Whirling Wind and Blue Moon (#1) update added.

Left His Nurse While In a Crowd
hackess replied to pinkstardust420's topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
In the bottle, I get traces of chocolate, rich and creamy, interlaced with juicy ripe berries. Wet, this is tea, not with cream but with lemon, and LOTS of it. I have no idea where the lemon came from, and who ate all my chocolate? The musk roars in as the scent starts drying, and it mingles nicely with the mysterious lemon. A few hours later, I get...cotton? *reads scent description again* I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE CAKE. THE CAKE WAS A LIE. -
Anniversary and DarkDel/Trunk Show scents have been added, preemptively in some cases.

Harvest Moon 2008
-
Updated! Yules, Peach Moon, and 13 now included!
-
In case you guys are wondering, I'm waiting for Friday's 13 update, and then I'll get the spreadsheet up this weekend. I promise!
-
Raven Moon update added!
-
Hi MichelleK - Hm. You *might* be able to merge them with a built-in Excel tool, but I don't pretend to be an Excel guru. My best guess is that you would want to start over; I can't imagine it would be a pretty merge. I removed a number of columns from the previous incarnation of the spreadsheet and added a few new ones. Copy+paste might be your best bet here. Sorry Edit to add: Which reminds me...I've been on vacation the last two weeks, so I'll get to adding Raven Moon update this week.

It starts out a very strong anise, nice and spicy. There's a slight sweetness underneath that never gets any stronger. I hate licorice jellybeans, but this is awesome.
-
I figured it would be helpful if they matched, for that reason. I've got a few days of nothing coming up, thanks to a wisdom teeth extraction, so I'll try to start the switchover then.
-
Bat-woman marked for death, all of today's updates added! Edit: Upon reading Shollin's review forum update here, I'm wondering if people want me to revamp the spreadsheet to follow the same grouping and group naming conventions (i.e., Event Exclusives). It wouldn't happen overnight, obviously, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the spreadsheet users.

Spreadsheet updated with the Tales of Death and Dementia, and the Chakras have had their discontinuation date marked.

In the imp, it's highly aquatic and green, like Irish Spring soap. Wet, it starts "drying" out very quickly, and I get a lot of sandalwood, dry crackling paper, and just an edge of that greenness from the initial stage -- aloe, maybe. It's a clean, fresh green, but it's an afterthought. Others have described it as The Castle without the blood, and if I close my eyes I can almost picture a bright sunny day next to a crumbling stone ruin surrounded by overgrown wild herbs. Dry: Where'd it go? This one morphed super quickly and was gone just as fast. There are traces of it left on my hand, like the clean/soap smell on someone who got out of the shower an hour ago. Absolutely no throw, and no wearlength, which is all fine for me as these aren't my notes. It was a pleasure to be able to try it, though!

Spreadsheet updated to include WKAP and the Black Butterfly/Halloweenie update
-
That's really neat!
-
Yay! and thanks! You're welcome! Also, icon love! Lafayette is full of win.
-
Updates posted. Included Sunbird and Vampire Tarot's initial release, The Fool, but have not yet added any of the WKAP scents. I'll wait for an official scent list for those.
-
Hi all, I'm going to try very hard to get the updates posted this weekend, now that the C15 and various new CBLDF scents have been announced.
-
For personal reasons, I REAAAAALLY wanted to like Set. I should have guessed from the Egyptian background that it would be all desert and musks, and that my skin would despise it. In the bottle, it's sand and heat over throbbing wet musk. Wet, I get sharp notes of vetiver and exotic spices. The very hot musks still dominate this scent, but what's this? A tempting sweet honeyed note? My oasis in the desert? Oh god, this becomes pretty intoxicating. I can't stop sniffing my arm. And then the heady tropical florals at the desert oasis take over and I cannot get it off my skin fast enough.
-
Blueberry, for sure! In the bottle, it's sticky sweet blueberry, the same as is in Crawdad Dream, barely tempered with vanilla. Wet, it becomes a rich, dark, fruity scent and loses quite a bit of the cloying sweetness. There's some type of musk present, as it starts to take on a "blueberry-scented eraser" lean. Thankfully, that passes once it settles into my skin. An earlier review claimed spice but I think acquires more of a woodsy undertone, almost like sandalwood. It's a mature blueberry scent, not at all like Strawberry Shortcake's companion. It has very little throw, but seems to linger for a while.
-
Updated! Includes all the DD prototypes and Summer Blockbusters, plus today's Smoky Moon update.
-
Now including Strawberry Moon update, Warrior Queens, new forum-only, and something else I'm forgetting.
-
Poenari helpfully pointed out that I'd missed adding Yorick as part of the April Fools' release. How quickly we forget those we knew! He's now included.
-
Select all by hitting Ctrl+A, then right click and select "Format Cells..." Select the Alignment tab, and check the "Wrap text automatically" box. I'm using OpenOffice, but the Excel steps are about the same. Edit: Additionally, Planting Moon has been added.
-
New stuff will always be at the bottom, and the date column will tell you what's newest. I think most people copy out the new lines and paste into their own annotated versions. Velvet, Le Mat, etc. are already there. I'll add Planting Moon tonight or tomorrow. You can always check my sig for the last updated date
