    Batty

    This is such a cute one. Very chocolate like the one in this years 13 at the top, changes to a nice cologney thing, very wearable.

    Wicked

    Well I am not going to jump totally to conclusions, but I may have found the perfect BPAL scent here. This is Caterpillar-ish, but so much more feminine and less like a wizard shop. This is heaven. OMG this. It does smell like Lush's Turkish Delight, those reviews are what got me to buy this. Heaven. 6 out of 4 stars.

    I need more Cherry!

    It's always worth it to dig up some good cherries. IMO : The Red Queen, and Hideous Heart. Also Bat of Wealth. I know I know, no cherries there, pomegranite, but smells suspiciously cherry-esque to me...

    Expressive Head

    OMGosh the Sleeper Hit of the Autumn BPALs!!!!!!! I have never had so many people grab me and say "What are you wearing, you smell amazing!!!" Including my friend who is also a BPALer who said "and if you get back ups make sure I get one"... It starts out WTF is that heavy sort of burning smell, but that is quickly replaced by incensey vetiver not too heavy on the patchouli perfection. Heaven. And long lasting.

    Figs and Fig Scents - alone and in combos

    Athens was totally Fig Newton to me. I think I sent you some Vanilla?

    Halloween 2011 Must Haves!

    After a week or so I have to say the one I am going to need back up for most surely is Incubus Leaving Two Sleeping Women. It feels very much like this years Thirteen to me. Not really feeling Muse of Night, I am letting her sit for a while, and Triumph of Death and Samhainophobia although excellent are at the Boy side of the cabinet now. Muse of Night has made herself at home here, I am loving the fruitiness of her. Expressive Head although not a weenie? is a hit, kind of boy but kind of fabulous. Batty is awesome. Very kind of cake that turns into boy cologne.

    Lyonesse

    ZOMFG how gorgeous is this!!! It starts out very creamy warm vanilla on me, ding ding ding we has a winner!! That is enough to sell me on it. Heh. I sniff something green here too, and very light white flowers. It's not faint though, wow love this one.

    Recs for Longest Lasting Oils

    Just throwing my 2 cents in for the long lasting, for me it's Avenger, and Josie (OMG Josie... heaven...) For my DH it's WILF, 12 hours later, and smelled like, surprise! Snake Oil. Very fabulous...

    Halloween 2011 Must Haves!

    I second the nomination for the Wiley Grasser, off the hook. Also, Samhainophobia is just fantastic. Love The Nymphae Avernales, but it is powdery (which I love) The Zoom. Love love love this. Limey and Dragon's Blood-y.

    The Wiley Grasser

    Beth, you need to stop. How can you take pine and cotton candy and make amazing? For heaven's sake. I almost inhaled my arm. Please send me one gallon of this...

    Monna Vanna

    This went right up to a big bottle. My favorite of the III series so far. Rose haters stay away, this is a sharp beautiful rose, it reminds me of the sharper rose that is in Dawn, not the rounder sweeter rose. Love this.

    An Incubus Leaving Two Sleeping Women

    The patchouli definitely bites in this one, and it's that wonderful dirty earthy one. This one has a dark feel to me, with roundness from the vanilla honey and musk. Ten out of ten.

    Samhainophobia

    Just got my 2011, had a hard time keeping my bottle as I thought my BFF was going to inhale it, in it's entirety. Needless to say more is coming. Deep dark rich with that dirty hippie patchouli. Yum. What is the phobia called when you have a fear of running out of Samhainophobia? This is perfect for me, because there is nothing I hate more than the scent of pumpkin, so I had phobia of Samhain. Got it?

    Muse of the Night

    This one is nice, strong, and very musky. Win. And what I forgot to say was the sharp fruity is the overwhelming part of this one, supposing that would have to be the black currant. It's lovely, and round, if that makes sense, after the first fruity stab. Fine for work, and I work very closely with humans.

    The Nymphae Avernales

    Very very soft, and pretty, a real "lady" scent. I wore this to church today, very quiet...

    Halloween: Las Vegas

    Fabulous. This smells like fabulous. At first it's cake but then the drydown is so much more.

    BPAL for Costume Parties, Halloween Costumes

    For the first one I would do Ghosts in Love (new Weenie) just for the name, or Santa Muerte, just for the feeling of it, and the scent. 1950's housewife?? Hmm, that's harder...

    The Queen's Croquet Ground

    The best rose scent I have ever smelled in my entire life. I need a Hudson Sprayer full of this.
  19. Did anyone add Omen? I don't see it. Also Perversion. And Debauchery.
  20. stellamaris

    Perversion

    Love this. I get no leather though, maybe when my big bottle comes it will come out. I love the tonka, but it's more complex. This is what I wanted Liz and Illustrated Woman to be. Vanilla but more intricate, and less fleeting. This also has the burnt sugar of L'Heure Verte. Heavenly, sweet but with a bite.

    Omen

    Holy moly getting this RIGHT AWAY! This smelled very much like an older Guerlain perfume to me, Mitsouko, but richer and better. More rounded. It had the same depth as Caterpillar, but softer. Coming to my house right now...

    What scents are masculine? Gender-neutral?

    I wouldn't go for aquatics, I would try some nice "boy" things, I would recommend Hellboy, it is a really nice manly scent without being so um, Axe-ish. I also love WILF, my 21 year old son loves that, he also was weaned from the Axe.
  23. stellamaris

    Jezebel

    OMGosh why have you people been hiding this from me!! This is mouth watering orangey orange blossomy goodness! At first I though it might have Dragon's Blood, it had the same sort of feeling. So good, I know this is a big bottle. It smells almost salty? It's fantastic.
  24. stellamaris

    Perpetuum Bonum

    As far as effective goes I give this one 5 stars. As far as scent goes, this one goes to eleven. Cherry heaven.

    Best "look at me" scents?

    Tombeur is the surefire way for me to get compliments.
