    Yew Berry Infused Honey

    Definitely evergreen in the bottle. Wet on skin: Evergreen and spices. Dry on skin: Warms up with some honey but still spicy. It smells a little bit like spice carnations to me. Verdict: I really like and will wear it a couple of more times before I decide on a bottle or not. I bet this scent will age really well.

    Jerusalem Cherry Infused Honey

    In bottle: Super green and sharp! Wet on skin: Ahhh, freshly picked green tomatoes and still very sharp. Dry on skin: It's softened a bit and smells like clover and tomatoes. An interesting scent but I don't know if I can go through the green sharp stage every time I wear it.

    Paduan Killer Swarm

    This is very, very pretty. I thought this was what O would smell like. In bottle: Smells a bit greenish. Wet on skin: Spicy for me.....cinnamon and clove. Dry on skin: Now the coconut comes out and it's not quite so spicy anymore. The licorice comes out in a little bit as well. I love it. It's very warm and sexy without being too sweet.

    Anesthesia

    When I opened the decant and first sniffed I immediately thought of Altoids. Which I love. Wet on skin: Peppermint with maybe a little citrus or lemon or lemon balm? Dry on skin: And.....it's gone. Disappears after about five minutes on me which is too bad because I was really liking it!

    Ogun

    I was frimped one of these from a sale. Wet in bottle: Green and a bit melony. We on skin: I can definitely smell the melon and juniper. Dry on skin: Melon and juniper are what I can smell and I'm not sure that it's a combination I like. Verdtic: I'm afraid this one is off to swaps.

    Clémence

    I received an imp of the from a decant circle. In Bottle: Spicy and yummy. Warm. Wet On Skin: Yum, spicy patchouli, pepper and clove. Dry On Skin: It has settled a bit but still strong and spicy. Lots of throw, this one. I love it and will be purchasing a bottle. I like to layer this with Pink Mood.

    The Harp of Cnoc I'Chosgair

    I was frimped this from a decant circle. In the bottle: Meh. Honey? Sandalwood? Wet on skin: Meh. Dry on skin: Meh. Didn't love it, didn't hate it....perfectly nice scent but didn't stir me either way. On a side note, I tested this and then went out to do some yard work and the bees wouldn't leave me alone....they loved it!

    Eat Me

    So I bought a bottle of this, unsniffed. Unfortunately when the package arrived the bottle was broken! It was my very first BPAL order. Boo! Fortunately I could tell I loved it and kept the box around to huff it occasionally while I waited for my replacement bottle. In bottle: Cake, sweet delicious cake. Wet on skin: Cake and vanilla and a little berry maybe? Dry on skin: Cake and perfume...in the best way possible. Like if you went to a super fancy bakery and they made cake with frosting made out of fresh flowers. Bottle worthy for sure!

    Goblin

    Frimp from the lab. In Bottle: Very, VERY woodsy. Like a camp fire. Wet On Skin: Smoky, patchouli. Like hippies sitting around a camp fire. Dry on skin: Now it smells like a camp fire made of pencil shavings. Verdict: Not for me. I can smell the vanilla and maybe the coconut but it's just dirty patchouli for me. I might use this as a room spray but not on my skin.

    Envy

    YES! This smells just like carpet cleaner on me as well.

    Pink Mood

    I was gifted an imp of this. In bottle: Yum....black jelly beans! Wet on skin: Black jelly beans and vanilla. Dry on skin: This has softened into a really amazingly beautiful scent. Anise, vanilla, and something soft and yummy. It made me feel so frisky that I bought two bottles of it. The hubs is pleased.

    Alecto

    In bottle: Fresh and green! Like herbs drying out to use. Wet on skin: Fresh greenery. Maybe some cedar? Dry on skin: Ew. I once had a stray cat that came in a pee'd in my fireplace. That's what it now smells like. Cat urine and smoke. I'm going to have to wash this one off. Verdict: Not for me....off to swaps!

    Laudanum

    The essence of the most debauched hunger encapsulated into a perfume. Desire beyond love, anguish beyond sanity. Nutmeg, sassafras, black poppy and myrrh. This was a frimp from the lab. In bottle: Sassafras! I love sassafras so I eagerly slopped some on. Wet on skin: Sassafras and slightly medicinal. Dry on skin: Hmmm...something has happened. Something nefarious. It now smells very medicinal, like a dentists office. And clove cigarette. Like someone is smoking a clove in the dentists office. It's made me feel tense and anxious (the smell of a dentists office always makes me feel like that.) At the same time, I feel slightly woozy and high. Ugh. This is just not working for me. Verdict: Not for me so it's off to swaps.

    Dorian

    I had a really hard time picking out individual notes in Dorian. What I do know is that I love it! It had great staying power, too. I applied it at 6am and it was still going strong when I got home from work at 4pm. And I work at a dog kennel so I really put it to the test! This is definitely bottle worth and will be purchasing a bottle soon!

    The Knave of Hearts

    In imp: Rosey and buttery. Wet on skin: Buttery cake and a little bit of rose. Dry on skin: very pretty, the rose is soft and normally I don't like roses. The buttery cake is still there but it's settled down quite a bit. Verdict: Bottle worthy! Not like Eat Me at all. Eat Me is more floral and foody but Knave Of Hearts is definitely roses and foody.

    Ouija

    In the bottle: I'm not sure what it smells like. Something slightly medicinal? Wet on skin: OMG it smell exactly like Necco Wafers! I love Necco Wafers. Dry on skin: Necco Wafers and roses. Verdict: I like it!

    Down the Rabbit Hole Atmosphere Spray

    OMG, I love this stuff! It smells earthy, fresh and slightly floral but not too much. Super refreshing and bright! I'm purchasing two more bottles soon.

    Poisoned Apple

    I bought a full bottle of this, untested. I just had a feeling... In the bottle: Green apples! Yummy green apples that you'd make a pie out of. Wet on skin: Apples and something lurking behind the apples...dark and mysterious. Dry on skin: It's softened and become very feminine and yet very noir. It's ridiculous how much I love this scent. It immediately became my signature scent and I'll be purchasing a back up bottle soon. I wear it to yoga and it sets just the right mood for me.

    Creepy

    In bottle: Spicy apples! Wet on skin: Caramel apples and hot buttered rum. Yum! Dry on skin: Settled into hot buttered rum, and it's delicious! Verdict: If it was still available, I'd buy it.

    Saturnalia

    This was a frimp. In the bottle: Musky, warm and masculine. Wet on skin: Holy crap! It smells smoky and medicinal. Like burned medicine. Dry on skin: It smells exactly what I imagine Nightcrawlers' "BAMF" would smell like. Smoky, burning....brimstone? Verdict: Not for me at all. As much as I really like Nightcrawler, I don't want to smell like him when he's BAMF-ing in between dimensions.

    Bien Loin D'Ici

    In bottle: Warm, spicy and something.....maybe a really soft mint? Wet on skin: Head shop. Dry on skin: Totally smell like a clean hippie. Verdict: Once this dries down a bit it settles into the honey, musk and amber that I was expecting. Not sure if I'll keep it though. The scent totally reminds me of every head shop I've ever been to.

    Oya

    This was a frimp from a sale. In the bottle: Herbal, green and plum? Wet on skin: I'm getting a little lemon, some fruity floral and wood. Dry on skin: It smells like a cherry wood box that has had incense stored in it. Verdict: Not for me. It would smell really good on a boy and I think I'm going to use it as a room freshener.
  23. RhinestoneHousewife

    Ode on Melancholy

    In bottle: Floral and green Wet on skin: Super strong floral, maybe the wisteria? Definitely a bit soapy. Dry on skin: The soapiness is gone leaving rose and wisteria. Sweet and musty is right. Verdict: A little too traditional floral of a scent for me. Would make a great room freshener.
  24. RhinestoneHousewife

    Lilium Inter Spinas

    I got this as a frimp from a sale: In the bottle: A slightly green floral. Wet on skin: Overpowering floral with a cheap incense-y/soap smell. Dry on skin: Straight up soap. And it lasts *forever* and gave me a slight headache. Verdict: Definitely not for me. Off to swaps!

    Iambe

    This was a frimp from the Lab In bottle: Gardenia! And is that a hint of watermelon? Wet on skin: *very* heavy floral. Gardenia, Plumeria, Rose and Patchouli. Dry on skin: Hmmmm, it's turned a little powdery. Verdict: I really, really thought I was going to like this as I liked it in the bottle and while it was wet. So I'm going to let it sit for a bit and try it again in a couple of months.
