    Dragon's Milk

    I liked this from first sniff. It smells delicious...my favorite vanilla scent ever. It smells warm, spicy and sweet but not cloying and the scent lasted all day. It drys down to a soft vanilla which was very cozy feeling. I want a big bottle of this.

    Drink Me

    Wet--vanilla cake batter, butterscotch and pineapple. Skin--caramel popcorn. fake vanilla/hazelnut coffee creamer. Dry--still smelling like popcorn. I had high hopes it would smell interesting. I had to "temper" this a little with Grand Guignol (another frimp I received with Drink Me from the Lab). It was too buttery/vanilla cake sweet on me, I almost threw up. I'm going to wash this off. Where's a barf emoticon?

    The Antikythera Mechanism

    This scent is THE BOMB. It smelled like root beer in the bottle last night, and I wondered why I ordered it. I put it on this morning and I was in love. It smells like root beer and Tang, which is the EXACT smell that Thierry Mugler Angel for Men had. I used to wear that cologne and I'm thrilled I found it at BPAL. I'm so in love. I wanted to eat myself and it lasted all day. Someone walked into my office and said I smelled like incense, which I think is fantastic. Very beautiful and interesting scent.

    Bastet

    Got this as a frimp from the Lab and it's first on my list for a big bottle. I found the Holy Grail amber scent. I never smelled saffron before and I decided I love it. This is a sexy, warm, feline scent. My black cat loved it too. I kept having to smell myself.

    Blood Pearl

    Eh. I wanted this to smell more coconutty. It's not a bad scent, there is something mass market perfumey about it (the orris?) but maybe it's musk and/or coconut that makes it more interesting. I might give this another try later. Sometimes my nose hates a scent but loves it another day.

    Ulalume

    I got this as a freebie and initially I didn't like the smell in the imp. I came here to read the description and notes and decided it wasn't something I'd like at all. I tried it again a few days later and found a strange attraction to it. It smelled woody with a hint of something mossy but altogether it was feminine and sparkly. It's a very comforting scent. I decided I liked to wear this after showering when I've had a emotionally/mentally tough day. I'm waiting for a big bottle of it as I type, but I will be saving it for the colder months.

    Lady Una

    Honey musk, green tea leaf, blackberry leaf, vanilla bean, and fae spices. This scent makes me want to lay on a blanket on the grass and watch the clouds on a sunny day. I love honey scents, and this sparkles with the addition of the blackberry and "fae spices". It reminds me of YSL In Love Again which always smelled like blackberry + grapefruit. Lady Una is blended so well and smells beautiful on my skin. The only negative is that it doesn't have all-day staying power.

    Bengal

    A sultry and unruly blend that emulates the ambient scent of the markets in ancient Bengal: skin musk with honey, peppers, clove, cinnamon bark and ginger. I got this as an imp when I purchased .5 ml bottles of Blood Kiss and Lady Una. I liked it more than anything that came in the box. It smells like a thieves oil recipe I made last year to fend off flu/colds. It's spicy with cloves/cinnamon notes, mellowed out with the sweetness of honey, which I truly love. I love putting this on after a shower and just lying in bed, reading or listening to music. I've gotten a lot of compliments on this perfume at work--from men too. It works well with my chemistry so I bought a whole bottle. Definitely my #1 scent. ETA 8/19/10: The cinnamon irritates my skin now. And it gets plasticky on the dry down. I'm so sad about this.

    O

    I'm new (hi) and I'm not a pro at describing scents as eloquently as most of you but I'll throw in my two cents in my own way. I bought a full bottle of this after reading the reviews because I love the smell of honey. It definitely has that honey smell right out of the bottle but on my skin, I noticed the "skin smell" everyone is talking about...and I narrowed it down. (brace yourselves) It smells like armpit!! Clean armpit but it's the same smell. It really makes me think of sex right out of the shower. I can't stop sniffing my wrist, this juice is delicious and addictive. It's a sweet/clean/kinda dirty/sexy scent.
