    Nag Champa scent in a BPAL blend?

    i love the smell of nag champa incense. are there any bpal scents that smell like it? i've tried gaueko..and while i like it, i'd like something that smells as close to *just* nag champa as possible (without too many other notes). thanks!

    High John the Conqueror

    this reminds of an almond lotion with a grapey scent to it. it isn't totally unpleasant, but it's not something i'd wear for the smell either. i'm curious as to how it may work though.

    The Lion

    a gorgeous, spicy amber smell with notes that smell like cream and dry grasses. i can see me wearing this one a lot in autumn.

    Nanshe

    LEMON, lavendar, and an herbal/green scent... not something i'd wear everyday, but it might be nice to try before bed.

    Skuld

    mmm.. honey and musk! i don't smell much of the ylang ylang, but there is something (i guess it's the labdanum) making it smell kind of strange. as long as the honey note stays strong, i'll hang on the imp... otherwise, it's off to the swaps.

    Enraged Orangutan Musk

    this just smells like old lady perfume on me

    Sleepy Moon

    whoa....that's potent! i can't really tell what note(s) are killing it for me, but it's making my nose twitch. off to the swaps!

    Ligeia

    way too floral for me! jasmine overkill!

    Montresor

    wine and cherry vanilla pipe tobacco! definitely a keeper! i may end up having to look for more of this.

    Berenice

    this is really pretty! i love stargazer lilies and this doesn't disappoint. the musk and amber keep it from being floral overkill and the aloe and linen give a nice "clean" fresh smell. definitely a keeper.

    Fortunato

    i'm definitely smelling the liquor, orange, and berry... kind of reminds me of Grand Guignol. if there were less liquor and more patchouli, this would be wonderful..but as it is on me, i don't care for it.

    Morella

    nothing but a generic soap scent. definitely not for me

    The Pit & The Pendulum

    The depths of despair, a dark Ecclesiatical triumph: the incense of the Inquisition. strong incense... it smells like Cathedral, sandalwood, and cedar. the cedar gets a little overpowering at times, but after a while, it mellows out. i think this would be a great room scent.

    Usher

    the tea, blackcurrant, and musk are giving this a very fresh scent... i really like it! it's a bit cologne-ish, but that's fading as it dries down. i think this would smell wonderful on a guy, but it's nice on me too.

    The Premature Burial

    my first thought: now that's an unusual one! it smells of dust and teakwood with the cypress almost hidden. something about it is putting me off... i'm guessing it's the orchid. i'm a big fan of dirt scents, so i'll keep it around and see how it ages.

    The Masque

    wow... there's so many notes hitting me all at once! the carnation seems strongest, but i can also smell the incense, amber, rose, and sandalwood. i don't smell the honey, but it does have an overall sweet scent. i'm happy to have a decant, but a bottle would have been too much for me.

    The Tell-Tale Heart

    dragon's blood, musk, and cocoa... it's very sweet on me, no pepper at all. i love the story, so i had to try the scent. the scent is OK.. i'm on the fence as to whether i want to keep it.

    La Belle Dame Sans Merci

    sharp. green. aquatic. and very strong. it's not agreeing with me.

    Black Dahlia

    too heavy on the jasmine for me :/
  20. girlmadasbirds

    Nemesis

    hmm.. this is a lot more woodsy than i thought it would be. it's smelling like a woodsy-spicy soap with a hint of dried rose. eh, off to the swaps.

    Red Lantern

    this is very very nice! the amber, coconut, caramel, and delphinium are strongest with the other notes providing a wonderful smelling background. absolutely beautiful!

    The Perfumed Garden

    wow.. this is heavy on the myrrh. i hope it settles down so i can smell the other notes. *waits* still super-strong myrrh and a bit of citron. :/

    Luperci

    very woodsy with a piney juniper note...and something that's VERY sharp to my nose. just not working for me.

    Smut

    i really thought i was going to like Smut after seeing all the comparisons to both Snake Oil and Snake Charmer (two of my favorite scents). but... it's not working for me at all. i don't smell any resemblance to the above-mentioned scents. :/ it's nauseatingly sweet with a fruity scent and something that's like burnt plastic.

    Khajuraho

    what a beautiful, complex blend! the florals are drowned out (this is a good thing for me) by the sandalwood, vanilla, amber, and honey...and what i'm guessing is the date palm. i'm going to need more!
