  1. I never expected one of the blends to smell like a dept store perfume. It smells super good though! I can't pin point what it smells like though I KNOW I've smelled it before, or something very similar! Tommy Hilfiger? Not sure.

     

    Very clean and bright. I own nothing in that scent family. But I am keeping the imp for sure.

     

    Smells great!


  2. I don't get it. I can barely smell anything! Its so so so soft with no throw at all. On me anyway. Velvet did the same thing.

     

    I guess I expected it to be "spicer" like everyone has said. If I sniff REALLY hard it is pleasant and yummy though.

     

    Wonder if my imp was just unusual? lol Or perhaps because it is fresh from the lab?

     

     

     

    Update: Ok so I got a bottle (aged) I was wrong. Morocco is beautiful. Glad I took everyone's advice and gave it another chance.


  3. I have found my favorite scent ever.

     

    Mme Moriarty, Misfortune teller is everything I love in a scent! I smell more fruit in the bottle. A fruity snake oil. But not overly fruity or sweet. Just perfect. Snake oil was a scent that grew on me. I became addicted to it. But this is so much better than snake oil...

     

    On my skin the musk starts to come out. I'm not a huge "musk" fan, but the red musk is yummy. Perhaps I should try more scents with red musk! The fruit remains in the background. As more time passes a smoky, resinous vanilla remains. And that is a wonderful thing.

     

    I am so happy I got a bottle of this. I guess I should stock up on it. Its my heaven in a bottle :wub2:


  4. I am looking for something that smells similar to Kat Von D's SINNER perfume. I LOVE it. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated as I am new to Bpal!

     

    I also really enjoy Sinner. I'm not sure if any bpal scent really has the same feel for me, but you might try:

     

    *Eclipse (Bewitching Brews) - "A delicious blend of bitter almond, vanilla, frankincense and heliotrope, with a drop of cinnamon." Kinda has a similar dark, sweet, spiced vanilla quality.

    *Sin (Sin & Salvation) - "Thouroughly corrupted: amber, sandalwood, black patchouli and cinnamon." If you liked the spicy-earthy-sweet aspects of Sinner, this is like the cinnamon and patchouli amped up.

    *Mme Moriarty (not currently available, but I'd definitely recommend picking up a bottle of this when the Carnaval collection is back up and running) - "Red musk, vanilla bean, pomegranate, patchouli leaf and wild plum."

     

    The vanilla really stands out a lot for me in Sinner. If you like the vanilla-y qualities, look into these blends:

    *The Antikythera Mechanism (Steamworks) - "Teakwood, oak, black vanilla, and tobacco."

    *Black Opal (Bewitching Brews) - "A play of geological darkness and jagged brilliance. Soft and luminescent with flashes of black fire."

    *Dorian (Sin & Salvation) - "A Victorian fougere with three pale musks and dark, sugared vanilla tea."

    *Hunger (Ars Amatoria) - "Black narcissus, orange blossoms, and vanilla."

    *Lyonesse (Wanderlust) - "Golden vanilla and gilded musk, stargazer lily, white sandalwood, grey amber, elemi, orris root, ambergris and sea moss."

    You're awesome! I have some of those imps on the way :D I am really wanting some of the Mme Moriarty! I'm going to be adding these to my wishlist.

  6. Revised:

     

    Initially I didn't care for Velvet. But I recently received an imp from a forum member and I love it. I doubt its something I'd wear out but its definitely something I'd wear on lazy days when I need something comforting. I can also see wearing this before bed.


  7. This was the first oil I ordered and was shocked at how beautiful this scent is. The description is dead on. I never thought the tea note would be something I would want to wear. I was wrong. Its very wearable. I love Dorian and it will forever be one of my favorites.


  8. In the bottle all I got was patchouli and was so disappointed. But after giving it a shot I found it morphed beautifully into a much lighter, brighter scent with the patchouli just lingering in the background. I LOVE this blend and I am so happy I gave it a second chance!
