Bottle: The bottles smells a LOT like the musk from snake charmer to me (um, IS there musk in snake charmer, right?). It's a sweet, deep musk. Slightly fruity. Really captivating. Wet: When this first goes, on I feel like a get a rush of light musk--Dorian like. But it quickly darkens back up to resemble the bottle smell--sweet, boozy and deeply musky. This is SEXY. Dry: Speechless. Sweet, vanillic, a hint of fermented fruits. This really does remind me of snake charmer, though obviously not the same. It’s a sharper, drunker Snake Charmer. I just can't even begin to describe the wonderfulness of this one! Amazing throw, too. Lasts 6+ hrs. Overall: Snake charmer is lustful calculated seduction. Smut is intoxicated unbridled fuc$ing. I like both. Doesn't everyone?

Imp: A crushed green smell. I want to say lime, white rose and a sorta spicy (like anise spice, but not) herbal. Fennel? Wet: This goes on extremely faint, despite having slathered a bit more than normal. Right now its faint rose. Drying: Luckily, as this dries it gets stronger: rose, earth (a dry dusty smell), and a bitter green note. No hint of spice that others have mentioned. Dry: Ahh, a fennel and rose combo, complete with dry potting soil and a twist of lime. This doesn't go soapy on me like most rose blends. It’s a very GREEN scent. There is even something reminiscent of violet--that quality of very green herbal. Late dry (about 4 hrs): A beautiful non-assuming pale rose scent. Just a tiny hint of the herbals/spice citrus that was there before. Its fading fast by this point, but then, I did go out and shovel 15 inches of snow off 2 cars while wearing it, so I was just a tiny bit sweaty. Overall: A lovely green herbal/spiced rose that is sweet and STAYS rose, instead of soapy. Were I ever to want a rose scent, this would be a very strong contender. I'll hold onto this imp for a bit longer.

Imp: An amazing herbal teases my nose. Lavender with a lemon zing a creamy almond in the distance. Mmmmm…. Wet: First on, I get a dusty earthen note. Like a light soil smell, and I love Beth's soil notes. There is also a wonderful lemon orange combo. The almond is bitterer on my skin wet than it was in the imp. Wet, this is a little fume-y, but I imagine that will settle as it dries. Drying: By 5 min in, the earthen note is lessening. This is a lovely citrus lavender and the almonds are starting to give a creamy depth to the herbal blend. It's invigorating and comforting all at the same time. There is just enough mint to give this zing, but not enough for me to actually pick it up as mint. This is an amazingly dynamic scent. 15 min in, and there's massive thyme. Thyme and lemon, which is actually what I use to season my roast chicken. Luckily the sweet almond rescues it from the fate of poultry. Still, very much a kitchen smell. 25 min, and its almond with a bit of minty thyme. 40 min and its more mint, supported by thyme with little hints of lemon and almond. An hour and its almond/lavender with the other notes in the background. I could go on, but…. Overall: Well, you get the point. This just keeps changing. It's amazing, and I couldn't think of a better blend for a muse. It continues to inspire. The throw in the beginning is quite good, but by 3ish hours, it's faded to a slight herbalicious skin scent.

A lab frimp! Imp: Really fumy lime/bubblegum with…jasmine. Just so everyone reading this knows, jasmine is my nemesis, so take this review with a grain of salt. Wet: Bubblegum (i.e., lotus) is much stronger now, and from far away it smells like necco wafer candy. Sadly, jasmine is undeniably present, and working its evil. Drying: Ugh. Bathroom. The jasmine smells of stale urine, my skin chemistry's true evil at work. The lotus and urine go together to smell kinda like urinal cakes (so sayeth my husband). You know that fruity bathroom cleaner smell? A lot of public bathrooms use it? Yeah, that and urine. God, jasmine hates me so much. Lime never had a chance. Well, I stuck it out, and 2 hrs later, it mellowed to a nice floral. It’s a slightly sweet fruity bubblgummy one from the lotus, and the lotus managed to tame the jasmine to simply a pungent floral. At this stage, I could see this being a very nice perfume. 7 hrs it’s a distant sweet (not at all bad) lotus and jasmine. Overall: The drydown is a nice lotus with a bit of nice jasmine support. I am beginning to quite like Beth's lotus notes. Unfortunately, in this blend, the lotus is paired with jasmine, and jasmine is just one of those florals that I very rarely like. I can't wait 2+ hours out smelling like used urinal cakes waiting for the mellowed lotus/jasmine to kick in. Damn skin chem.

Yup, pickman is right--snake oil is the vanilla you describe. But you should also try "O", an amber honey vanilla, very sexy, and Dorian, a tea/lemon/musky vanilla, simply gorgeous. I think those three are the most popular BPAL vanillas. But I also ADORE Tombstone. Its a very woodsy vanilla, and definitely more masculine but I think it works on either sex.

Bottle: A cold, impersonal aquatic floral. Reminds me of a violet blend, though I'm not sure if that is an actual note. Wet: This swipes on as a stifling strong perfumey floral ( I should make it clear here that strong florals aren't my thing…). I think maybe there is jasmine or ylangylang in this? They often turn stifling on me. Drying: Less overwhelming floral now. This has taken on an aquatic scent, but the floral is bitter, dry and much too strong for me. I like the aquatic part of this scent, as it’s a strong aquatic, but the overly strong florals are ruining this for me. This also has a hint of necco wafer (something in sacred whore did that to me. Perhaps these share a note?). Dry: Oooh, by 20-30 min in, this gets nice. It’s a hint fruity, anda deep aquatic comes out. The necco floral stays around, but I actually don't mind it. Its sweet and clean smelling. Like Gemma, I don't find this gloomy either. Its rather fresh. Overall: While I didn’t particularly care for the wet/drying phase, the drydown was actually lovely. This just isn't the type of scent that I usually go for, but I really think I need to try more of beth's aquatics, cuz I quite enjoyed that bit. This fades in about 3 hrs.

Imp: Strong heady floral. Is there jasmine? My nemesis, oh no…. Wet: Fumey flowers with a dusty dirt tone to it. Deeper, there is a cloying sweet floral, but it's masked for now under the dry dust. Drying: This has a very earthy tone. Like dirt blowing in the wind, dank mosses hanging from trees and a strong floral. I still think the floral is jasmine like, which is bad for me. It's luckily not going catpee, but it's enough to turn me off. Something is almost…mildewy. I spoke too soon. Within 15 mins, it's mildewy catpee. My skin has a way of distorting jasmine to very bad things. I think the earthy notes are actually intriguing, and I love Beth's earth notes in other blends I've tried. But this one goes bad jasmine on me. This jasmine isn't as bad as some, though. I actually DON'T feel the need to scrub my arm, so I'm sticking it out…. Late drydown: (3 hrs or so) This has faded to a sweet perfumey, slightly mildewy floral (at least the catpee went away). Oh, and there IS a touch of incense (unburned). Overall: Ah well, some things are not meant to be. And for me, those things usually are my-skin+jasmine. Ah well, I tried. I enjoyed the dusty earth notes. I didn’t enjoy the bad jasmine. To the swaps.

Imp: This smells like the herbalist’s shop at my local renaissance festival. I can’t pick out any notes. Wet, this is pretty, if a little “perfumey”. Wet: Florals, herbs and myrrh. I still can’t pick anything specific out, its just very well blended. Drying: This seems to be going mostly floral, and very perfumey, with a little soapish tinge. This floral is a bit dry, and kinda reminiscient of…jasmine. Hrm. My nemesis. By 20-30 min, this settles into a floral dry incense. Not smokey or burning incense. This is like an unburned pile of incense. Its very dry, so much so that it's almost powdery. A complex perfumey powder. Overall: Dry florally unburned incense. It does strike me as a very ritualistic scent. It’s a bit oppressive for me, actually. This lasts well over 8 hours. It smells good, but its not for me personally. I think many would like this, though. I'll be shipping this off to a friend who seemed interested.

2005 version: Bottle: Overwhelming florals. I'm worried about this…. Wet: Strong heady flowers, but they are dry and dusty, almost like dried flowers. This is all supported by an undercurrent of distant smoke. Drying: This is an impressively dry and dusty (I'm thinking now that's the leaves) floral. No tobacco or candy yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. In about 10 minutes, it becomes apparent: "oooh, there IS chocolate in this." It’s a dusty far-away chocolate, giving a hint of scruymmy food to the dry smoky floral/leaves combo. Its insanely complex. Overall: When this went on as a strong floral, I was really dubious of the outcome. But this settled into a smoky/dusty/dry/chocolatey amazingly complex blend. Its sweet and dusky and I can't stop sniffing it. This reminds me of a less smoky, more feminine Devil's Night (I love devil's night, but this is the more swooshy girly dress version of the powerful dark DN). Great throw and it lasts about 12 hours. Mmmmmm….. Editied to add: I let this age for ~5 months and tried again. It was the same as before, but richer the whole way, and the chocolately candy shows up a little earlier. I also think the "dusty" from before has developed into a more earthy soil note. I wore this at night and the next morning i can still smell it lingering, at which time it is a light chocolate, no more florals. Such a pretty blend, but its something I've decided to part with. may it enjoy its next home....

Bottle: Apple, Fig and Plumeria. This is a really sweet floral with a deep juiciness. Kinda the same level of juiciness of Titania, but Titania was full of bright, white fruits, and these are a bit redder, more complex. Wet: A bit woodier now, still apple, fig, and plumeria. With a hint of the pomegranates. Drying: Sharp but sweet floral, deep fig, bright pomegranate, and warm woods. Crazy juxtaposition. Mmmm…And while its not listed, I kinda feel like I'm getting a tinge of banana from this. I can smell rose, but there are so many other glorious things going on that the rose is (for once) and understudy to the other notes. Usually rose takes over, but this one is nice, it simply supports. Dry, this goes woodier--an exotic wood with rich tropical fruits and heavy sweet blooms. Overall: Ultimately, this settles into a palm wood and fruit blend, with a hint of heady florals. I love that its fruity/woody/floral all at once, without being overwhelmingly any category. Lasts about 4 hrs. I have a 5mL of this, and I'm glad that I do. I think this will be perfect for spring/summer wear, and I have plans to scent some cremes with it. This reminds me a bit of manila. I'll have to compare.

I really like Midnight for a light floral. And maybe try Amsterdam, too. Its a very light aquatic floral.

Bottle: Jasmine and Jasmine and Jasmine. I'm very worried, since jasmine usually does very bad things on my skin. Wet: Well, so far, this jasmine is not bad. This is jasmine with a sort of medicinal note behind it. Its slightly anaesthetic, which I think is the cardamom. Dry: Reasonably okay jasmine (not catpee like some other jasmines, but I'm just not a jasmine fan), with that numbing ylang-ylang? smell. I give this blend props for not going soapy yet. It’s a sweet heady floral with a hint of medicinal spice. No fruit or resin. By 30 mins in, this is a one-note wonder, all jasmine all the time. Overall: Okay, as far as jasmine goes, this one is good. It doesn't go cat-potty on me as some other blends do. I should look over the jasmine blends I had bad luck with and see if they were other than night-blooming. Lasts 4-5 hrs. This scent is pretty, it just isn't me.

Bottle: This is definitely spice. But in the bottle, there is a very odd tinge. It reminds me of…cat treats?! You know, those little soft Pounce ones. So, this smells like spice and cat treats. Hope its better on! Wet: I smell almost all cinnamon, but sort of the red hot/big red variety. At the very end, I catch a whiff of clove. Early Dry: There is that tinge of cat treat remaining, making it cinnamon, clove and cat treat. Maybe that’s the white pepper? Luckily, the cat treat is gone by the 30 min mark. Late dry: This dried down to a predominantly clove smell with a bit of bigred gum cinnamon. Overall: Lasts 5+ hours. This is a very nice spice blend (once the cat treat smell goes away). I think it would make a good house scent, but I don't think I could pull it off as a perfume. But then….this got mixed with O on my arm. And Smut. Mmmmmm…..I'm considering keeping 3 witches around just for blending possibilities.

Bottle: Chocolate oranges, those ones you get at Christmas. Wet: Chocolate oranges with a hint of darker berry. This is a very creamy chocolate, not the dark, dusty cocoa in some other blends. This is more like a really strong unrefined cocoa butter. I feel like I’m getting a tinge of honey out of this blend as well. Its golden sweet. Drying: Hint of powder. There is a bit of floral coming ot this, I think. Its still predominantly chocolate, but I'm getting a not similar to that in florence, which I can only assume is the iris. The floral makes it smell like clean chocolate, which sounds weird, but I like it… Dry: Chocolate cherries, dipped in orange honey, and a lone iris lying next to the plate of decadence. That's what it smells like to me. I really like it. The late drydown is a honeyed chocolate with a slightly powdery iris? note. Overall: This lasts 6-7 hours, and I catch glorious whiffs of it every time I move my arms. Its not a perfume I would wear often (too foody/sweet, and I don't pull off chocolate well for everyday purposes), but I think it will be a great comfort scent, and I might put some in a lotion… I need to compare this to some of my other chocolate blends. ETA: Its a year and 5 months later. When I tried this on today, it was still quite chocolatey, but the orange was less. I got orange in teh beginning, but now there is a great deal more currant evident. Along with a slight woodsy note to ground it. Still very yummy, and the most chocolatey of the 13's I've tried so far (haven't tried July 07 yet).

Imp: I wasn't expecting such a floral from a DB blend. Its strong lilies and floral with just an undercurrent of the spicy cherry I associate with wet dragon's blood resin. Wet: This goes on straight up soapy. I was afraid of that, given the intensity of the florals in the imp. I think the lily is responsible for the soapifying factor. I can actually catch a whiff here and there of distinguishable lilac (impressive, since I'm usually horrible at picking out florals). There is just a hint of sweet dragon's blood to this, but it fades in about an hour. By 2-3 hours it has faded into a vaguely nice-floral-soap skin scent, and it fades quickly past the 3 hour mark. Overall: Not for me. I don't do florals much, so this didn't come as a surprise. I'm glad I gave it a shot, though. This is definitely a unique Ars Draconis, since I don't usually think of DB blends so strongly floral.

Bottle: Sweet (I think that’s from the plum and benzoin). Cassia and deep patchouli and musk. Wet: All lovely cassia. I can see the comparisons to Blood Moon here (which I love), but I think this isn't quite as round and smooth as that. This is sharper, grittier, and dirtier. I don't really smell the fruits in this. Drying: As it settles, this takes on a soap smell. Um, that was TOTALLY unexpected--none of the notes in this are typically soapy on my skin chem…. Dry: 30 min-1 hr: Spicy sweet, slightly patchouli FLORAL? SOAP? Argh. What is wrong with my skin chem!? By 2 hrs: Well, the soap mellowed, thank god. Its now a much smoother sweet spicey smell. I’m getting the benzoin and cinnamon with an almost amber powdery note (cept I know there's not amber in this). Just a pinch of gritty patchouli--in a good way. 3 hrs in, and this is but a barely there skin scent. Meanwhile, by the same time, Blood Moon makes me want to have sex with myself. …Lasts about 6 hrs total. Overall: I had the highest hopes for this. And for some unexplainable reason, a list of notes that usually work splendidly for me are turning to soap on my skin chem. No, its not the super-super soap smell I get outta most strong florals. Its more complex and interesting than that, but its enough soapy to leave me feeling disappointed. Oh, Cruel world. I'll be sticking with my rich, spicy, sweet, smooth, beautiful Blood Moon--its in the same family and works a bit better for me, I think. Maybe I'll hit the swaps to get more Blood Moon if possible.

Nocnista shares a feeling of snow moon, too. I think I must've got predominantly fir out of snow moon, and that's what I get from Nocnista, too. Nocnista is defnitely warmer feeling, though, with the upturned earth in there. Depends on your skin chem, as always...

A frimp from the lab, not something I'd noticed before, but the description sounds tasty... Imp: Furniture polish and cherry/almond extract. I'll give it a whirl…. Wet: Whew…the furniture polish is gone, and the blend smells now of "WHOA Cherry" and a deep wooden note. Over the next few minutes, the wooden note amps. So far, the throw on this is amazing. Dry: As this dries, it starts to remind me of intrigue (deep smooth woods and fruit). By the 30min mark, the cherries are almost undetectable, except for the hint of sweetness that lingers (good, cuz often bpal berries amp and turn into air freshener on me). This is a very woodsy blend, more so than I expected. By 2.5 hours, it has faded to a barely there woodsy skin scent (which is longer than intrigue lasted). Overall: These wooden notes are rich, cultivated woods, not the woods in the forest. Woods that are lacquered and polished daily. Like a desk in a old-world style library, with globes and leather-bound tomes resting on it (not that this smells of leather tomes, mind you, but rather, the desk underneath). This is what I'd expect Hearth 2004 to smell like if I'd ever tried it. I'm gonna hold onto this imp for a while, but I wish the staying power were a bit better. Compared to Intrigue: Very similar feel, woods and fruits. Red Queen is island-bound Intrigue's more cultivated European cousin. Intrigue is a bit sweeter, but that's to be expected with the chocolate. I actually can't decide which I like better. So, naturally, I'm keeping both.

Bottle: As soon as I opened the bottle and took a whiff, I had to get out my elegba imp and compare. I have to say that wet, I can't distinguish one from the other--coconut and butterscotch/caramel. This is a saliva-inducing blend. Wet:I can't smell any of the currant, tobacco, amber, insence, etc. This is sweet and oozing golden caramel with deep coconut. Buttery, deep, tropical, and lipsmacking,…But Elegba smelled like that wet, too, and it turned to suntan lotion and playdoh… Drying: ….Suntan lotion and playdoh. Why?!!!!! Why, RL, Why?! *shakes fist at the sky* Dry: In 10-20 min, it is still undeniably suntan lotion/playdoh on me, but there's some tobacco and spice thrown in now (I've got elegba on my other wrist for direct comparison-- I want to pick out every nuance of difference--I refuse to give up on red lantern!). Then, 1.5 hours later, I forgive Red Lantern for its playdoh practical joke: Out of no where, its completely changed. This is incense now. Yay! Sweet, smoky, slightly coconut incense! Not even a hint of playdoh/suntan lotion. That's a mind-boggling transformation! By 3 hrs in, this is a deep, powdery, dry incense. Its slightly sweet, with a shadow of light tobacco and coconut. Deep and sexual. It remains at this stage for 6+ hrs (and probably longer, but it was bed time) Overall: Bottle smell is heaven, first 1.5 hours are heartbreaking with my skin chemistry, but I really enjoyed what this mellowed into. I won't be keeping it, since I can't wait 1.5 hours for it to clean up the playdoh, but I'm glad I stuck through it to smell the happy ending. Throw is average to high.

Thank you to Original Wacky for this quite unexpected frimp! Imp: I get predominantly a quirky sweet berry and an off-putting note (carnation?) . The scent is cacophony to me--there is something unsettling in this. I get a bit of an oddly spiced carnation (bay/laurel kinda tinge, I think). There is something in this that puts me in the mindset of Freak Show (which I didn’t really get along with), and to a certain extent, gypsy queen. Wet: This sweetens up a bit and gets less “unsettling”. There is a sweet powdery hint coming out, which I believe to be amber. Mostly I smell a corrupted berry and a bitter green carnation. The carnation doesn’t smell like the laurel spiced note anymore, but a very astringent chlorophyll. There is something creamy dancing in the distant background, which I believe to be the slightly vanillic heliotrope, which gets stronger as the blend dries. Dry: There is a hint of rancid berry and old people in this. Something is ruining all the notes, and I have no idea what it is. Now I’m slathered in this, at work, and can’t get it off! Argh! Don’t get me wrong, there are good things happening in this blend. The sweet kinda creamy berry floral is nice. But SOMETHING is twisting all those notes to badness. Later Dry: Well, the dirty people seem to have dissipated. Happily, this has turned into a bitter carnation floral with a creamy vanilla berry pie in the back. Its pretty, but its not for me. It also smells a bit of honey now, though I know that’s not a listed note. By 7 hrs in it smells of honeyed spicy carnations, at which point I actually love it. Overall: Well, some unknown note REALLY didn't agree with me in the early stages. Freak Show, Gypsy Queen and now this all seem to put me off in the same manner, but I don't know that common note. I thought it was the bergamot in FS and GQ, but since carnivale doesn’t have that, I’m thinking it could be a shared musk note? The late stage was lovely, but I can't wait 6-7 hrs for a stage I like. I’m passing this onto a friend who is planning a crazy carnation sniff-a-thon.

A great surprise frimp from Original Wacky--Thank you! Imp: The buttery pumpkin from Jack, but with a very tart crisp fruit. This isn't as "foody" as jack, but I fear it will go the same uber-butter route. Wet: 11:45: Immediately all I get is super butter pumpkin. It’s a smell I love, but not one I'll typically wear as perfume. Not to worrry, in about a minute, there is considerably LESS butter pumpkin, and this glorious crisp fruity not starts to appear. Dry: sweet red fruit and buttery pumpkin. But I’m getting an unexpected slight smokines outta this. The longer into the drydown, the more fruity and less butter it becomes--crisp sweet pomegranate, with buttery smoky pumpkin underneath.. The balance is great. Pumpkin alone is too butter/candle-y for wearing (for me), and I shy away from overly fruity, but the two together are lovely and balanced. Lasts 5-7 hrs until it fades to a hint of sweet red fruit and home scented candle. Overall: A good comfort scent, and I think I like it better than jack. Its still not a perfume I'd often wear, but something good for getting cozy, or for a home scent. Great throw before it fades.

Imp: Slightly sweet perfumey floral. It’s a tad gingery/herbal, and a hint of… banana? Maybe my nose is misinterpreting the myrrh (often times, myrrh smells of pancake syrup to me)? Wet: Gingery, slightly fruity (I'm still thinking banana) perfumey smell. Hint of light woodsiness. This is totally not what I expected. Drying: This strikes me a lush damp tropical bloom. This sweetens up on me considerably in the dry phase, and loses the fumy-ness. I can't get over how tropical this smells. I was expecting african spice, though I know the description totally doesn't say that. This is green and lush and sweet, and ever so slightly fruity. The floral is deep and sweet. A lovely floral, but I'm not a floral girl. Overall: This scent screams lush sophistication to me. It’s a beautiful sweet, just-heady-enough floral blend. That's saying a lot, as I don't generally like florals. I don't really get the sandalwoods out of this, and its not at all what I was expecting, but was a lovely surprise. I am glad I tried this, but I know its not something I'd wear.

Bottle: Crushed green plants and marzipan. Wet: My first thought is lush's Snowcake! (though not so much as Dana O'Shee is). But it's got more floral than that. I get a smooth creamy almond smell with a complex blend of classy light flowers. The blend is a light one, but seems to have good throw. Drying: The florals seem a bit greener to me, now. Like fresh buds. There is definitely a "chill" to this scent, though I have no idea how Beth did it! Evergreen? Not really, Mint, I don't think so, Eucalyptus…nope. It feels cold, but I really can't tell why. This is where I give Beth mad props for her enigmatic blendin' skillz. Late Dry: Still has the creamy sweet almond. In fact, I'd call it marzipan. And the budding green smell has matured. Its deeper now, and maybe even a hint evergreenish, though I suck at telling which evergreen it is (at any rate, its one I like, and evergreens don't usually play nice with me). Overall: This does for almond what antique lace does for vanilla. It's gentle, beautiful, complex, understated, and classic. I will cherish this bottle. I see it very much as a comfort scent, and I also think its appropriate for all seasons. Its chill, but doesn't scream WINTER to me. Versitility is a great thing.

Okay, so I’m gonna qualify this review with the fact that the description was unappealing enough to me that I only got a decant, and not a bottle (after making a rule to just buy every moon)…. I'm not a floral fan, and piney smells are quite hit or miss with me. Usually miss… Imp: Mostly, this smells of piney cough drops to me. I know eucalyptus isn’t listed as a note, but this really smells like menthol/euc drops scattered under a pine tree. There is a bit of floral, too. Wet: Sweet coughdrops still. There is a hint of “overripeness” to this. Like overripe red winterberries, if that’s possible. There are florals, but this is predominantly an evergreen/cool scent. Drying: As this dries, it gets more like fresh green flower stems and develops a hint of powdery floral, but its still mostly wreaths and coughdrops. Dry: The cough-drop is much less invasive now. It's more of an astringent evergreen with flowers. It's nicer, but it's not me. There is still the hint of overripe holly berries… Stays true to this scent until about the 8 hr mark, by which time it's faded to barely perceptible winter air on me. Throw is light to medium. Overall: I think this very well portrayed the feeling of cold. The evergreen/eucalyptus makes it quite chill. It rather invokes Christmas time in the outdoors (rather than the foody/cozy indoor Christmas smell). I think Beth did what she set out to accomplish with this blend, and I am glad I got to experience it, but its just not the sort of scent I dig. I'm gifting this to a friend.

I thought Dana O Shee was similar to snow white. Not identical, mind you....Dana is creamy almond/grain/milky, without the greenness of snow white. But both remind me of Lush's Snowcake, so they must have something in common. Not a catalog, but I recently tried La Fee Verte (BPTP special with Balthazaar), and that hit me as the greener parts of snow white. In fact, maybe I should try layering la fee and dana and see if its snow-whitey.... I've never tried spooky, though, so I can't help with that one.
