I didn't post after the Carnaval Diabolique update because I wanted to wait for Chrysanthemum Moon to place an order. So now that Chrysanthemum Moon is up: HOLY CRAP! What a great update! I'm truly blown away by the size and scope of CD, and that there are more scents over the next year to look forward to. The art! The descriptions! The potential wonderful smellies!

I didn't think I'd like Chrysanthemum Moon, but sure enough I read the description (linking to CD, natch) and decided to go for it. I also ordered bottles of F5 and Mme. Moriarty. CDs I would like to try in upcoming orders:

Carnaval Diabolique -- what the heck will opium smoke smell like?

Gennivre -- I haven't tried much of the tea blends, and this sounds nice

Midnight on the Midway -- sugared incense?? This I gotta try!

Xanthe -- this might go on the back-burner just because of all the fruit. I love the fruity blends, but more so when they're paired with something dark or boozy (like Perversion or Bordello)

And the GC additions were great! I want to try:

Caliban -- ugh, it's been so hot here and I've really been trying to find a nice summery fun blend to wear, as most of my BPAL bottles are dark and brooding. So salty seas, wine and tropical ferns sound great

Cockaigne -- milk, honey, sweet cakes and wine? Yes please!

Death of the Gravedigger -- snow and soil sound intriguing

Les Bijoux -- skin musk and honey? Yum!

Lyonesse -- so many favorite ingredients, like vanilla and amber and musk, but with sea moss added? Weird and cool!

Port Royal -- see above re: summery scent
