Poisoned Apple is awesome!

I was really excited to try this! Unfortunately I couldn't smell anything, in the vial, wet or dry on my skin. Nothing. I guess it off to swaps!

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.

 

 

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

In imp and first wet, this smells like a cleaning solution on me. Much less herbal and citrus than I expected.

Unfortunately, drydown didn't offer much more joy. Carpet cleaner on me. Yucky! Up for swapperoos.

 

 

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
