  1. I got a decant of this after winning Ondine's very generous PIF!

     

    This evokes a mental image of pink strawberries and marshmallow fluff clouds. It's very foodie and smells like I rubbed myself with rice krispy treats. My roommates asked what treats I was hiding in my room. I do enjoy this, but I don't know if it's very *me*. I enjoy the foodie scent, but I'm not sure I like wearing it on me.


  2. I got a decant from a circle left over and adore how smoky and sexy this is.

     

    It has a lot of notes I love and admittedly, I've been staying off of it to not possibly run out. This, in my opinion, is a hair gloss for a badass.


  3. The first BPAL I ever fell hard for! I initially picked this up in my quest for finding a matching Eve for my Adam, and in my quest to Own All The Things!

     

    Ava in the bottle and wet on my skin is vanilla musk before that tuberose starts opening it up on my skin. I get the edge of citrus as she dries down and she can last all day for me.

     

    This perfume is one I never want to be out of. She smells incredible and age appropriate for me (Late 20s) and I think as it ages, it'll go just as beautifully.


  4. This is a favourite perfume oil for me so I was excited to get the hair gloss after wandcapping the oil through my hair.

     

    HOLY STAYING POWER! Four days after spraying it, my hair still smelled like it! It was something I wasn't reaching for too much, so I wound up selling it.


  5. I'm really bummed I'm going to eventually run out of this, but it's been my go to hair gloss since getting decants. The vanilla/leather is what I smell in the bottle and at first spray, then it turns to musky/leather sexiness. It lasts until my next wash!


  6. This is straight up apple on me! Slight cardamom and honey. No real trace of blackcurrant though. I enjoy it, but I'm not sure I want to keep it.

     

    Edit: 2:10 PM. I'm getting more cardamom and honey. I spoke too soon!


  7. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind: pearlescent vanilla musk with white sandalwood, grey amber, white patchouli, ambrette seed, and oudh.

     

    I don't want to be the first one! But here goes. In my quest to have my pairings (OLLA Adam/Eve, now this), I knew I had to nab her immediately. And she did not disappoint.

     

    She's complex and feminine. The vanilla musk and the sandalwood hit me first and then the amber and white patchouli. She's beautiful and her staying power is incredible: nearly a full 24 hours!

     

    Get her, you won't regret it. If this or Thomas doesn't sell out first, I'll be surprised! One of my faves.


  8. I finally tried this at Will Call last night. The sweetness is sexy and feels seductive and reminds me of Hair Loosened and Soiled Hair Gloss, which is a favourite of mine. The patch on my arm where I put her on is still strong, almost 24 hours later! I'm definitely picking up a bottle!


  9. My deeper concern has always been for you. If you are happy, I am happy.

    Bay rum and sandalwood.

     

    From the prototypes (before I smelled Thomas Sharpe), this was actually one I was very excited for. I picked him up after Beth said he was one she preferred. I thought it wasn't in stock, and I had to snap it up immediately!

     

    Wet in the bottle, he smells... like my Snow White hair gloss from last year, which I'm rationing, I love it so much!

     

    On the skin, he goes on smelling like Snow White, which makes me think of his scenes in the film. He's absolutely lovely and the staying power is quite nice. I'll be picking up this one a lot as it starts to move into "winter" in LA.

     

    Edit: Wearing this again today. The best I can describe him is that he smells like Snow White's Brother. Very lovely.


  10. Being the Tom Hiddleston fan I am, I snapped him up immediately at Will Call, along with a backup. I'd love to see the official description and notes, so this is me trying to do this as best as I can.

     

    The first lash on my skin, I smelled something masculine, but it's not to the extent of OLLA's Adam. I get a lot of woody notes from this, something a bit dusty. He smells warm and comfortingish, but isn't in your face.

     

    I skin-tested him with Edith Cushing (which I wound up buying) *and* Lucille Sharpe. Both combinations, Thomas is the secondary player, but it compliments them.

     

    Holy staying power. It's almost 9:30 AM right now and I applied him at 6:20 PM last night :bunnyluv:


  11. I've had a decant of this for a few months and have used it with varying results.

    Scent-wise: Cloves and spices.

     

    I've anointed resumes, candles and my computer with while looking for work. I haven't had a steady job in more than a year after moving to California. I don't know if it's me, as I've been using this since about April and still haven't found work. I wore it to a couple of interviews this past week and felt that they went really well. Now to wait for results.
