    The Carpathian Mountains

    Cold scents and pine usually smell pretty fantastic on me, so I was excited to try this one. It smelled great in the imp. Piney with just a hint of flowers and sweet coolness. Unfortunately, when I put it on my skin, all I get is mint toothpaste. Sometimes, you have to wait a few minutes for the scent to calm down when it's on. Nope, an hour later and it's still nothing but pure toothpaste. Too bad. I only wish the gorgeous smell in the imp would continue on my skin.

    Mouse's Long and Sad Tale

    Gorgeous! Gorgeous! GORGEOUS!! I've been wanting to try this scent ever since it came out, and lucky for me the lab included it as a frimp in my latest order. This oil is almost pure vanilla with just a hint of amber and something floral in the background. I cannot stop sniffing my wrist. Beautiful.

    Jacob's Ladder

    From the moment I first got a whiff of this in the bottle, it has been my absolute favorite BPAL scent. It's a very sexy yet ladylike amber scent, and it has this really rich perfumey fragrance to it as well. I can't quite place what it is that makes this so unique, but I love love love it.

    Dragon's Milk

    So far, every dragon's blood blend I have tried turns to cinnamon and cough syrup the moment I put it on, but I recieved an imp of this and decided to give it a try anyway. I'm so glad I did because this is now one of my absolute favorites. At first it smells overwhelmingly of sweet cherries, but after about 5-10 minutes the vanilla starts to come out. It smells like cherry milk at first, but the vanilla really softens the cherry scent as it dries. Just lovely. Sweet cherries dipped in vanilla. I would definitely recommend this scent to anyone that's apprehensive about trying dragon's blood.

    O

    The scent of sexual obsession, slavery to sensual pleasure, and the undercurrent of innocence defiled utterly. Amber and honey with a touch of vanilla. In the imp, this smelled a lot like Honey Moon to me. However, once I put it on it became a bit softer, and I could smell the amber starting to come out. As it dried, the amber continued to gain strength while the honey sweetened. Very nice scent overall.

    Snake Oil

    This is really really sweet on me. Strong vanilla and sugar. I put the tiniest dab on the inside of my wrist, and I asked my boyfriend to smell it. He said it was like walking past a bakery or sweet pastry shop. I like it, but you really don't have to use much in order to get the full effect.

    Zombi

    Yep! Wet dirt and dried roses with a slight perfumy background. When I first put it on, it made me a little naseous, but as it dried I began to really like it. Zombi is definitely not something I could wear everyday, but it's difinitely worth trying every once in a while.

    Antique Lace

    I get mostly vanilla from this, which I think is very nice, but my boyfriend says it makes him naseous. So it may be too sweet for some people. Anyway, I think this is a very pretty scent, and it's something that can definitely be worn every day.

    Empyreal Mist

    This is very nice. I can't quite describe it, but it's a very wet, slightly woodsy scent.

    Pink Phoenix

    When I first opened the bottle, this just reached out and slapped me in the face with its sweetness, and I was sore afraid. However, once I got up the nerve to try it, it mellowed into a pure vanilla scent with just a hint of sweetness. I like it, but I'm not sure I want to sit through the bright pinkness of the wet stage in order to enjoy the drydrown.

    Dana O'Shee

    I normally love honey and milk scents, and they love me. Unfortunately, this one just smells like a burnt out birthday candle. Kind of sweet, but mostly just smoldering, melted wax.

    Queen

    In the imp, this is strong, peppery, yet sweet. I really don't like the smell of this one, but I put a little on anyway. Wow, this is one strong scent. I have no clue what's in this, but to me it smells like pure pepper, and it seems to only get stronger once it's on my skin. Definitely swapping this one.

    The Ghost

    I'm not a huge fan of straight floral scents, so I wasn't expecting to like this when I first opened the imp. It smelled very soapy and strongly floral. However, after about ten minutes on my skin it softened into a light sweet floral that's actually pretty wearable. It's faded down a lot since I first applied it, but it reminds me of spring, which is nice right now in the middle of winter.

    The Caterpillar

    I was a little afraid to try this at first, but it is suprisingly nice and soft. I can smell some incense and what I'm assuming must be flowers (I'm really bad at picking out individual notes.) Everything meshes together so well.

    Athens

    Wine notes tend to go very strong and sour on me, and Athens is no exception. In fact, that's all I can smell in this blend.
