BlueStar

Perversion is awesome! I love the blending of leather, chrdonnay, rum and tobacco. Bottle: Oh yeah this is gonna be good. Sweet and severe and decadent. Wet on Skin: Reminds me of the song "Black Leather" and as it starts to dry the other notes get stronger and emerge into what can only be described as a "perversion" of chemistry. Drydown: Mmmm this is just delicious I could smell this for hours especially if it were during some naughty love-making. Matter of fact just the smell of this stuff in drydown makes me want to engage in hours of naughty love-making. Verdict: Buy it! Wear it to the club. Wear it to bed.

In the Bottle: Not sure what this smells like. A Musty church? Well I guess that is intended. Wet on Skin: OK better now, hmm smells like Magus without the cedar and sandalwood notes. Frankincense maybe? Drydown: Mmm nice drydown improves the meshing of notes. It does what it suppsed to do smells like a church. Growing up Catholic, even though I don't practice anymore, this is a very calming soothing scent. Brings back good memories of when my family actually got along. Verdict: I like it. Hell I love it!

You should be OK. Put them in your cosmetics bag? Someone was saying they got BPAL through Spain's and England's customs OK, or was it France and England. At any rate it shouldn't be a problem. Anyone else with a more emphatic answer? I just realized I lack the courage of my conviction on the subject since I haven't flown anywhere since before 9/11 but for totally unrelated reasons.

This is one of my favories. When I smelled it it was just perfectly Leigh. In the Bottle: Mmmm musky plum! This has definite possibilities. Wet on Skin: Mmmm musky carnation. This is jazzy and sultry. I imagine Nina Simone wrearing this. At first I can't get the plum like in the bottle. Drydown: Ok plumy, musky, carnationy & tantalizing, exquisitely feminine, deliciousness. This one makes me go all gaga. I like it on myself from time to time but I love it on Leigh. I will dab a bit on my hand for smelling during the day to remind me of Leigh. When she wears it though it is like Love Potion #9. Whatever I am doing loses all meaning and urgency. Must... sniff... must do naughty things... Verdict: If you like carnations and Arabian musk you will love this. This stuff is down right dangerously tantric. Guys get this for your ladies, ladies get it for yourselves or your ladies. Must have for any sexually liberated female.

Muse is very summery but a bit too floral for me. Very nice for a woman but just not "tough" enough. In the Bottle: LIME is that Jasmine? Hmmm lime juice? I wonder if this would work on Carne Asada? Wet on Skin: Orange blossoms? Limey flowery decadence. Wow ok too floral. Dry down: This melts away and softens nicel into a great potpurii scent. Might make a great lotion scent or room freshener. Verdict: Strong airy flowery and sweet. A very nice scent. If you like Jasmine and Lime this one is a definite beautiful fusion of the two.

Carnal is a great scent but not really my thing. In The Bottle: FIG! Wow that's a lot of fig. I thought this was supposed to have mandarin orangey stuffs in it. Let's try it on. Wet on Skin: OK now it is orangey but that orange smells cleanserish like Simple Orange. Drydown: Not getting much better but I get fig now at least. "Oh bring us some figgy pudding" on second thought no. Verdict: Too figgy and female for me.

This bad daddy is distinctely male. The lab's description is dead on with this one. In the Bottle: Minty sandalwood and orangey moss. This smells exotic. Wet on Skin: Musky mossy horny little ditty. Warms up nice and comes through as a swirling dervish of male sensuality. Dry down: Wow I thought 18th Century gentlemen were kind of foppy. This is definitely manly and rugged. Despite the jasmine it still smells very male on me. I miss most of the notes once it warms up and dries. I definitely get the moss, ambergris, jasmine, geranium but they are muted and part and parcel to the whole effect which is totally balls out sexy.

Gimp from the lab. Bottle: Ewww too much rose for me. Wet on skin: Not getting better damned treacherous skin chemistry. Drydown: My chemistry hates roses, none of the BPAL rose scents work on my traitorous skin. Verdict: Not the finest scent ever at least not on me. Might work extremely well on someone else.

Mmmm Snake Oil This smells so so on me. Funny chemistry. I will write the following about how it smells on the wifeypoo. In The Bottle: Vanilla skies wide open. There is something just positively divine about this stuff Wet On Skin: Wow who knew Vanilla Extract could smell so good? Well at least it is the expensive bourbony vanilla extract anyway. Drydown: OK here is where the spices come through in a very sly and husky sexuality. The sensual blend makes my mouth water when my lover wears it. Whatever spices those are, I can't really pick any out in particular, (almond maybe?) but the vanilla is definitely much tastier and natural smelling once it warms up. Verdict: To quote Bad Company "Feel Like Making Love"

I haven't worn this myself yet. I think it is more fittingly female but I will likely steal it a few times from Leigh before the bottle is done. In The Bottle: Yummy Nestle Chocolate Quik™ Wet on Skin: Ok there is something happening to my senses and to my pants. What is that? Oh my goodness who knew chocolate cake could be this dirty. I am ashamed to say I have always felt chocolate cake was sexy. The myrrh really starts coming through over time as it drys along with the sandalwood but they both lurk in the shadows of the scent very sinister. Drydown: Oh how well and how artfully thou hast bewitched my senses with Sandalwood and Myrrh and lured me here with your delicious cake. What games shall we play Mistress? Do you want me to wear the Waiter's apron again and you canbe the naughty baker? Verdict: This one is definitely a keeper. Made me chase Leigh around the house for another sniff as well as give me dirty thoughts as mentioned above.

To sum it all up neatly OMFG! This has immediately become my favorite man scent. I have said that before, I know, but I REALLY mean it this time. This is caged sexuality driven mad with passion and unleashed after centuries of restless fitful sleep. It is the reincarnation of the Merlin for Christ's sake. Speaking of Christ it is the second coming of that player too. In The Bottle: Mmmm woodsy goodness. Smells like saw dust in a manly wood shop. I imagined my Dad (Step Dad) when I smelled this because it immediately reminded me of the smell of cut wood. I remembered a specific time my Dad and I were working on this one really big property in Torrey Pines, CA and he was cutting trees and we got a long so well that day it immediately imprinted in my mind. Oh what great memories you have conjured of mighty Magus. Wet On Skin: Oh... my... Gods this is tasty. I hope it dries down well. The frankinscence gets amplified by my skin, body heat makes it tastier. Oh that is what Galangal smells like. Mmmm delicious. Isn't this luscious? Drydown: This settles it's chaotic turmoil as it melds into a powerful concoction. The infusion is absolutely perfect. It makes me feel like Jafar from Alladin after his second wish is granted "Most pwerful Sorcery in the world". I am the Merlin, I am Rasitlin Majere I am a God! If this scent ever gets discontinued my wrath will bathe the world in the blood of my despair. Rivers will run dry and crops will wither. I will lay my rage across every back til they are all broken. I will fill all people's lungs with the stench of decay and death. Maybe that's a little extreme, maybe a nasty letter would suffice or I'd at least shake a finger or something. Verdict: Must have!! Beth this needs to be the first scent bottled in 20 mL. Why stop there I would take a whole truck load of this stuff. Can you ship mea keg of it?

Skeptically I tried this. In The Bottle: Mmm Bay Rum and Clove! Could be tasty! Wet on Skin: Ahhh! It tingles a little must be a hot clovey goodness. The rum, almond and clove notes are strongest on the outset. This smells like a regular bay rum cologne. Dry Down: Maybe I was too hasty. This smells pretty darned good. I am getting almond, rum, sassafras, clove and another surprise, likely from my skin's reaction with the oils, tobacco? Verdict: A nice sweet, allbeit mature fragrance. Too grown up for me to wear often but still tasty

There is definitely a reason this is the most popular scent. I really love this on the wife because on her the sugar and vanilla smell edible and make my mouth water. The spiciness of the Indonesian oils makes it a warm decadent experience. Alas it works pretty well on me but I do not get the same "Wow"! on my skin as she gets. Wet in The Bottle: Hmmm Vanilla Syrupy spicy sexy, sexy, sexy. Can;t wait to try it on... Wet on MY Skin: Woooops why does thsi have to turn into International House Of Pancakes' Vanilla Syrup. You know you have tried it. Admit it. I used to work at "IHOP" and I think the constant mutation caused by syrup exposure has made my skin averse to any vanilla or sugar. Drydown: Get it off! Get it off!

Hmm I wonder if Dorian is edible? No it isn't, not really it tastes kind of yucky actually but boy does it smell good. Wet in The Bottle: Mmmm High Tea with the Aristocracy in London. Wet on my Skin: Ooooh Musky! Drydown: Oh man this smelled really good in the bottle now it is kind of benign but dig that sugary vanilla syrup smell. Mmm I want pancakes... Verdict Not good on my skin but smells pretty good on the wife.

Wet in The Bottle: I wonder if the "Ben and Jerry" people will be upset Beth is using 'Cherry Garcia' in her blends Wet on My Skin: Mmm Red Wine, Vanilla, Cherry and Vetiver. It's nike a party in my nose and everyone's invited. Drydown Hmmm pleasant surprise this dries down to a very sensual and "dirty" smell. I get the musk finally but it is very faint. The overriding scent is distinctly -- Vanilla/Cherry/Wine, Vetiver and Clove. The very first time I wore this it made me want to set out for some record breaking and serious marathon sex. The scent makes me almost breathlessly hungry to... well I can't say it better than... "it makes me wanna f**!" Verdict A must have in your sensual arsenal. Definite deal closer potential. I get the most puzzled stares on the "L" train when people try to 'find' where the scent is coming from and I get the sense their intentions aren't the purest when they find it. Thankfully no one has figured it out yet. "I think that fat ugly troll by the doors is wearing it we must all now rape him"

Oh God where do I start? Wet in The Bottle: "This is Aerosmith 'Pine', it's P.I.N.E. PINE!" Wet on My Skin: This starts to become a swirling miasma of Juniper, Vanilla, Amber and Pine in the blender on "Frapeé". Wooeee! Early Drying: Mmmm tasty! I am definitely getting how they call this "Traditionally Masculine" Oh wow I smell "like a big bucket of F**K all wrapped up in original skin". Damn the Juniper and White Pine come through but the Vanilla and Amber are still hanging about no Rosewood yet. Drydown: OK I thought this was good in early drydown but my body heat really makes it go abso-f**king-lutely orgasmic! WoO hOo! There is the Rosewood and the other notes kind of blend into a really shy kind of sexy that broods and sits at the end of the bar but when you see it. KaBOOM! Verdict "Golden Priapus get's you laid!" I can apply this even late night when my wife and I are both tired and magically we are both in the mood. Thank you Beth another masterpiece. This fragrance is the main reason I had my name changed to BlueStar from Dracul_Man. Golden Priapus has become the new favorite.

Gimp from the lab... In the imp: Very sweet floral with an almost grapey tinge, but more of a dry, white grape, not wet or "winey". I'm pretty sure I won't love this one. Wet: Nope, not loving this one. Very sweet and clean and the champagne note is lovely and blends well with the pear and floral. I am sure I would have liked this on a girl when I was a bit younger. A very youthful, girly fragrance. Dry: More of the same. Very well balanced scent. Nothing really amps up on me, but also not really anything I really love love love. Overall: I think I will be gifting this one to my mother, who likes sweet, fun scents like this. While it is lovely, I just can't see myself wearing it ever. Too floral and sweet for my taste.

I hoped so desperately that I would love this scent. My chemistry disappointed me again. Wet: Mmm tasty, spicy, musky, sexy, hot hot hot smoky deliciousness. I imagine a predator stalking it's prey through an old battle field laying in waste. Drydown: OK my body sucks! The Myrrh goes crazy and the musk starts to smell like urine. I wish it worked but it just doesn't. Ihate my skin!

I was skeptical at first thinking the name sounded very fem and would not smell at all masculine on me. I was wrong. Wet in the Bottle - Delicious like a big ol' rum ball. I wanted to drink it at first it was disturbingly delicious and sinister in it's seduction. (Note to self frangrance oils are friends not food). I get a notion, a slight one of the hazelnut and almond but this bad boy is all rum in the bottle. Wet on My Skin: - Ah the courship ritual begins. The buttercream as well as honey mead begin to peek playfully out from behind the rum note which is consistent throughout. I think of... a rum ball... mmmm rum ball.. *drool* Drydown: - (My favorite) This spicy meady delicious little rum ball has worked my senses over and settled into a soothing afterglow. I feel like smoking clove cigarettes, playing chess and waxing philosophical while wearing a black cashmere turtleneck. The spicy odorgasm that is Hellcat settles into my skin and takes hold. My skin amplifies (in a very naughty and nice way) the rum, almond, honey and hazelnut with a surprise clove smell which must come from my skin or something I can't figure out Beth's witchy ways. This is the second scent wth notes I pick up on my skin that are not listed. Must be my chemistry.... nah Beth is the sorceress of scentology. Final Verdict: - Next order! Next order! I love it, I love it!

In the bottle: Lemony snicket this smells limey! Wet on the skin: The Lilac trys desperately to creep out from under the bold aroma of the Lime and Citron and fails miserably all other notes are drowned out by this over poweringly citrusy orgasm of... well citrus. Drydown: Hazzah! Here it is... Lilac, White Musk there you are where have you been? My you smell lovely what are you wearing, is that L'eau D'Orange Vert? No? Oh silly me. Her eis where Whitechapel got me. The notes come through as it warms on your skin. The hotter your skin the better it smells. I wear this on hot days or when my Dracul breaks *sob* or when the imp of Dracul runs out *double sob*. I imagine in drydown this is what Captain Jack Sparrow would smell like as he commanded both the attention of the ladies and the ire of their escorts. I feel positively pirate in this wonderful blend. This one is genius!

Hang the cost I want a custom scent! I am sure my wife would love one too. What's cooler than that? If there is any possibility let me know. I would pay upward of $200 or more for initial and then need to set up a repeat or blanket order for restocking my supply. WAHHHH! I want a custom scent!

In the bottle: Strong fir, mint and tobacco smells, I conjure images of a coffee house from the 60's with Beatniks reading poetry, finger snapping and smoking clove and menthol cigarettes. Wet on the Skin: Oh hell yes! The fir definitely is the strongest scent here. Testosterone level rising! At this point I almost mistake this scent for Golden Pryapus. Very, very manly! Conjures images of Vlad Tepes winter hunting lodge. I can almost feel the bitter cold and see the endless expanse of the carpathians from the window. Drydown: (The best part) Here is where the notes all come through when it warms on your skin. Now I imagine I am Vlad Tepes riding hard across the Romanian countryside. This scent makes me feel larger than life and sexy. It puts me in the mood to take on a rough day at the office or to take my wife to bed! Muah ha ha™ It is a very versatile scent and I have received many compliments on this one. I jealously guard the secret of where to buy it though. Sorry BPAL but if I smell someone else wearing this there is likely to be an enormous "BF" complete with stomping, crying, screaming, fist pumping, whining, sighing, coughing, sniffling and bloodshed. I guess I treat Dracul like my favorite little black cocktail dress. It is what makes me feel sexiest and if some B*#CH shows up wearing it I will pull all her/his/it's hair out. LMAO. Final Verdict: *orgasm*
