Strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen.
I mainly get linen and and milk from this with a sharp tea and lemony ginger bite and a drizzle of sweet honey. As nice as this sounds this just doesn't smell like how I'd like to smell even though I thought from the notes it could become one of my favorite light scents. It's one of those scents that seems to just sit on top of my skin instead of blend with it and it's just 'not me' although I can imagine it smelling lovely and comforting on someone else. -
Mmm I managed to get a bottle of Beaver Moon 05 and it's such cheesecakey goodness . I can't wait for my new Beaver Moon to arrive but I doubt it'll smell as yummy as the one I have.

This isn't green at all on my nails which is a good thing as it means I can wear it with any clothes. I had to use a few layers for this to show up as much as I liked it to but it is a lovely mix of different coloured glitters and looks really pretty. It only glows if it's really dark but it still does glow quite well! So well in fact when I was being taught at college what to do in the dark room I was told to put gloves on becase the glow of my nail polish may have got too much light onto the film!

My new perfect red nail polish hoorah! I love this. I use two coats and get the most perfect true, dark (but not tooo dark if that makes sense ) red which looks really glamourous. Perfect when teamed with a gorgeous matte red lipstick. This needed two coats but the consistancy was lovely and not too thick at all and the colour isn't streaky at all. I absolutely never want to run out of this <3

I really had a 'smell' in mind when I thought of what this would smell (all sweet sugary and buttery crumpets and cakes) but it doesn't smell like I had imagined it. It has a slightly crumpety base and a tiny hint of butter but over the top of this i smell juicy redcurrants and blackcurrants. This also has a ton of white sugar over it and then a little spicy kick. This is so unusual and lovely! I'm glad I got to try it.
-
This is softly spicy and earthy. When I first put this on I thought I had a 'whoa vetiver!' moment but it seemed to go quickly. It's also got a slight insensey and resinous feel. The more I sniff this the more I like it which is funny because in the imp this really doesn't smell good to me. In the final stages it reminds me slightly of a more soft, lady-like and less in your face Schwarzer Mond.

This smells so strange on me.
The only way I can describe is like sharp cinnamon dominating with some weird vanilla creamy note lingering in the background and also a really sweet fruity bubblegum. On my skin it really does smell like it doesn't go as the creamy vanilla smells really sickly up against the spicyness of the cinnamon.
-
So this is a jasmine that doesn't like me AT all .
This smells exactly like someone's freshly cleaned bathroom. Whilst better than a dirty bathroom I do not wish to smell anything like a bathroom. This is indeed my soapy hell.
-
Wow I expected to not like this at all but it's actually quite nice. I hate 'green' scents and aquatics and this definately fits into both but it works on me and smells very evocative of a dark, deep, magical, stone tunnel. It's a light scent but also has quite a lot of through. Even though this does work on me I'm not too sad that I won't be able to wear it again as it's still not a scent I'd often reach for.
-
On me this smells quite sweet and I can smell red musk too. I think I can also smell some florals (not sure which though as I'm bad at guessing florals but they're quite light) and also some sticky cherries. This is very sweet and girly but also sexy and more complex as I smell something either woody or resinous underneath.
Damn I do really like this actually but I'm trying not to show it as I'll never be able to wear it again.
-
In the imp this is gorgeously creamy in a vauguely foody way and musky but with a bit of sharper kick to it on top if that makes sense. Like it has red musk and then a lighter musk on top.
On my skin this is yummy! Creamy vanilla and cocoa but then a sexy musk too. You'll love this if you like Snake Oil type incarnations, Smut, Hollywood Babylon etc. Oddly though in the final stages of the drydown I get a tiny hint of soap in the background but I think that may be due to 'time of the month' things where red musk can turn a bit soapy but usually I think this would be amazing.
-
When wet this is such a strong, sharp apple scent which to me is quite similar to Poisoned Apple. After a minute or so though a sprinkling of sugar appears and a ton of caramel! Mmm.. this is exactly how I pictured it in my mind before I got it. Lovely sweet juicy sugared apple with the softness and stickness of caramel. *mouth waters* This scent really is exactly as the description says. The throw is good and it seems to be lasting well. Overall this is absolutely gorgeous and is so perfectly fitting for this season

A sorrowful graveyard bouquet of somber blooms, funereal boughs, dismal green and laden with grief.
This is well blended so can't pick out any notes in particular actually. Maybe pine oil & lilies? Anyway this smells really, really green! It's floral but it's a woodsy, green floral. If you're a fan of green scents this is a must have! Sadly I'm not a fan so this imp will be finding a new home soon. -
On me this is pretty much exactly how the description describes it. It's watery & very salty with a floral background. I think I can smell lotus & lilies in the background as the florals but I'm not too sure. They are definately very soft. The whole perfume is very light with not much throw. This is great for aquatic lovers but it's just not me so I won't be using up my imp.
-
Wow this is such a strange combination!
In the imp: Dark ground coffee backed up by rosy sweetness.
On skin: When dry the coffee settles down and this is mostly roses with a touch of ground coffee spinkled over. I don't smell any jasmine, vanilla, fig, tonka bean etc. Just roses & coffee.
Overall: This is such a strange scent but I think I do actually like it! Will hang onto my imp and wear it a few times I think.. I don't think it's going to turn into a 5ml but it's a fun scent.
-
This just smells so strange and wrong on my skin. It smells slightly nutty.. like peanut butter, bitter, herbal and just strange. . Really not the kind of thing I'd want to smell like. It's not repulsive but it's just not my idea of perfume. As for the effects I'd be too conscious of smelling strange to convert my power whilst wearing this! It has a massive amount of throw so if you like this then it's great but for me not so great. I think this will be put in the to-be-frimped pile!

In the imp: Sweet red musk & incense.
Wet on skin: Why on earth is this turning to soap on me? Red musk never does that to me (or even amber)!
Dry on skin: Thank goodness the soapy aspect dies down and I'm left with what I hoped for. Sexy red musk (loses it's sweetness on me but red musk always does.. in a good way) & spices. If I sniff at my wrist hard I can still smell a tiny bit of soapyness though but this has a ton of throw and I can't smell soap in it's throw.
Overall: The initial soapyness has me worried as I thought this would be definate love. So I'm slightly weary. Might have to try this one again at some point before deciding whether I really like it or not.

In the imp: Sweet leather, red musk & myrrh
On skin: Wow! This is HOT. This is unashamadly sexy. If you thought Smut was slutty think again. Downright angry sex . This is dark leather, musks & a deep amber on me. Much darker than in the imp on me.
Overall: I'm so undecided over this one & whether to get a bottle. I like it but then I wonder if it smells a little masculine. I might try wearing it out and see what others think & whether it smells too manly but oh it is sexy! I might try to sweeten her up with a combo. Maybe snake oil? But overall I still think this is great
-
In the imp this is just pure sweet bubblegum. But on my skin this develops into a sexy perfume in a sweetshop! The womanly perfume holds a grownup base for this and the bubblegum & lollipops bring a youthful sweetness to this scent. 'Innocence defiled' describes this scent wonderfully. Absolutely lovely. I'd never have thought a sexy bubblegum scent was possible but this is it! A complete gem in the general catalogue for me.

Thought of some more.
The ultimate sweet cherry.
The ultimate candy floss.
The ultimate sexy chocolate (Boomslang is nice but it's not chocolatey enough for me).
The ultimate crisp, juicy apple.
-
In the imp: Ugh. Straight up ginger. I don't mind sweet sugary ginger in small doses with other things mixed but this is harsh ginger. Makes me wrinkle up my nose & feel a it sick even!
Wet on skin: Yep same.. just this horrible amped up savory kitchen spice ginger.
Overall: I had to wash this off. I must just hate this kind of ginger! I don't like to give a BPAL blend such a horrid review but this just did not agree with my chemistry in general let alone my skin chemistry. I had hopes for this one to be a lovely cinnamon sweet snake oil but it didn't turn out that way .
-
In the imp: Mmm creamy dark chocolate. Like sugary dark chocolate truffles *drools*.
Wet on skin: Exactly like the smell in the imp but with a little vanilla background.
Dry on skin: The chocolate fades much more than I'd like it to and I can mostly smell just snake oil now with a hint of cocoa which gives it a creamier, foodier scent.
Overall: Even though the chocolate scent faded more than I'd like it to this is still the sexy chocolate that I was hoping for! Lovely. BOTTLE PLEASE . I can imagine this will be glorious when it's aged.
-
In the imp: Mmm soft, pale mints & green tea. Can't smell any snake oil at all.
Wet on skin: WHOA MINT! When I sniff my wrist with this on wet my nose tingles & had a cold senstation but then I'm left with an afterwhiff of warm snake oil. Lovely.
Dry on skin: The mint stays at the forefront of this for a good couple of hours with snake oil peeking out more & more as time goes on. Now a couple of hours in this just smells like a minty snake oil instead of MINT & a hint of snake oil.
Overall: I love mint & I love snake oil so I knew I'd adore Green Tree Viper which I do! Definately have to buy a bottle (or two) of this because it's lovely & I think it will age beautifully.
-
I'm looking for the ultimate cold, sugary mint scent that doesn't fade quickly.
Oh and the ultimate light but really sexy scent... though I'm not exactly sure how it'd smell. If that makes sense haha

This is lovely! Like a more ballsy version of the gorgeous light scent of Lush's Amandopondo bubble bar (one of my absolute favorites!). Gorgeous rose and lemon dominates this scent but lurking far behind I can smell the fresh, juicyness of the apple. It's so lovely and fresh and a little like Turkish Delight but this manages to retain elegance whilst being slightly foody. I can't wait to have a bath with Amandopondo and layer the scent with Delirium especially in the Summer. For a fairly light scent this also has good throw. Must get a bottle!
