This is really pretty and dark. I'm getting mostly night blooming flowers with some woodmoss. It reminds me a lot of Lune Noire.

I got a bottle of Boo right away, thinking I'd love it. But it took a little getting used to. It's pretty and sweet and clean...there's a slight plastic impression I get from what's supposed to be the "cream"...but it seems to tone down a bit after drydown. It's gotten smoother and better with a little aging... In short, I didn't like Boo at first but it's really grown on me. Might even need a few backup bottles.

I like this one. Violet and wisteria is a good combination.

This reminds me a lot of Absinthe without the anise. It's pretty and I think lemon lovers will roll their eyes in scent ecstasy, haha.

This smells really good to me. It's fairly true to the lab description, being sweet, spicey, floral, and fruity.

I can't describe or pick out this swirl of notes, but oh hey, there's the hot metal again. That's going to become a deal breaker for me. Sigh.

Burnished gold and oiled bronze notes with Abramelin incense and sage. I like the sage and herbal-ish quality, but there's that distinct hot metal note in here that rather bothers me. Pass. edited to add lab description.

Citrusy light florals, like fresh laundry.

Orange blossom and leather with a hint of amber. Nomnomnomnomnomnomnom.

This is lovely. Such a simple combination of fruits and ambers, but it makes my nose so freakin happy.

I like this one! Wet it's a blast of almond, which I love, but almond never seems to last ...and then it dries down to a lovely intense cinnamon. In Chimera and Bengal the cinnamon was watered down and colorless, but the cinnamon of Inferno is red hot and spicy. Yum.

This is a lovely strong note of cedar and something slightly herbal-y. If you like smelling like fresh wood you'll love this one

This one smells like my brother's cologne-like shaving cream, and kind of soapy to boot. Pass.

A lot of times the "white" scents give me headaches when some note is too distinct, sharp, or powdery...but in this one, everything's perfectly balanced. It's what I expected Endymion to be, and while it's similar, Endy aint got nothing on this sleeping beauty! Pear and gorgeous white florals. Booooottle please

This is straightforward - dragon's blood with the grounded edge of musk. It's a good combination.

Powerful, commanding, blazing with strength. I love the Dragon's Blood notes in BPAL, and this one is no exception. The best way I've heard it described is fruity lilacs. Somehow I can't get enough of it. edited to add lab description.

Lovely fresh cedar and lemon with a slight hint of patchouli.

Mints and anise and lemons. Mmm. There's the barest hint of something that smells like those licorice candies, must be the anise.

I love how fresh and white this smells. Wisteria is a winner.

I like this a lot. Apple and rose make a good combination, whatever lemon might be in there is so subdued I don't notice it. Sniffing it makes me feel heady..<3 the character Delirium.

The embodiment of Classic masculinity. A warrior's scent: the green hills and grasses of the battlefields, the resinous incense from the prayers to his Gods, and a touch of the musky leather of his armor. Ambergris and frankincense with sage, and basil. This smells very masculine and fresh. A lot like Old Spice, imo. edited to include lab description.

In the imp this smells like wine. Dry, it's flowers and myrrh with a bit of honey.

Wet, pure almond. Dry, a sweet honeyed incense-amber. It's like a more elegant Sed Non Satiata.

This was mostly incense on my skin till the drydown, after which it developed a rather pretty cedar/paper-ish note and the leather became more recognizable. It strikes me as a rather masculine scent and isn't really my style.

I don't how to describe this, or pick out the individual notes. But it's evocative of an endless, scorched desert..acres of sand..and a wisp of cinnamon incense. That's what Sunbird smells like to me.
