    Spellbound

    Perfectly enchanting! An irresistibly sexual, utterly rapturous blend of three roses, radiant amber, and sensual red musk. This scent confuses me. I am both ambivalent about it, yet sometimes I find myself loving it. The roses aren't as strong for me as the red musk and amber. Sometimes it is very incensey on me, which isn't my thing, but sometimes it is almost pure amber. Other times the red musk pops up to say hello. I probably would have liked it better had it just been amber and rose.

    Best BPAL for gym, workout, sports, exercise?

    When I sweat, Blood Amber smells luscious on me. It is usually fantastic, but because it is such a skin smell on me it gets extra nice when I'm sweaty.

    Black Lotus

    Way too sweet for me at first. The amber, myrrh and sandalwood came out after a while, but the lotus was just too strong to really settle down as I would have hoped. Not unpleasant, but too sweet for me.

    Recs for Longest Lasting Oils

    Eve lasted a long time on me, even though it is a lighter floral. I think the honey made it stick around. I couldn't get rid of Horn of Plenty either. Even though I very much wanted to!

    What to wear to a rock show?

    I haven't tried it, and it just got discontinued, but Glitter sounds like it would be fun
  6. Eve is a lovely, light floral and honey scent that is not incensey at all.

    Trying to find the most dramatic BPAL scent

    Wicked is very dramatic in its sexiness, I think.

    When you need something comforting or cheering

    It's impossible to be cranky when you are wearing something as flirty and fun as Jailbait.

    Jailbait

    This is the epitome of flirtiness. All bubblegum initally, then it dries down to a floral, sweet fragrance. I am very impressed because I usually can't wear anything that has anything to do with cherry. Might have to be on my big bottle list, which is surprising because I never thought I'd like it. I feel like wearing a very short cheerleading skirt and blowing bubbles

    Forbidden Fruit

    This is surprisingly musky. Very sweet on first application, but as it is drying down I like it more and more. It is fruity and sweet, but with a bit of musk and amber to make it not sickly or cough syrup. I still can't quite decide whether to buy a bottle or not, but I am very pleasantly surprised. It suits the name too - Fruity and sweet, but a little naughty as well

    Belle Époque

    This faded quite quickly on me, but it was mostly sandalwood on me, with a hint of flowers and just the faintest suggestion of mandarin. As it dries down I can smell the mandarin more. I can't really detect the vanilla all that much at this point. Nice, but I will probably just keep the imp and not get a bottle.
  12. Wicked got an excellent response for me, as did Eve. And Blood Amber. So I just put in an order for all three

    Wicked

    I didn't expect to love this scent, but I do. The rose and jasmine and myrrh all combine equally on me, so one note doesn't dominate - they just create this gorgeous, incredibly sexy and sophisticated scent that isn't too overpowering, but is strong enough for me to feel like I smell great all day. Big bottle for sure! This will be my going out on the town scent, I think.

    Discussion of all things Amber

    For me, I can't go past Blood Amber when it comes to amber blends. I can't stop sniffing my wrist when I wear it and it makes me feel happy.

    Rakshasa

    This is all patchouli on me, with nay a rose in sight. Which is sad, because I love roses and am so-so on patchouli. So therefore I am so-so on this scent.

    Catherine

    This is very rosemary and rose on me - can't really smell the orange blossom. It is very sharp and strong, but also quite lovely. It is a bit overwhelming on me at the moment, but that's because I had an imp disaster and dropped half an imp all over my hands and my scarf! I would definitely put it on in smaller doses in the future

    The Raven

    Another one I thought I wouldn't like, but now love. In the bottle, it is all violet, but on the skin it dries down to a lovely, musky violet and sandalwood scent. It is kind of classic, but a bit haunting and mysterious at the same time. Definitely a keeper, and I may have to invest in a big bottle of this one.
  18. Scarlettfish

    Ave Maria Gratia Plena

    Another scent I never expected to like - it was a freebie, in fact - but it turns out I love it. It is perfect for me...floral, with a nice sandalwood and musk undertone. And I can smell hints of the Sicilian lemon peel (and that's nice, as a gal with a Sicilian background!). Definitely on my big bottle list...it's so nice it could be my signature scent.

    Horn of Plenty

    This is a scent I really, really wanted to like, but it just didn't like me at all. It was all cough syrup on me, and i found it quite sickly. A shame, because it got all these good reviews and I was looking forward to all the prosperity

    Eve

    I was very pleasantly surprised by this scent. I bought an imp largely because of the name, and wasn't expecting much. But this was delightful...all honey and roses for me. Maybe with just a hint of apple blossom that wafts up to my nose now and then. Lovely, and a big bottle purchase ETA: Gets lovelier and lovelier the more I wear it. And the apple blossom comes out a long stronger with age, too. A beautiful, sexy-yet-innocent scent.

    Brisingamen

    On initial application, it was all florals, and almost smelled like air freshener. However, my skin likes to amp up amber, so now it is all amber on me, with just the faintest hint of apple behind it. Nice, but not my favourite amber scent.
  22. Scarlettfish

    Blood Amber

    This was all amber on me, which suits me fine because my skin loves amber, apparently. It smells beautiful in the bottle, and even nicer on the skin. It is a very natural skin scent on me - it doesn't feel like I am wearing perfume, it's just that there is this gorgeous scent coming off me. Which is a nice feeling.
