Lovely Passionflower scent - slightly sharp/bitter but not offputting, and fairly sweet. Like peach pith...I guess...I hope that's a thing. I used this as an in shower moisturizer the other morning and layered Snow White over it...very nice.

I am so disappointed. I was hoping (and expecting) some sort of cherry and maybe the sweetness of corn syrup? No. All i get is an acrid, salty mess. I have never had a perfume turn my stomach until this one and i am so sad. Maybe i got a bum bottle but yuck.

Fallen leaves against a backdrop of myrrh, smoky opoponax, and labdanum. Oh my goodness-this is so beautiful! Dark and haunting but with a sweetness to it. I wish i could describe this in terms of notes but i just can't. If you think you will like it, get it! That was my review before i lit the candle. After lighting it smells the same but there isn't much throw. :-(

One of my top 5 favorite perfume oils became a hair gloss! I was so excited to get a bottle, i wish i could have bought two. If you like the hair glosses and you love Scherezade, this is divine. 3 sprays coats my hair with beautiful red musk, saffron and light spices. Sometimes i spray the ends of my hair right before bed so i can smell it while i toss and turn (don't sleep well). The amount of scent in this is perfect! Love love love, thanks for making this a reality. :-) I wish i could report this post unfortunately my phone will not let me do that. :-(

I adore Snow White perfume and the hair gloss is gorgeous! My only complaint is that the scent disappears...not just my nose either, but is totally glorious for the initial smell and what the hair glosses do to make my hair lovely. :-) very glad to have my bottles.

This is what i have been waiting for: a ROSE hairgloss! Yes, initially it smells like Rose Red with her dewy petals and greenery (which i love) but, after i blow dry, it becomes a full, lush dewy rose with no sharpness anywhere and i must have looked like a freak huffing my hair all day. I used 6 sprays on my shoulder blade length hair and the scent lasted all day and i can still smell it this morning. Folks, if you have been looking for a rose to put in your hair to layer with all the rose scents, give this a whirl...yes, even if Rose Red perfume didn't work on your skin. This is perfection and i am so thrilled to have it!

:-( Damn you honey. I looove Red Musk, Myrrh and Carnation. I can't wear Honey. I keep trying to love this but the honey keeps funkifying the blend for me. I wish there was no honey because this could have been amazing.
-
I don't know how to describe this and probably shouldn't write a review but this is fabulous and has become a new favorite. I don't understand: i don't like BPALs lily of the valley or honeyed anything and i don't smell any of the listed notes. All i know is that i adore this perfume and hope my decant isn't a fluke! ETA that the decant wasn't a fluke, my bottles smell amazing too :-)

Smells like the best festive holiday candle yet! I smell cranberry, cider(?!) and greenery and a touch of spice. This is what i expected Samhain to resemble so i love this! This is going to layer so well with the new Fear of Christmas Trees, Snow White and a few others. Oh, and a little goes a LONG way ;-)

Definitely a beautiful evergreen scent with tobacco underneath threatening to take over...but it doesn't. This is pretty wonderful.

This is awesome! Smells like Smut '10 + patchouli...om nom nom need more!
-
Please do not eat! Got my package yesterday and immediately unwrapped this, cut the wick a tiny bit and lit. This is one of my favorite scents and the candle does a pretty good job of releasing the scent. I let the pool form and then put it out. The wax smells stronger this morning which is good. I will light this again tonight, so glad i have this scent in candle form. It smells identical to the bath oil. :-)
-
Beautiful orange/patchouli scent. I am sure the amber and tobacco will become stronger as this ages but i am hoping it stays just like this, orange and patchouli.
-
Huge wafts of STRAWBERRY JAM permeate the air around me and when i smell my wrists there is a chewy donut underneath that STRAWBERRY JAM. I need another bottle or ten and i hope this returns in another form next year, or the same. ;-) Perfect jelly donut. Every time i put this on (usually at the end of the day as a comfort scent) i am so thankful i bought a bottle. This scent truly makes me happy!

This is one of the most amazing oils i have ever smelled. I love Sin, but this is a less patchouli/sandalwood Sin...so the Cinnamon and Amber mix with the gingerbread in the most wonderful way. If you love Sin and gingerbread, this is a no brainer. If you thought the patchouli or sandalwood were too much in Sin, give this one a whirl. Multiple bottles needed. ETA 20 Nov. 2020: This has aged beautifully. The gingerbread is most prominent for the first 15 minutes (with some cinnamon and patchouli peeking through) and then the gingerbread almost completely disappears and Sin is left, lovely as ever. Another favorite.

Seems like everyone gets something different from this so I needed to try it. I get Magnolia. Straight up Magnolia. And I love it. Shut the front door - found another floral! I wonder what my bottle will smell like, LOL! ETA: it may actually be gardenia...my bottle is amazing. :-)
-
I love this. Musky, slightly sweet (must be the currant?) leaves. Beautiful. Editing because this has morphed and settled! Oh this is so beautiful. Like most of us in the Pacific NW I am pretty much done with 90° weather and have started wearing my Autumn favorites. There was a slight chill in the air this morning and i ran straight to this oil. It made me want to curl up with a book under a tree in 60's temps! Wishful thinking but this perfume is snuggly, soft and i love it. I hope i was smart enough to buy a backup...if not, i hope we see it with Weenies this year! Sandalwood/vanilla/leaves

Lovechild of Celeste and Hermia...seriously. if you love those, you should love this...i know i do! Pink pepper and saffron deliciousness. This is a fluffy, comforting pillow. Sorry, maybe thats not the best description but it is the best i can do. Gorgeous.
-
This. This is just magnificent! Spring bottled!!! The lavender is beautiful and not astringent or bitter and there is a lovely dance between it and the orange blossom and teas...gorgeous. I just bought a bottle.

Blacker than the Raven Wings of Midnight

This is the black tea from Furo...that smells like anise/licorice to me. :-( I am glad i got to try it but that tea smothers the other notes for me. -
The Tumultuous Vultures of Stern Passion
HerbGirl replied to LiberAmoris's topic in Limited Editions
Oh dear. If there was no vetiver in this it would be perfect. The vetiver literally strangles poor white musk and lily who were just starting to make themselves known. Its a shame, the vetiver just doesn't behave (and it never will). Vetiver lovers rejoice! I want to love this so badly. I can smell the perfume under the vetiver and it is heart achingly beautiful...maybe this will be the one vetiver blend i try to wear...hmmm. -
Beautiful grassy verbena with a hint of blueberry but only for the first 5 minutes. Weird, no lavender and the blueberry disappears almost instantly. Maybe its my decant? It is really nice but i would have enjoyed the lavender/blueberry scent in addition to the verbena and grass.
-
Soapy lemon verbena and nag champa for the first 10 minutes and then...this morphs into such a comforting, smooth verbena-champa scent. I don't get orange blossom or myrrh but this is very nice and will be even nicer if those two notes decide to come forth. Will definitely use up my decant and may need a bottle.

Sometimes when I look at my daughter, I feel like I can see the woman that shell become someday. This is a perfume for that woman, forever my daughter: frankincense, sweet myrrh, bourbon vanilla, and a hint of willowy, pale fougere. It must be my decant but all i get from this is tea. :-( Edited to add that it is a very beautiful tea and i would have bought a bottle if i had my decant in time. :-/ ETA: I managed to acquire a bottle after falling head over heels with my decant recently. This is not just tea. This is indescribable. Utterly beautiful and I don't even know what I'm smelling. Top 10.

Straight up pink strawberry cake. Delicious, cakey artificial strawberry. I love this, i did not enjoy Sprinklecake and don't think they are similar. I might need a bottle...
