    The Snow Storm

    I get severe headaches. This is cold and clear and everything I hoped it would be. Some great spruce/fir scents come too close to Pine-Sol; this one is sharp and crisp and wintry but with enough floral to make it a perfume rather than a single scent. Think a single white crocus pushing through the snow under an old pine tree. I think I'll order another bottle before the LE is over.

    Cold Moon

    This is the first BPAL I've had the courage to buy blind, without getting an imp first. I'm so glad I did. I don't have the sophisticated nose many of you have. To me, Cold Moon has a white-flower base, but it's prickly to the nose. It makes me think of fir boughs under snow. It's a lovely winter scent, and I'm glad I took the risk.

    Rose Red

    Unlike any other rose perfume I've loved. Before this, my favorite was Yves San Laurent Paris. Paris is shooting for a very different effect-- pure rose blossoms, drowning in the petals and nothing but. Rose Red is the whole rose, green leaves included. It goes on fresh. I asked my husband to sniff it, and he said "Very complex." On my skin, alas, it's fugitive -- no more than a couple of hours. I really, really wish I'd bought two bottles. Add this one to the year-round list, please! ADDED Feb. 17: My officemate walked into my office, sniffed, and said "Are there fresh roses here somewhere?" I had to work to convince him that no, it was my perfume; the illusion is that convincing. Oh, please, please make this scent a regular.

    Jabberwocky

    On my skin, this was eucalyptus and nothing else. I like the smell of eucalyptus trees after a rain, when they've dropped branches and leaves, but on my skin it's too intense.
