    Is anyone working on a spreadsheet update after our recent updates?

    Red Phoenix

    A celebration of three years of decadence, determination, death and rebirth. Red musk, tonka, Chinese cassia, mandarin, patchouli, benzoin, wild plum and tobacco. I'm going to break the trend here: To me, Red Phoenix is Sexy Beltane. Granted, I haven't smelled Blood Moon. Initially I was afraid of the red musk- I thought it would overpower it. But no. This is a gorgeous scent- not overly spicy on me (Snake Oil is spicier). To me, it exudes a quiet, yet powerful confidence- the kind you have when you've gone through the wringer and come out the other side stronger, and sexier. I'd love to see this become a catalog scent. But for now, I'm going to track down one or two more bottles.

    Olfactory caffeine: Wake up, Stay Awake with BPAL

    It's Mercury for me. Instant brain power.

    Rose Cross

    I cannot wait to order a full bottle of this. I love frankincense- love love love. It's hard for me to find something with frankincense in it that I don't like. That said- rose is often iffy. I love roses- but they often die on me. This did not. It was like walking with a bouquet of roses in a church right after a high mass. mmmmm. I can't believe that it took me so long to find this.

    Love in the Asylum

    I get pure rose, carnation, whiffs of vanilla and puffs of smoke here and there... I grinned when I opened the bottle- it was like sticking my head into the cooler at a florists' shop (I have a tendency to do that ). This is one of the few rose scents that doesn't turn into 'dead flowers" on me. Honestly- I love it- my immediate reaction was to twitch toward my computer to find another bottle (I haven't yet). I really do like this- it's certainly not overpowering- not even in the oppressive heat and the stuffy classrooms. I actually get to slather this on b/c it fades after about 3 hours on me. ::shrug::

    Pronouncing "BPAL" and scent names!

    I never would have thought of Vetch...The "yaya" parts are throwing me off. Reminds me of that Ya-ya Sisterhood book.

    Pronouncing "BPAL" and scent names!

    Vechernyaya and Utrennyaya anyone? Every time I try to pronounce them I end up stuttering, so I've been reduced to calling them the morning and evening star.

    Chiroptera

    Upon opening the bottle, I first thought, "Ooh. This is a snuggle scent- to be worn at night"; and I loved it. It was all light floral goodness. But then I put it on. I loved it for a bit, and then I smelled soap. Flowers and soap. Now, 10 hours later, I think I smell lemon and soap- and the combination isn't working well on me. It's not bad, or even something that I really dislike, but it's just not clicking with my senses. I'm going to give it a few more tries and hope that it does click. If not, then off to swaps.

    Pink Moon 2005

    I can't write a better review than metaldog's. It articulates everything I feel about Pink Moon (rather amazing, actually). It does have an initial hit of Sugar Skull, but the burnt sugar doesn't last nearly as long. It then "blooms" and I smell the flowers and the strawberry. I've always loved the smell of fresh strawberries, but had no idea that there was a way to smell like them- aside from smearing them all over me, and that's just not practical. After trying this, I knew that I had to try the other blends with strawberry. I only wish that I'd bought 2 bottles because I'm rationing it already.

    Mi-Go Brain Canister

    I've always been hesitant about fruity scents, but something told me to order a bottle of this, and then a second bottle when I saw that it was still available. I am so very glad that I did. Initially, I smell the pink pepper and the musks. Which is good...then eventually I start to smell the fruits, and finally the jasmine. Nothing truly stands out to me, aside from the pink pepper in the beginning and maybe some mango, but I love the blend. It honestly changed my opinion of fruity scents. As the days grow even hotter, I keep grabbing my bottle and smiling as I apply it.

    March Hare

    I tried to love it- as I generally love anything with clove; but this one... it just didn't work. The apricot started off faint, then I was hit with a wave of clove (come back!!!)-- then all I could smell was overwhelming apricot. A great scent for someone I'm sure- but it was sickly sweet on me.

    Beltane 2005-06

    I'm so glad that I decided to gamble on Beltane- I usually never purchase w/o notes, but I'm so glad I did. In fact, within five minutes of putting it on, I started to hunt down more bottles. Up to two and a half bottles now- I definately want this to last me through the summer and hopefully longer! I wish I knew exactly what was in it- I don't think I could describe it better than Fulltiltredhead has though. Lasted about 8-10 hours on me as well.

    Czernobog

    I quite like it on my skin. No cat pee here. I do find it vaguely reminiscent of Snake Oil- I was shocked to see that at least 1 person noticed that as well. I also get a strange citrus out of it every now and then, but on the whole, I like it. I need to at least get two more imps of it.
  15. Is there anything similar to All Saint's? I always hesitate to use it for fear of it disappearing...
