In the bottle, this is just gorgeous and I see the Snow White resemblance that many people have mentioned. However, on my skin it's soapier and sharper than Snow White, and I'm not entirely sure it's wearable. I get hints of Snow White but it's overwhelmed with something slightly unpleasant. I'll hold on to this for awhile and see if it mellows out, but it wasn't the Snow White replacement I thought it would be.

I wore Eclipse a lot last fall, and now that it's winter I decided to give it another try. In the bottle, it's awful. Cherry cough syrup awful. Wet, it's just as bad. It quickly dries down, however, to gorgeous and subtle cinnamon/almond scent. It smells faintly of cookies, but not in a foody way. It's warm, cozy and comforting-a perfect winter scent.

I wasn't expecting to like this but picked it up on a whim. In the imp, it smells like candycanes, and I really don't like strong peppermint. But it quickly settles down into a smooth, creamy vanilla mint and it's absolutely beautiful. Overall it's very soft and I'm resisting an urge to slather, but I will definitely be picking up a bottle before the yule scents disappear.

Odd-this is very, very masculine on me. It's nothing like what I expected. Instead, all I get is straight up masculine soap. Bummer.

General citrus recommendations - and discussion of all things orange
eggplant replied to UltraViolet's topic in Recommendations
Cheshire Cat is my all time favorite citrus scent, and I'm usually a fan of the foodier fragrances. I see you already have a 10ml though, so it's nothing new to you! -
All I can say is that TKO is one of the most beautiful scents I have ever encountered. It's all sugar, vanilla and lavendar and while I'm not sure it helps me sleep, at least my sheets and pillows smell amazing.

This reminds me a lot of Harvest Moon 2005, but without the soft floral that comes out in the drydown. It's pretty much a straight up spiced cider scent with just a touch of cranberry. As many others have said, this is going to smell great in an oil burner, but it smells a little bit too much like a candle or room scent to make it wearable.

My favorite apricot scent is Yerevan, did I mention that already? Carnival Diabolique also smells gorgeous in the imp but does awful things on my skin. Worth a shot though, if you're looking for apricot. Peach, on the other hand, smells like body odor to me so I can't help you with that one.

Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

I'm going to millionth the Snow White/Dana O'Shee comparison. -
This is delicious. I didn't bother sniffing the imp and tried it out immediately. At first sniff (on my skin), it smelled kind of...off. Then it immediately blossomed into something familiar and amazing, and it took me a few seconds to place it. Cranberry Orange Muffins. And then a hint of gingerbread and pumpkin creeps out. I thought that Jack was everything I wanted Gingerbread Poppet to be, but I was wrong. This is the best of both of them rolled into one. Definitely a gorgeous fall scent.

First applied this smells exactly like caramel apples right after the first bite. Why did I think I'd want to smell like this? I applied the tiniest drop but it has somehow amplified and the caramel just keeps getting stronger and stronger. Not for me.
-
Jack is everything that I was hoping Gingerbread Poppet would be. Absolutely delicious-warm, spicy and most importantly, subtle. I don't actually get much pumpkin, but I love it nonetheless.

Wow. Kindly Moon reminds me so much of Acqua Di Gio, which I wore and loved in higschool. It's a cool gentle floral, somewhat "aquatic" and definitely unlike any other BPAL I've tried. It might be a little too strong for my taste, but otherwise something I would enjoy wearing. ETA: It dries down to a much more subtle scent.

I just applied this one randomly and I'm really surprised how much I like it. First applied it DOES smell like blowpops, especially the bubblegum center. It quickly mellows down into a delicious fruity sugary scent. I smell the guava but there's something else that anchors it and prevents it from being over the top sweet. Maybe the pepper? Anyway, I love this one, and I'm glad the carnival is around for an entire year because this is going to be a perfect summer scent.

I smell like the inside of a wooden chest of drawers, but somehow it's starting to grow on me.
