    White Musk

    Oh, now I love this! This is very "clean" smelling. Definitely a musk, but it's a clean musk that makes me think of things like spring and crisp freshly laundered white linens. Mmmm...

    Civet

    So this is pure civet. It has a musky quality, but it's not as overwhelming as I thought it would be. It's subtle rather than in your face. Definitely an "animal" feel.

    Apple Blossom

    A pretty, rather soapy floral. It reminds me of something from India. Not what I expected this to smell like at all - not really getting any apple qualities.

    Pikaki

    A soft white floral. Pretty, but not overly distinctive.

    Are there plans for a BPAL gift registry?

    I didn't know about this site - thanks for the heads up!

    Anthelion

    Interesting. This is Christmas incense. Smells sort of like when you were a kid and put the cloves in the fruits. I like it very much.

    Obeah

    A white floral with some ginger. It's okay.

    Basil

    My skin completely ate this, but what I do get is definitely a cooking herb. Smells like anise mixed with mint. Not me, at all.

    Netzach

    The chemical rose, only not as chemically, with a bit of something darker underneath it. This is fairly subtle on me, but it's going to soap.

    Three Gorgons

    The citrus notes are staying blessedly silent. I'm getting a mild tobacco with a soft amber. Touch of the vetiver, but it's not overpowering here. My main complaint with this one is that it's too subtle. Ten minutes after putting it on, I can barely smell it.

    Lot and His Daughters

    This is a citrus version of a head shop or incense store. The overall effect is slightly-citrus patchouli. There's a bit of a boozy quality behind it, and I think I'm getting myrrh as a base. A lot of these notes I have no idea what they smell like, so it's hard to comment on them. This is a very complex scent, though, with different notes jumping in and out. I think it's a bit too citrus for me, however.

    The Lantern Ghost of Oiwa

    Interesting! The mint is what hits me first, but it's sitting right on top of some cherry-flavored teas. This isn't an "in your face" mint - it's more subtle. This kind of reminds me of a quiet men's aftershave. There's something deeper underneath that I'm guessing is the ho wood. I think I would like this one on my girlfriend.

    La Mort Qui Danse

    Peppery lilies that tickle my nose. Very "white." Touch of ginger spicing things up. It feels slightly aquatic. Not for me.

    Judith Victorious

    Strangely foody. I get almost a hazelnut and caramel smell here. Moderately musky. Getting a touch of florals in the background, but this scent isn't what I expected at all!

    Itasô Kansei Nenkan Jorô No Fûzoku

    Very soapy. A good soap, but it's barely there. Sort of tea-like, with some florals. It's pretty but very, very faint.

    Helping Hand

    Mint, herbal, and medicinal liquid antibiotic. Yuck. 1/5.

    The Sailor's Den

    On me: Mostly sweet rum, with a touch of sharpish tobacco and coconut. It's sort of a foody Bluebeard.

    Melancholia

    On me: Strong white florals toned down slightly by sandalwood. The lilies are over the ylang ylang. Not sure this is for me, but I'll give it another try before making a final decision.

    Les Anges Déchus

    On me: What the heck is life everlasting? A BPAL scent that will make me live forever? I'm getting floral tobacco with a touch of leather. Bit "juicy" from the currant. Pretty good - it's a more girly De Sade.

    The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed With the Sun

    On me: This is really, really strange. I don't know what some of these notes smell like on their own, but my overall impression is "Sweet Pea Almond Cereal." There's definitely *something* nutty in here, and other than the sweet pea I don't get any of the florals. Little bit of sandalwood. A very strange scent. If the sweet pea were more dominant, I think I might like this, but as it is the "cereal" quality is a turn off.

    The Great He-Goat

    On me: Ooh, I think this could be the new Schwarzer Mond! You're gonna have to love patchouli to love this, because it is *strongly* patchouli, and fairly musky. The amber is rounding out the patchouli a bit, and I'm getting a touch of sweet-sour from the pomegranate. A lovely scent, very rich. Not as much throw as I would expect from something with patchouli, but that's a good thing - it says "I'm here" without being completely in your face.

    Garden Path With Chickens

    On me: A green floral. Lots of grass and leaves here. The feel I get is "spring meadow early in the morning tromping through the flowers." Verbena is trying to be mean here, and I wish it would stop. The roses here are definitely more the Rose Red/Peacock Queen roses rather than the ones that are chemical death on me. I'm not sure on this one.

    The Ecstacy of St. Theresa

    On me: Almost all iris and gardenia. A white scent with a touch of green feel. Not getting much amber. Frankincense is sharpening it a bit, but not really being "spicy" at all.
  24. supremegoddessofall

    Cupid Complaining to Venus

    On me: Ooh, pretty! Honeyed apples. Touch of wildness that I'm pretty sure is thyme, and swimming lightly in sandalwood. Not really getting the fig other than a kind of "juicy" feel in the background.

    The Cup of Death

    On me: Peach in some weird florals. I normally love peach, but this is not playing particularly well with others, particularly the lavender. There's something in here that's just...strange.
