I bought a Wood Wick candle that is lavender and copal, and it smells JUST LIKE TKO! Yum!

All the honeysuckle bushes in my part of the world are in bloom right now and it smells soooooo good. I'm looking for a BPAL that has honeysuckle in it and doesn't deviate too much from just honeysuckle.

Hmmm, I have a bottle of Coral Snake that I've never used yet, I think I'll compare tonight. Thanks for the input everyone! If anyone else has any ideas for what it could be, let me know. *goes off to cry in the corner*

I bought this imp off LJ or eBay, I can't remember anymore. I've had it for a while, and decided to put it on eBay because it just isn't for me. And here comes my problem..... Someone contacted me on eBay and asked why it was in a decanted imp, and why it was red. As for the imp, I figured maybe someone had several and poured them together. Something I've done myself. I didn't give the label much thought, maybe it got ruined or the original owner thought their handmade label looked better. As for color, I've never had Anaconda, so I have no idea what color it is. I should've read the reviews before I bought the imp. Although as a rule, I never research the rare imp before buying it - I just plunge in and snap it up! Woo hoo! A rare! I canceled my eBay auction, because now I'm paranoid! Would you guys please take a look at the imp and give me your opinion? I wish the screen was a scratch and sniff. It smells like spicy Snake Oil, with a whiff of zesty lemon undertone.

OMG, what is WRONG with my skin? This smells like burnt hair. I wish I got cookie, bake shop, cinnamon, yum yum but I get burnt hair, and it's giving me a headache. I seriously can't believe how rank this is. Damnit! I wanted sugar cookies!

Soul sister of the Ace of Cups in the tarot, this is the Primordial energy of Water: the Heart, emotional release and receptivity, intuition, fertility, and the forces of love, beauty, pleasure and happiness. Purest white lotus, white rose, rain orchid, rose gardenia, freesia, and Bulgarian rose. Delicious underlying tone of white florals, marred by gardenia. I'm hoping gardenia will take a back seat and allow the rest to shine through. still hoping....

Hyssop? Lilac? What's the STRONG smell I'm getting from this? And what the hell is Tonka, anyway? I always snap up blends with "tonka" and most times, it smells like funk on me. This is super strong, and I'm thinking it'll headache me before it leaves me. Swap!

This is white! A smidge of pine. A slight background of Snow White. Florals, although not anything I'm overly familiar with. I'll keep an imp of this, but otherwise, I think it's a swapper.

It's the juniper. Minus that, it'd be perfect. But the juniper is just overwhelming. I hate juniper.

In a nursing home, in a patient's room, the smell of old Ben Gay. Maybe generic Ben Gay. If you've worked in healthcare, you know there's a slight difference! Pepper. Kind of reminds me of a box of Christmas ribbon candy - you know when you open the box and you get a full whiff of every flavor? That's what this smells like. Icky-wicky. Not for me.

Dear Lune Noire, What's wrong with you? You smell so luscious in the bottle, then you turn to pencil shavings and flowers on me. And not the good kinds of flowers. You smell like grocery store flowers. You need to move it on out. Please leave your key on the dresser, get your dirty underwear and take a hike. Signed, Left Arm

Another mint that works on me! And there are just a slim few that do. This is SOOOOO good! It has a perfumey smell, with just a tiny sliver of mint. A deep and layered scent. It's almost as if each component gets a chance to have it's moment all while I'm sniffing it in.

Sweet. Citrus with an overlay of mild forest. A small pinch of powder in the background. This is a dark horse for me! Normally I don't like anything. with. pine. It is icky on my skin. And in the bottle, this is way too strong a melange of floral and pine. But on, it's muted citrus with a sparkle of pine. Love it!

Sea of Tranquility, you smell like green plant shoots and old, dirty pickles. Yuck!

This smells really, really good. Although none of the notes in the description really jump out and grab me, it did go on rather strong. Luckily, after about 15 mins. it died down to a delicious autumn powder. I'm so glad I re-tried this blend!

This is one of those blends that I can't bring myself to actually put on. To me, it smells like Lunar Eclipse (which to me, was revolting) dusted with cocoa. Which isn't really possible, because cocoa isn't in the descrip. This is a no go for me.

white musk, light anise, slight grapefruit, some type of asain fruit. That's what I got. Anyone else?

I had tried CB when I first got in to BPAL in 2007. Back then I didn't like it. But now that I've developed my nose, it's fabulous! Smells like Bliss and Antique Lace. Yum!

I originally didn't buy this because of the 2 alcohol notes but I found a bottle somewhere (ebay maybe?). So I thought, oh what the heck, I'll try it. And it's good stuff! Strong and spicy with a hint of Snake Oil. Lasted overnight on my skin - which is always a plus.

Dia is like Snow White's teenage big brother. There's the scent of whatever's the primary scent in Snow White with a slow undercurrent of something masculine. ADDED March 21: All the components look good....oakmoss may be too much for me. I'm going to keep this with the sole intention of aging it. It's a bit celery-ish on me atm.

It's that damn plumeria. I knew when I saw plumeria in the desciption that it could be a problem, but the other notes are soooo perfect! Natch the blend of all the florals was horrid on my skin. It smelled like Playtex Gentle Glide Deodorant Tampons. The kind I used back when I was in high school. TMI? Maybe. I was really hoping this would TAME DOWN over time, but sadly it hung on with a vengence. ADDED March 21: I don't like this, it smells like rose soap. Kind of old fashioned for me.

Creamy melon. I usually hate anything and everything melon, but I found myself sniffing my wrist constantly last night! Really nice blend, although I don't think I'll keep my bottle. An imp would be enough.

With each sniff of my forearm I get the distinct scents of rice, plum, vanilla and spice. And that's very nice, but I'm not so sure this is well suited for me to wear. Maybe to scent the room in a tart burner, though.

I really really love this one. It's like expensive plummy incense. Very smokey. It reminds me of the Grateful Dead. I know, that's weird. But it does! And yes, I'm actually old enough to have seen them in concert.

The thing is, when I bought this, I read "vanilla blah blah and orange blah blah". So I was surprised that it didn't smell like vanilla orange! Then I re-read the description, and it is exactly what it sounds like. It fades super fast into a dusty amber, which is ok, but a very autumn scent.
