I've got to echo the comparison to Snake Charmer meets Panther Moon. This is very resinous, heavy, & sexy. Another scent that is just a bit too much for me in the summer months, but I plan to slather this come Fall. The vetiver is extremely subtle and, truly, I really don't even smell it. Same with the lavender note. The patchouli note is quite smooth and not the OMG dirty hippie slap in the face that it sometimes is on my skin. I predict this becoming very popular once people have a chance to try it. And I think it will age wonderfully.

I LOVE this scent. Invidiana was generous enough to frimp me a bit to test. It's very fruity on me, but, fortunately, I do not get melon. (Melon is one of the few fruit notes I cannot do in BPAL.) Instead, I am picking up pineapple, peach, and maybe pomegranate? And mint. There is definitely a mint note in here, but it's not overwhelming in-your-face mint. I'm really hoping the released version is similar to this because it is on my skin.

Very heavy scent. A little too heavy for summer months for me, but I would love this in winter. I am getting a slightly sweet, dusty woods scent with just barely a bit of rose. I think I might keep this imp and see how it ages.

This is mostly red musk, pink pepper, and leather on me. Oh! and wood. No sign of cloves or ginger anywhere. It's dried down to a soft, faintly spicy vanilla leather. The vanilla emerged very late in the dry down. Very nice.

I would have sworn jasmine was in this one if I hadn't just read the notes. This one is definitely not behaving well on me. I do pick up the honey and spices, but no red musk. Bleh, this really smells like jasmine on me.

Definitely getting the salty sea air note with this one. A bit of wood on the drydown, but it's also borderline "soap" on my skin.

#623: Smoky vanilla, patchouli (but not stinky/hippy patchouli). This actually kind of reminds me of Madame Moriarty minus the plum and red musk. #584: Coconut & vanilla candy #283: Candy Apple & vanilla #429: Smells like angel food cake on me. No frosting, just light sweet spongy angel food cake. #??1: (The number on label smeared in transit from lab) This one has a bit of marshmallow vibe going, but it's not foody...there is something else there, a little sharp, but definitely softened by the vanilla & marshmallow-like notes, maybe a herb?

This is mostly violet on me. There is a slight creamy quality to it, owed to the vanilla note I'm sure. It's weird because as it dries on my skin, I'm getting this candy banana scent.

White musk, nicotiana, and caramel notes predominant on me. Caramel note is not foody though and blends so beautifully with the other notes. I am surprised by how much I like this scent.

This is nothing but jasmine on my skin. I can't even smell the rose through it.

This is juicy strawberry and amber on my skin. Smells lovely on my skin. Need to track down a full bottle of this.

Very minty! I have to agree this is definitely fresh and medicinal. After sniffing it, I swear can taste it on the back of my throat.

#105 - Creamy orange and frankincense. I am completely in love with this scent. :heart: #21 - Champagne & frankincense. Just lovely! #150 - Sharp citrus & incense

#116 - All I am getting out of this one is men's cologne. And it's actually giving me a slight headache smelling it.

#310 Dark Alice's cast-off is my new treasure! I'm not sure I am getting raspberry with this, but it definitely has a candy vibe to it. I asked my husband and he thinks it smells like Circus Peanuts (the fluffy orange marshmallow candy, you know.) Packed with sugar and quite foody. I love it!!!!

This is not at all sweet on my skin. I'm just get an aquatic/herbal floral scent that becomes "soapy" on dry down.

This is fairly astringent on my skin. Like alcohol and coconut while wet on my skin. It does soften as it dries and the astringent quality dissipates somewhat. It dries down to just coconut on my skin.

Hello Pumpkin! Definitely the strongest note while in its wet stage. As it begins to settle on my skin, some of the mandarin and mango emerges. Amber is very subdued in this blend---almost not there. And I really can't pick out the ginger either. Pumpkin still remains strongest note even on dry down. Sort of gets me in the mood for the Weenies in a couple months, you know?

This is like effervescent lemon & lime on me. Totally sugary too. I'm really loving this decant I believe I will order a bottle of this as well.

I'm getting smoky cinnamon on my skin. Very strong and while it did not burn the skin on my arm, a little got on my skin under my nose while sniffing and that does burn my skin.

#23 Smells like frankincense, sugar cane, skin musk on me. This is slightly sweet but not at all foody. Even though it's an incense blend which tend to be heavier scents on me, this one is surprisingly soft & delicate. It's still not grabbing me enough though to keep it, so off to sale/swap pile it goes.

This is a woodsy violet musk on my skin. Not really for me.

This is mostly incense and pomegranate on my skin. Nice, but nothing I'd reach for more than once.

Sharp herb, woody. The orange note seems really "harsh" on me.

I get cinnamon and bitter chocolate on my skin. I swear it's the same chocolate note I have in my Chaos Vanilla #81.
