Does TKO have the same kind of label as GRR! OOF! etc?

Okay, every so often I wistfully think of the gifted tiny bit of Skadi someone sent me in my early, innocent BPAL days.I don't think I even have a drop left now, but I recall it as being woods (as in firtrees and such) and mountain air and snow and probably other things. I loved it, and eagerly went then to try to get a bottle--but of course it was gone, even before I smelled my little drops thereof.j
So, anyone ever find a Skadi equivalent?
Okay, this is based off Beth saying that lots of Talvikuu + drop of Yew Berry can mimic Skadi, Yew Trees is a GC, but what can substitute in the GC catalogue for Talvikuu? -
I just bought a few bars of soap from a lady in Dallas and it's called Arabian Musk. Oh I see her once a year so it will be a long time before I can get more soap.Is Arabian musk and White musk the same thing? I just adore the Arabian and would love to find a perfume with lot's of it in it.
I don't even care if it's by another company. Any recommendations?
I'm also in love with Arabian musk. Once I have bought Arabian musk from the site www.thepurplepeople.org . This scent is to die for
Arabian and White musks are different in my opinion. Arabian musk is a bit more chilly. I compared the Body shop white musk and arabian musk from purplepeople. They are absolutely different. Arabian musk is better....
I love this scent alone.....
However, I haven't tried a BPAL oil taht contains Arabian musk...
Oh my gosh ... thank you so much!
I bought a couple bottles of Snake Charmer (it has AM in it) when it came out the second time but it smelt dirty (to me) or like bad BO. :yikes:

I was frimped a decant of this (Thank you Dark Alice) and it smells like Thin Mints in the vial and while wet on my skin but the dry down (on me) smells just like Egg'd Mailbox. A very soft sweet pretty floral. Oh why oh why did it do that??? I have Egg'd so won't be needing a bottle of this.

Another preview label ... this time from Hellboy.
-
OMG!!! Cake Smash preview label! How damn cute is that?!?!

I kept sniffing this on my arm and it reminded me of some candy I used to eat but couldn't put my finger on it until I read TheIceMaiden & GypsyRoseRed's reviews and I think they hit the nail on the head. It smells like red Twizzlers but with cinnamon. Years ago when I was in Middle School we used to go across the street to this Health Food store and they sold these huge ropes of red licorice, it was the best licorice ever and it was like 3 feet long ... HH smells just like it. I'm loving this. It brings back fond memories for me.

Quick question. I looked to find similar images of the halloweenie's as the one in question, but a lot of photos don't go so far back and the less attractive bottles often don't get photos taken of them.I won a Dia de los Muertos from the lab and it has a white paper label (no gloss coating) with "Dia de los Muertos" written in orange ink down the right-hand side, and a skelly smoking a cigar on the left. What vintage is this? My guess is 2005.
I'm thinking your right. It's not the 2006 because I had that one and the one your talking about came out before it.
ETA: It is the 2005 version ... I found it in the Gallery.

Beth's posted the link to the artwork for Parker Lily on Twitter. Find it here: http://twitpic.com/cs7zmSorry if this has been posted before!
Love it!

The original Underbed is one of my all time favorite bpal's so I really wanted to try this.
No coconut (one of my favorite notes) and I don't pick up on any cocoa.
Ok after wearing this the other day I have finally figured out what this smells like .... Snickerdoodle Cookies!!
-
All I get is creamy gardenia and lemon. Very pretty indeed!
-
Yep, bubble gum for sure. It really reminds me of jailbait but much stronger. It smells like the gum you find in the quarter machines, it's square and the colors are green, white, red, pink & yellow. Chew them all together and you have Lolita v2.

Thanks to the forum member who let me try this out (you know who you are )
On me this smells like buttered toast with marmalade. I'm loving it!
-
Ok, soooo who stole my Stinky?!?! There is no stink in this bottle! Now a wet dog ... that's stinky but thanks Beth for not making that scent.
This is not what I expected at all, it reminds me a lot of Gladdner of All Hearts. Since I have a bottle of that I found cute lil Stinky a new home.
-
Ooooh I am loving this!! It's the milk note from Milk Moon 05 (not the 07 Pina Colada version) and herbs but I can smell black pepper also (like was in Ichabod Crane).
Absolutely NO oregano in my bottle. I think it depends on skin chemistry and thankfully I have skin that loves almost 99.9% of BPAL's oils.

Okay, guys, I am in CANADA and I cannot contain my effing squee. I had a dear friend hit Comicon and the CBLDF booth pretty hard for me and look what she brought me back!Thanks Eyeska ... can you give us mini reviews of them or put them in some catagory like Aquatic, resin, foody etc?
Catch the info over here.
Thanks. I feel very bad for you, I've spilled a bottle before and it was horrible. I will tell you the wood on my side of the bed smelled fabulous for a long time (Antique Lace). Everynight I could smell it so at least I was able to enjoy it.

Anyone have pics of the WKAP scents? Please share the love.

Comptoir Sud Pacifique came out with a perfume back in 1976 called Eau Grise. It's really a uni-sex perfume but it's listed in the men's category.
Anyway, Mole smells just like it. I have a vintage bottle of EG and compared the two and it's amazing how much alike they are.
I'd think this has civet in it although it is not listed as one of the notes.
Mole is fantastic and so glad I swapped for a bottle of it.

A cross between Milk Moon & Eden. Very pretty!!
-
Here are the ones I got!Oh how cute! I almost didn't see the goat on Nonae.

I am dying to see what the labels for the new Egyptian scents look like! (And the garden ornament scents too!)Oooh I'd like to see the garden stuff too. No pinwheel review yet.

Fresh ripe strawberries and the grass note in Blade of Grass (my opinion). This is different than the 05 version. I like them both but if I had to choose I'd pick 05.
What do bottles and labels look like?
