with the purchase of the full Snake Pit set. No scent description is available. I want about a gallon of this. It is almost mean to be teased with a wee little imp but I am so grateful to have it. Sexiest damn thing I have smelled - maybe my favorite ever. It is a sugary, creme brule version of Snake Oil. So fucking mean. Beth, if you are readinig this, I will come to your house and be your cabana girl for life if you would only just make this available in 5ml form. I am begging here. So. Freaking. Good. Did I mention the sugar skull/snake oil love child aspect?

    Psithyristês

    Whispering. Lily of the valley, tea rose, orris, ambergris, and plumeria. A very ethereal blend. The lily of the valley makes this an airy floral with just a breath of roses in the background. There is something almost lemony in the background.

    Pisces 2008

    Mutable water: the essence of faith. Hemp, opium poppy, sarsaparilla, grains of paradise, passion flower, wisteria, Irish moss, and gentian. Musky, earthy herbal. Base notes remind me a bit of Hunter Moon 07 only layered with a sort of green herbal and autumnal grain feel. Am super happy I got this. Makes me want to be a be a Pisces - or just go find one to snuggle. This is a warm, comforting scent that makes you feel like you are wrapped up safe in a blanket in front of a warm fire. The muskiness of it is what really grounds the other notes for me. It is super well blended.

    Moana

    Seaweed, awapuhi, and sea foam. This is a hard one to wrap my brain around. Or my nose rather. There is a sort of juicy/spicy sweetness that I didn't expect. I thought it would be an aquatic. There defiantly is a hit of some sort of nori but it isn't the prominent note once dry. Maybe ginger? Fresh ginger root. And something sweet but mellow. I don't know what sea foam smells like but it is a good analogy for this scent. Just when you think you have a handle on it it just bursts and blows away. Something tangible but ephemeral ETA: I should mention that in the bottle this was more of a pungent sort of swirling ocean scent. More like a rocky cold water tide pool on a cloudy day.

    PPV662

    I rather like it but can't figure out what exactly is in it! This is a light sweet musk with maybe some amber or resins, and going on wet I get a licoricey vibe happening - but that part faded quickly. It seems to be in the Harvest Moon 07/Ivanushka scent family

    Parker Lily

    Before I knew how rare this was going to be I had decided I needed multiple backup bottles as I liked it so much. It reminds me of some of my favorite bpal blends yet is like nothing I have smelled before. It is smut without the smuttiness, Hellion only with melon, Hunter Moon 07 but with fewer musks. I love this blend. It is resinous without being dark, musky without being overwhelming, melony with out being all about fruit. If you have a change to get your hands on a bottle I highly - HIGHLY - recommend it. Just beautiful

    Silver-Haired Bat

    I can see how some would get cotton candy from this. The musky sweetness reminds me a lot of the sugar spun sweetness of Midway. I think it is the Benzoin. I love the way this goes on but it seems to fade pretty fast on me (one hour). It could just be that it is warm here and my skin is dry so YMMV.

    Winter Fairy Bath Oil

    I am a jasmine hater and didn't expect to like this but I do. A beautiful sweet floral and is STRONG. Let me repeat. It is effing STRONG! I used it as an end of shower slathering and scent wise a little goes a long way. Jasmine and Honey are definatly the most prominent notes and the jasmine doesn't go wonky on me like most do so thumbs up

    Wiley's Swamp

    A few rough logs, laid side by side, served for a bridge over this stream. On that side of the road where the brook entered the wood, a group of oaks and chestnuts, matted thick with wild grapevines, threw a cavernous gloom over it. To pass this bridge was the severest trial. It was at this identical spot that the unfortunate André was captured, and under the covert of those chestnuts and vines were the sturdy yeomen concealed who surprised him. This has ever since been considered a haunted stream, and fearful are the feelings of the schoolboy who has to pass it alone after dark. Water-logged and rotting wood, fallen chestnuts, oak leaf, bog laurel, and Virginia creeper. the sweet stench of rotting wet things and a fizzy hint of what smells like lime. A surprisingly bright scent. the woods in this are very smooth, not in your face at all. Maybe a touch of violets in the background. The most cheerful swamp it has ever been my pleasure to sniff.

    Pussy

    The delicious honey and orange combo makes Pussy smell a lot like Lush's B Never Shower gel - which I freaking adore So basically Pussy is my favorite BPAL honey scent to date. The tobacco really adds another dimension to the blend. Fabulous

    Blue Morpho

    Wet it kinda reminds me of Sweet tarts. A sweet juicy yet powdery scent. Dry it goes much more floral but still sweet

    Half Elf v5

    It smells like creamy vanilla amber honey musk goodness with a hint of wet green plant stems.

    Montresor

    "Drink," I said, presenting him the wine. He raised it to his lips with a leer. He paused and nodded to me familiarly, while his bells jingled. "I drink," he said, "to the buried that repose around us." "And I to your long life." The black fruit and vanilla oaken notes of fine Medoc and De Grâve, but not a hint of the elusive Amontillado. This smells of black current/cherries with a liberal dose of alcohol but without smelling "boozy" if that makes sense. It has an amazing amount of throw - really packs a punch. It goes through a cherry cough syrup phase before settling down. The golden oak notes are some of the last to come up for me but are fantastic once they do. (For the Lush fans it reminds me a lot of Skin Sin)
  25. Am kind of confused by your post. So you got a CnS on the 19th from USPS and are wondering where your order is? Are you in the UK like your flag suggests? Do parcels usually take under a week to get from the states to you? Because that doesn't seem like you have been waiting long?
