Juicy, red, and so very bright! It’s one of my favorite of the fruit blends. Imagine a perfect, ripe pomegranate and the wettest, sweetest rose you’ve ever smelled rolled into one.

This is a poignant aquatic blend, and the name is profoundly appropriate. It has a tangible sadness to it, like memories of lost love and regret.

Crisp, clean, fresh and invigorating! This perfume reminds me of the scent of every spa that I have had the pleasure of visiting. It is a bright, cooling scent that will be even more valuable to me once summertime rolls around.

This scent is identical to a bottle of Un Emile absinthe that I picked up while on holiday in Spain. It brought back some very happy memories. A light, green, slightly licorice scent. Excellent for daytime wear or a quiet cocktail party.

No Boo Hiss from me. I think Absinthe is a love-it-or-leave-it scent.

I love this scent. For me, it was the perfected tea rose. Normally I find rose perfumes to be too cloying and almost sickly. Old London was a dry, light, crisp rose. Subtle and sophisticated, and very feminine.

An invigorating, festive and bright scent! It truly captures the joy of the holiday season, without resorting to "traditional" Christmas scents. Beautiful!

A lovely, soft, very ethereal floral. The best word to describe it would be "otherworldly". Almost like gossamer in a bottle. Feminine and mysterious, it put me in mind of the fairy folk in "Mists of Avalon".

I love this scent so much, I honestly want to start a petition to bring it back! This perfume is a simply the embodiment of a perfect autumn evening. This is one of my favorite perfumes.

I didn't think the notes would be very "me" when I first read the description on the BPAL site, but I'm always willing to give Black Phoenix scents a try. I'm so glad I did! Delight is a lovely floral with a beautiful, powdery drydown. It is gentle and feminine and while it is lovely on its own, it layers gorgeously with their single note Carnation or Amber.

The men’s answer to the sadomasochistic sexiness of Loviatar. It’s embarrassing to admit what a turn-on this scent is. Next romantic evening with the husband, he’s wearing this one for sure!

A juicy, ripe red scent, very luscious and fruity, with just a hint of herbal green and sweet red wine. One of my all-time favorites!
