This was a pretty green/pink floral. It was pungent at first, but dried down to a VERY soft scent. A little too light for me, but nice for a hot humid day. Nice aquatic floral that is reminescent of Kitsune-Tskui, at least on me. I did not get a powdery drydown at all, just a very faint version of the oil first applied.

I second what Andrabelle said. It's hard to wait for something when you know how talented Beth is and how unique her creations are. Being addicted doesn't make matters any better. We love you Beth and Co! Sorry if we drive you crazy. Hopefully you'll be able to quit your day job soon. I know I'm certainly doing my part to contribute to BPAL and the economy for that matter!

Definitely Venom.............very reminiscent of Poison.

I say yes to fixatives!

I'm trying really hard to be patient. I want to email to find out where my package is so bad, but I don't want to add to their stress. I'm waiting for orders placed 5/18 and 5/28 and no shipping notification yet. Patience is a virtue and one I need to work on . Poor Beth & Brian! I bet they really miss Nella!

Endymoin, Persephone and Phantasm are all great for humid weather. Also, not on your list, but perfect are: Tears, Jester & Swank (if you like fruity), Tempest, Danube, Szepponay (spelling), but my 2 all time fav's are" Lightning & Hurricaine...........I love them in the humidity and rain and what could be more perfect for a name. They are absolutely lovely with my body chemistry!! Let us know what you decide on. ETA: I'm a fellow Libra.......I think Libra is a bit heavy (believe it or not) for humidity, but Venus is gorgeous in the warm weather. You must try Venus, my fellow Libran Venusian Goddess!!! You will probably like Endymoin and Tears, as well, as Beth recommended those for me from my astrological rec's.

Though it seems as if I'm in the minority here, I buy all of my oils for wearing and not for ritual/magick work. I realize some of them are probably good for that, but I like wearing unique scents, so if I like it, I wear it. I'm pretty lucky with body chemistry. I got both Blue Moon and Lugnasadh, so if I don't happen to love them, I figure I can swap them. As far as the notes in Blue Moon, I thought it sounded unique, but yummy. The bay and juniper might only be very light. I love orchid and galbanum on me and I think the poppy, wood aloes, moonflower and buttercup sound lovely. I also LOVE orris.........orris rocks!! Beth is the master of blending and I'm sure I'll be able to wear this!!! The power of positive thinking. I wonder if Beth did just make them for magick/ritual work though? I have been wearing all of the Tarot Oils and Celestials and like most of them. ETA: I absolutely love Luna and The Moon (Tarot).....so that's why I ordered a 10 of blue moon, although it sounds nothing like either of those.

I was anxiously awaiting the Blue Moon scent so the fact that it went live at 12:00 am and there were 3 other scents to buy, made me very pleased. I bought a 10 ml of the Blue Moon and 5 mls of La Bella Donna Mia Ment, Lughnasdh, Intrigue. I wanted to get Tiger Lily, but ran out of money Wouldn't it be really GREAT if Beth posted all of the Lunar scents at midnght? I love being able to get mine before I leave for work. I can't possibly concentrate at work wondering if I'm going to be able to get my oil when I get home. Priorities!!!!

I like Water of Notre Dame and I just got Van Van, but haven't tried it yet. I'm going thru a Voodoo blend and Tarot blend binge. So far, I'm finding most of the Tarot oils are very light and herbaly. I think I'll wear Wolf's Heart tomorrow...........as the shit at work just keeps getting deeper and deeper!!! Ugh....is the end in sight soon? Come on Venus........let's get over our retrograde period! Our tastes aren't all that different. I like a wide variety of scents. True, I don't like a note in High John and I couldn't get past the vetiver in Anathema, but I like Jester a lot. There's only a handful of Beth's scent that I don't love. By the way, got my Lightning (swap) today!! Love this one! Thanks

Lorajc, did you notice we were actually born on the same day! Nella No Shit!!! Born on the same day!! I didn't know that. It must be my Virgo rising that makes me such a freak-ass detail oriented pain in the ass then, cuz you're Aquarius rising. I was born at 4:00 am............what time were you born? WELL NELLA!!!!! Have a GREAT VACATION.............GET LOTS OF REST and have fun with your family. We will miss you. I'm sure Beth & Co. will also.

I have not officially worn this yet, I just tested it. I will revise this post after I wear it. Let me just say if you love Dana Oshee, you'll be in ecstasy with this one. It has staying power and is lovey golden almond/spiciness. Beth -- I'll be needed a VAT of this one!!! I already have 2, 5 mls on order. This is one I never want to be without. It's addicting in that Lush Skinny Dip sort of way. Makes you feel so yummy you just want to bathe in it and then roll around in it!!

How could I forget Water of Notre Dame???? Definitely agree!!!

I've found most of the Tarot oils I've tried to be very light. Specifically, The World, the High Priestess, The Fool and The Lovers. Those are the ones that I've worn, but generally, the all smell substantially lighter to me than other oils by Beth. Also, I found Tushatanmay (spelling) Wanda and Kali to be light scents out of the new ones. As far as clean scents, I agree with Tears, Hurricaine and I would say Baobhan Sith and Kumiho are both lovely scents that lean towards clean. I also think Szeponsnay (spelling??) would be clean. Danube also. As far as diluting, I think that is most definitey an option. I tend to like them full strength, but I know many people dilute.

I second Harlot (one of my favs) and Lucy's Kiss is beautiful. I wold also give the Tarot The Empress a go. It is probably the most clear on the rose you can go next to a single note.

Hi Nella, Thanks for all of your help. I try to be as detailed as possible with my info. Please let me know if there is something I should do differenetly. I hope all of us crazed BPAL Madness peeps aren't driving you too crazy!!! Thanks again for everything.

This scent was mostly rose on me with the sweetness/greeness of the frangipani. I barely could smell the jasmine. This was a bit overpowering when first applied, but it dried down to a softer smell. It was okay. I'm not big on rose, only certain rose blends. This was just okay for me. I'll have to try it again before I decide for sure.

These sound really INTRIGUING. I'll be going mad to get home and order on those days. Blue Moon perfume............spectacular!!! Oh no, I don't think I have enough money saved for all of these future updates. I' gonna have to get a second job!! I hope you move goes smoothly today, Beth!

I thought this scent was going to be extremely light, so I saved it for warmer weather. I was surprised when this ended up being pretty powerful and longlasting. It was mostly, ylang ylang and rose on me with the sandalwood grounding it. I've only worn this once and it was the kind of day that I was like.....hmmm I think I like this........hmm I'm not sure if I like this all day long. I'll have to try it a few more times. I think I shoudn't have worn it the day after I tried Venus, as Venus blew me away. I am a Libra.

I bought this for a summertime scent. I tend to like my florals a little bold and this one is gorgeous. I like Lotus and Jasmine, but I wasn't sure how they'd blend together. I love the way this wafts from my body. The last 2 days, I wore scents that clung to me (I hate that). I have had this on for a few hours and it is a bluish/green lotus cloud of goodness. It sort of reminds me of candied perfume clouds. It is sweet, but the lotus keeps the watery tone to it..........so I guess it would be candied liquid clouds of goodness. I barely detect the lime. I did smell it when I first put it on though. This will definitely be a summertime favorite.

This is one of my favorites. It is liked smoky, sugared vanilla goodness with that bit of frutiness that dragon's blood lends to any scent. This is very smooth and longlasting without being too strong. It is a very comforting scent. I'll have to remember that since I'm usually spazzing.

I ordered this cuz of all of the great reviews and a couple peeps that have similar tastes as me loved it. I wore this and it is one of the few scents I was not crazy about. I generally do not type a review for something I didn't like (I don't have the heart to -- go figure), but I thought I would start doing some of them. I really think I don't like red musk or a combination of something in here. I swapped it away after wearing it once. After reading Twisty's statement above, perhaps I should have given it a second chance. Oh well.

Those are a few that I ordered that I think will end up being my fav's from the description. You're a Libra/Sagittarian Moon girl after my own heart. I guess I'll have to pay attention whenever you update us on your fav's in case it's one that slipped by me (but I doubt I've let that happen). Thanks for putting up with us crazed BPAL junkies. You have been very helpful since you came on board. I hope we're not driving you too crazy!!

What browser are you using? Some don't delete the cache when you close it, it might need you to go empty it manually... Will you please explain exactly what I need to do. I am not very Internet literate. I have rebooted several times and nothing. I came to work and logged on real quick and I see the update, but I NEED to see this from home, as I'm not really allowed to be on the computer from work. Someone please help me. I'm going crazy. I tried closing all of my windows and doing a search on the internet and pulling the website up that way and it still is not current.

Okay, I'm freakin' out. The Site Update is not appearing on my computer. It still says updated May 16. What's up?

I usually place orders every week (or even every few days) or so (lately) and instead of getting a few grouped, the more I place, the longer I have to wait cuz it seems like they end up shipping them all together and I have to wait the wait time from the last one I placed. I have been kind of excessive lately, so I don't know what the normal process is.
