Thank you for all thw recs! :i can add lots to my list!

Hello all!! It's been awhile since I have been here! I'm planning on building up my bpal collection more soon and need some recs. I can only do lighter fragrances usually with a few exceptions. I have 16 5 ml bottles onhand and zero imps lol. Here's what I have....can you recommend some similar fragrances? Maybe starting with ones along the lines of Dana O'shee and Baobhan Sith which are my two faves. I have: Dana O'shee Baobhan Sith Eat Me (a little strong but I dilute it with a carrier oil) Punkie Night 2010 Akuma Phobos Ginger Skulls 2010 Embalming Fluid Phantasm pomegranate II, 2010 I think Bewitched Muse Shanghai Swank Beaver Moon 2010 Lick it Vigorously 2010 Tia!! I'm so excited to build up my collection!!

Loooove this! I'm admittedly a fall fragrance whore anyway. I literally love pumpkin spice everything anyway. I do get a lot of spice with the occasional pumpkiny whiff, but one of my students this week says she smells a kot of pumpkin. I must say though, performance wise it rocks too! I've applied to damp and dry hair and it works well both ways.

Thanks for the descriptions Cactus!

Thank you all!

Thank you Tallgirl and Poenari!

In the Imp: all fruity, cherry, almond goodness with a faint floral in the background Wet: same Drying: here comes the powder Dry: light powdery floral. Not too sickening though, so it may still work. I may let it age some.

Thanks so much!!

Boabhan Sith and Phantasm off the top of my head. My collection is small lol.

Thank you! Mods I'm so sorry, I just found the other main rec thread. My apologies! Can they please be merged? Thanks

I LOVE ginger scents! Especially ones with fruity notes as well. Baobhan Sith is one of my faves. This one is going to be too! In the bottle: Fruity with a hint of spice the ginger is more in the background. Wet: Here comes the spice! But it's still fruity enough that it's a sweet warm fragrance on me. Dry down: Exactly the same as when wet! AND it lasted ALL DAY on me. I'm glad I got this!

I LOVE this crisp clean scent..... In bottle: exactly as the description says! Wet on the skin: Still exactly as the description says, but it goes through a lemony amp that I LOVE...then settles into a nice blend of all the fragrances again. Drydown: Same This is one I reach for on a regular basis!!!

In the bottle: BERRIES with a hint of green Wet on the skin: The same Drydown: Musks tend to amp on me and this one is no different, but it's not a bad musk at all. It's like....berries, greenerie and a hint of musk. Will I repurchase? YEP YEP! I love this one! It's very crisp. It lasts all day and while the musk does go a bit powdery at the very end it's not bad.

This was only my second LE. I was looking for a very fall, cidery scent and I think I found it! In the bottle: All the notes blended exactly as described....apples, cranberries, and cider Wet on the skin: The apple amped all for a second, then the cider went NUTZO then it calmed down. Dry: smells very nearly on me exactly like in the bottle, all blendy and wonderful! It does have some throw on me. And it lasted all day! It took a slight powdery turn at the very end of the day but not bad. Is it a keeper? YES, I may even be purchasing a backup. I do plan on letting it age to see if that helps the powders.

I got this in the mail today HOORAY! It's my first LE. There wasn't a lot of change to this on my skin as it dried. It started off full on pomegranate, like Swank minus the bite of the alcohol. I never did catch the lemon verbena, and the grapefruit and pink lime were very ghostly. Like I'd catch a whiff of it here and there. Normally musks end up amping with a lot of throw on me, but this one stayed mostly in the background, and was the last to wear off. It's been on since 7AM (12 hours) and I can still catch a slight whiff of the musk in it. Actually it smells now a lot like Jovan White Musk LOL. I apply mine very lightly for the most part, as I'm sensitive to fragrances, but this is a lightweight one that I'll be able to continue to wear. It's a great scent! I think I'm going to let it age some too though to see if any more of the pomegranate or citrus will come through.

LOL this is my first post in quite awhile! I don't always have to dilute my oils anymore....in fact, most of the time I can wear them neat. Bright, clean, fruity, green scents are my faves. This is all of the above. In the bottle it's lotsa lemon, and it stays that way wet on my skin. As it dries it goes through a typical for me OHHHH HERE'S THE JASMINE phase but it didn't last long like Eos did on me. With Eos the jasmine totally amped and stayed there. Then it goes into a melding of all the fragrances in it...I can smell the jasmine, neroli, lemon and green tea all together in an evenly blended melody. I know a lot of you said this didn't last on you....I applied mine at 7AM and can STILL smell it on me. It's faint now, but it's been very nearly 12 hours and still there. I have a full size on the way to me. It's going to remain a favorite.

**I dilute all my oils due to sensitivities** I got this in a swap with a good friend. She was saying I needed to try it, she loves it, and I put it off, but WOW I'm glad I have it now!!!! It's LOVELY......I'm big on sweet foody scents anyway, but this is cherries, almonds, milk, oatmeal....all of the above and more. Big added bonus....the dh likes the way it smells on me too. It's going to be a regular I can already tell.

***I dilute all my BPAL because I'm sensitive (scentsitive?) to fragrances*** Eat me is the stronges of the scents I love the most. Or one of the strongest. I recently got a 5 ml of it and transferred it to a rollerball with jojoba oil. Though I have it on neat today and no problems YAY!!!!! I got an imp of Eat me after going to bath and body works and smelling their black currant/vanilla lotion. Eat me has both black currant and vanilla in it. YUMMMMMYYYYY..... Wet out of the bottle (or rollerball LOL) it is more black curranty, but then the cake starts to make its way to the surface. By the time drydown is done it's all married on my wrist and I smell vanillaish and yummy and good. DH likes it too.

**I dilute all my oils due to sensitivites.** In the bottle: MMMM Fruity goodness with some flowers mixed in, kinda like the smell of fruit when it's just ripe and there are still flowers on the tree. On wet: the same drydown: mostly the huckleberry and red currant come to the surface to play and stick around. Which is fine with me as I LOVE fruity scents. However, I have some other scents that I like more than this one, but I'll probably invest in a full sized bottle to have on hand.

This will be quick.... In the bottle, on wet and after drydown it was ALL raspberry on me. No Neroli, no blood orange, nothing else. Just raspberry, but not the sickly sweet candy type, it smelled like a natural raspberry the whole time. I like it though it won't be my absolute fave.

**I dilute all my oils with jojoba due to sensitivities.** After my funky Eos experience (the jasmine was REALLY amped by my skin) I thought I'd try another floral but one with some citrus to it, hence Muse. In the bottle: I can really smell the lime, the florals are in the background but blended. On Wet: At first all I can smell is lime again, then OMG Here come JASMINE!!! But not in so bad a way. I don't know if the lime counteracted it some or what. Drydown: After awhile the jasmine receded into the background again and a little more lime broke through, as well as the tuberose. I really didn't smell lotus, though it may have been blended in there somewhere. Overall: I LOVE THIS ONE.....I an deal with that strong jasmine in the beginning. It had throw (even diluted!) but not too much throw, and lasted well into the day. After 8 plus hours of work if I can smell even a HINT of it I'm good. I will be buying a 5 ml bottle of this.

**I dilute all my BPAL with jojoba since I'm sensitive** In the bottle...a nice, soft floral. Wet.....OMG My skin amps the jasmine something FIERCE!!!!! There for a moment it was sickly sweet. I thought I might have to go wash it off! Drydown....after awhile it's soft again, and I can smell mostly honeysuckle. This will be ok for occasional use, but I don't think I'd buy a full size 5ML bottle, and I won't grab it daily.

I dilute everything since I'm sensitive. I think I'm just going to be one that Patchouli turns powdery on. I LOVE the orange blossom in this, but the patchouli soon screams "I'M HERE" and then goes to a strong baby powder on me. It did last, though...which since I'm not fond of baby powder wasn't necessarily a good thing! LOL!

I'm sensitive so I dilute all my oils. Typically I dilute Baobhan Sith 1:1 with jojoba. Baobhan Sith stays fairly constant as far as notes for me from the bottle to drydown. I am IN LOVE with this oil though.....it's my go-to daily one. I've not gotten to try many of my imps because I keep reaching for Baobhan Sith! I can wear this one without diluting it even, which is unusual. It's all fruit with just a touch of green to me.

I am sensitive so I diluted with jojoba oil.... In the bottle....YUM black currant! But with a liquor-ish bite. On wet: the liquor scent comes to the surface first on my skin. For a little while it was a little strong. Drydown: After some time the liquor smell faded out and the black currant stuck around. DH was sniffing me all day long so it will be a keeper! This is THE strongest of the scents I have liked so far.
