    Voodoo Queen

    Oh so lovely. I see what all the fuss is about. Wet it is incense in the kitchen cupboard. It doesn't morph much for me but stays a sweet, spicy, incense blend.

    Milk Chocolate Buttercream

    Previous poster said it's better than Candy Butcher. She's right.

    What BPAL scents could represent a mermaid?

    Maybe Undertow? Description says.... The Dark Side of Water: clean and purifying, yet menacing — lotus and juniper with a hint of mint. A scent dragged up from the depths to the Stygian shore.

    Ice Princess Bath Oil

    Cannot believe I have not reviewed this already...maybe I was too busy smelling myself. I use my oils in the bath and sometimes for post bath moisturizing. This is a wonderful sweet, icy peach with honey and cream. Cool and lovely. I think Balame nails it above by saying, "it's very refreshing but indulgent." Perfect description. I get no florals at all from this either.

    Lush to BPAL scent comparisons (BNever included too)

    Amazonian was heavenly.... It's not a clone but the GC blend Desire has a very similar feel on me. Would be super easy to track down an imp too!

    Sell me on patchouli?

    Desire (bittersweet neroli, black patchouli and black musk, gilded by apple, bergamot, blood red rose, teak, and vanilla) is a lovely GC blend with very well behaved patchouli. Sweet, floral, and incensey.

    Lush to BPAL scent comparisons (BNever included too)

    My mother-in-law just gave me some Honey Trap lip balm and the scent is heavenly. There is no scent description for lip balms but it contains honey, shea, white chocolate, vanilla, almond, and sweet orange oils. Anyone have any suggestions for a BPAL clone? ETA for spelling derp

    A Wonderful Light

    Just got this today and slathered the second it settled down for a few hours. It was everything I hoped it would be. In the bottle I get a warm amber with a hint of orange and an almost waxy scent. After application the amber and orange really glow and the waxiness fades and becomes a tad powdery. After about 15 minutes I have to agree with a previous post that this is a holiday version of O. Divine!!

    Apples?? Finding the right apple scent

    Seconding Rapunzel in Ballpoint, it's lovely!! Also, in the General Catalog is Delirium, which is apples, lemons, and roses. It's very light and crisp and you can pick up an imp very easily.

    Shiny Furball Hair Gloss

    This is my favorite HG so far. On me Shiny Furball is this lovely sweet vanilla tinged cedar that has a 'fresh" element to it. I was worried some of the notes would make this too sharp, medicinal, or "green." But no, it is divine and so smooth on me. Sweet, mellow, and woodsy.

    Sudsy She-Wolf Bath Oil

    This is so delicious and decadent and every kind of right. I get mostly a chocolatey, hazelnut coffee scent with a hint of pine. Divine.

    BPAL and pregnancy

    You can also use scent lockets if you are concerned. Just dab your favorite oil onto some felt or muslin cloth and put it into the locket.

    BPAL and pregnancy

    Congrats Gory!!! I used the following as a guideline for my oil usage during my two pregnancies. It has a nice list of what you can and cannot use. http://www.babycentre.co.uk/x536449/is-it-safe-to-use-essential-oils-while-im-pregnant I am a foody/boozy scent lover and slathered away during both my pregnancies as most of those blends do not have any oils from the no-no list. ETA: I cannot remember what I did during breast feeding time. I was usually so tired I would forget to use any scents!

    If your top 5 scents are... Then try these!

    Have you tried Third Charm,The Arrival at the Sabbath and Homage to the Devil, or Red Lantern? Your faves seem to be complex with a hint of sweetness. Those might be worth at look. Or maybe Butterscotch Balls and Black Beetles?

    Need some help! Maple? With floral?

    That is a toughie! Many people get maple and florals from Al-Azif. Maybe give that one a try? Perhaps layer with Uncle traveling Matt, which is super figgy.

    Autumn Scents - recommend the ones you love

    Throw me in with the Creepy lovers. It is awesome!! Also, I would say Black Pumpkin Floss, it's sweet, maple, pumpkin! ETA: Punkie night! Apples and cider and cranberries!

    Against Idleness and Mischief (kinda like Door but heavier on the honey), Beaver Moon I 2013 (you have some creamy faves and this is delish)

    Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

    I found a similar vibe in Lemon Scented Sticky Bat. I like both a lot, but LSSB is lighter that Delight and Consternation.
  20. Centzon Totochtin is pretty un-nerving. I love the scent itself: sweet, bloody, and boozy. But I sure as hell don't wear it to bed. It makes for disturbing dreams.

    Josie

    Oh this stuff is divine. It's everything I love in a scent! The description of being "heady" is quite true. It's got throw like whoa. Not a 'light' or "sheer" type of smell. It's smack you upside the head stuff. It's very well balanced on me. I can easily pick out the notes of honey, magnolia, and peach. The honey and peach together give it an almost boozy aspect and the magnolia keeps it from smelling like candy. Sooooo goooood.

    Lightning Storm Hair Gloss

    I get a lot of lime and yuzu with only a touch of ginger. But Holy Moses is it good. I love citrus scents and this one is so well blended. So nice in the hot sticky summertime.

    Snow Angel Atmosphere Spray

    One of my favorite atmos so far! Very, very well balanced. Sugar, lemon, peach, and a light hint of florals. The tea isn't too present to me. Fresh and girly. Going to be awesome in hot weather!!

    Boo Bath Oil

    Lovely and true to the perfume oil. After bathing with the bath oil I feel like I get a much longer and stronger wear than with the perfume oil. Delish.

    Orange Blossom and Neroli Recs

    What I especially like is that it doesn't have any of that rough edge that some of the other white florals (hello, jasmine!) can get. it's always so lovely and creamy. Exactly!!
