When I sprayed it, I thought, "creamy -- pumpkin, creamy pumpkin." And then I thought "hm, strong, too much" -- you only need one spray with this stuff, apparently (unlike commercial stuff where you always need at least two). I smell nummy, though. It's pumpkin with a bit of caramel cream and something that smells a lot like Antique Lace.

Seismo: Hm. Metal Phoenix layered with Lady of Lake Ronkonkoma? That would be a good metal + water, maybe.

Y'know, I thought I was going to hate this, but I decided to test it anyway ... and it's spot-on. It's a dungeon. It's the smell of the Madame Tussaud's dungeon of horrors exhibit, or of an old castle, or the Canterbury Tales attraction in Canterbury, England -- wet stone, dirt and stale smoke. It's really, really evocative, and I might have to hang onto some of this just 'cause it reminds me of when I went to England.

In the bottle: Dishsoap, but a bright, clean dishsoap, not heavy and sticky. Wet: Laundry? It's clean like laundry, like line-dried laundry. Dried: A surprisingly sweet and fresh smell, like fresh air.

In the bottle: A pond, clear water with fresh greenery nearby. Wet: A pond, mixed with the smell of my yoga mat (which isn't a bad smell, but it is unexpected here). Dried: The yoga mat's gone. It's a clear, flowing stream. Definitely the nicest aquatic BPAL I've smelled yet.

In the bottle: ... rubbing alcohol??? It smells sort of like my doctor's office smelled when I was a kid, but with something sharply green layered on top. Wet: Oh lord... rubbing alcohol and feet, stinky feet. Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff. Dried (I stuck with it, just to see): Someone with smelly feet is walking barefoot through the perfume section of a department store. Eew.

In the bottle: A pile of root beer Dum-Dums, sitting next to an open bottle of Smut. Wet: Smut-y, very Smut-y, but without the booziness. Dried: Peanut Smut. I've heard of red musk going peanut-y on people before, but Smut doesn't go that way on me. Apparently, this one does.

In the bottle: Earthy, but not heavy. Dirt and gravel and brush sounds about right. On the skin: Oh my gawd. It's a toilet. Literally. Like, go take a whiff of your toilet -- a little porcelain, a little stale water, maybe some hard-water minerals crusted under the rim, a trace of used-up toilet tablet. Wow, this one hates me hardcore, apparently.

Leaves. REAL leaves. Nothing vetiver-y here -- just the pure, true scent of a pile of autumn leaves. Wonderfully evocative.

This doesn't smell like marshmallow to me. What it smells like is the most HEAVENLY spiced pumpkin EVER, better than Pumpkin V, better than anything I've yet smelled! I had to buy a bottle.

NYCC exclusives:

Wow. This stuff smells like ass. Actually, it smells like a much-used barstool -- some sweet and liquor-y smells from spilled drinks, some artificial smoke from the dance floor, and a bunch of people's sweaty butts. Clearly, this is my olfactory arch-nemesis, my anti-scent.

The color is pretty, but it's really sheer and doesn't seem to dry well -- even when I waited an hour or more between coats (and many hours afterward), it never dried properly and ended up getting smushed by my shoes and socks.

This smells like a bathroom on me. It's a clean bathroom, with air fresheners and new rolls of toilet paper, but it's still a bathroom. Bummer.

To my nose, this smells like a berry bush, maybe acai or something like that, but it's buried under a thick blanket of fog -- it's a very soft and white-smelling scent, with a hint of berry-like sweetness. Lovely.

The problem with going through my imp backlog is the amount of awesome scents I find. This one's great! Or should I say "grape!" the fruitiness comes across to me as grape-and-something, grape but not just grape. It's really nice and fruity.

Oh, lovely! This starts out as a berry that's almost grape, mixed with a sweetness that's almost like honey but not quite. On the drydown, it's sweet and slightly powdery and a bit fruity. Really, really nice. Might need a bottle before these ladies go away.

Anyone got pics of the Underworld Cup bottles, by any chance?

Commemorating our Black-Ribbon Award Winning Pie Filling, named Best in Show at the Celephaïs County Fair six-hundred years in a row! Plucked from the highest mountaintops of Leng, our desiccated frostberries have been certified organic by the Dreamlands Department for Environmental Concerns, Slaughter Regulation, and Sacrificial Affairs. Ooh, lovely! It's like Blackberry Jam and Scones, but without the buttery pastry part and with some teeny bit of floral-y complexity underneath.

This smells like coconut sunblock, like Hawaiian Tropic, if it was perfume -- it's a perfumey sunblock, sunblock with tropical flowers. Pretty nice, and not icy at all (thank goodness).

This has a spicy smokiness that's a lot like Joloumuori. It also smells a lot like Yankee Candle's Moonlight Harvest. I may need a bottle.

This smells like a shampoo I used when I was little... I think it was called "strawberry rain" or something like that. I like it, 'cause it's light and pink-fruity and 'cause it's a little nostalgic for me.

Rose rose rose rose... of course, I amp rose, so I sort of expected that. It's very Victorian, though, with all that rose, very evocative.

Ooh, nice! This is like Schrodinger's Cat, but brighter -- like if that and Orange Phoenix had a baby. Yum!

Hey, this smells like Cream Soda, SARSPARILLA! ... hey, where'd it go? I got a few quick waves of awesome, but now, you have to go nose-to-skin to smell it. It's still really nice, though, subtle and sweet and awesome.
