  1. I had wanted to try Love's philosophy for a long time before I finally managed to buy a bottle here on the forum. At first sniff, I got really scared. Sour. Milk. Blargh.

     

    But once applied, it turned into a yummy creamy spicy vanilla. I find it sensual and sweet and I adore it!


  2. I can just agree with everyone. This is a very rich and very realistic chocolate. Unlike Velvet that goes a little "plasticy" on me, this is just sweet and lovely all the way. Thing is, I'm not sure I want to smell like a cup of hot chocolate hehe but if you do, this is definitely for you!


  3. I think The Ghost Children is a beautiful scent.

     

    It reminds me a little bit of Ode on Melancholy? I guess that could make sense.. Something about both scents feels "gothic". Not sure what note it is that makes it this way for me.

     

    Smells like sad flowers and something else. Lovely!


  4. I was very curious about this one, lemongrass was something new to me.

     

    At first this is very lemongrass on me, with something else that I think is the anis. To/on me this is a bit "sharp" the first hour, the lemongrass smelling very strong and "authentic".

     

    Later, the lemongrass becomes less dominant, and it becomes sweeter and more creamy. I think I can now smell the vanilla and faint coconut. I really like it at this stage, but now it is not very strong.

     

    Lemongrass was not for me I think, but it is an interesting blend and I'm glad I tried it.


  5. Vanilla is my favorite scent in the world. I am still searching for the perfect one!

     

    I don't like foody vanilla. I'm looking for a smoky, sexy, resinous vanilla. I adore the dry down of snake oil, but there is something at the early stages that I don't love so much. Its a metallic smelling note. It could be due to my skin chemistry.

     

    So I am still searching! Any recommendations would be so helpful :D

     

    My new favorite scent, Raven Moon, has "smoky vanilla". Did anyone recommend it yet? lol, as you might understand I ADORE it.


  6. I've been wanting to do this for a while! I'm curious to see what you all will come up with for me. :D

     

    I'm a nearly 22 year old classic goth. My entire closet is a wall of black. My styles vary within though. I alternate from gothabilly to Victorian influenced goth and a more hard edged grunge goth. As long as its macabre though, I'm all over it. My home looks like a headshop, and most of the time smells like it too. My fiancé and I have a fabulous collection of taxidermy, bones, masks and artifacts from around the world and tons of candles everywhere. I practice paganism, though I'm not very strict with ritual. I identify with it and have adapted many aspects into my life. I find it calming.

     

     

    I don't know if we are all allowed to suggest scents? :) I just saw your post and it caught my eye. Waves from Norway. I also have a closet that is a wall of black :) anyway, this is just my opinion:

     

    I think Raven Moon is very goth to me! I just got a decant and adore it. I would also suggest Black Lace! One of my faves, and I think maybe you'd like it. Another one that I'm thinking for you is Blood Countess.

     

    Edit to say: Ahh, I see you like Black lace hehe. Well, I stand by the other two :)


  7. 2012 version

     

    To me, this is Snow White when she was younger. White skin with pink cheeks :) I do also invision very sweet and light fluffy and pink cotton candy. I don't find it to be so much "winter" as I do Snow White. Actually it is more likely I will wear this on summer evenings, when I want something really light and romantic, for a walk on the beach in a summer dress. But that's me. I prefer the darker scents, but will enjoy this half bottle I got for sure.


  8. This is my favorite dress:

    Unfortunately I haven't used it yet...Hopefully there is a hot date in my near future! What scent would you wear with this?

     

    Eesshh that's one sexy dress. Vixen springs to mind, for obvious reasons. I have never tried it personally but Bordello also seems like it would be a good choice- nothing to do with brothels! The scent description just makes me think of the colour purple + sex. Smoky, sweet scents would be quite befitting as well I think- Perversion & Liz are both gorgeous and sexy.

     

    And, of course, Black Lace. I think that would work wonderfully.

     

    (As a last resort re: hot date, just wear it out anyway- guaranteed you'll clinch one!).

     

     

    Definitely great suggestions! Black Lace would be amazing. :wub2:

     

    (Sara Pezzini is another scent in the smoky sweet category that would be amazing)

     

    Beautiful dress :)

     

    Thank you!!

     

    Ooooo - now I really, really wish I could get Black Lace!! But this is a LE scent isn't it? I guess I can get Bordello!


  9. Hello everyone.

     

    I am a total newbie here *waves*

     

    My name is Birgitte and I am a BPAL-addict! Now to my question, I've just made my third order, and I'm getting a 5 ml bottle for the very first time (yay).

     

    It is from "The Salon" collection (artworks) and I was wondering - are there any pics of what the bottles in this series look like?? I am soo curious.

     

    If I made a mistake in posting this here, I do apologize.
