I don't have too many of them, but I do like No. 93 Engine:Beeswax candles reflect flickering light onto a brass-coated boiler engraved with the words "Solve Et Coagula". The gargantuan boiler sends torrents of steam into rigid pipes that exert force onto innumerable pistons and turbine blades. The motion is harnessed to propel energy into gargantuan cogs and gears that move liquid metals, herbs, and resins into a series of alembics. Balm of Gilead, benzoin, frankincense, balsam of peru, beeswax, saffron, galbanum, calamus, hyssop, mastic, lemon balm, and white sage. I think because saffron is not in the beginning ingredients, has frankincense, beeswax and the rest of the herbs which help keep the smell of the saffron down.

CHAOS THEORY IV: CMLXXX Scent from the bottle: I smell possibly Valerian and sour candies. Wet on my arm: I smell mostly sour candies. 20 mins. later: All I can smell is smoke and a faint smell of sour candies. Hour and 1/2 later: Can barely smell it at all, almost gone. Last reviewed by rayvn1.

CHAOS THEORY II: The Butterfly Effect CCXXV - No description At first sniff out of the bottle I smell allspice, cinnamon, a sweet note, could be vanilla. This is a sweet, spicy smelling scent. Beautiful. Wet on my arm, the first thing I smell is a smoky sweet amber. The cinnamon distinction that I smelled before has merged into this smell. Or my nose is getting use to it, lol. 30 minutes later: I smell a sweet mellow amber. I absolutely love it and am so glad I purchased the bottle. Previously reviewed by slave1.

Similarities Between BPAL Scents - GC and general discussion

I was reading the thread the other day and was reading that some of you thought Lust and Vixen were almost pretty much the same. So I put one on each wrist to check them out on me. I found that the Lust is much more complex on me than the Vixen is. It was like I could keep on smelling Lust and notice all these different notes in it that made me want to keep smelling it. The Vixen seemed to just be like a vanilla all the way through. Did anyone else get that?
