astrid

Snow Angel was my first choice and I got it! I love this dainty scent!! It's like a fizzy lemon drink that has been sweetened with sugar and has a faint powderishness to it. It's really fun and girlie and will be just fantastic as a summer scent! I can't comment on the throw as I've only had it on my wrists, but it does last even with the small amount that I put on. Beth does such a magical job at bottling moods...this could have easily had the name Gaiety or Frolic!

Baneberry is not one of those uber berry scents like Bordello. It's berry, but light with a hint of greenery. Gentle, but playful, too! I'm not so sure about the herbal part. Maybe a bit, like Lady Macbeth? My skin seems to soak this up so that it's not very powerful. I'd have to ask my husband how much of a throw this has, but I'd say light, unless I doused myself in it. Love the labels on this series!! I also want to add that the 'berry' part reminds me of little wild strawberries!

I was so interested by the description of Lurid, that I *had* to order it and in a 5ml. It arrived today. In the bottle, quite ozone-y! But! Once on, it is so gentle and beautiful! This might be lurid if you spilled the whole bottle on you, but why do that?! It started out as a gentle scent, then the sweetness of the current came out, now it has settled to a very soft sweetness with a hint of lavender and white musk. Really, really lovely! I am so glad I got this one!!!

Being a fan of orchids, I had to try this and ordered a bottle! This is a rather complex scent...floral, in a sultry feminine way while also being soft. I keep getting very gentle hints of sweetness to powder to cinnamon... there's something in here that reminds me of one of my Chaos Theories (from the 1st round) and an old imp of Formula 54 (this imp of F54 was *way* before she released it as an LE). It reminds me of lipstick, the remainder of a scent on a silk scarf and of warm tea. I know strange combination..or not maybe. I do like this and am curious how it will age throughout the day. Really interesting!!

I'll edit this some when I've actually worn it, but in the bottle it smells like delicious butterscotch pudding!! Hubba hubba! This is probably my all time favorite BPAL label, too!

Whoa, I get apples! Just fresh crisp apples from the orchard! Maybe jsut a hint of something woodsy, but definitely apples! How wonderfully lovely! I'm so glad I pulled this from the imp box to try today!

There are many scents that I just can't bring myself to wear during particular seasons...there are scents for the warm sunny weather and scents for the cooler weather such as MiskU! I got this in over the summer but haven't been able to bring myself to wear it until today! Mmm this is rich, delicious coffee fresh on and dries to a lesser coffee scent with hints of warm wood and tobacco. What a wonderful scent this will be for this fall and winter!!

Life Savers! Fuitalicious! Jello! This is *awesome*!!!!!!!!! I only wish I had had this for early in the summer! Now, off to find a fuit basket to wear on my head and some colorful flamenco outfit!!

There really isn't much I can add to all the reivews, except that this is really gentle on me! I'm going to have to slather it on, so it's good I've got a 2nd bottle on the way. I also had to wait to really get all the goodness to come out. Initially on me, it's like any BPAL that has coconut or vanilla in it and it's all sort of "fuddled." Once I give it some time, it truly becomes Midway. What a fun scent this is!!

In the bottle: soft, hard to figure out On: Still hard to figure out...then "Oh crap! Whatthe?! Ew! Stinky! Whattheheck is that smell?!? Ew!!! Smells like rotten cabbages! Get it off!!!!!!" ....and I immediately ran to the bathroom to wash it off, which then left a lovely gentle smell! This is so weird! I have never had a BPAL scent do something so freakishly weird and unexpected as that cabbage smell! But then, the after effect of washing it off, is so nice! Weird, weird, weird! And now, I don't know if I should keep it or not.

Wow! In the bottle and wet on me, it’s rather green! I’m guessing this is the fig leaf. I do get an underscore of something smooth, which is probably the coconut. If this is the fig leaf that I’m smelling, it’s quite potent, yet very pleasant. Dry down: less green, more coconut. Overall, I think some people will adore this. Me, I like it, just maybe not *on* me! I want my husband to try this, cause I think it would be a sexy guy scent! Oh, and this has a really long staying power…

This scent is hilarious!! It really makes me smile! I wasn't sure if I would actually try it on, but said "what the heck" and put some on my wrists. My skin totally soaks this up (Heh, just like my butt soaks up butter! ) and it's nearly immediately gone. Very fun to have as an imp though!!

This is an imp I got, which comes from a CN circle. In the imp, it smells sweet -berryish- but the dry down on me is like Snake Oil! Weird! No cocoa, no lemon, no fig, no pomegranate! I’m wondering if this couldn’t be Snake Charmer? But I’ve been told Snake Charmer is a dark oil, whereas this imp of Freak Show is an almost pinkish color. I have no idea what to think about this other than this is just like Snake Oil, which I’m not very fond of. And if anyone thinks this isn't Freak Show, but something else, by god, PM me and unravel this mystery!!!

See now, this is a scent I wouldn't have bought for myself, but I got an imp of it in my last order and HOLY FREAKING MOLEY it is delicious!! So clean and soothing and bright with a hint of sweet. There's something very similar to Dirty and Roadhouse, but heck if I know what it is. I need a bottle of this..... Yesterday!!

I had to try Muse just because of the Lotus in it! My Muse isn't super limey. I can smell it in the background in the bottle, but my nose is particularly catching the Lotus. On and right before it settles down, I get a little zing of lime and then it goes away to a soft, almost powdery floral. I don't think this will ever be a favorite, despite the lotus in it, but I'm going to see how it develops over time ...on me and in the bottle.

Dirt and berries!! It's like Graveyard Dirt married Bordello or something! How crazy! Though after a few minutes on my skin everything blends really nicely. This is one tripped out scent!

Wow! Honey Moon hardly smells like honey to me! I really can pick up the honey in scents like Alice and The White Rabbit, but here almost nothing! This remains a lovely scent and it reminds me quite a bit of Flower Moon.

I didn't expect this to be so wearable...it is absolutely gorgeous!! Soft, gentle, golden...kinda floral kinda sweet, but just plain beautiful! It's so pretty and enchanting, really like a spell! I don't know what sort of affect it will have, but even if it's only pleasing my nose, I'm thrilled!

Oh yowza! I was thinking it was going to be milky like Alice or White Rabbit is, but not all all (and I do love both those scents)! This is definitely buttered bread/dough, angel/vanilla cake-y goodness! Holy moley! It mixes so well with Flower Moon, too! I can't wait to see how this holds up after a few hours. Hot damn, I think I need more!

Oh, how beautiful and gentle this is! For a split second when I applied Flower Moon, I got a quick whiff of baby's skin, which is a little weird since this one is the "mother" one! It's hard for me to distinguish any note in particular on me, just a lovely floral blend that if it were a color, I'd say it was a soft pale purple. Lovely!! Blends **very nicely** with Milk Moon, too!

I *think* this post goes here.... I've noticed recently that some of the blends I've been getting leave an almost sticky feel on my skin! I've never encountered this with BPAL before and I don't think it has to do with any sort of allergy, but maybe my skin is reacting to an ingredient in the oil in a new way. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm wondering if it's a new carrier or maybe it's me or -geez- I dunno! Any thoughts?

Empyreal Mist bubbles and sparkles as a scent! I love this one so much. It is both soft and bright at the same time. Floral and aquatic... very ethereal! It makes me think of cheerful sprites and spirits. It's hard for me to describe in terms of specific notes...I just don't have the nose for it, unless there's something in it that I truly know. I think if I had to pick a color for it, it's a shimmery aqua blue or a blue/green irridescent...like those gorgeous cross dye silks that I love to sew with! It has a good lasting power, which is really nice!

I wasn't sure I was going to like this scent, but I sure was wrong! It is warm, golden and slightly fruity (mango) and carries itself nicely....in terms of weft and duration. If you get the chance to try this scent, do! Beth honored this charity so beautifully with Corazon and the burning heart label is really nice!

Honeydew at first! Now, a little powdery, but still fruity with melon! I'm finding this much softer than I anticipated, but it's a great summer scent! I wonder what the aging dry down will be........! Such a quirky scent!

Even before reading the other reviews, I put this on and thought "I know this scent..." and realized Hexennacht shares some of the same ingredients as Samhain. This is aging into a gorgeous scent on me. It's funny cause when it came out I thought, "Oh, I'll try it, but I bet I won't like it." Jokes on me! And I'm glad, too!
