    Three Witches

    Three Witches ~ Cinnamon is very strong on me, the cloves a little bit lighter, and the pepper just tickles my nose. As many others here have stated, it smells like the Holidays! Cinnamon Brooms, and all the spices that go in Cider or Pumpkin Pie. Another I will be adding to my "Buy a bigger bottle" list!

    Decadence

    Decadence... Almond, cream, orangey (but just a little) honey, maybe a little champaigne. This is like an expensive liqueur, or a lovely hand dipped truffle. Definitly Decadent, and I really want this in a large bottle. It's Gorgeous! l

    Chaos Theory

    I swapped with cuervosueno (thank you!), and Isn't it strange how things work on and for each person. Now I'm not sure what Anise smells like...so this is my impression of Chaos Theory LXXXIII My initial impression from the bottle is coconut, banana, pineapple...kind of a crazy pina colada. On my skin more of a toasted coconut, with a fruity undertone. After a while I'm getting an almost licorice type scent...really interesting fun scent! I really love what Beth has done with this wonderful experiment I hope she decides to do it again!

    something NOT sexy

    The problem (I find) with men is, they think everything is sexy, and must have been done with them in mind. I just asked my husband, and 21 year old son your question...and they said "if a girl wears perfume it's to smell nice for them" LOL!!! Men are so funny!!!!

    Obeah

    Obeah I smell the citrus in the bottle. Orange to my nose. I was looking for the patchouli, but I'm not getting it at all. Leather, that's what I get. It smells just like leather on my skin. (My husband thinks this is hilarious for some reason) It's too masculine for me, so hubby gets it I'm sure he'll like it.

    Jailbait

    Jailbait... My first impression, this took me right back to middle school. Bubblegum, big pink and chewy. But a grown up muskiness underneath. I really like this! This wears really well. Didn't need to reapply at all.

    Chaos Theory

    My Chaos Theory is number LXXXV. This is the most complex scent I've tried to breakdown. It's gorgeous... This starts out with a faintly aquatic note. As it dries a very light floral starts to rise to the top, gardenia (I'm thinking this because it reminds me very much of Old New Orleans but not as sweet) The longer I wear this a very light spiciness comes up. Carnation, with a light myrrh undertone. This a beautiful dreamy soft scent. Floral with spicieness!

    Temperature and BPAL

    I was going to suggest a cooler also

    Scarecrow

    I'm getting a hay smell also. (that could just be because of the name) But around the edges sort of a lemon kind of scent. I think my husband should try this one, as everything he tries smells completely different on him than me. Ahh Chemistry!

    Tempest

    Really just got this scent because of the beautiful description. This is salty, sweet to me. I am reminded of the ocean (I live in San Diego) I'm also smelling maybe just a hint of lime? Wow, I'm blown away. This is a keeper. I don't know if I want a bigger bottle, but I'll definitely keep an imp around.

    Penitence

    I always thought I was a floral type person. Not at all! And here's another resiny scent that is just wonderful!!! The Myrrh is beautiful, and I haven't worn much frankincense, but it blends so beautifully. Works very well on my skin, and I'm buying a bigger bottle!

    Darkness

    This smells completely different in the bottle than it does on my skin. In the bottle sharp, almost a hairspray sort of smell (sorry Beth!) However, once I put this on my skin, this becomes spicey, and dark. I've worn it for the last couple of hours and its still lovely. My skin does good things with myrrh, and it wants to come to the top. It's a much lighter, softer kind of scent than I thought it would be. I'm still debating a larger bottle.

    Serpent's Kiss

    This scent is really interesting to me. Sweet, but spicey in an intense sort of way. This is my first time trying Serpents Kiss. I'm not sure what it is about this oil, it reminds me of someone.....I just can't place it. I like the imp, but not sure if I want an larger bottle.

    Katharina

    Katharina ~ Just lovely and working really well on my skin (I'm two for two today!) Apricot is the topnote on me. It's just gorgeous. The orange I can smell in the background. The musk hasn't surfaced on me yet. Beautiful summer scent. I really love this!

    Vice

    Love this!!!! Vice is a choclate lovers dream Just a tiny hint of orange, and cherry underneath...this is yummm, and it likes my skin! (which means I'm not making it smell nasty) I really love this

    How much does it cost to ship internationally?

    This is off of the BPAL FAQ page ~ FAQ PAGE "Do you sell internationally? YES! Unfortunately, due to the limitations of our current credit card processing system we can only accept PayPal for any orders placed outside of the United States, Canada included. The following is a quick reference chart for international shipping costs covering Canada, Australasia and Western Europe, verbatim from this thread in the BPAL Forums: 1 item = 1 5ml 1 item = 1 10 ml 1 item = 1 set of imps (6 imps) If it's 4 items or less, these are the flat rates: $7 Canada $9 most of Western Europe $10 to Australia If it's 5 items or more = 2 dollars extra to each flat rate. If 10 items or more, $4 dollars extra to each flat rate. For example: 3x5mls + 3 set of imps = 6 items = $9 dollars to Canada, $11 to UK, $12 to Australia Another example: 5x5mls + 6 sets of imps = 11 items = $ 11 to Canada, $13 to UK, $14 to Australia If you live outside of Canada, Western Europe, or Australasia or if you need a shipping quote above and beyond what's listed here, please email Nella with your order [so that we can aproximate the weight and figure out specific shipping costs] and she will get back to you as quickly as possible. All prices are in US dollars, and thus: all payments must be made using US dollars. I apologize for any inconvenience."

    La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente

    La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente ~ Very lovely soft floral scent. However once again, I kill it because I turn ROSE to POWDER!!! This is so very beautiful on everyone but me.

    Decanted...tarted up...

    Like everyone else that has posted about decanting, I too use brand new clean vials and pipettes for my decants. And I either write or type a very small label and tape it onto the vial. It's about 15.00 for 100 vials at at sunburstbottles.com pipettes are .20 each.

    Lilith

    Lilith on me starts out smelling of Wine, then the myrrh comes to the surface. I've noticed with most of the oils that contain myrrh, this is the scent that dominates on me. I was a little worried about the attar of rose, but it's not dominating at all, each scent compliments to make this a lovely wicked scent that I really LOVE. I need to wear this scent with my antique garnets....

    Juju

    JUJU ~ I'm getting Gardenia. This reminds me of Old New Orleans. But this has a smokieness underneath. Not stong, just lingering under the soft Gardenia Scent. I like this. This scent is a soft floral (to me) with a darkness underneath.
