Not a wishlist! If you've stumbled across this, please ignore; these are not ISO's, just notes to myself regarding scents I intend to order in the future, test at local BPAL meet ups, or will one day go hunting for in the sales/swaps forum.
LATEST UPDATE: April 17, 2016 March 10, 2021. Listed alphabetically and, where possible, by sub-category. Use ctrl+ F to find a specific scent. [**] indicates a priority.
Notes that typically work: apple, vanilla, fig, amber, lavender, violet, tea, moss, vetiver, or wood notes.
Notes that have started behaving well: red and white musks, most roses, stone fruits, engine oils.
Notes to avoid: lotus, wine/alcohol, anything 'skin' (including skin musk), 'blood' notes, balsam, bay.
Allergies and reactions: cinnamon (extreme irritation), lemon/lemon balm (migraine trigger).

LATEST UPDATE: Jan 6, 2022.
Alphabetical by category, then name (hierarchy = LE - GC - BPTP). Use ctrl+ F to find a specific review. Discontinued general catalogue scents are listed under their original categories and indicated by a [*D] notation (some remain listed under the subheading 'discontinued' and will be moved to the correct group eventually). Scents preceded by a double asterisk [**] are ISO's to be migrated to my wishlist when I have the time.
Most of my reviews use a five star rating system (★ - ★★★★★), which incorporates half stars where necessary (½). A general - but not always exact - guide to my ratings is as follows:
★★★★★: Beloved favourite, will always keep 1 or more bottles where possible
★★★★½: Love, will always keep an imp where possible
★★★★: Like a lot, would recommend, will rotate with other regular scents
★★★½: Like, would recommend, would consider repurchase
★★★: Like, but do not find original or imaginative, probably wouldn't repurchase
★★½: Ambivalent, would not recommend or repurchase
★★: Dislike, would not recommend or repurchase
★½: Strongly dislike, would not recommend or repurchase
★: Unwearable, washed off immediately
