    Water of Notre Dame

    This is a very aquatic scent. I agree with the writer above who says that it wafts and wafts. It is soft yet strong at the same time. It's almost too something. It does seem to turn inro a dishsoap smell after awhile. I think I like Hymn better. It's a similar scent but it's not as strong. I won't be buying it and I probably won't finish my imp.

    Pele

    The scent of Pele surprised me until I read that this is to represent her more gentle side. That's what this is gentle white flowers and cool breezes. It didn't last very long on my skin but it was pretty while it lasted. I probably wouldn't buy this but I will use up the imp.

    Alecto

    I smell a very green but sharp scent. There seems to be some citrus swimming around in there somewhere as well. I don't think I like the sharp undertone which makes me wriggle my nose. As it was drying the scent did not change that much on me. Unfortunately, I don't think this scent is for me. ADDED July 27: In the bottle rasberry and lovely light wood On Wow, this is beautiful. The scent of the rasberry leaf is so nice, and the cedarwood is almost coco-like. The vetivert is doing it's best to get my attention but really it's not bad at all. Now I smell the olive leaf. This is one of the first imps I was given a year or more ago. The first time I was given this and tried it, I didn't like it. Now I remember why. At the time I didn't realize about "morphing", but this just turns into something scary on my skin after about 5 minutes. 30 minutes Throw: average Scent category: Fruity/green/woodsy Summary At first the rasberry leaf is primary. Then the rasberry leaf, cedarwood are primary with the olive leaf being the bottom note and the vetivert just sort of "hanging out". Purchase again? No. No leaf-like for my taste. 1-5 rating (5 being best) 3

    Swank

    This smells of crushed red pomegranetes or any red berry for that matter. There's a cocktail scent underneath but it is not alcohol-y, It also reminds me of the way lipstick used to smell in the 40's, 50's or 60'3. All of this blended together are absolutely lushious and intoxicating. This imp becomes a 10ml real soon. I highly recommend this one.

    Bliss

    I smell nice chocolate. Not too sweet at all but a very true chocolate scent I thought. This is the first chocolate type scent I've tried other than Vice. This is the kind of scent I would enable people with, maybe throw an imp of Bliss in their package. It's not too "scary" for anyone new to BPAL and... who doesn't like chocolate? I may buy another imp or a 5ml of these when I'm done.

    The Hesperides

    I recently got an imp of Hespirades and I wasn't that excited about it. I put some on my wrists before I go to bed. (I find I can read scents a lot better that way) and I couldn't believe the apple I was getting, just golden apple through and through. I really started taking a liking to this. It lasted longer than some but not that long if you know what I mean. I wouldn't buy it again but I will finish the imp.

    Tushnamatay

    I smell light smooth sandalwood, and what seems like a watery scent under that. it's very light and very still. I've been looking a for a good, light, meditative sandalwood and this is it.

    Circe

    This seems to be a scent that has no middle road. My nose changed it's mind many times before finally deciding that this was a nice scent. The aquatic ingredients are what's holding my nose hostage here. The florals "feel" white. The floral is strong too but the smells all go to their proper places on the dry down. I smell a teeny amount of coconut? Strange. I also smell the banana type of smell that JJ_J writes about above. I'd use up the imp but I don't think I'd buy it again.

    Seraglio

    On my quest to find the perfect orange scent I came upon Seraglio- Oranges, rose and clove at first whiff. This is a stronger scent than some. Dries down to cloves and an orange peel smell which is great and is along the line of what I was looking for. Later, the rose comes out again and mixes with the clove and orange peel. Unfortunately I didn't smell the sandalwood as much as I had hoped but it does seem to be there "holding" things together in the background. And this scent is really alive, it doesn't seem to "lay down" after awhile as some do. This is a sexier orange scent with almost too much rose scent for my taste but it knocks my socks off. I would recommed trying this. ETA: This is now one of my Top Twenty blends. I love that spiced candied orange peel smell with the sensual rose.

    Rose Recommendations - which blend is for me?

    I was also looking for a rose scent AllyKat, I was narrowing down to Silentium Amoris, which twistygirl mentioned above.

    The search for the perfect Violet....

    Ultraviolet and Veil are my favorite Violet scents, and then Raven next.

    Lolita

    I like this. It's orangey, sweet like honey, it's floral in a sweet way like gardenia or mimosa and it's minutely spicey. Altogether it represents a sort of childlike scent. Lolita was also the first BPAL scent that I tried. Maybe as I try each one I'll be raving like this about each one but I just had to say something about Lolita because it is nice.
  13. Hi JazzieCazzie, You may have already found out but yes, Ice Hotel and Pain are very similar as I found out today.
