    Chrysanthemum Moon

    oooh! Dark musk and the thick, slightly bitter scent of mums. Dark and decadent. Love it! Great staying power too - lasted overnight and into the next day.

    Red Lantern

    I absolutely adore this! Rich, exotic and filled with all my loves woring in perfect harmony! Amber, tobacco, and I get a bit of musk too! Dark coconut in the background. Fantastic.

    Men Ringing Bell with Penises

    Fairly sharp dose of rice-wine vinegar that I enjoyed, but I can't see myself reaching for often.

    The Passionate Shepherd To His Love

    Holy-freaking-moley! This is in your face and all over the place clover I really like clover and it reminds me of a less green and more clover-flower The Schoolhouse. Throw is intense! My classmates told me I smelled like I'd rolled in a floer bed on my way to class Not in a bad way, just in a really STRONG way! I love it, but I'll probably wear it in smaller doses from now on.

    Marae

    Generic floral smell on me, unfortunately No incense whatsoever. Nice, pretty flowers.

    Boo Bam

    Sweet, golden and very fresh! Smells like a fresh cut tropical flower. Not my usual style, but very nice Didn't last long, but decent throw while it's around. Yummy!

    Love's Philosophy

    What a surprise I was going way out on a limb when I aquired this one, because cream normally does bad, and I mean really BAD, things on my skin (White Rabbit... ) but this is beautiful! Sweet and thick and creamy with a touch of spice. Foody, but only slightly. Delicious!

    Bruised Violet Compound

    I like this one alot! I'm a big fan of patchouli and red currant and the dark, musky smell mixes very well with the sweetness of the violet. Good one!

    Nostrum Remedium

    Oy, not so good on me I'm afraid Harsh cleaner smell with some bitter leaf oil. Rats!

    Tweedledee

    Pop rocks and Ruby-red Squirt soda! Sparkling, fruity, and a little sharp. Awesome ADDED March 27: Fruity pebbles indeed! I love this Sparkling citrus notes with a clean and refreshing swoosh of white tea. Wonderful oil! Edit: Didn't think I'd already reviewed this one! Sorry mods!!

    Frumious Bandersnatch

    Frumious Bandersnatch smells like sharp, biting citrus and carnation on me. Interesting and stimulating, but not something I'll want to smell like very often.

    The Caterpillar

    Moss and patchouli This is kind of what I was hoping for with Mole without the charming punch in the nose that oil has for me. Takes a long time to blossom and has very low level throw, but it smells like an aged British hippie with some purple glass spectacles. Very eccentric, but generally friendly

    Old Scratch

    I usually avoid lavendar because it often doesn't work on my skin (I'm looking at you, Lilith Victoria ) Luckily this is one of the few that really, really works well! Sparkling lavendar base with diabolical and manly patchouli. It's really warmed up by the rosewood too. Fabulous

    Loviatar

    The Finnish Goddess of Agony, Torment and the joy found in inflicting pain on others. The Mistress of Torture, she has transformed in the modern era into the patron Goddess of Dominatrixes. The slap of slick, hot leather punctuates the warm, sensual embrace of black amber, red musk and dark, lascivious myrrh. Leather, leather and more leather Smelled like single note leather on me. Delicious! Edit to add scent description

    Dance of Death

    I love this! Dense and dark and smoky. Luscious and menacing with a tinge of sweetness in its dirty heart

    Dragon's Hide

    I'm not a big dragon's blood fan, but I love leather and smoke scents so I thought I'd give this one a try. While wet I kept thinking "Nooooooo - not the dragon's blood!" Then it settle down into a really, really nice leather smell with enough of the sweetness from the dragon's blood to make it intertesting. Good stuff!

    Aglaea

    Nice, sweet oil. Smelled like tropical flowers to me and had a red character to it.

    Sacred Whore of Babylon

    Intensely sweet floral. Too strong and too floral on me. Woah!

    Gaueko

    ... Blackened sandalwood and misty lavender, with curling wisps of smoky tobacco, nag champa, and labdanum. Mostly lavender, I'm afraid. I sense some spiciness in the background, and it isn't bright lavender but a dark and slightly menacing lavender. The sandalwood starts to come through a bit more later on. edited to add scent description

    Florence

    Gorgeous! Dark and spicy with almost a musky tinge. Great amber scent!

    Juliet

    Sweetpea overload EEEEEEEEEEK! That's about it, folks.

    Usher

    I can't say I get much out of this blend. It's light and sweet and plesant but... I can't really describe it or recognize the scent description in it. Pretty, but not really my thing. Mostly confusing.

    Smut

    Musk, musk mmmmmmmmmmmmmusk! and booze. That is Smut '06 in a nutshell for me. I love it! I get lots of red musk in particular out of it. Awesome

    Salomé

    I was afraid the almond would be death and mixed with the jasmine, all the musk is covered up by almonds and flowers. Too bad!

    Nocnitsa

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this one! This was one of my first BPAL's and I love it. Night air and pine. Fantastic
