Coconut all the things! I think I've tried all the gc coconuts. I would like to start checking out some coconutty le's now. obatala tends to go funky on me. My best coconuts have been brown jenkin blood pearl and goblin. Eden is probably the worst coconut. Based on that what le's should I look into?

Who do I email with questions? BPAL/BPTP contact info
NixieCakes replied to kebechet's topic in BPAL FAQs
*didn't know where else to put this* My order just came in today. Yay! But my hope & faith got no pitchcard. Do I email customer service or just suck it up? -
My favorite moss scent is Bruised Violet Compound from the Pharmacopoeia.
-
I was so excited to try this one! On my skin it smells like Antique Lace plus grass, which I guess is the dandelion?? The bf says..."What smells like play-doh?" It was me.
-
In the bottle and fresh on the skin it smells exactly like snake oil+O. But for some reason it has NONE of the staying power O or Snake Oil has on their own. I really hope it gets stronger with age...if it does, it could be the bestest BPAL ever. We shall see.

Similarities Between BPAL Scents - GC and general discussion
NixieCakes replied to Shollin's topic in Recommendations
Im not sure if Im posting this in the right thread, but I will give it a shot. Bewitched is one of my favorite BPAL's ever, but my skin tends to eat it. Does anyone know of any other scents that smell similar but have more throw and/or lasting power? -
Looking for a BPAL that Resembles a Favorite Perfume
NixieCakes replied to Ina Garten Davita's topic in Recommendations
My boy loves Mary Kay's High Intensity cologne. I'm trying desperately to enable him. Does anyone know of a BPAL that smells similar? -
Hymn to Proserpine smells to me like pomegranate and nag champa. I love it. The bf loves it too. He says it smells like strawberry incense sticks. It lasted all day. Need. Bottle.

I am in looooove with Dorian. I really can smell the tea. It's perfection.
-
Delicious dryer sheets. Great for laundry, but not my wrists. Darn.
-
I smell like a bag of candy corn. I kinda like it.
-
Unfortunately there is no trace of the strawberry. Damn. White chocolate and nothing but. I was hoping for more strawberry than chocolate.
-
The first whiff I get is coconut. Bony Moon smells almost exactly like Brown Jenkins. Maybe a bit more crisp. Weird. Not what I expected at all, but I love it.
-
I am not really a fan of rose. I find it to be a touch overpowering, and honey always turns everything into straight up baby powder. Katrina should not work for me, but does she ever. The rose in this blend is really soft and the honeyed cream adds just the right amount of sweetness. I get tons of compliments on Katrina. She is a winner for sure.

If Lune Noire and Aziraphale had a baby, they would have named her Eshe. She is a soft floral and it feels like she is hiding something. Despite the softness, Eshe has great throw and is long lasting. This could be love.
-
In the decant its all bubblegum (maybe the guava/spun sugar). On the skin the other notes (apple/white pepper)come out to play, taking Xanthe from pg to r-rated. I lovey love love Xanthe. I would definitely take her out for drinks.

Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller (2006)
NixieCakes replied to zillah37's topic in Carnaval Diabolique
Snake Oil + Crypt Queen = Mme. Moriarty. -
Butter Rum Cookies starts out more like a gingersnap. Over time it morphs into something more mapley, like oatmeal or pancakes with syrup. Not really for me. Darn.
-
Dried orange peels floating in simmering cider, roasted apples, smoldering firewood, chimney smoke, sassafras beer, warm hawthorn wood, and oakmoss. It gets too "red-hots" cinnamon for my skin.
-
I LOVE this one. Its eating strawberry pop rocks while folding laundry. My honey says it smells like Kool-Aid powder. I got a lot of compliments on sticky pillowcase. It has a lot of throw without being obnoxious. I want more.
-
The notes actually blend together a LOT better than I expected. It reminds me of the hair salon. Fruity, sweet and a bit chemical. I like it, but its a little too bright for me.

Cake, cookies, donuts, baked goods, even Cinnabon

My husband and I both agree that Monster Bait: Underbed smells just like fresh baked cinnamon rolls. Yum. -
I wouldnt say theres any vanilla in Faith. Just sugary candy violets. My husband thinks it smells like cotton candy. I think it smells like violet mints.
