Have you tried these 'snow' LEs (not this year): Yuki-Onna Archarngel Winter Darkling Thrush Moon of Terrible Perchta From the GC catalogue Night-Gaunt Macabray (un-impable from the Gaiman collection) Death of the Gravedigger (Salon) Cloister Graveyard in the Snow (Salon) Personally, I'd give Yuki-Onna, Night-Gaunt (if you like citrus), the Macabray and Cloister Graveyard in the Snow a whirl.

Hazelnut sweet. This is nutty and honey sweet with a touch of berries. It kinda reminds me to a farmhouse kitchen, smell of oats, berries, nuts... it just smells like something is cooking. Perhaps cookies?

Very fruity and sweet. On wet and for the first hour or so I do get alot of the blood orange swirling about and I love that. Unfortunately, it doesn't last and I get plum, guava and a hint of violet on the drydown. Love it on wet, as I adore blood orange, but it just doesn't stick around.

I get rose and cedar from this. After like twenty minutes, the cedar definitely smells like pencil shavings. Two hours later, the wood is back to being wood and the rose has a hint of powder from it.

Super fresh aquatic. Slightly green, hint of violet, and very aquatic. I like the hint of 'sea air', personally, as it keeps this from being too woody, and gives it a nice airy touch.

Cocoa and cream. It's like Candy Butcher on steroids. And I'm pretty sure it's cream as opposed to milk because it definitely is 'creamy' and it goes to plastic on me after like 20 minutes... just like every other blend that has BPAL's cream note. Stupid skin chemistry.

Sugared lemons, licorice and vanilla. This one is a 'lighter' version than v5, the licorice isn't as heavy. The lemon is probably lemon verbena as on dry it becomes more herbal and less juicy.

This one has a very green apple edge to it, as it dries it goes from a 'fresh' apple scent to more of a baked apple and there is a lingering sweetness of it like a light drizzle of honey. Mmm. Baked apples.

Sweet cocoa and hazelnut butterscotch. Very sweet. Urgh.

Red musk, coconut, something spicy like allspice... slightly resinous. The red musk and coconut are the key players... Oddly enough, it sort of reminds me to the Spawn of the She-Devil proto.

Stronger black tea note, creamier and with a hint of vanilla. Much more foodie than the released version. Much creamier as well. As it dries, I get coconut. So take Dorian, add giant dollop of Malibu Rum, and you get this. So.not.for.me, but if you ever wanted Dorian + coconut, don't miss out on this one.

Boozey honey and vanilla. Headachingly inducingly boozey and sweet honey. Did I mention sweet?

Chocolate and rose are the most predominant components on me. There might be some carnation in there lurking as well. Oddly reminiscent of Kali. But less boozy.

Very foodie. And yes, I can see this being cinnamon egg nog... but its if you took it and solidified it. So, kinda like flan then. With eggier and with more cinnamon. And vanilla. Yum.

Ginger and lime soda! This one sure is fizzy. It's slightly more limey than Old Ackerman's Instructional Toys, but it has the same effervescent ginger note with a touch of sugar. It's biting, but this make me think of a mix of ginger ale and lemon-lime soda. TASTY.

Ah, this was an herby licorice, slightly sugary on the drydown (I swear, there's vanilla in this). And on the drydown, the amber appears. This blend goes powdery on me. Eventually dries to a vanilla amber powder on me. Where did the licorice go?

At the beginning, this was warm lemon sugar vanilla linen. I got a faint linen note. Definitely foodie. As it dries I get more vanilla amber out of this, and yes, I can see the similarity to Antique Lace. But yes, vanilla syrup. If you love Antique Lace, you'll love this.

At the beginning this reminds me to a sugary fruity mix. I believe it is guava, and perhaps a touch of watermelon. As it dries, it gets a more 'bubblegum' sort of feel, so there's lotus in it. But definitely sugar encrusted. It's too sweet for me.

This one started as a very intense green apple, but on the drydown its more of an apple blossom with a light airy note. I think one of the florals may be cherry blossom. Ends up slightly soapy on me.

To me this wasn't just red musk, there was also some black musk and I swear this might also have some vetiver that explains the murky black vibe its got going on. A hint of coconut appears on the drydown. So. not. for. me.

Hmm. Definitely honey, vanilla and carnation. I think there's amber in here as it turns slightly powdery. This is less aggressive than the released version and definitely more delicate. I get some major honey out of this.

This one starts as a minty floral on me. I don't get apple but more like apple blossom. It dries to a dusty blend with a hint of pepper.

GAH. On me, this is ROSE, rose rose, and a hint of peach, and on the drydown just an edge of clove. But the rose is big, voluptuous, and ... did I say big already?

Grand Guignol reminded me to peach brandy, but with patchouli. I got this whisky boozelike with a hint of fruit and patchouli.

For me, this was smoky, woody and ashy. It sort of reminded me to one of the Rappaccini Garden Blends, Apple of Sodom, minus the fruit. As it dries, I get a hint of leather.
