  1. Ok, so I wasn't even INTERESTED in smelling this one at first... the smell i hate the worst (well, besides maybe a few horrid things) is Baby Powder, and with "powder" in the description, I was frightened... Well, I had the chance to sniff this at a Meet & Sniff yesterday, and loved it to much that I bought it off the person! :D

     

    In the bottle, on my wrist, wet, or dry, Bunny smells the same for me: Cottony, like laundry detergent. And it lasts really long, too! I LOVE ME SOME BUNNY! :P

     

    the only bad thing? my boyfriend started sneezing after he sniffed it! *crossing fingers that he just breathed it in too much or something, and isn't allergic*


  2. i smell honeysuckle, but well... there is no honeysuckle in this. But it is divine! sweet fruity floral... I'm telling you, though, it smells JUST like the honeysuckle handmade soap I bought last month that is in my bathroom making it smell yummy in there. *random*

     

    i want more! :P


  3. oh jasmine! Jasmine and I are old friends, and at first New Orleans really just smells like any other BPAL with Jasmine in it on my skin. Like, well, JASMINE. hehe. I like jasmine, and it REALLY likes me (aka: takes over).

     

    Over time, though, the honeysuckle (my fave) comes through... So I like this one a bit more than some of my other jasmine scents!

     

    I don't smell lemon in this at ALL. Again, my skin just loves it some jasmine. LOL.


  4. bamboo? tea? I should LOVE this... in the bottle, I do... on my skin at FIRST I do... but why, oh why, did this go musky on me after about 15 minutes? :P

     

    Ah well, I guess it goes into the swap pile...


  5. mmm... mi-love mi-go!

     

    I smell fruity tea, and it loves me, so I love it. If that makes sense! The jasmine (which i have a love/hate relationship with) is there, but doesn't take over the other scents... so we are loving each other on this one.

     

    over an hour later, I can still smell the lovely fruity tea! :P


  6. The perfected winter rose, dew covered and freshly cut.


    rose rose rose! I do love me the smell of fresh roses, and this oil really WANTS to be that. I smell it, there somewhere... but I kept smelling something else... not sure. Leaves? it was taking over the delight of rose for me.

    now, as it has been on my wrist for about an hour, the rose is how I WANT it to smell... but can I handle the beginning to get through to the end? not sure yet... I may give it another try!

    it MAY be why I have this headache right now, though... :P

  7. A sinister, darkly seductive scent inspired by poetry of Charles Baudelaire. Violet entwined with vanilla and gardenia.


    hmm... not sure what it was about this one, but maybe the mixture of violet and vanilla did NOT like my skin. It was overpowering! I was trying to give it a shot, and then try something else on my other wrist, and well... this one won. But not in a good way. Too strong for me! It did NOT like me at all!

  8. wow... well, I WANTED to love this, but I should just make a mental note to stay away from anything with honey in it... i don't like the taste or smell of honey in the bear shaped container, and it apparently holds that against me!

     

    i sniffed this, and it was a little fruity and promising. On my wrist? wow. Umm... i thought "white chocolate" for some reason, but it was really just sour milk and HONEY. after a few mins? HONEY HONEY HONEY. I was actually a bit gaggy. :P The honey smell literally overpowered my ability to think straight, and I had to go scrub it off my arm.

     

    *boohoo*


  9. i got Beltane because I went to a Beltane festival type thing this year, and I had a blast... so it was sort of in honor of that :P

     

    ok, the scent is very floral... and even a bit musty, which I normally don't care for... but it was like the musty smell KNEW I didn't like it, and stayed far enough away that I truly LOVED this scent! it seemed really relaxing, and made me happy.

     

    sniffing that makes me smile? Sounds good to me! :D


  10. grass grass grass!! But I liked it! Like when someone is mowing the lawn... Normally that makes me sneeze, so it is nice to smell and enjoy it without that. Once it was on my arm a little while, the grass calmed down a bit and allowed a bit of a floral scent to come through...

     

    love this! :P


  11. hmm... this is DEF more of a masculine scent that I'm used to on myself. I smell something peppery? But a hint of something sour in the back, haunting me and making me keep on sniffing, trying to "catch" what it is! Can't figure it out...

     

    oh well, not really for me... but caught my attention!


  12. This one was very sweet! I smelled mostly the peach, and it was delicious. I kept sticking my nose back on my wrist. :P Almost candy-like, really... And the scent lasted on me quite a while. Hooray!


  13. i really feel that the description of this scent from the lab is EXACTLY what it turned out to be... and I love it! Very crisp, airy, and clean... Smells like, well, MIST! A misty day... And the scent lasted quite a while, too!

     

    Note: I liked this on my skin less today than yesterday. Not sure if it was because I had just gotten out of the shower? Maybe it mixed with something... don't know. Weird! I'll try it again before changing my mind on buying a bottle. hehe.


  14. i smell a citrus-y smell, with a bit of spice? i assume this is the orange blossom, but not positive... I like it, though!

     

    After it was on a bit, it smelled a bit like leaves... and a bit of spice. Lasted a while on me, too! yay!


  15. how bizarre that i didn't smell ANY of the mint in this at all? I got incense-y... cinnamon, sandalwood? Smells nice, but more of a candle scent for me than a perfume. I will definitely try burning it in my oil burner soon! :P


  16. i smell something sweet... the magnolia? orchid? Not sure, but I'm THRILLED, because Jasmine (though I love it) tends to TAKE OVER whenever it is in the mix, and it doesn't on this one! HOORAY! I can smell it there, but it isn't the ONLY thing. Black Dahlia is A-OK in my book! :P


  17. oh, cordelia, why oh why?

     

    Lemon/green tea? Should be LOVELY! But the cedar and musk are all I can smell on me... and, well, after some time? Just musk. musk, musk, musk :D Musk does not like me,and i do not like musk. what a shame :P


  18. mmm... I got Titania as a frimp (it was on my wishlist, too!). Out of the scents I received, this one was my favorite!

     

    at first, it is a little bit of the floral I can smell,but mostly peach? pear? fruity... maybe the sweet pea? This is DELICIOUS!

     

    This scent lasted quite a while, too! the fruity candy smell was something I wanted to keep sniffing on every few minutes!

     

    bonus points, of course, for my boyfriend liking this one, too! :P


  19. i get jasmine (i like jasmine, but it CAN be overpowering)... and, YES, my favorite! honeysuckle!

     

    This smells similar to something else i love... Ligeia, I think? *getting confused*. it is a VERY strong jasmine, though... so, for people that don't like that, this may be one to avoid!

     

    as for me? I'm digging it (even though my other wrist is SO fighting me with the soapy insanity that Catherine turned into... back down, soap!!)

     

    p.s. the jasmine has mellowed out a bit more, to give way to more honeysuckle. YAY!


  20. well, i know what this one smells like out of MY childhood! The "forest" smell that was in my scratch and sniff Bambi book. LOL. The one I didn't REALLY liked, but kept sniffing anyway? random.

     

    anyway, this smells very grassy/herbal to me. I want to not like it, but keep on sniffing it. Hard to explain. On my wrist? the strong herbal smell is a little less strong... giving way to the mellow smell of a flower (probably the orange blossom, as it is not rose-y).

     

    overall? not sure i LOVE it, but it is nice!

     

    *edit* This just totally went soapy on me! how bizarre... boo :P


  21. ok... at first, I LOVED bayou! I smell the citrusy/grassy scent. Love that... sort of strong, but in a way I like.

     

    THEN, unfortunately, the scents that I like about it strip away... and I'm left with the smell of the soap in my grandmom's bathroom. boohoo. Definitely don't want to be smelling like old lady bathroom!!

     

    may try burning this one, though! maybe the scents I like out of it will last longer and not tilt to that potty room smell :P


  22. boohoo...

     

    When I opened Juliet, I believed it would be my FAVORITE scent! Very sweet floral, and I could smell my FAVORITE note: Honeysuckle! YUM.

     

    On my wrist, I could smell the yummy honeysuckle, with a little bit of lily in the background. and maybe a little of the sweet pea? not sure...

     

    What was wrong? Well, after about an hour, it went TOTALLY musky/dusty on me! all the sweet yumminess went away, and left me with a yucky smell... maybe just the lily? not sure. But it made me sad :P
