    Belladonna

    I don't like this one. As soon as I put it on it was pretty much screaming pine at me. I am *so* allergic to pine. Crap. Ummmm....it smells a little like old school Pine Sol.

    Xanthe, The Weeping Clown

    I smell mostly guava and orange peel, with a hint of spice. I think it will be nice to wear in the summer.

    Midnight on the Midway (2006)

    In the bottle and wet it smells kind of like jasmine, bubble gum, and cotton candy --- but in a more pleasant combination than that sounds like. Once it dries down it smells a lot like nag champa, which makes me quite happy.

    Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller (2006)

    On me it smells like musk with vanilla undertones at first, but then mellows to vanilla with fruity hints. Not an everyday scent for me, but I do like it. It starts off a bit stronger than I would ideally like, but is quite nice once it mellows.

    Thirteen (13)

    Thirteen (13) in the bottle smells kind of like white chocolate mixed with Gran Marnier (sp?). On me dried down it smells mostly like white chocolate, but with a hint of something that might be the currant. It's nice. It seems like a nice fall and winter scent to me.

    Imp

    In the bottle I wasn't quite sure what I was smelling until I read the description for imp on the website --- it just smelled kind of spicy sweet to me at first, until I was able to identify the amber scent in there. Now that it has dried on my skin it smells like sweet amber. I can smell the peach just barely underneath, but it mostly just sweetens up the amber scent. Not an everyday kind of scent for me, but I do like it.

    The Phantom Calliope

    Yep, the first two scents listed are black cherry and patchouli. They really do mean that. When I first opened the imp that is pretty much *all* I smelled. And when I first put it on. Which made me go, "Uh oh." After a bit (like an hour) it settled down into a nice patchouli with.....something --- it could have been cardamom. I see from Answers.com that cassis is a type of currant. That explains the almost lethal mega-cherry at the beginning. Do I actually like it? I...don't...know.

    Hungry Ghost Moon 2006

    In the bottle and wet, it smelled like ginger sandalwood with something sweet underneath it all. Dry on me it smells like a sweet vanilla sandalwood with herbal undertones. Quite nice, actually.

    Calliope

    In the bottle it smelled lemony minty. Wet on me, it smelled mostly lemony, with a touch of herbal. At first it kind of reminded me of that Jean Nate stuff from the 80s, but less Pledge-ish than that. Now that it has dried and settled down, it smells like an herbal orange. Nice, but I think I will stick with the imp. It would make a nice room scent or sachet though --- hmmmm......

    Eve

    This one smelled really (almost too) sweet in the bottle and when I first put it on. Once it dried though, it smelled like a honeyed rose. Later picked up on the ylang ylang more and something that smelled like a really clean, uncloying jasmine --- maybe that is the apple blossom? Several hours after putting it on, it is just a really sweet skin smell on me, if that makes any sense at all. Quite yummy.

    Urd

    Ummmm...so far wet the smell is reminding me of that old Alberto VO5 stuff from the 70s. Okay, wait, now that it has dried a bit it has settled down and smells WAY better. Yep, muscadine and incense. I might be more likely to use this as a room scent. It's a little overpowering on me to wear, I think. Maybe. A little definitely goes a long way. Others have said this smells like incense shops, etc., to them, and I have to agree. I like it.

    Glasgow

    This one smells basically like what it contains: blackberry and heather. In the bottle and wet, the blackberry seems to come out more. Once it dries, the heather comes out more strongly to make it a yummy fruity floral. I apparently love the fruity floral scents because this one and Persephone are two of my favorite BPAL scents, with Glasgow being a bit less "Ta-da, smell me, smell me!" than Persephone. I have been wearing it quite often lately and I am going to have to invest in a bottle because my imp is over half empty.

    Snake Oil

    This stuff is awesome! In the bottle it smells warm and spicy. Some earlier reviewers said it was an innocent scent. On me it was a subtly sexy smell of spiced vanilla. Hubby had an uber-frisky reaction to it, without a doubt!

    Moon Rose

    This one was strong moonflower (at least, I *think* it is moonflower) at first when still wet. Once it dried, it became more rose-ish. It's not old-lady rose --- it's more slighly spicy rose. I see a tendency for me to like the rose scents from BPAL, and this one is no exception.

    Sacred Whore of Babylon

    I smell really dense, heavy florals in this one when it is in the bottle. As soon as I put it on me it's like, *hello*, gardenia! This one was a freebie, which I really appreciate, but I am going to have to pass on to someone else because it doesn't smell good on me --- I'm going to blame the gardenia, which just doesn't suit me at all, apparently. I could totally see this one smelling good on someone else though.
