Let me preface this review with a few disclaimers. I am a huge rose fan. I also prefer my scents to have a small amount of throw (I do not want my perfume to announce me, as it were ) With that said, I really enjoy Two, Five, and Seven. Wet: Very sweet rose. I was worried at this point, because I don't enjoy overly sweet smells. Dry: The sweetness has calmed down quite a bit and the rose comes more to the forefront. I've seen mentions of Turkish Delight in previous reviews, and I concur. Verdict: It's a lovely scent, but I'm not sure how often I'll actually reach for this one. But I will let it age before sending it off to the swaps.

Oh my god Diva Urd, those sound amazing and are going straight onto my list! Thank you so much!

This is such a fun thread! I'm brand new to BPAL and placed my first order this morning, but I'll be splitting another order of imps with my sister here in the next week, so I'd love to hear recommendations from you guys I just graduated summa cum laude from university with degrees in psychology and biology and this fall I'll be applying to graduate programs in neuroscience. I am a HUGE bookworm and read everything I can get my hands on. I'm Native American (Choctaw on my father's side) and French (from my mother). I'm ambitious, extremely Type A, and can be rather competitive when it comes to work/school. My personal motto is "go big or go home" and I apply that to every aspect of my life. I spend most of my day acting like an extrovert when really I'm an introvert at heart. I keep most people at arm's length, but those that I do let in I keep for life I can be obsessive (hence the graduate degree!) and I'm working on bringing more balance into my life. I typically love rose, lilac, jasmine, magnolia, and violet scents, so I'd love to hear favorites in these categories (particularly in magnolia and violet as my first order only included two scents with these notes), but I'd also really love to hear recommendations from other categories as well! Thanks so much!
