Any BPAL suggestions for Joy Of Jelly? I searched the thread and only found one comparison 2 years ago, and wondering if anyone had any other suggestions

Very soft and pretty. The scent of peach blossom is strong, but I can also smell fresh, white flowers as well. It's very nice, I'm glad I got this as a frimp or I would have never tried it!

A lot of the notes are new to me, but what I smell is a sweet, slightly fruity scent with a woodsy undertone so it's not too sweet. I'm not sure what champaca smells like, but after looking it up I think that's what I smell the most. Lune Noir is one of my favorites, and love it so much I have a backup bottle so I can slather away

I wore Sticky Pillowcase on one wrist and Samhain '07 on the other for Halloween. I was dressed up as a sugar skull, but unfortunately don't have a bottle of it so I made do. Together, I smelled like trick-or-treating

When first applied, it smells faintly of cake (like others mentioned) before it turned into a dark woodsy note that reminds me of Azathoth. Either way, not for me

@lunaticana: You're welcome! I just uploaded some individual photos that I took the same day and posted them on my flickr-- http://flickr.com/photos/policyoftruth No, thank you for creating such lovely art for the labels

Here's a photo of 2 of the Weenies + Lune Noir (:

Belle Époque? I always call it "the French one" so I don't sound ridiculous trying to pronounce it

I'm cosplaying Mikami as part of a Deathnote group for Momocon. Any ideas? (tbh I haven't watched the series yet, though my friend lent me burned DVDs with all the eps )

I got a sample of L'Artisian's Ananas Fizz a year or so ago and really liked it. Are there any BPAL equivalents? Ananas Fizz- pineapple, citrus essence (lemon rind, bitter orange, bergamot and pink grapefruit), pure rum, cedar, precious woods, cocoa milk, lychee sap, vanilla

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but does anyone else's nose sting when sniffing Skuld? I think it's the labdanum, because I have no issues with the ylang ylang, honey or musk. It makes my nose feel as if every pore is closing up, and that makes me sad

Thanks to the lab for the frimp! When I first got Come To Me, it was much sharper smelling and much more herbally. I've had the imp for over a month now, and there are some slight differences. There is still the herbal, but there is a soapy note as well. Not a bad thing, it smells like a fresh bar of soap. There is something that smells almost nostalgic, too. I just can't place it. One of the last times I wore it, my friend told me I smelled really good. Or, as she put it, "In a totally straight way, you smell really fucking good" After a while I start to smell like freshly showered skin. Warm, clean and fresh.

In the imp- Something sweet, and lavender Wet- I can smell the tea now. With sugar and milk, mmm. Dry- I put Dorian all over myself this morning, and from what I remember, sniffing my wrist was like putting my nose to a cooling cup of good tea, with a mix of lavender and something else I can't put my finger on. Or rather, nose I've worn it since almost 9 this morning (7:30 PM now) and I can still smell it faintly. My sister was next to me in class today and said she could smell it really well, but not in an overpowering way. That's a good sign, since the last time I made her sniff it, she said it smelled like "old man" Wearing Dorian makes me feel pretty It's one of my favorites so far, and a big bottle is on my Christmas list now.

In the bottle: FIR. Wet: FIR AND PATCHOULI Dry: " " After an hour: " " It's like patchouli and I are battling and I'm losing-- it's all I can smell. I put Samhain on a q-tip to see if any of the pumpkin and spices that I so dearly wanted would come out, but it sadly hasn't I still want to hold on to it and see how it ages. 1/15/08- Aging definitely helps! The fir is still present, but the patchouli takes a backseat (which is great, as I hate patchouli.) It's spicy pumpkin and damp leaves and I love it. Even better, I've received a compliment while wearing it 4/5, will buy again!

In imp: A very tart pomegranate Wet: Straight up rose Right now (10+ minutes): A fresh rose! So pretty! I really like this. It smells like this nice bar of rose soap I got at Target once. Very fresh and clean. On my twin, you can slightly smell the pomegranate, but it's not showing up on me at all.
