It's beautiful, though not what I was expecting at all. I was hoping for something a little bit warmer, a little spicier, but the woods tame my beloved carnation down to a powdery afterthought, and I get zero clove and almost no patchouli. The bay is all upfront, the first thing I smell in the bottle. I wouldn't at any point guess that there's vanilla in this, even though I tend to amp it into something plastic and fake. I so wanted it to be a "fuzzier" version of Clemence (especially with the patchouli and carnation). Wearlength is decent, as is throw, but I don't see myself wearing it often.

I don't get my skin chemistry sometimes. Orange has been one of my favorite go-to scents this summer. So, I wanted dry oranges from Cykranoshian Catnip, but got sour roses.

Does anyone's spreadsheet include the lab prices? I've gone through and done a purge of my collection, and I have 141 bottles to sell. A lot of them aren't on the price list, though, and I don't want to violate price caps accidentally. Thank you!

Price caps vary by community -- this forum's price caps are different than the price caps at Sinandsalvation on LJ, for example. If you have questions about the appropriate price cap for a particular item, your best bet is to contact the mods for that community or forum board.

Now with Panther and Lotus Moon, Metamorphosis, CT6, and BEES!

I tested this one with full expectation that I'd hate it.

In the bottle, it's all wood, with a drizzle of butterscotch. I'm not optimistic, but I toss a dab on my wrist.

I don't know if it's testament to Beth's magical blending powers, or if my skin chemistry absolutely adores this, but on my skin it's like a tamed Velvet Tiger. The wood note doesn't come through strongly, but serves to nicely moderate the other notes. I'm not amping butterscotch or caramel, both of which normally end up smelling like burnt butter on me. The apricot is at the forefront, just barely sweetened with a brown sugar glaze. It's gorgeous and sexy.

I only put on a tiny bit, so the throw isn't anything to speak of yet, but it's lasted for three hours so far with no signs of stopping. Keeper!

In Reilig Oran (Gaiman event exclusive) has been added.

ETA: Auto-complete decided to post "Dorian v3" instead of "Door" for the Neverwhere line. This has been fixed.

I wanted this to be a bedtime scent, like the previous poster suggested. I wanted it to be a chamomile-heavy blend with just a tinge of rich bourbon vanilla, and in the bottle it has promise. Unfortunately, I amp powdery vanilla and once it hits my skin, the chamomile disappears. The scent itself has no throw and little staying power.

All caught up! For those of you who noticed, Ol' Roswell Cemetery has been added back to the list. I swear it keeps disappearing on its own. >_>

The only scent that hasn't been added yet is the Gaiman exclusive from tonight's reading. Once it's been named, I'll add it in.

February's Chaste Moon/Bards and BPTP updates have been added!

Blue Moon, DD, Lupes, and Candle Moon all added to the spreadsheet! Loviatar marked for death..

Brian's Blue Moon and the impossibly cute Werepuppy have been added to the spreadsheet!

A kind soul let me know that the Inquisitions were missing from the spreadsheet. That's been rectified!

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

In the imp, the scent reminds me of hazelnuts. It's nutty and warm. Upon immediate application, it sweetens a bit -- roasted hazelnuts dusted in powdered sugar! I LOVE this one!

In the imp, it's cherry cola, slightly effervescent but mostly a heavy syrupy smell. Wet, I had first thought it was sour cherry balls, but upon second application it's all pine -- the wood, not the needles -- and what might be juniper.

Edit: This one's morphing before my nose...the woodsy smell gives way to a decadent patchouli with hints of cinnamon. It's a very warm and inviting and I wish it had more throw.

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 the bottle, it's boozy egg nog. Wet, this one's got a really sharp note, almost reminiscent of cough syrup. Thankfully, that passes super quickly to give way to a warm, lightly spiced creaminess that reminds me of some kind of candy I know I've had before. Not too creamy, not at all milky (read: sour), slightly nutty, and perfectly spiced with cassia and nutmeg. Puts me in the mood for a nice warm holiday beverage! I wish it had more throw, and my skin is eating it. If it had more oof, I'd love it.

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!

I want to eat my hand. It smells *exactly* like the little cookies. Somehow Beth even got the waft of powdered sugar that tickles your nose. After a few minutes, the powdered sugar gives way to the spices and OM NOM NOM NOM.

It's a pretty light scent, but I only put a dab on the back of my hand. No throw to speak of, but again, I barely applied so I could test it without irritating my coworkers.

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.
