In the bottle: Getting a lot of everything. Mostly fig with a spicy/resin-y background On my skin this is quite mellow. Most the fig but the other notes keep it from getting too sweet. As opposed to another fig scent, Eden, I like this one *much* better because it's not so foody.

In the bottle: Everything sort of hits me at once except the coconut and vanilla which I did not smell AT ALL through this whole experience. Since I'm not a foody person this is not a bad thing for me. Dry: Grassy Floral. Mostly I'm smelling the rose here but it's not overpowering at all. The grassy smell must be the sage. Overall i like this one. It feels to me more like a springtime scent.

Thunder-charged ozone, plum-colored incense smoke, opium tar, and wormwood. This is one of my favorite CDs scents! Ozone notes love me and this one is no exception. It's very sharp in the bottle and on my skin. However when it dries the smoke, tar, and wormwood peak though and mellow it out. You'd think it would be very smokey and stinky but it's not. It definitely conjures up the images it describes and I'd recommend anyone who likes ozone notes to give it a go.

Not much to say except once again... Love! It's exactly what the description says: sugared violet. Although I wish it was a little less sugar and more violet. Still it is a very lovely scent that compliments her sister, Hope, very nicely. I love wearing them together.

I love this!! It's exactly what the description says: sugared rose. Although I wish it was a little less sugar and more rose. Still it is a very lovely scent that compliments her sister, Faith, very nicely. I love wearing them together.

First thing I smelled in the bottle was the Patchouli. Which does not bode well for me. XP However once on the skin the peach and honey really come out. I can still smell the patchouli but it takes a backseat and doesn't give me the BO smell like it usually does. Overall I like but I don't think it works all that well on me. It's almost a little too sweet.

Wow! This is a good one! The Cedar and amber is more prevalent in the bottle whereas the vanilla musk and sandalwood comes out once it has dried on my skin. It's very smooth and warm and fortunately not an overly sweet foody scent.

For some odd reason on first sniff out of the bottle this smells like.... mint tea? O_o I think it might be the Hyssop, vanilla tea and maybe the lilac playing tricks on me. Initally on me, this is a very flora scent that has a sharpness to it. After sitting on my skin for a few hours I am *barely* starting to smell the coconut but it still has a sharp floral quality to it. Overall I like. One of these days I'll have to give myself the full lather and get more powerful experience.

In the bottle I get a very carmel-y cream scent. On the skin... more of the same. I was a little disappointed that this didn't turn out so complex on me. I was hoping for less foody and for more of the florals to come out. It is however, a very nice scent and something I'd definitely recommend for foody loving people.

For some odd reason this smells like apple in both the bottle and on me O_o It's quite lovely though. When it dries it's sweet, mild, and has a nice dry down of flowers and musk.

I love this!!! In the bottle it smells like honey-ed black tea with lemon and mint. Once it dries on my the mint pretty much vanished and the orange blossom comes through. It ends up smelling like a beautiful black floral tea with honey and an a very light touch of lemon. I will be buying a back-up bottle of this!

In the bottle this is quite strong, however on me the scent mellows out to a wonderfully smooth insence-y and almost sweet scent. It makes me feel very sexy. Wonderful.

First Sniff: A bright grassy scent with a hint of citrus. I wouldn't call it sweet but not a sharp grassy scent either? On me: A wonderful light, grassy floral. Not overwhelming but the throw on this is great.

First Impressions: The patchouli is coming out with a vengeance. The ylang-ylang and vetivert are coming through a little and giving it a very woodsy smell. Very bitter and kind of resiny. Not my thing at all. I am extremely hesitant but I've had bad turn into good before. After:This smells exactly like B.O. on me. I cannot smell the Blood Orange at all. I need to go wash it off. I've never said this about a BPAL scent before but I will be throwing away my imp.

First Impressions: Spices with undertone of something almost refreshing/sharp. On me: More of the same with a sweetness starting to emerge. Dry:It seriously smells like a pumpkin pie mix on me. Sweet, spicy with a touch of ginger. I'm not a foody person but I found this to be yummy and quite nice.

In the bottle: Definitely smelling the grapefruit and a little bit of the currents. A very fresh, clean fruity scent. Fresh on me: Smelling more of the red musk and florals now. Still smelling the grapefruit. Lovely and fresh. Final Impressions: It's mellowed out in such a way that I can't really distinguish the individual notes anymore Bright, fruity, fresh, and floral all at the same time. For some odd reason its taken on a slight creaminess to it. Overall it's a very lovely scent that I would like to own more of.

First Impressions: omgwtfbbq SWEET. Mostly smelling the cake but there is a sharpness to it which I'm assuming is the currents. Once I put it on the cake and the currants balanced out. I like the fact that I can actually smell the currents rather than it being OMGCAKE. The currents smell lends a refreshment to the scent and is not fake smelling. Overall: This is definitely not a complex scent but it is nice. I like that the black currents are balanced with the cake. I'm not a foody person so I don't see myself buying a bottle. However if you love cake or sweet scents this is definitely for you.

First impression: Very very strong, musky, and very resiny. Didn't get much spice. Kinda smelled like overly strong incense and grandma perfume. However the scent transformed into something much nicer when I put it on. Everything evened out and somehow took on a more of a "refreshing" quality. When I inhale deeply I can picture myself back in Sevilla Spain walking through one of the open air markets that was largely Moroccan merchants selling incense and various middle eastern wares. Overall: This is going to be one of those scents that I will definitely wear if the mood strikes me. Not the type of scent I normally go for, or something I'd wear on a day-to-day basis, but it's still a very beautiful, complex, and well done scent that will find its way into my collection.

On first whiff I was not too enthusiastic about this one because the coconut, honey, and almond were almost overwhelming and made this too sweet for me. However I am very glad I gave it a try. Right after putting it on I got this brief and wonderful whiff of the green fig leaves but that quickly faded. Still smelling the coconut and almond way too much and it was still very sweet. Now that it has dried however, the scent has achieved this wonderful, not-too-sweet balance of fig, coconut, almond, and just the barest hint of sandalwood. Overall, very nice but I don't know if I'll be ordering a bottle.

Right out of the bottle it was "WHOA FLORAL!" Was definitely smelling the rose the most. However I am a floral girl so this was not a problem. I could not smell the milk or honey at all which was a little dissapointing. The bergamont and carnation had taken a back seat but were there. Immediately after putting it on it was still mostly rose and still no honey or milk. However as the scent dried and was warmed it blossomed into this wonderful lightly sweet floral symphony (my favorite kind!). I could smell the honey now and the carnation and bergamont were more predominate. Milk was still very understated and could really only smell it if I took a big whiff. An absolutely beautiful scent. I will DEFINITELY be ordering a bottle of this one.
