These are testers with just a drop or so of oil in them.

 

 

119 --- Smells like the original Oblivion (the GREEN one)

 

77 --- like Story Time at DD but with Lemon Poundcake (lot's of it) and less wood.

 

113 --- Picking up the syrup from Bake Sale but can't figure out the other notes.

 

 

Lavender, Black Musk, Clove and a touch of Rosemary. Actually this smells a lot like Khandita from Lupercalia (of which I love). The two are very much related scent wise.

Gloria Vanderbilt.

This is my FAV moon of all time (well of all the one's I've tried since 2006)

 

No Snake Charmer in this for me. It's Smut with Nag Champa.

 

I this stuff and would love to be able to find another bottle because this is going to get some serious use.

 

Lol, it looks like a sleestak!

 

Please, let me not be the only one that knows who they are!

Land of the Lost??

 

hehe.. yeah.. and there's also this:

 

 

that's funny!!

I've found most of the Helicopters already, but I don't seem to see Reptoid Dominion anywhere. Can anyone post it, or point me in the direction to a link?

 

Thanks so much. I'm dying to try this one... weird scents with bad reviews are sometimes a recipe for success for me.

On me this is the creamy gardenia from The Unheavenly City meets melon. Very soft close to the skin, a tad sweet & fruity and a tad floral. Pretty nice.

Yep, it's aged Snake Oil. It smells just like the oil in my 2006 bottle but it doesn't last on my skin like the straight up oil. Will be great for layering.

Love this! On "my skin" this smells like a warm carrot cake with cream cheese icing (without the nuts).

I'm not using this in the bath tub but spraying it on my skin instead. There is no way I am wasting this in water.

Staying power is amazing.

I love lemongrass and it's the main note on my skin with Spun sugar coming in second.

I think this is the BEST citrus scent from BPAL that I have tried.

Great for summer!

I can smell the grasses and grain in this blend along with something sweet and topped off with a slight dirt note. Very realistic and I like it.

I agree with GypsyRoseRed, my nose is picking up leather in this scent. I put it on earlier and I was 3 feet away from my Dad and he could smell it. He wears a cologne called Leather Jacket.

There's a sweetness to this also. Must be the tobacco. Everything blends very well. 4 hours on and still going strong. This is a keeper!!

So glad I swapped for it. Thanks Hillary!

Thanks Moryssa & hkhm!! Those two are on my "buy" list for next month. The other two are Moon Landing & Skytyping.

Ok I see some UFO reviews are coming in ... anyone want to share some pictures of the labels??

Velvet Dogs Playing Poker is my fave for pipe tobacco. You should look at the reviews in the limited section and see if you like how it sounds, you can always put out an ISO for it

also Herr Drosselmeyer...I've never smelled it but it sounds great!

 

Herr Drosselmeyer smelled like bad BO on me. I can usually wear any scent but that one was bad. ymmv though.

 

Have you tried ...

A Bold Bluff, C.M. Coolidge.

Cherry tobacco, tonka, and hops. from the April Fools Salon 07

If you can find it, Hearth 04 is a good one--lots of comforting cherry tobacco.

 

 

I agree!!

Very nice. It reminds me a lot of Geek. Not a lot of throw and the clove is very soft compared to others such as Bandito. I know Geek does not have clove in it but it's amazing how much Male smells like it on my skin. Even with leather being the only common note between the two it really smells like Geek's younger brother.

Ok when I first got the decant yesterday my allergies were acting up and I could barely smell anything but last night before I went to bed I put it on. Hmmmm it smells so familiar. I think about it and I just know I have something that smells like this. I'm surprised I could go to sleep. Upon waking I realize what it is.

 

On my skin it smells like the vanilla & two ambers in Mouses Long Sad Tale meets the whip leather and gaufrette in Le Pere Fouttard. This smells like a much lighter LPF.

 

So if you like MLST or LPF then you will like this. It's just not as strong as the other two blends.

Again another :heart: for me. It just's the softest Key Lime with the barest hint of chocolate.

 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say most children love chocolate and I *think* Lil' Lilith stole most of Mom & Pop's stash of chocolate in this newest release of the chocolate box and the girl is a genius! Well you know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Bravo Beth!! I love this years box!

:heart: this!!! This smells like Moonalisa Bongo Poppycake meets Lime! It also smells like Fruit Loops. It's a soft sweet lemon and lime, who stole the chocolate? Oh well I don't care cause I love it and I've never tried Matcha Green Tea.

This is a lot better than last years White Chocolate & Strawberry. I think the addition of pepper tames the scent so that it's not sickly sweet. Hey I love sweet foody scents but last years was just way over the top for me.

This years version with the added pepper is sooo smooth and very soft on my skin. I like this version a lot and I'm so glad I bought a bottle.

Enraged Groundhog Musk meets Shub with a lil' chocolate. No rum or coconut yet. I'm still in the wet stage so if it changes I'll add to this review.

well, crap. I fell in love with my decant of Black Death and was going to order a bottle, but I'll be holding out until I hear what is going on with the new batch. Thanks for the heads up, guys.

 

Ya know the second version is not bad but if you have your heart set on the first one you would be surprised. I had skin tested it last night and later on in the evening I kept getting these wafts of a sweet smell. Kinda like back when I used to skate and go to the concession stand where they were making cotton candy or if you go to a carnival and pass the food alley. It's not like Midway though. You know that kinda smell that just draws you in? That's what it ended up smelling like on me. It is nice so you might try to find a decant if you like that kind of smell.

 

I have an imp or L'Estate and a bottle of it. The imp is a great ambery color, and it smells golden-like the amber in Inez. My bottle, however, smells very faint and thin. So completely different then my imp. Anybody know what's up with that?

I have a bottle of L'Estate and just went in and opened it. It's pretty strong so not sure why yours smells faint. Hopefully someone else here will be able to help.

I love the original version!! It was dry and a bit spicy (kinda a lighter version of Velvet Bandito) ... I have a decant of this.

 

Soooo I bought a bottle THINKING it would be the same but the 2nd run of Black Death is NOTHING like the original and I do mean NOTHING. I opened the bottle and it was like woah APPLE!!!! I'm not a big apple fan. There are others out there that also get this same note and compared it to Fearful Pleasure/Lamb's Wool/apple cider/spiced apples and I said it smells like the apple note in Agape. How can there be such a HUGE difference?? Hell apple isn't even one of the notes but that's all I keep hearing from others as well.

 

I want the ORIGINAL Black Death damn-it. I'm heartbroken.
