Oh, am I first? Okay... I couldn't tell you what 'absinthe' smells like. Never smelled it in person. I remember a bright green imp from years ago, but it wasn't for me, and I haven't gotten a blend with one since. I love DL and this is DL with a green herbal note (surprise) that dries down to a lovely DL unisex cologne. So glad I was able to try this!

Dead Leaves, Blackcurrant, and Golden Champa
white_jenna63 replied to zankoku_zen's topic in Halloweenie
Huh, I wonder if I got an 'off' sample as well. I love DL and BC but it was very hard to pick out any of the notes once dry. They blended into a pleasant dry scent that was nice but not really outstanding. Certainly not a deep purple expensive perfume that sounds just like what I was hoping for. -
On me, this is very similar to Celeste. Definitely a golden vanilla scent.
-
This is absolutely gorgeous. Very herbal at the start and almost 14 hours later is still a lovely dry down of amber and musk.

CCLXIII (263) Previously reviewed on page 4, 12 years ago. A friend gave me half a decant, and here we are. It's a soft lemon that has nothing to do with cleansers. Maybe it is lemon grass? I can see something like amber in here to soften it up and almost make it a little powdery. Minimal throw.
-
Without looking at the notes, I got grape soda from the imp. Like the previous reviews mentioned, this is beautiful lush purple red smut.
-
This is *perfume*. Far too sophisticated for the jeans and t-shirt I tried it with. It's not a Red Musk scent and it is gorgeous. Definitely good throw.
-
Very similar to one of the past Peaches (black musk and North African spice), but with apricot instead.
-
I couldn't remember the notes of this one, and the first whiff...I thought something strong like jasmine? It *did* dry down to something nice and soft, but not worth it to get there. Shame.
-
Agreeing with the above that it's not the sweet snow note. This really is lovely; it becomes closer to Kumiho on dry down.
-
Pretty much what it says on the label.
-
Definitely white screechy musk on first application, with white flowers. On final drydrown, there is a sweet note.

Chocolate and Cocoa, in every combination possible
white_jenna63 replied to mand's topic in Recommendations
Thanks everybody! The other person on FB who got the same imp isn't getting Boomslang from it. I could see Candy Butcher, although it's been so long since I've tried it. Or maybe a 13.... -

I don't get coffee from this at all. On me it's a lovely unisex-veering towards masculine cologne that I'm not able to pick the notes out of. -
Chocolate and Cocoa, in every combination possible
white_jenna63 replied to mand's topic in Recommendations
I'm hoping this may be a place to find answers. I did the Goblin Grab Bag and my mystery imp is the most viscous brown oil I've ever seen, even after rolling. In the imp it's Bliss but on the skin it's a darker chocolate with a slight floral/powder note. Any ideas what it might be? -
Surprising hit of the Travelogue. Blackcurrant is one of my favorite notes. The white musk is never screeching, and I never got the cacao. It dries down to a soft white musk/blackcurrant with just a little bit of wood for grounding.
-
Ugh. This is stinky cat pee/jasmine when it's wet, and I don't know where it's coming from. The neroli? The oudh? There's apple over top of it for sure, and it's not as bad when it drys down, but I still washed it off within 10 minutes. After scrubbing, it's traces of leather and...dryer sheets. Disappointing, I had high hopes for this one based on the notes.

All Hallows Chaos: Dead Leaves
white_jenna63 replied to Upstart Crow's topic in Retail Exclusive Oils
I don't see this anywhere else, so here goes! I got #79. Starts out as almost a DL single note, from what I can tell from previous blends. It's got a sharper note when wet, but dries down to warm and smooth and fuzzy. I'm thinking musk and/or tobacco. A perfect fall scent! -
A perfume-y apple. Not as complicated or deep as some other BPAL apple scents. I can't even pick out the other notes. Will be rehoming.

The Curtain of the Temple was Torn in Two
white_jenna63 replied to zankoku_zen's topic in Limited Editions
I got the cassia and cinnamon on first whiff out of the imp. This actually made the crooks of my elbows break out. I had to scrub it off within five minutes of application. -
CCCXX=320 Two previous reviews can be found earlier, mentioning coconut and a tropical feel, a scent that would be at home in the Tiki Lounge. Nine years later, and this is rose. That's about it. *Maybe* a little sweetness from coconut, but nothing that I could pick up and identify before reading the reviews.
-
CCXLI (241) Previous reviews can be found on pages 6, 11, 12, and 14. A friend gifted me with a TON of old imps, and this is one of them. So, nine years later, we've still got a sweet cake batter smell. Maybe a touch of dry cocoa, but nothing I could have named without the previous reviews. I can also smell the Fruit Loops/dry fruit smell that was mentioned earlier. A touch of powder at this point. Nothing I'll be keeping.

Dead Leaves, Black Pepper, and Sandalwood
white_jenna63 replied to agirlnamedfury's topic in Halloweenie
Not the same dead leaf note as DL and Tobacco, DL, Vanilla, Myrrh, and Sonnet d'Automne note; it's not nearly as sharp. The whole blend is almost floral. I don't care for sandalwood by itself, but I got the tester pack for the DL scents. Husband seems to like it okay. -
This is the same dl note that's in Sonnet d'Automne. It's very sharp at first, and seems almost to be a single note. I had originally set this aside for my husband; while I like the dl note, I can get it in a softer form from SdA, but the tobacco finally came out after about an hour and quieted things down nicely. I'm keeping it for now, but it still might go to him at some point, like...
-
Oh my yes. Same dead leaf note as Dead Leaves and Tobacco and Sonnet d'Automne, but the vanilla and myrrh are present right away. A lovely soft scent with staying power; I was still getting whiffs of it this morning from yesterday. I may have to consider getting a big bottle of this.
