I think my skin is broken Everyone else gets mint and me? I get straight up Patchoulli SN. It's a little disconserting!!
-
Oooh, this is nice!! Smells like Jailbait when first sniffed, but it settles into soft, sugared citrus which I love.
-
Patchouli. Full stop. No matter how much I put on, or how long I leave it, this never changes into anything but straight up patchouli. So sad because I ADORE the other notes in this!!

ARJKFJKD. The only thing I get from this is Lemon Pledge. Dammit. The same thing happened with Dorian There was a brief, fleeting moment when I could smell lovely sugared tea, but then...Lemons again. My body just LOVES to amp lemon, in absolute exclusion of anything else in the blend. Boo.

A cerebral scent, dry, and white. This is a perfume of thought, not heart, and of unforeseen pain and sudden obsession, touched with uncertain twilight and ambiguous horror. Stargazer lily, white musk, clear aloe, blonde amber and winding-cloth linen. Arg. ARG. Why do I always fall for the LEs???? Berenice = divinity. It's the only scent that actually makes my boyfriend's eyes roll back in his head. On two separate occasions, he's buried his nose in my neck and said "What *is* that?". The only one he likes to the same amount would be Pink Moon (another bloody LE!). Even my mom likes Berenice, and my mom wrinkles her nose at anything that isn't pure lavender. Berenice just gives me the shivers. It's such an evocative perfume. It's high tea with a twist. It has claws, but they're hidden. I know this isn't the most helpful review, but it's all I can do to not type something like: "JEORUIJFISDKJFSDKLJF". Because Berenice reduces me to a place beyond literacy.

Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

OOoh. Just reporting back. I have an (unhealthy) obsession with Al-Araaf and I wanted to find a GC that smelt similar. I tried Tiger Lily yesterday. When it's wet, they're really nothing alike. Tiger Lily is sharper and colder to me. However...on the drydown, they smell close enough to make me happy! Al-Araaf is still my one true love, but now I have a passable GC equivilant. -

Does anything in the General Catalogue resemble Al-Araaf?? -

Grar. I keep falling for LE scents! I love both Pink Phoenix and Pink Moon (I think the Moon is a little softer on me, which is nice). Are there any catalogue oils that resemble these LEs? -
Urg. This goes directly to hell on me In the imp it smelt sharp and *dark*. A very brown scent. I smelt no tea or sugar or anything nice. On my skin, it just deepend and sharpened. I had to wash it off
-
Lemons. And then more lemons. And,as it dried down? MORE LEMONS. Grr arg. I got none of the lavender or mint or thyme or ANYTHING except lemon. Boo

The Great Sword of War cleaved my heart in twain It seriously went all to hell on my skin. I think the 'herbs of conflict' staged an all out battle with my skin chemistry. The result was a putrid mixture of all spice, musk and amber. Grah. And it lasted forever. I really wanted this one to love me, but it didn't.

I'm over the moon for both Snow White and Spooky. Are there any catalogue scents that resemble these two? I'm currently hording my imps and fearing the day I'll run out.. It will be nice if there's some kind of GC backup! -
Hee! I ordered Red Lantern and Hesperides is on my wishlist! So I'm off to a good start.
-
haha. That's one of the 3 Valentine's scents I've ordered
