Vote three for Brides of Dracula! Its a nice floral skin musk. The florals aren't overwhelming and the musk is apparent throught the entire life of the perfume without being too heady. I like it as a spring scent. And I've noticed you can find it on ebay on a regular basis. I used to wear "Skin musk" and Brides definitly has that scent.

Nom nom....Fenris Wolf! yup....lasts forever on me as well...though it goes through transformations...sandalwood to musk to musky amber to amber. Not too sure on throw yet...Smut seems to have the most throw of any so far.

Shalimar is my mom's signature scent. I thought Fenris Wolf dried down to a feral smelling Shalimar. Oooo, another Garden Botanika hoarder! I've got a teensy bit of GB's Vanilla Musk left....I'm hoping to find a vanilla musk in BPAL that replaces it.

It lasts a while. I think because the sandalwood creates a really good base. You have to like musk also though, because the musk is definitly very present.

I've found my musk/amber/sandalwood mix!!!! FENRIS WOLF!!!!! YUM!!!!

OMG! This may be the ultimate one for me!!!! In bottle-A woody spice. Most likely the sandalwood and rosewood combining. I was afraid it would be too spicy for me. Wet on skin-Still very woody, but less spice. The musk and amber(two of my favorite scents) are starting to appear. Drydown-Very warm....starts out heavy on the musk but the longer it drys the more amber is coming to the forefront. Verdict--MUST HAVE BIG BOTTLE!!!!! (my mother has worn Shalimar for years and this smells like Shalimar's feral cousin! LOVE IT!!) ***This is one of my first reviews.....and Have to say.....still very true! Fenris was the first description that really caught my eye on the BPAL website....the first imp I knew I had to have.....and after two months (and over 100 imps--plus several Big Bottles of LEs--later) is STILL one of my top five if not numero UNO! Something about the way the amber and sandalwood combine makes this divine! Oh....and I love this so much I've imped out alot of my first Big Bottle (because when I love something SOOOOO much I just HAVE to share it!) ....so a second bottle will soon be ordered...sigh.... Especially since I've started making a "perfume spray" of it with 1 part oil to 9 parts Everclear and spritzing my bed....sigh.....yes....this is a KEEPER scent!

From my first imp order and second scent I've reviewed (first being Hell's Belle) I'd wanted to like this as a long distance friend described it as "pure sex" on her, but....... This is soap on me from start to finish. The drydown was a bit more warm, but still that soapy scent that doesn't work well on my skin. Sigh. Will be swapping this one.

The first bpal scent I've ever applied....so....here goes..... In bottle.....Woah! I smell dragon's blood but there isn't any in the description! Must be the citrus and spice combining. Wet....Strong. A lush floral is coming out but the spices are still dominant. 1 hour...more creamy/musky less floral....still a hint of citrus as a top note, but it is blending well with the musk scent...I smell like a sexy dreamsicle! Oooooo! Well....pretty sure this will have some serious staying power (hoping so as I'm going to a party tonight and want to WOW the guests)....but I'll have to come back later to give the final results. So far....in lust with this! (But be warned! VERY potent when wet!) *edit..... The party was very smokey and incesney so I'm not sure if anyone got to smell the goodness or not. But when I woke up this morning I could still smell some musky caramel scent on my wrists.

I'm a NOOB (as in...haven't even gotten my first order yet, noob!) But I'm also a huge amber fan.....so this thread is of great interest to me. My question is....is there a good scent that blends amber, musk, vanilla and dragons blood? (the dragons blood doesn't need to be there.....but it works well on me.) I adore musky/amber/vanilla smells! (maybe some sandalwood, though it sometimes gets a bit soapy). Anything warm and not too floral!
