I'm first!? Wow! I had to order this given the cause. I'm all about supporting my Trans friends and their peers.

That said, this is an interesting scent. Smells very sweet, almost sickeningly so in the bottle.  Once on it immediately starts to morph into a sweet incense with complex depth. A little wild and gritty. Reminds me of a headshop incense but better. 

Nice! Will enjoy having a bottle of this.

For me, this is the black musk that I absolutely adore from Streets of Detroit, but here sweetened and warmed and fuzzed with amber instead of myrrh and motor oil. It's dark and absolutely feline, and I can see it becoming one of my go-tos. I really, really love this one.

Streets of Detroit was the first comparison I thought of as well. Herself reads as slightly more feminine and sleek than Streets. Since Streets is in my top ten bpal favorites I'm ecstatic Herself is similar. 😁❤️😁🐈‍⬛

My bottle was a frottle, and the number was completely rubbed off. 

This is Snake Oil and a VERY strong rose. Not a shy, pink or wild rose. This is a full bloom red rose. I actually added a bit more Snake Oil just to calm it down a bit. 

Very pretty, but very strong.

Lots and lots of citrus. Happily for me the main citrus scent is grapefruit, which I love. Refreshing without being too sweet.

After a few hours it settles into plum musk with faint wafts of citrus.  Which is also great for me because I adore bpal's plum notes and love musks.

To me this is a tea with a gingery citrus tang. White coconut is a solid middle note and white musk wafts around gorgeously in the background. Very refreshing and envigorating. A good summer scent.

This one...... the amber scent I joined bpal Fandom back in 2007 to find. The smell of my kitten's fur when I'm sad and bury my nose against her. The warm comforting smell of home. This is bliss. This is now my very favorite bpal ever. And I only ordered it because it had two cats f#$$*&& on the label. Had to get a second bottle.  This scent is home.❤🐱🥰

Muuuuaaaaaahhhaaaahaaaahaaaa! This IS the seduction scent I've been waiting for! Too bad I'm post menopausal and on antidepressants and now have no libedo..... OR YOU'D ALL BE DOOMED TO WORSHIP ME (while wearing this....) 😌🦄

Just received today. Have been wanting this one for awhile because other than Nasty Woman and some Scalia bottles this is my only other activism scent. And I love Elizabeth Warren. 

In the bottle it's sharp with a light floral edge.

On skin wet the oud is popping right up with its indolent weirdness.  Not as potent as with some other bpal ouds but....still... that little poop whiff.

As it dries the oud settles back into being more woody. The iris comes out to play. And this is what I was waiting for  boys and ghouls! I love the smell of iris! The frankincense gives a sharp resinous base that melds with the oud. Not sure what creates the steel scent... ozone? But it doesn't overwhelm. Just boosts the power of the other scents. 

As it mellows the oud and iris find a lovely balance. 

If you love sharp scents and like oud that isn't too potent, I think you'd like this. As for me, this just replaced Nasty Woman as my favorite feminist activism scent.

PS. I love Elizabeth Warren ❤

... Florida Water is that you?
This smells citrusy, bright, full of ginger and a whiff of spices, and its just immediately comforting?

I was feeling all sorts of out of sort, but not anymore.

10/10, need to buy more.

Oh, my gosh! This DOES smell like Florida Water! It's spicy, citrusy and immediately comforting. ❤

Carnation is my most favorite floral note. I've wanted to try this one for ages and just got the opportunity to get this as a swap at a local bpal meet up in Salt Lake City...(thank you Madelyn!!!)

This is STRONG. And spicy. Pure Carnation. Very floral. If you want something subtle this is not for you. I adore it!

I haven't broken this one out in ages...what is wrong with me!!!??? This is an amazing floral blend. I can't even pick out the individual notes. If you love florals this is your baby!

I adore bpal's plum notes with my whole ❤ I also love their tobbaco notes. This scent is such an amazing combo of the two it almost....nay, it DOES bring me to tears. This is a warm, soft plum, resinous witout being sharp, beauty. It's gothic without being in your face. It's not too fruity but not too tobacco/patchouli. It's absolutely perfect.

I LOVE the wild plum note in The Witch Queen (Stardust)

Wild plum, red musk, tuberose, calla lily, heliotrope, pimento, ylang ylang and beeswax beneath a dark haze of sinister purple-hued incense smoke.

The Witch Queen from the Stardust line is a huge gc floral/incense favorite of mine. Notes: Wild plum, red musk, tuberose, calla lily, heliotrope, pimento, ylang ylang and beeswax beneath a dark haze of sinister purple-hued incense smoke.

Dragon's blood, cocoa and musk with a sprinkling of pepper. It all blends together so nicely. Dragon's blood heavy scents aren't usually my thing, but this one is so pretty!

Literally exactly like the description. A little acrid in the bottle, but once on my skin it turned into a beautiful fruity vanilla a bit reminiscent of my beloved Monsterbait Closet. The vanilla doesn't go plasticy for me and the fruit isn't overwhelming. A foodie win!

This is all cherry and grape ring pops with a hint of vanilla frosting. Not getting any licorice. Sticky sweet candy, like jolly ranchers. A fun scent but I'll be content with my decant.

So pretty! Definitely want a bottle. The vanilla and honey are the standout notes on me with cherry, wine and musk backing them up. Vetiver was VERY present wet, but disappeared when dry.this smells edible without being too gormand.

I like this! It's definitely got a body/skin element, but the powdery amber mixed with rose mixed with spicy fig on top of the animalic oud.....to me this is gorgeous! A great balance of all the notes.

I don't get any citrus from this.

It is spicy oatmeal cookie.

Very yummy, but if you aren't into foodies stay away.

Wet it starts with a spicy menthol blast.

Dry down the carnation sticks around with a hint of minty sharpness.

I love carnation scents, and this one is unique and great if you need a cool yet spicy atmosphere.

Gorgeous carmely vanilla. Like lightly toasted marshmallows.

I love this so much!

OMG! This is the perfect spicy musk for me! A seemless blend. I can die happy now.

Dusty leather with the sweetness of parchment. And a hint of chill. Very wearable!

A bit powdery with light musk. Candy. A slight floral sweetness. Cedar? This one is so odd! I like it better when it drys down and all the above elements blend together. A keeper? Not sure yet.
