    Snow White

    this is a breathtaking, beautiful scent... like snow on fresh flowers. on me, there's a rose and lily note with a layer of coconut and something kind of minty to give it a "cold" feel. it's very feminine and sexy and the scent lasts for hours.

    King of Spades

    i thought i had added my review on this, but i guess i didn't. oops. i dabbed a little bit of this on my hand and liked it at first, but as it dried, it started smelling more "manly". hmm. i don't smell any of the coconut or vanilla whatsoever. it's kind of a spiced plum with something adding a "sharpness" to it. just not me.

    Hecate

    another one that went straight to dove soap on me. almond and i just don't get along

    Port-Au-Prince

    i was really looking forward to trying this scent... and thus was very disappointed when it turned to pure clove on my skin.

    Hollywood Babylon

    what a wonderful blend! it's mostly strawberry and cherry on me with a light layer of vanilla and amber. it has a sweet and somewhat incensey smell. glad i got the 5mL! besides that, it's fun to have a perfume oil with the same name as one of my favorite misfits songs.

    The Red Queen

    lacquered wood with a layer of black cherry and currant... this scent is beautiful! it reminds me of a more "feminine" Cathedral.

    Imp

    mmm... this smells like ripe peaches and patchouli. the amber and musk add a wonderful warmth. great summer scent! like others have said, it's earthy and playful.

    Bluebeard

    this is all vetiver on me with a touch of lavender... it's a very strong, sharp smell. not for me.

    Hell's Belle

    i tested this at the black broom and at first, i loved it. smoky, sweet... kinda creamy with a hint of coconut. after several minutes though, i sniffed it again and the spice had taken over. it ended up not working for me.

    Serpent's Kiss

    i wasn't sure what to think of this in the imp. on skin: whoa, spicy...and sharp. something is making my nose burn and my eyes want to water. it smells interesting, but just isn't going to work for me.

    Depraved

    wet, the patchouli was almost overpowering...i could barely smell the apricot. but on drydown, the apricot became stronger and the blend was really nice. not bad, but there are other patchouli-based scents i like better.

    Spellbound

    i got this imp as a freebie and i'm glad i did! it smells like rose and incense on me... very pretty

    Perversion

    very sensual scent... it's smoky, boozy, and sweet at the same time. it's a fabulous blend and smells good on men and women (my boyfriend and i both fell for it).

    Voodoo

    i tested this one at the black broom... it smelled nice in the bottle, but on me, it went to pine. :/ however, it smelled wonderful on my boyfriend. no fair!

    Intrigue

    on skin, wet: wood...with cocoa and berry. on drydown: mostly cocoa and berry. hmm. i'm not too sure what i think about this one. i'll give it another try before i decide to keep it or put it in the swap pile. edit: after another try, i've decided i really like this smell. it's like woods and berries with a bit of chocolate.

    Hemlock

    on skin, wet: OMG, pine! super pine! on drydown: the pine mellows and i get a fresh "green" scent. hmm. this is kinda nice, but just not me. i think it would smell good on a guy.

    Namaste

    i wanted to love this scent, but it went straight a lemon pledge smell on me. all of the other notes hid beneath it. :/

    Grog

    mmm..butterscotch and rum. this smells delicious. i keep wanting to lick my arm

    Scherezade

    i fell in love with this scent the minute it hit my skin. sensual, spicy, and with an incense note (i love incense smells)...it's just wonderful. i had no problem deciding to purchase a 5mL. my mom says it kind of reminds of tabu perfume, but i don't make the association.

    Leanan Sidhe

    this didn't agree with me at all... it turned to a very powdery floral on me and i also got the "soapiness" others have mentioned.

    Nag Champa scent in a BPAL blend?

    thanks for the suggestions! i have an imp of gaueko..and i like it, but i wanted something that had a stronger nag champa smell. while on vacation last week, we went to the black broom and i tried out scherezade...and ended up buying the 5mL. it's wonderful! i'll look into getting a hold of urd and cairo.

    Hearth

    this smells like sweet cherry pipe tobacco with just the faintest hint of smoke and leather. i absolutely LOVE it. it's a very comforting smell and takes me back to certain childhood winters...
  23. girlmadasbirds

    Hellfire

    hmm. i don't smell the tobacco or incense in this.. it's all musk and leather on me. :/ don't see myself really ever wearing this. might smell great on a guy though.

    Baron Samedi

    this had such a sweet rummy scent in the imp, but on me... 100% clove. i forwarded it on to someone to try.

    Gaueko

    The Basque God of Night and all the perils of the darkness. Though he is the God of the Danger that Lurks in the Gloom, he is kind to men and warns them against the nighttime hazards and sets rules of conduct for both the living and the dead as they travel through his domain. It is said that since the warm, vibrant daylight is for the living, the abodes of night are reserved for the dead. All who heed his counsel are protected, but woe be to any man that disobeys the laws of Gaueko: he is swift to punish those that would scorn his advice. Blackened sandalwood and misty lavender, with curling wisps of smoky tobacco, nag champa, and labdanum. the nag champa really shows itself on me..so much so, that i can barely make out the other notes. after several minutes, i started to smell a very faint hint of the lavendar and sandalwood. i adore this scent and i think i may have to add it to my "buy the big bottle" list.
