    Empyreal Mist

    oh Lordy,Lordy,Lordy.... how does Beth do it this is another fantabulous soft floral scent...very clean smelling..a touch of green tea perhaps works amazingly well with my chemistry...so b-e-a-u-teeeeful.....perhaps my fav floral/clean scent that the lab has created (and that i have had the pleasure of reviewing) to date...... p.s. positively amazing lasting power to boot!!!

    Cheshire Cat

    holy cows!! i LOVE cheshire cat!! but why oh why does this have to be a discontinued scent..... this is positively so alluring, so beautiful.....my knee smells like heaven on earth upon application it is soft grapefruity citrus....with a hint of green....a touch of white floral.....maybe even lilac.. i tell you i can't quite put my finger on what they all are but a total winning combo if i ever smelled one!!!!! if cheshire cat ever goes returns from the discontinued graveyard, you better believe i will buy a 10 ml of this baby....... **hint**hint** to beth

    Egg Nog

    such a dissappointment....i so expected a wholehearted "hood egg nog" scent from this but it turned out to be so insanely faint..... i barely get a touch of nutmeg and rum..... disappears all too quickly..... HOWEVER, i decided to do a dab of gluttony and eggnog as a combo scent, if you will, and OMFG...i will be the belle of the ball when the cooler months set in....i have no idea what happened but everything is so well blended....the gluttony turns out much more mellow than if worn alone..... i am a genius!! 'cept now i need a big ol' bottle o' gluttony to mix with my eggnog... hey.....things could be worse i'll be keeping eggnog and experimenting more with her

    Incantation

    upon application....brings me back to the 80's when my dad used to wear polo in the green bottle by ralph lauren.....warm and woodsy and positively divine..... i positively adore how some scents can take you back to a certain time frame and bring back such awesome memories to me, this is a traditional dude scent so off to my dear boyfriend it goes....cannot wait to be smelling it on him.......

    Roadhouse

    omg,omg,omg i can smell everything with the exception of the dandy-lions...... booziness, hemp, teeny bit o' tobacco ..... this is definitely one of the labs blends that you must try on skin and not just go by the way it smells in the vial....so important with lovely, lovely Roadhouse!!!!! don't miss this one...fantastic and unique......Beth is a miracle worker!!! *note to self*...add to "big bottle list"

    Elegba

    initial application is rum and coconut...in that order...... then the coconut which hates my chemistry ends up turning this beautiful blend into an absolute burnt and rubbery scent.... bums me so badly that all the labs coconut scents turn rank with my chemistry....

    Red Devil

    upon application this blend is orangey and spicy with a little something else going on.... sadly this one does not have much lasting power and turns sort of soury leaving all the orange/spice goodness behind *sigh* i detect a floral of some sort as well so this might be why it turns that way....

    Gluttony

    i was able to score a decanted impy of this lovely, lovely scent!!! omFG.....initially it is buttery, sweet, cinnamony, graham crackery all swirled together in one positively mouth watering concoction after a bit it dries down to a slightly smokier version with some mocha thrown in.... this is very, very strong and works with my chemistry oh so well....and wanna know how i know??? dear boyfriend came home and pounced on me and whispered....you smell so f*cking good i can't control myself.....i needn't say anything more.....

    Ouija

    ooooh.....quite decadent and so different!!! all the notes shine through loud and clear with my chemistry...woohoo rosewood, oak and teak notes with wispy blue lilac, tea rose, dried white rose and ethereal osmanthus....wow....fantastically unique blend that will have everyone ask what you are wearing and this one lasts a good long time on me too! yay!! *scampers off to add this to my "big bottle list"* thanks Beth

    Venice

    very soapy and florally with my chemistry...a touch of citrus pops out after awhile... hmmmmmm.....too many florals for me.....sweet florals, i should say just turns into a mish mash of i am not sure what with my chemistry....sadly is not working.....eeeyuck i so wanted to love venice too...boo

    Cerberus

    orange and citronella upon application....perhaps something piney going on there.... turns more lemony after some time.... and that is it....a big old lemon is what i smell like with this one....does not last long either.......

    Mata Hari

    i get flowery coffee i am so not sure if i like this the jasmine is really coming through now and completely taking over any other scent that might have been in the mixture..... most def not for me.....

    Bayou

    very florally and green on me....slightly swampy but in a very interesting way almost like a hot and humid summer evening around a body of water.... quite unique and lovely with my chemistry...will continue sampling my frimp to see if this is a "big bottle" order

    Salomé

    A scent that is both coquettish and sinister. Exotic and lush, brimming with grace and viciousness: almond with star jasmine, oakmoss, red sandalwood and Egyptian musk. whoa!! the jasmine in this s-t-r-o-n-g on me....not terrible if you dig jasmine but i am not quite sure i also tend to get a bit of ylang-ylang or is that jus the intense jasmine in this blend.... i *wish* i could get the almond that some of the bpal folk have mentioned in their reveiws but i got nada, zippo, zilch for almond in this one..... most definitely not a scent for sookster.....

    White Rabbit

    i get the milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen but strangely enuff no black tea whatsoever in this scent.... this is a very, very sweet perfume....quite lovely .... i adore how the white pepper and linen make an extremely pronounced appearance.... i was actually quite hesitant on keeping this scent but i truly think i need to give her a few more chances before throwing the towel in..... normally i don't dig such sweet perfumes but this is astonishingly different yay lab....keep it up!!

    Black Phoenix

    ghadzhooks....OMG hands down the most divine scent ever!!!! in this particular order.......i get almond, cinnamon, dragon's blood, a floral hint or some sort of booziness...like a drunken black cherry perhaps..... positively astounding and amazing and worthy of a big honkin bottle for my next purchase

    The Unicorn

    jumpin jee-ho-seh-fat!! yummy berry/floral/minty goodness....lusciously, light and sweet and a perfect summertime blend for uber hot days....lasting power is sadly "zippo" for me.... darn,darn,darn i'd probably love the unicorn a whole lot more if she lasted longer *sigh*
  18. sookster

    Dracul

    positively astounding!!!!! all these scents come through on me loud and clear...black musk, tobacco, fir, balsam of peru, cumin, bitter clove, crushed mint, and orange blossom.... OMG, this is definitely a big bottle purchase for me and dear boyfriend....while this truly smells like more of a traditional dude scent, it works ultra fantastic with my chemistry as well....i'd love to smell this on me in the dead of winter....gotta be killer

    Venom

    woweeeeeeeeeee!! heady florals upon application.....this is a complex blend to my shnoz and seems to warm up nicely with my chemistry oddly enuff, i get not one single, solitary whiff of lime not even a smidge...all floral....i do dig it though...can't stop sniffing my arm....love how this one warms up on me......another great smelling perfume courtesy of the lab

    March Hare

    oh march hare, how do i love thee?? let me count the ways!! this blend is phenomenal!! upon application, all i get is thick, heady apricot and butter but with all the lab's blends, timing is of the essence....after about 1/2 hour this turns into the most lavish, heavenly concoction not like a pastry or cookie....maybe slightly cakey....and now the clove peeps her pretty face through.........positively dee-lish and my flavorite scent from Mad Tea Party......

    Skuld

    smells what i would imagine the color purple to smell like... and no, not lilac or grape or anything like that...just "purple"..... itz not changing so much.....perhaps warming up ever so gently.... uhhhhhhhmmmm.... i dunno... a tad more florally now but something "not quite right" with my chemistry...... ... it somehow reminds me of those toidy cakes they place in public restrooms..... so sorry lab.....my chemistry just runs amuck with this one.....boo/hiss/boo/hiss
  22. sookster

    Serpent's Kiss

    hmmmmmm....wow.... cinnamon....earthy and dirty after warming up the cinnamon turns into a delightfully sweet blend...almost cinnamon and almond cookies....*drool*...... seems my chemistry agrees with all of the lab's cinnamon scents which is a.o.k. by me as i love the way it turns out... will i get a big bottle??? a definite maybe.....*slurp*

    Dana O'Shee

    sweet almond, cooked oatmeal, honey....mmmm....smells awesome upon application wears quickly...my skin gobbles up the scent...eeeek!! now i am left with a somewhat playdough type scent....salty in a way...*ack* (the way some peeps explain the POTL scent turning playdough-y on them) Lord knows how I wanted to love Dana O'shee after all the positive raving about her :icon_eek: she is just not for me......wah!!!!!!

    Binah

    ok yum.... woodsy, florally, super clean scent.....oh how it reminds me of something i so wore as a teen but i cannot quite put my finger on just what it is grrrrrrrr... in any case if you are looking for a scent with all of the above, puuuhlllleeeeeeeeze....give Binah a whirl..... Amazing.....Beth has "got" to have some sort of crystal ball that she contacts the "perfume fairies" with to come up with some of her creative and astounding blends......OMG......

    Sacred Whore of Babylon

    ultra sweet, dusky, musky, slightly smoky .... tad flowery...teeny tiny bit o' cinnamon cream of wheat.... WOW....I have never quite smelled anything so phenomenal...... i'd dig this in the cooler months for sure, so i will try the imp again at that time....
