    Whirling Wind Moon

    I bought this when it came out and never reviewed it, but I am wearing it a lot lately in the hot weather. It's funny, I get a very strong "snow" feeling from this one, it's lovely, reminds me a bit of Cloth of Gold. Very fresh and neither masculine or feminine to me, and although it is on the "soft " side it has very nice presence, very decent throw and longevity. This smells cold and winter to me, perfect for summer wearing. I get zero flowers, but much gorgeous.

    Mopsfledermaus

    so. very. good. I love this one, it's sticky and darkly sweet, in the same family for me as Tiresias and The Gorroble.

    Serotine Bat

    Hmm. I don't get a lot from this one. It's kind of a very light vanilla, a bit on the plastic doll head side, but not quite delicious enough. Still working on it...

    Kill-Devil

    Love Kill Devil. I don't know if it actually kills devils, but I put some in an atomizer with some perfumer's alcohol, and it is the perfect layer for other vanilla/foody/boozy things. Molasses and sugar. Rum. Very nice.

    Whipped Cream and/or Marshmallows?

    So weird, I got no cinnamon at all from The Gorroble. And I love cinnamon.
  6. Quickdrawkiddo, my personal favorite BPAL is just black musk and cinnamon, Playful Wooden Mallets. It was an LE from last year. You also might want to try Miss Forcible, from Neil Gaiman's Coraline, it's dark musk and very awesome. there is a sugary note at the top of it.

    Wine, Beer, Rum, Bourbon... the booze scents

    Obsidian Widow is an awesome wine scent.

    Whipped Cream and/or Marshmallows?

    If you like strawberry I would try Love from the Pickman Gallery's Tremulous Song that's out now. Also, The Gorroble from last year's Pickman's was burned marshmallows, and was awesome.

    Scent for Halloween?

    I wore the 13 with the black label today, it smells like me. Word to your mother.

    My Mommy in a Boat

    Well, I did buy a bottle of this after trying my decant, but this is a strange one. I do like it and find it wearable though, I get the SO at the top, and then a really fresh aquatic. I have a feeling this one will grow on me.

    Miss Forcible

    Well, surely there is cookie, right at the top, but then the amazing wonderful musk, wow. I love this. It is a very classic musk, reminding me as did the Siberian Musk SN of Kheil's old Musk, however I find this richer and more substantial than the SN. Edit This and The Other Miss Forcible are now my go to blends, along with Playful Wooden Mallets. I can smell this anytime of day or night, it's just gorgeous. I can't decide which one I like better, but The Other lives in my purse, so it may be that one.

    Arana

    Well, I have never tried AM, although I love many of the other scents at the Steamworks (Obsidian Widow, I am looking at you, and yes, you Galvanic Goggles), but this is very warm and cozy, vanilla and sweet, without being cloying. This is a bottle.

    Cykranosh

    So cherry. So good. So buying a bottle. So there.

    Scent Recs based on your PERSONALITY!

    Yay!!! I am so happy it worked out so well for you. I love Heroine so much, and it is just like what you said! It's funny I always think of the Power Puff girls when I wear it, they are cute but fierce, saving the world before bedtime It's also a scent that you can wear without having to worry if it's too heavy, it's strong but not obnoxious.

    Self-Portrait With Puffy Stickers

    This is the same Strawberry from Strawberry Moon, but this scent is somehow more round and deep. Nothing but sweet tart fruity love over here.

    The Cat

    Musky and gorgeous! I love this, and it reminds me of something, but I cannot figure out what.

    Miss Spink

    ???? cookies? Perversion? What the hell... maybe I should let this sit a couple days.

    My Mom With the Sun in Her Hands

    Zzzzzzzzzzpffffffffft pop, that was my brain exploding...love love love this one!!!!! It's that same warm incense, like Kujuraho, but more better! I don't get the old lady/classic perfume vibe at all, this is some old timey California hippie girl stuff for me. Must have many bottles.

    The Palace of Electricity

    Lemon? Is that you? Come out lemon, I love you... The ozone in this is reminding me of Stormclouds Over the Midway. It's very fresh and nice.

    Fresh, Fruity Florals

    Josie. Beautiful fresh peach.

    What scents are masculine? Gender-neutral?

    Hellboy!! my husband has gone through four bottles of that... That and Lady Death are his favorites, with Debauchery right behind.

    The Court of Honor

    At first this seemed very masculine to me, but as I tend to sweeten things up it dried down into the most amazing soft but strong sandalwood, more later... OK, so after a couple of gos, I have to say I think this may be too "manly" for me, even though I like many manly scents. I find this really really wonderful, but I think it reminds me too much of a gentleman's cologne. That's fine, my husband will love it. Still smells very sandalwood, and it's weird, I would have sworn there was patchouli in this...

    fizzy, sorta carbonated, sparkling blends?

    Yes! My Happy Day! So fizzy, it's adorable. get some you fizz lovers...
  24. Also, another clove county heard from would be Frankincense and Clove Hair Gloss, it's awesome.
  25. Mourning Lace surely, but the cloviest clove that ever did clove is Clemence.
