I was really surprised to read other reviews of this scent, as I can't smell anything masculine about it. Granted, it's not a super girly-girly scent, but it makes me feel very feminine when I wear it. It has really great staying power on me, and it's perfect for warmer weather or when I want something that just feels fresh. I also made up a shower gel in this scent, and it's heaven. It's all green moss and white flowers...one of my absolute favorites.

My skin just does the oddest things with some fruit notes...on me, this is my beloved O, but it has the smell of rotting grapes on top. It can't just be the fig, as I can wear it well in Dragon's Heart. ?? Bleah, bleah. Grrr.

On someone else, this would be a commanding, beautiful, womanly blend of lush and spicy florals. Gorgeous. On me, it instantly turns into "smell of Grandma." Damn.

A little Lab birdie did tell me that there was no cinnamon in it. As to what IS actually in it, I've no clue.

This one is definitely brilliant in its complexity...after all, how often do you smell an incensey foody/floral scent? It's also the one BPAL with chocolate that works for me. (Which, as I'm a huge chocoholic, is pretty funny.) My boyfriend LOVES it, also. Then again, he clearly has good taste. This scent is best applied after using Villainess Soaps' Gingersnapped Smooch and soap in combination...the combination is to die for. (Hee!)

This may well be my favorite BPAL. The likeness to Dragon's Bone is definitely there, but the woods add a resonance and depth to it that's rich, sophisticated, and unbelievably gorgeous. The rose comes out as just a hint for me, but it's a full-blown rose that adds the perfect touch of feminity. I cannot even tell you how much I love this scent.

I love this scent...it's my standby for the "hey, I'm feelin' kinda girly" moment. It's fresh and light on me, without being overpoweringly rose. Rose and honey are definitely in the forefront, with a strong background component of apple. Also, for some reason, this has fantastic staying power on me, which seems odd for such a light scent.

I'm excited to see that others are thinking about this...I'm perfuming to match my costume. I'll be going as Poison Ivy. I'm working some roses into the ensemble to match my mask, so I'll be highly scented in Blood Rose. I'm hoping that the final effect will be sexy as hell, and that the boy I'm interested in won't be able to resist at least one kiss...

Oooh. I'd have to vote for Eve, Old Morocco, Maiden, The Caterpillar, Old Sybaris, and Dragon's Heart.
