    Bensiabel

    Gorgeous Plum and Florals. Juicy and Leathery right out of the gate! Mmm! Then Plum and Lilac and Leather mingle. I adore this. I want a big bottle. It's so gorgeous. It is so amazing. ;_;

    Orion

    Orion is do wonderful and snuggly. It's liken being wrapped up in a warm cabin in front of a chair that your Granny who smoked often sat in. She made you a plate of spice cookies nearby, but you don't really smell them. You just know they're in the house. It's got a lovely vanillaish, spicy cedar drydown for me. I love it. Thank you so much Dark Alice for sending me this!! I love it!

    Smut

    Okay so I'm not sure what year this is, either 2007 or 2008? It's got 2 ladies on the label. Either way, I loooove it. It's a bit boozy but not in a drunken way, a bit floral, but not in a smothering way, sugary but not in a too sweet way, and musky in ALL of the good ways that I just don't have words for. It's crystalline in a way I think The booze isn't so strong that you feel like a drunkard, it's "Oh, I'm a wee bit tipsy." Just enough to be bubbly. The sugary musk is the real star. It's kind of like Snake oil, but sweeter. On my ol' man it smells straight up grapey.

    How do you apply your BPAL oils?

    Is there a place to order both roller balls and wand caps? Just curious. I got my first bottle with a wand cap on it and really like it. I just can't see paying 9 bucks shipping for a bunch of fancy caps when I also want to try the roller balls too... mainly cause I'm thinking "That could buy me some bpal."

    Queen Alice

    Mulled cider / wine, carnations, creamy amber, pollen from the posies and fruit. It's a lovely creamy fruity spicy scent that evokes winter / fall.

    Brown Jenkin

    All of my current hair products have coconut in 'em, and Brown Jenkins has tgat same loverly scent. The sandalwood makes a wonderful combination with it! The incensed make it so the coconut isn't a whole straight up exotic or food scent, if that makes sense? It's definitely snuggly. It's nice and creamy.

    Comedy Queen

    If you've ever smelled B Never 2 Busy To Be Beautiful by Lush, or Flying Foxes, both of which were discontinued, this is very similar. If you loved either of those GET you some. It's gorgeous honey. It's different than O, it's not pure sex. It's beautiful and kind of innocent in a way, I'm attributing that to the orange blossom and sugar. Good God, this takes me back, and makes me miss B Never as a body wash. I'd love to bathe in Comedy Queen. If you love pure honey, get you some!

    Corvidae?

    I have no suggestions, I'm just here to say I totally want a blend called The Grackle. Grackles are cool.

    Pageant Queen

    This is sooo good. I like mainstream perfume now that I can actually wear it. This is such a better version of it! It's like a high dollar, fancy pants perfume but one that I enjoy wearing, if that makes sense? I feel sophisticated, amazing, and like I can take on the world and grab it by the balls.

    Baron Samedi

    Holy crap, this reminds me of New Orleans in a bottle. I mean that in the BEST way. It starts out all almondy, pure almonds. Them it morphs into a lovely spicy, boozy tobacco scent that is wonderful and cozy, just like some of the little shops there. Man, I want to visit again, and hide myself away in some of those boutiques. But until then I feel like Baron Samedi has captured a wee bit of that scent memory, and magic. I think I'm gonna smear this all over my ol'man when I want a comfy, cozy, snuggly scent, full of hidden secrets.

    Diwali

    I am having a particularly hard day / night, and Diwali is a wonderfully comforting scent. It's like lightly spiced cream. Sweet, fruity, but not overly so. It's so comforting and feels like a warm hug. My fiance has suggested I wear this scent when I need to appear professional, oddly enough. It's not sweet in a childish manner, the sandalwood and cardamom make it an adult scent. I love it. When I'm having a rough day I like to put it on and snuggle up.

    Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller (2006)

    Gorgeous, plum sweetened tobacco, booze and musk. The patch isn't dirty, but my Mom, as always, asks "Is that a man's cologne you're wearing?" Because of it, and the tobacco, I think... Idgaf, I smell good in men's cologne too. I loooove it. I really want to try some of the newer version, but the old is aged to perfection. I feel amazing and mysterious when I wear it. It's much less sweet since it's aged and I feel ready to take out a tarot deck, and read someone's palm!

    Tobacco scents

    The ol' man has the 2004 version of Hearth, which has the same notes as this years. If you love tobacco, grab it! It starts out a bit fruity, then becomes a glorious Cherrywood tobacco . It's super sexy.
  14. I think it's the honey and ylang ylang combo of Skuld. My fiance looooves it on me! If it's that he might like Le Petite Mort if memory serves, I think that has honey and Ylang Ylang in it, just without the grapelike note that Skuld has?
  15. Okay so can anyone tell me what the heck blue musk is exactly? I've been avoiding it in case there's blueberries or some thing in it, but I just wanted to ask...

    Mrs. Lewis

    Super soft roses, and sandalwood. I don't normally like roses but this is really lovely.

    Thorns

    It's like the ghost of a rose stem farted on my arm. And oddly that isn't a bad thing. Honestly I fear roses, but this is actually lovely on me. It's not one of those "O hai, I'm rose!!!!!" Screeching blends. Its green with a nice powdery rose poot!

    Sugar Plum Fairy Hair Gloss

    Queen of the Kingdom of Sweets: sugar plums, vanilla-infused sugar, tiare, amber musk, apricot peel, and a light dusting of cacao. This is straight out of the mailbox. I've had it inside for a few hours. I don't know if it needs to rest like normal BPAL, but I did give it a shake as I've had it recommended. This is a lovely, sweet plummy vanilla scent. It's soft, delicate, and lovely. I'm guessing that's the tiare? I'm not sure, I don't know what Tiare smells like! I wasn't sure if I should expect something in your face, but, it's not really. It's light and playful, just like you'd expect a fairy to be. It's not a deep plum scent. It's light, floating sugared vanilla plums I don't really get the apricot peel. I do get whiffs off the amber musk which is lovely. No Cacao so far. I'll update after it's had a few days to rest / settle just in case that's needed. So far I like it. Edit: After a few days to settle, it gets much better! I can smell something floral, a bit of the apricot peel, and a lovely cloud of vanilla and sugary plums. It pairs really great with Bordello and any plum-heavy blends. I love it! On the hair front, it doesn't make my hair greasy, and helps tame the frizz a bit. I really like what the oil does for my hair.

    Hearth

    It starts out all cherries, with a hint of wood. Then turns to woods with a tobacco note. Eventually it dries down to a prominent sweet fruity tobacco scent. It reminds me of the cigars my Papa used to smoke.

    Nocturne

    An olfactory serenede. A somber, contemplative scent -- dreamy and subdued. Deepest violet touched with lilac and tuberose. This is the lilac blend I've been looking for. Not mixed with rose, or a cologne, it's gorgeous. The lilac, violet, and tuberose play so well together, it's well balanced, feminine, and beautiful.

    Cockaigne

    This is amaaaaazing. It smells like I crawled up inside of a honey cake that is smothered in caramel cream, with a dash of that delicious BPAL goodness underneath. You know the scent I'm talking about. It's not a sout wine note, it's fab. I enjoy it and it'd be great layered!

    Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils

    I received a response and they said it's an accord, but in the case of my allergy being so severe they wouldn't chance it. Bless the lab. <3

    Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils

    So. Kind of a necrobump cause I didn't wanna bother the labbies. Fiance brought with him an old bottle of Jersey Devil. Which has a cranberry note in it. I'm super allergic to them even tho I love them. Anyone know if they are actually used in the note? Thanks!

    Like Father, Like Daughter

    This is AMAZING. The pomegranate and the cotton candy are perfectly balanced together for me. This is like pomegranates turned in to cotton candy. I would honestly eat the everloving crap out of this if I could... I want it as a hair gloss and body oil SO BAD. It's sweet, but not too sweet. The poms balance out the cotton candy really well, if that makes any sense? I'm not sure I'm able to do this justice. If you like Candy Phoenix, you'll love it! I definitely need a backup.

    'Tis The Voice Of The Lobster

    I love this, and want a big bottle. It's gloriously fruity! I can't stop sniffing myself when I wear it!
