    Searching for the Perfect Vanilla?

    Sprinklecake...
  2. Yowza! This smells exactly like what it is described as. It starts off super heavy on the dark chocolate, then it becomes very much like the cherry from the Black Chery Amaretto oil from the last year's TP Yules, and throughout a clear anise/licorice note. Strange and sweet, like Hideous Heart with chocolate. Win for me, love my chocolates...

    The Gentleman

    Wow this is really great, I bought it for my DH and he immediately said, hmm, smells a bit like Obsession (which is what he always used to wear) and damn if it doesn't. I like this, and it is not too "boy".

    Love Oil 7

    This works, hello, and smells great, sort of a hippie floral, if that makes sense. Yeah, works though...

    A Thought from Propertius

    Well, impatient as usual, this is about 12 hours out of the mailbox, and when I first opened it I was like, bleech, why did I buy this? Oh yeah right, apricot, honey, yeah. But wet, aggressive, but it may grow on me, I certainly think it will as the dry down is spicy apricot very delicious and a little nose tickling...

    Chintamani-Dhupa

    Ah ha! So this is sandalwood... starts off sort of sour apple, almost like Glittering Apple of the Stars, then turns incensey, sandalwoody, very nice creamy...

    Khajuraho

    This is a blissful, euphoric blend based on an ancient Indian love potion: honey, date palm, tuberose, davana blossom, amber, white sandalwood, vanilla bean, Damask rose, and champaca flower. whoops! Wrong imp...OK got my bottle yesterday and now I know what all the fuss is about. 2013 version. This is a very lush and creamy incense blend. At the top I smell something that I assume is dates, and the dry down is spicy and very much like Al Azif to me, however I feel like this is more feminine and a little less In Your Face. Love this. UM, Edit...did I say love this? I meant LOVE this. Really really love this. This is a beautiful classic incense, a true Nag Champa incense, gorgeous. I said no more back ups but this one is going to break the rules...

    Corinna

    This is absolutely glorious...I can't wait to wear this one, it's a lovely sweet floral, reminds me not in actuality but in feeling of Leanan Sidhe, and it lasts forever. Oh no...the horror, the horror...I did not notice this the first day I tested it, but today I smelled that watery note others had talked about, there it was, bleech, just ruined it for me, all that jasmine loveliness, drowned. Fortunately my best BPAL pal loves those aquatic thingies, and now she has a new Luper...sigh...

    How long do bottles & imps last?

    If something was bad, trust me, you would know it. I use up bottles with glee and abandon, I have a pile of empties, but that said, I have stuff that is old old old, and still fine. Sometimes better. I don't really like imps except for testing. I like to pour right from the bottle with afore mentioned glee and abandon.

    Skuld

    Eeep! Where have they been hiding this one! I got an imp of this and frantically went on a search through all the five zillion lab categories...all the time thinking, "if this is DCed I will just scream..." but no! There it is! Right next to Urd...and I would say in the same family as Urd, sweet, fruity, very forceful, almost stinky...love this...love it. It's heady and rich, but not overpowering. This shoots to the top for me.

    Marie

    Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous...I keep hearing Elvis Presley in my head, "and Marie's the name, of her latest flame..." More violet-y than The Raven, less vanilla, more of a pure floral. Love this. Ordering BB.

    I do love cedar...

    The Little Wooden Doll smelled like my cedar closet to me...

    Eldrich Dark Bath Oil

    Just freaking vile. Truly truly hate leather, wtf did I order this??? Leather, leather and more leather. I do not want to bathe in fine furniture. Bleech. will be looking for lupers to soothe my shredded nerves...

    Gourmand - Foody Scents - General Recommendations

    Knave of Hearts has just what you describe, IMO, a very mouthwatering butteriness over a floral. I second Hollywood Babylon, but a warning, very Dragon's Blood, IMO. Also Kali, which has a wine note, and Obsidian Widow, with the same.

    Nanshe

    Whoa Ho! Lemons! Get me a bottle of this! Stat! I dunno how the sleep thing is going to go, will let you know tommorow....

    Spice me, baby! The spiciest BPAL blends

    I am a rose lover and therefore looked for the rose, but I found it honestly to be 80 percent chai tea, 20 percent rosewater, not rose.

    Scents for battles in life

    Here's one that I just got, plan to wear it (along with Lionheart on my chakras), I like the scent of it, plus I like the intention, Martian Phoenix...

    Spice me, baby! The spiciest BPAL blends

    It's really perfect, I wore it last night. Also on me it's quite strong and does not disappear quickly, really nice.

    Valentine's day theme- flowers and candy

    You might really love Little Flora, meant to be peonies and cream, which is up on the Yules just till this month is over. It starts out with sweetness and goes to sweet strong floral.

    Spice me, baby! The spiciest BPAL blends

    Mrs Grose, which is now in the Yules till the end of the month is surely the truest Chai tea scent IMO. Get some quick!

    Mrs. Grose

    Very sort of old timey, rosewater and spices. Reminds me a bit of Miss Lupescu in it's feeling. Very warm.

    Mason & Jenkin's Port Jelly

    Amazing. Amazing. So juicy and red-fruity, love love love this. It's fresh but very rich. Love it.

    Little Flora

    Peonies and cream. Very mysterious this one, still trying to figure it out. When I first put it on it smells like the pastry note in Knave of Hearts, but then turns into flowers...weird, but I like it. Strong however, go easy...
