    Blood Kiss

    This is very complicated. Since putting it on it has morphed through many different scent combinations. It seems to have settled on a very sharp medicinal honey - actually very similar to a homemade hot lemon and honey. interesting.

    Love Me

    Love me reminds me very much of Sin, it must be the cinnamon - always reminds me of karvol (inhaled decongestant with camphor). As a result it is very comforting for me. Doesn't really change much from wet to dry, and I see why others are picking up coca cola! It is yummy, although I'm torn over whether i want to smell like this. hmmm.

    The Star

    I'm a big coconut fan, so I had high hopes for this. On first sniff I got assaulted by mint - it was extremely strong and I couldn't face trying it so put the imp to one side. A few weeks later I tried again and this time persevered through the mint - on my skin I could pick out more lime and maybe coconut in the background. On drying the coconut becomes more prominent, but on a lovely cool fresh background. After an hour or so I love this scent as the coconut picks up and loses the mint to become sweeter. I have had more compliments wearing the star than any other bpal I've tried. I now have only a few drops left of my imp and I will be getting a big bottle with my next order, I have become totally addicted and now even love the minty beginning!

    Sin

    This is lovely and warm, and oddly comforting to me - very reminiscent of something I couldn't place for ages and have just realised - it smells to me of karvol, the decongestant drops - camphor is the main ingredient I think. I can't stop sniffing. yum.

    Belladonna

    I really can't make up my mind about belladonna. At first sniff I get a very green, sharp, piney eucalyptus scent, not unpleasant but not really something I want to smell like. On me the medicinal smell doesn't last long at all, and settles into something I can't find the right words for - it is a sweet-powdery-plant smell which I keep sniffing. There is almost a hint of honey but not quite. It does fade very quickly on me - only the faintest trace left after an hour. I think I'll have to give this one a few more goes.

    Roadhouse

    I also got this as a freebie with my last order, and would not have picked it myself based on the description but I'm so glad the lab sent it to me! In the bottle the smell to me is loud, green, sweet and of crisp apples -(I've never smelt a dandelion so my nose says green apple) On me the scent stays very true, apples all the way, but then softens down and I pick up the hops and a sweet smoky smell. This is fantastic - my favourite bpal so far

    Black Pearl

    First sniff - this smells sweet but not overwhelming, if I concentrate I can make out the coconut and hazelnut but only for a moment. To me this is a very comforting smell, like a warm pudding on a cold winters day. On me - It took me a while to work out why this scent was so familiar - then I realised that it smells exactly like palma violets. Nice, but not quite what I was hoping for. Strangely though, as I wore this the violets faded and I caught glimpses of the coconut and hazelnut again. This lasted 4 hours on me, but was a very gentle scent for most of that. Overall it is lovely, and I will be gettting a big bottle. xx
