    Black Ice

    In the vial: This really smells like chilly ice. Again I ask - how the hell does Beth do it? On me - The icy scent only stays for the initial few minutes. Then it goes kind of muddy. Then vanishes, within about ten minutes.

    Krampus

    In the vial: Red musk. Dusty red musk. Wet: I don't know Beth does it - this blend is exactly like the description above. Drydown: This fades very quickly to an indistinct musk. Woe.

    Sol Invictus

    In the vial: Warmth - mostly in the form of citrus. Wet: The citrus amps up initially. There's something that turns almost bitter on me as well. Drydown: Faint citrusy amber. Fades quickly.

    Halôa

    In the vial: Cakes. And more cakes. Hm. Wet: The cakes take over still, leaving nothing to the other notes. Drydown: This fades to nothing rapidly. Argh.

    Lick It Again

    Every holiday season should be full of lewd suggestions and filthy double entendres, right? This is a new take on last year’s Lick It – a peppermint candy cane with an extra jolt of sugar. In the vial: Peppermint! Wet: Yummy peppermint, backed by sugar. This really is the perfect candy cane scent, Yummy. Drydown: Sadly this fades really quickly on me I end up with just a very faint sugary scent.

    Midnight Mass

    In the vial: Incense! Wet: This has a very bitter phase when I first put it on. It's actually quite faint on me, with little throw. Drydown: Soft incense. And then a headache. Oh dear.

    The Snow Maiden

    In the vial: Chilly florals. Wet: The florals stay, and the berries come out slightly. Drydown: This one fades away to nothing within about 30 minutes on me.

    Yule

    In the vial: Juicy holly berries. Wet: Berries! The other scents play about in the background a little, but it's still mainly the holly berries. Drydown: Faded berries and some greenery.

    Kabuki

    In the bottle: OMG cherry cough syrup. I cringe. Wet: The cough syrup scent stays for a few minutes (during which I panic). I should know better - BPAL's cherry always softens on my skin. The cherry blends beautifully with the red musk into something deep and exotic. No star anise, unless it's very subtle (which knowing Beth, it is). Drydown: This goes into all musk, as most blends that contain this note do on me. I'm not complaining - I love the musk.

    Moon Rose

    In the bottle: Translucent rose indeed! This smells like a rose just on the edge of existence. Wet: The moonflower tries to come out, but it and the rose get mixed together into an indistinct floral. It's nice, but I'd like to be able to pick out the individual notes more. Drydown: This goes powdery as it dries, and then turns a little soapy and then powdery again. Pleasant, but nothing amazing.

    Gennivre, L’Artiste du Diable

    In the bottle: Mostly tea and some sweetness. Wet: This is a strange, indistinct scent at first on me. Then the tea comes out again, accompanied by the lemongrass. Which is odd. Drydown: This dries down into an indistinct scent. Meh.

    The Haunted Palace

    In the bottle: A faint dusty floral. Wet: The vanilla and musk amp up initially - the musk isn't like it is in other blends on me. It's a lot softer, probably tempered by the other notes. I expected this to be quite floral on me, but the florals are very subdued. Drydown: This dries into a lovely soft ambery scent, with the dusty florals remaining as well.

    Purple Phoenix

    In the bottle: I can smell the wine grapes above everything else. It's *very* purple. Wet: The wine grapes amp very briefly, giving me a flash of that "OMG PURPLE" scent. This fades quickly (at which I am quite pleased, I don't think I could stand having that around me for too long). The scent fades quickly into a melange of the plum blossom and other florals, with the myrrh playing in the background and softening it all. Drydown: This dries down to quite a faint skin scent on me. I wish it was stronger and had more throw, because it's quite lovely.

    Dr. John Seward

    In the bottle: I get mainly the champaca flower (love!) but little whiffs of the poppy smoke as well. Wet: The smoke and sandalwood amp up initially - I despaired of this scent going all to smoke. Luckily there's enough sweetness to counter it, and after a while the smoke fades back, with the florals coming to the foreground. Drydown: On me, this is like a lighter Khajuraho, with a hint more subtlety. Lovely. I'm glad I have a bottle.

    Bitter Moon

    In the bottle: Herbs - must be the sage I think. Wet: The herbal scent comes out first, and remains for about ten minutes. After that the blackberry comes out - it fits the name of the blend well, for it isn't an overly sweet blackberry. The other scents all combine to give the blackberry a herbal background. Drydown: The blackberry of the scent fades in about an hours, leaving a lovely dusty herbal scent behind.
