This is the CREAMIEST orchid/gardenia scent to me... almost delicious smelling - like, lickable I'm truly bowled over by Lune Noire... 5/5!

Mmmmmmmmmm.... Milk Moon '05

Whore'd up cream soda float... the Queen Bitch of All Vanillas! *Licks arm... makes out with arm...*

Oh! You still here?

Yup, keeper! Hoarder, even!!

Straight up sugary melon on me... but iz GUD!!

Like sloshy wet leaves on your shoes on a chilly night... so sad I only got an impy! Wantz maor!

GREEEEEEEEN, floral, herb-y, sugary and LOVELY!!

 

Can haz replay in '08 plz??

First, a big to StrangeModeGirl for the generous pick me up decant !

 

I FREAKIN' LUUUUUURVE The Ifrit... soooo bright orange/red feeling, juicy and ripe in the vial... I wanted to slather the whole damn imp on in one pop! (Patience, Kali grasshopper... you'll want this baby to last...)

 

About 5 min. in, Ifrit went subtly creamy and mellow... really rounding out to a full-bodied soft Dragon's Blood/resins(?)/creamy accord/and a little musky sumthin' sumthin' that blended everything up so well that I caught myself MOANING after a sniff

 

Surprisingly long weartime, too!

 

5/5

Thank you, marvelous GoldenRubee, for giving me the chance to give this puppy a test spin! (And passing the thanks on down to HF for makin' it all happen... sounds like you had an AWESOME TIME!)

 

In the imp: ORANGE ZEST... In your FACE orange zest! Supahdupah juicy and tart with a wee bit of sweet.

 

Wet on skin: A good pop of that initial orange - with a burst of orange blossom and what smells EXACTLY like the honey in L'Occitane's Eau de Miel (soooo gooood!!)

 

Early dry: More orange blossom/honey water than anything... a teensy bit musky - but I can't place what is riding the undercurrent...

 

3 hours in: Very faint hint of that *musky something*... the floral/honey bit phased out about 1.5 - 2 hours in... Wondering if the musky something is an oddball remnant of the honey??

 

On a sidenote - my DH said it smells EXACTLY like a spray deo he used to use in the '70s... not a bad thing - just an odd coincidence

 

I think it's purrrrrty

This was one of my very very first impers waaaaaay back when... all tarted up and sexy... sigh!

 

Lemony and herbaly and just fresh... but with a chilly kind of undercurrent (for me, anyhow)

 

One of my sniffs I go to for BPAL flashback jollies, but not everyday wear - but I'd cry if it weren't available in the catalog for restock

Oh yummmm... Almost LICKABLE moss... woodsy and spicy and just... just... YUM!! I really like this one - and I'm not sure WHAT the note is that has me by the butt... But I LIKE IT, I REAALLLLYYYY LIKE IT!!!!!

This is a very *smooth* rose and lily on me... Has those *Loony* earmarks!! I can't help but love it!

Scent: I'm an oddball... I love it. Medicinal, yeah... but the lemony-loveyness of it just slays me

 

Effectiveness: Hmmm... Like Ben-Gay LITE! But with deep massage, you get great circulatory benefits (as well as with the massage oil!! Woo woo!! Couldn't live w/out it!!)

 

5/5!

TKO does what it promises... knocks you flat on yr. ass. Gets the kinks out. Oooohs and Ahhhhhs you all over.

 

Swell for when your brain is *on* and you want to switch over to *off*

This one totally kicks my darling wonderful husband's headaches asses! I wish I had a gallon of the shizz Totally one for the medicine cabinet section of your BPAL stash

OCEANIC GRAPEFRUIT FIZZZZZZZZ!!! This is divine... very much on the *clean* side

Toasted coconutty/burnt sugary/Indian foody... I can't get a handle on it... but it is OMFG GOOOOOOOOD

<--- Stress Elixir in action ( exhibit B )

Yup, I'm one of those sick bastards that LOVES actual, honest to goodness fruitcake... I would eat it year-round.

 

This is fruitcake. Boozy, fruity, expensive-as-hell to make, nutty, moist, sticky, nomnomnom... FRUITCAKE.

 

Why not making big bottles naow, pleaz?

A couple of drops in a frimp from the WONDERFUL, MAGICAL, FLYINGPIZZA!!!!

 

This is in my TOP 10... NOW!!

 

I know EXACTLY what it smells like. Having grown up in L.A. with so many African American, Afro-Cuban, Jamaican, and other buddies of color - and doing their hair - A LOT - and sleeping over, crying together, a hug here and there...

 

This is the scent of the nape of the neck of a warm, beautiful, mysterious, caring woman of color

 

 

5/5... Solid.

2006 Version:

 

I LOVE good pipe tobacco... I adore tobacco shops. Herr Drosselmeyer embodies the scent of walking into a good tobacco shop! This is just pure yum and everything I was hoping it would be!!

 

Throw is excellent. Wet to drydown, this is a winner through and through!!

 

I forced it on my sweet husband before bed last night and slept like a baby (I have the distinct feeling that it would be great for non-sleeping bedtime as well, hee hee hee... I'm a bad, bad imp)!

 

In the bottle: Lovely, rich, cherry/mahogany tobacco w/a hint of leather & buttery accord

 

Wet on skin: More of the same, leather blooms forth and pops you on the hiney!

 

Drydown: Sweet and rich (but not sickeningly so)... Bold and stately - but with a cuddly edge... one of those paradox scents that grabs you by the nose and says, "Hey... look at me. Look again, honey..."

 

5/5.

2004 Version

 

Ohhhhh my sweet mamajama of wub!! This is tres yum!!

 

Cold, creamy coconut milk... with GREEN... something. Juniper? Is it??? Floral-y... Just YUM... nom nom nom.... Can I just have some sex with my arms now??

 

Wet to drydown, this packs the same amount of pow for me... just a little mellowing into creamy-er yumminess as the hours tick by. The throw is FAN-FARKIN'-TASTIC.

 

I put this on last night... woke up earlier, and even now I'm still wrapped in a lovely blanket of soft, cuddle-up and nuzzle me (I keep saying this) YUMMMMMMM!!!!

 

A full-on 5/5. Must have more... must have this year's!! Must have EVERY YEAR!!!
