I got this in a swap. This is one that I am not sure on. In the bottle to me..it smelled like cherry cough drops. My nose can't really pick out anything else in the bottle.

But I have to try it. Even If I can't stand it in the bottle I have to at least wear it once. It went on berry minus the cough drops, t hank the gods. Then after a few minutes it went berry musky. It is actually kind of nice. This is one that will ride the fence a bit.

I'll have to wear it a bit more to see if it is a keeper. I don't love it, but it is a really interesting scent. Kind of twisted. guess that is why it worked in the Noir set. It is like evil berry musk. 3/5 simply because I don't think I "get it"

I wasn't going to buy this one. Florals and I don't get a long to much. But This is just beautiful. This is how I wish Roses smelled on me.

It is soft and rich floral scent. The throw on me is not that far...but that is alright. It is for me anyway. When I first put it on it all floral with an underlying sweetness. That might be the plum. Then as it dries down it goes soft and just a tad musky. I wish I would have known how wonderful this is, because I would have gotten another bottle and worn it all Spring.

This might be my spring scent. I would give this lunacy a 5/5.

first off I love the label. The Garden labels are so pretty.

In the bottle: very whispy rose. I don't know what moon flowers smell like. Maybe that is w hat is giving the rose such a whispy quality.

On me wet: Rose pretty light rose at that and a bit of soap.

Dry: Still a very light rose with a bit more of soap. My skin does that to roses. It's a nice soapy smell. Like rose soap. It is clean and fresh, but don't know If i am going to keep it.

I might try it a few more times and see. But for me...a 3/5.

This is one of the imps I got that was on my wishlist.

In the imp- this had such a clean fresh scent...It did have an evergreen floral kind of smell to it. I loved it.

Wet: Smells a bit like witchhazel...the kind you get with some wintergreen added. Oh my god. I can't stop sneezing. And my wrists are actually turning pink!!

Yes I have had my first bpal alergic reaction. I had to go wash it off before my wrists got any redder.

But before the fit..it smelled so good. Maybe not how I would expect Dublin to smell...but the scent brought to mind a crisp breezy over cast day. (My favorite kind of days) I could only imagine how wonderful those kind of days are in Dublin.

Smut, teh Smut how I wish I could have love you the way you wanted to be loved.

In the bottle I could smell sugar and the boozy notes...smelled like some sugary drink you would have in a speak easy.

On me wet....smelled pretty good really. Smelled just like the bottle..but with a dirt note. Don't know if it actually had a dirt note , but that is what i got.

Dry down- burnt sugar. Burnt sugar with a really really good throw. I felt like my entire house smelt like burnt sugar.

While I loved teh smut in the bottle on me not so much. Tried a bit as a room scent and it was pretty yummy. All in all..i loved teh smut...but just not on me. Curse you skin chemeistry....you keep me from the smut!

Oh I LIKE this one. I got Caramel cookies from my first sniff. I feel bad I get such a homey vibe from a scent based on Asian Red Light district.

I don't get any coconut. But I do get the carmel cookies with a wonderful dark undertone. It is spicy on my skin after a dry down. I can still smell the carmel but it takes on a sort of dirty smell to me...

And the throw..is amazing...my husband can smell this scent all the way on the other side of the room. I used it in my oil burner and it makes a great house scent too.

Love this one!!

I am on a review roll tonight...So I think I will review this one too. I got it in a swap and I am so lucky I did.

This is mulled spice heaven. I don't really get any woods out of this one either. I get such a heavenly smell out of this.

I know it is called Samhain it just screams Fall and October. I can't tell you all the notes to to me it smells like a wonderful Fall party with all the wonderful goodies you get.

The neat thing is that is smells exactly like it does in the bottle, on me. There is almost no change in the spicey scent.

I even put a dropper full in my oil burner and wow!!! I am so hoarding this until tihs fall not only will I smell yummy...but my house will too.

I remembered reading the thread where this all started and laughing my ass off. It was one of the funniest highjacks I have ever read. So when Beth did the forum scent....I had to have it.

I knew it might not work for me, ambergis and some musks are not my friend.

In the bottle: oh yummy. I could smell the ambergis and musks. It is so warm and orangey colored.

On me the first five minutes...oh heaven. The bit of orange comes out and blends so well with the other notes...

Then five minutes later...um....where did it go??? *frantic sniffing of wrist and if i could bend that way my cleavage*

NOOOOOOO

Okay breath....try it at different times of the month...still a wonderful five minutes but only five minutes.

Off to the swaps...but with very fond memories.

I got this in a swap. It was not on my wishlist, But boy or boy am I glad I swapped for it.

In the bottle It smelt a little too perfumey. It actually smelled to me like one of the este lauder perfumes that my mouther use to wear. Not at all what I was expecting but not unpleasent really.

I slathered it on. I am not one for delicate dabs. And it still smelled like perfume for the first 10 minutes. But that is not a bad thing to me. I just thought I would use it for those days when I wanted a more tradtional perfume scent.

Then all of a sudden it started to morph on me. It took on a lovely floral scent. I still can't tell the different notes but it was very sharp. I could see where t he futureistic would come it. It had a definate edge to it.

Then I detected a bit of a champagne undertone. At least that is, I think it was a champagne untertone. A slightly bitter note under the sharp edged floral.

I love this scent. But it is a bit formal for me. I am a SAHM so I don't have much cause to wear it. LOL..I might wear it when we take the family out to the sit down restaurant.

Hmmmm....I actually like this. I was getting a bit worried that I would not like any of the Maelstrom scents. I can't smell any coco or orange. What I do smell is the Dragon's Blood and the black pepper.

I think I can pick these out because they are scents I know. To me is is a warm heart's blood red scent. I will admit when I swiped the oil on the first time..it's red color was a bit shocking. I am very pale and the red oil on my skin did look a bit like blood.

It has a good throw. Lasted all day, from 9 to a 7 that night. My husband said I smelled good. Spicey warm.

I am glad I have this one. Would I buy it again? No I have other scents I like much better.

This is very understated. It is a soft genteel scent that is gone almost before I have a chance to replace the cap. I caught a bit of the green tea I think, my newbie nose is not to good at picking out notes. I caught more of the mint in the bottle.

In the bottle it is a great scent. Lovely and would be wonderful on whom ever can amp up those wispy wraith like scents. Me I am not so wraith like. Looks like my english gentleman is still Dorian.

I got this as a frimp from the Lab...and all I can say is THANK YOU! This has moved up to the top of my next order list.

I smelled it in the imp and I could not pick out the coconut right off..it smelled a bit like buttercream. So I was nervous about wearing it. Foody scents and I don't get a long.

On My skin...well hello coconut..where did you come from? and then there was a bit of a resin smell. I never got a floral out of this...or my new nose just totally missed it in the spicey coconut heaven it was in.

It had a nice throw..but not something that was over powering and the dry down stayed true to my impressions.

I truely love this one..not as much as Snake Oil...but this one is so up there.

This was my very first full moon update. The lable is beautiful. I just sat there and looked at it for about five minutes. Then I opened it. It smells to me of lavander. I admit I am not a huge fan of the scent.

But It is a nice blend, When I put it on..i got a herbal lavandar scent. Very nice. The throw for me is excellent and the staying power is 10 for 10. If you like lavandar I think this would be a great buy for you. But I don't even like to use it in my oil burner.

This was interesting. It did not smell bad in the imp...it was different. So I put it on and wow...turned to cat pee on my arm. Please I am not being mean..but that is what sprang to mind.

Then before I could wash it off the babies were up and I had to go take care of them. So it stayed on my arm for a bit. While I brushed teeth and got breakfast on the table. Then I noticed that it did not smell that bad. I kind of liked it. It had a boozy rose scent to it that was quite nice.

But I just can't get past the cat pee smell. I think it is a lot like Poe's stories really. If taken at face value they can be quite horrific but if you go back and actually look at them...they are lovely stories with a much deeper meaning. But I think I will have to see if I can swap it.

I read some good reviews on it and it does work on some people. So maybe my imp and find a good home.

My Dear Hubby ruined this one for me.

I got it as a frimp. so I tried it today. I just did not know about it. I think boozy scents and I don't get along to well anyway. But i wanted to wear it to see if it morphed into anything interesting.

I walked by my hubby and he asked me "What smells like chewing tabacco?"

Turns out it was Me wearing Wanda. After he asked that, all I could smell was cherry skoll.

Off to the swap box it goes.

This is one of those glourious frimps I got gifted with on my first purchace. And thank you Labbies!!

In the vial- very perfumey. But not in a bad way. It smelled like one of those high end perfumes you buy in specity stores. I think this is a bit on the femme side of masculine scents.

Wet- wow this has a bit of a twang to it. I can't pick out notes yet, but the rose is there with something spicey mixed in. A bit heady, but for this oil that works.

Dry- Wifty rose and something sweety. I have seen this described here as purple but I get more of a cream feel from it. The color not the scent. With just a hint of blush.

I will be buying a 5 ml of this with my next order. This is just lovely. But I am having a hard time convencing the DH to try it. I think it would smell great on him too.

This is the first imp I have tried out of my very first order. I am so in love with this scent.

When I opened it I got dryer sheets and apples. LOL I seem to be the only one to get apples...but keep in mind I am new to BPAL so I have an untrained nose.

This smelled yummy. I got the image of burying my nose in fresh from the dryer warm towels. Then as it settled I get a lovely crisp, soapy floral to go along with the dryer scents.

I think this would be a great scent to wear when you don't feel like wearing any. When you just want to smell good and not really smell like anything. My very next order is going to have a 10ml of this one. I love smelling Dirty.

Oh my. My first Scent in the wonderful world of Bpal. I can't really tell the different notes. But wow...this is wonderful. I bought it for my hubby off of ebay. But I seriously doubt that he will get it. LOL

It has such a warm spicey vanilla scent that morphed in to even something more wonderful after about 30 minutes. I really wish I could review every note, maybe when I am not such a newbie I will be able too. But this is diffinate going on my "Keep in stock" list.

hey guys!

How about a rec for something that smells a bit like Miskatonic University. I am stalking ebay and the sell section but no luck so far...So I was wondering if there is a GC that is even remotely close. I have only one order pending right now...so and help would be very nice.
