    In Vial: A little strange and fruity Wet:There is so much to smell in this one but it is coming out all floral! and it's getting worse. Now it is a headache inducing floral. Too bad!

    Fae

    In Vial: lovely soft and mildly sweet Wet: Haven't smelled a bpal that smells quite like this. I smell a hint of lemon, but nothing sharp or citrusy. It just occurred to me that this smells like a lemon sugar cookie with a hint of florals in the background. Drydown: This is just lovely. The florals come out more and keep this from smelling foody but there is definately the scent of sweet lemon sugar cookies. Its like a sugary lemon perfume. This is awesome!

    Neo-Tokyo

    In Vial: Fruit and soap Wet: This is really soapy. Burns the inside of my nose. Drydown: Cirtrus and soap, a bit powdery. This is leaning towards baby powder.

    Night-Gaunt

    In vial:Bitter grapefruit Wet: I can smell the yuzu and oh I am in love. Dry: This has become very complex, deeper, richer and darker. I preferred the lighter scent from when it was wet.

    Moana

    I love aquatics and that is the main reason I decided to try this. It was not what I was expecting. It smells perfumey to me and does not have the usual aquatic scent that I have come to love from bpal. Therefore, I imagine that many aquatic non-lovers will like this blend. So if you say you don't like aquatics, give this blend a try. For me personally I did not love it.

    The Hamptons

    In Vial:fruity sweet and lemon household cleaner Wet: This smells like a fizzy cherry soda. Now its moving more towards cherry kool-aid. And that is where it has stayed.

    Cthulhu

    In Vial: sweeter than I expected, a bit perfumey. Wet: This smells like someone "fresh out of the shower" , leaning towards masculine a tiny bit. I like water scents but this is a bit too strong for me, more than most aquatics. Dry: This has softened thankfully and smells more like the bpal aquatics I am use to. This is not salty like many of them, and sweeter.

    The Coil

    Calling all mint Lovers!! In Vial: The most wonderful light mint. Wet:Very crisp. This mint mixed with the ozone gives this a crispness rather than smelling "minty". There is something else in the background that I wish I could identify but This blend is incredible. This also smells a little bit like mint gum but not as sweet. If you love mint you MUST give this a try!! If I were on an island and i could only take one blend with me, THIS would be the ONE!

    Ether

    In Vial Fresh fruits with something industrial Wet: Wonderful fresh fruit but also something "grey" smelling in the backdrop that serves to ground the scent. Drydown: This dries quickly and becomes faint. Smells like a soft perfume - sweet, girlie, youthful.

    Aelopile

    In Vial: Lemon and root Wet: Smells like lemon candy but stronger and woodsy. There is a background scent of something vanilla. Drydown: When I was a little girl my Grandmother use to make sassafrass tea for me from the bark. This scent, to me, smells like that tea with the addition of honey and lemon.

    Galvanic Goggles

    In vial: masculine and sexy wet: strong mens cologne. Smells like a sophistocated man. Incredibly sexy, alluring and any other adjective you can think of. I cannot stop smelling my wrist. Incredible. drydown:This is not quite as strong now but still sexy and so appealing. I'm not good with notes so I cannot be descriptive about them in this blend. This is one of the best masculine blends I have ever smelled!!

    Nocnitsa

    In Vial: pine and moss Wet: Pine, and a sweetness that is very nice. Dry: sweet pine and dirt. This is too manly and outdoorsy for me, but its not bad.

    Elegba

    In Vial: coconut Wet:coconut and vanilla. Smells kind of like suntan lotion but more sophisticated. If this dries well, then I've fallen in love! As it dries I'm smelling more of the tobacco. Dry: Darn, darn, darn the coconut is gone and its mostly tobacco with sugar. While I like tobacco, I was really hoping this would be a good coconut scent.

    The Antikythera Mechanism

    In Vial: Wet wood Wet: Now I'm beginning to smell the vanilla and tobacco mixed in with the wet wood. While I like the vanilla and tobacco in this I do not like the teak and oak with it. This smells a lot like toilet cleaner and vanilla. Dry: Now we are back to wood and vanilla.

    Sol Invictus

    In Vial: Fir trees Wet: Very outdoorsy with the hint of something sweet. I know there is a lot of orange in this but I don't smell any of it.

    The Lurid Library

    The incense-tinged scent of forbidden tomes and the musk-laden remnants of infernal servants. In Vial: Ajax! seriously Wet: smells like a cleaning product, but I kind of like it. Dry: I don't know what to think about this one. I have honestly never smelled anything like it before.

    Hecate

    Magnificent three-faced Goddess of Magic, the Dark Moon and the Crossroads. She is the Mother of Witches, and the midnight baying of hounds is her paean. Her compassion is evidenced in her role as Psychopomp for Persephone, and her wrath manifests as Medea’s revenge. Deep, buttery almond layered over myrrh and dark musk. In Vial: Bitter almond and berries Wet: Strong almond and cherries. Something powdery comming. Dry:Getting a touch of clove. Still getting baby powder.
