    Honey Gingerbread

    I don't get much gingerbread - but that's ok, the honey is yum! Bright and delicious. I might try layering it with Gingerbread Poppet to bring out the gingerbread more. I like.

    Snowy Rum Ball

    I get coconut and rum from this. (And probably something else I can't place.) Which sounds tropical, but it's actually a cool/cold scent. Strangely it smells very much like soap on me for a while, and then the rum takes over and it becomes a bit too masculine for my taste.

    Motley

    I hate to say this, but it smells like a clean public bathroom to me.

    Chaos Theory V: Recursive Self-Similarity v2

    CII I am not good at picking out notes, but here is my impression! I smell something cool and serene. It's coming from a light, almost crisp sort of green... I don't know, maybe aloe? Cucumber? Yes, pretty sure it's cucumber. It's very soothing! I think I'm also getting something a little sweeter like prickly pear or melon, but that may just be the honey from O. It's less sweet than O is by itself, though. A spring/summer scent fo' sho'. To summarize: a light, refreshing cucumber melon scent. I quite like this! (On a another note, this is the fullest bottle I've ever seen. The oil level was way high into the neck.)

    Gluhwein

    I'm in love with Gluhwein. Before trying it, I was worried it would be too boozy, and when wet, it is pretty potent. But once dry it's perfection. A gorgeous spiced honeyed red wine. It's evocative of a sleepy, happy holiday night sitting by the fire while it's snowing outside. Thank you lab goblins for this!
  6. I love Xanthe, even though it goes salty on me after a couple hours. It's like tropical-fruit gum. I don't know if I necessarily get strawberry from Floating Brain, just... "pink", heh. Oh yay, I'm expecting an imp of that soon. (Love your icon!)
  7. Is there anything in the GC that is similar to I Fell in Love With a Floating Brain? Brain smells like pink bubblegum to me. Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo maybe? I like it and I'm trying to decide if I need a "back-up" bottle.

    Invasion of the Flesh-Eating Reindeer from Uranus

    This is spicy and sexy and wonderful. I don't get much fruitcake, just spicy gingerbread and smooth intoxicating rum. The musk I think serves to strengthen the scent and make it more grown-up. Like an adult version of Gingerbread Poppet. LOVE this!

    MVJBA: Pancake Breakfast

    Smells just like buttery, golden pancakes! Nom. I don't get much, if any, boysenberry, but I do smell syrup of some kind. It's very sweet, but not so sweet that it gives me a headache. I love it.

    Xanthe, The Weeping Clown

    I had to review this because it is like *happiness in a bottle*. I put it on and instantly felt happier and blissed out. (Kind of ironic, considering the name!) Damn. So, the pepper comes out a bit when dries, but it's mostly like fruity gum. I don't know what it is, but something in it has me buzzing. (And I was feeling pretty ho-hum before.) I will definitely be needing a bottle! Or more! Edit: It fades in a few hours on me to something kind of salty. I'll either need to keep reapplying or try it in a scent locket.

    I want a BPAL that smells like Bath & Body Works...

    Antique Lace seems similar to me, although there's something in it that's a bit cooler and cleaner than Warm Vanilla Sugar. Edit: I just tried Love's Philosophy (an LE), and it's more similar. Vanilla, saffron, and cream. Very warm and simple.
