    Obsessed with Tomato Leaf

    I am absolutely obsessed with the tangy, bitter, refreshing smell of tomato leaf. I haven't tried the bpal tomato leaf note, but I really want to! Does anyone know if this is going to be released? Also, a search for tomato doesn't yield any perfume results. Does anyone detect this note in perfumes you've sampled? Thanks!
  2. Though it doesn't sound just like the scent your describing you may want to try black forest. A very woody musk scent to me!

    The Hanged Man

    At fist: kind of fruity and sweet. As it dries it is getting herby and green, but there is still an undertone that reminds me of some kind of candy (can't remember which kind though). It is now getting an aquatic scent to it. This is a very nice, non-soapy, non-commercial perfumey aquatic.

    Ace of Swords

    Piney and fresh. Very clean smelling. It stays herby, sharp and clean throughout. Very delicious.

    Ace of Wands

    Hmm. Floral, cinnamon and dragon's blood? It's getting a bit medicinal now. It is a light, slightly sweet scent. I'm don't generally like dragon's blood, and this blend is no exception.

    Ace of Cups

    It starts off fruity in a bubblegum sort of way. It actually has that slightly bitter bubblegum smell that a bazooka joe gum has. The bitter gum scent has gone away. It is now more strongly floral--perhaps jasmine? Overall a sweet fruity/floral experience.

    Ace of Pentacles

    Smokey, woody and piney. Something medicinal is coming out as well. It smells a bit like vics vapo rub now. After the mentholy scent dies down a bit a resiny scent comes out. Myrrh maybe? Patchouli? Overall, I would like this scent quite a bit if it wasn't for the menthol smell I got from it (and where it came from, I have no idea;-) )

    The World

    At first: woody and fresh. Something herby or anisey in with the woods. After a bit: Cinnamon and other spices! A very sweet cinnamon that blends nicely with the woody notes. This is actually a pretty light woody/spice scent. Not light as in throw, but light as in not dark or oppressive. As it dies down it gets a bit soapier (maybe some floral doing this) but it is still pleasant.

    Judgement

    At first: smells like a very stern men's cologne. Some deep resins and and maybe some pine. It is brightening up a bit as it settles. Interesting, it's now getting a soapy element. It has sharpened up dramatically. Ok, its flipping around again. This is a major morpher. I think there's some myrrh and perhaps a floral in there as well. It's now sweeter. The strong floral is coming more to the foreground. It has a floral finish.

    The Sun

    Hmm, citrus and woods? Some herby notes as well. It's turning sweeter, but still citrusy. Kind of like sweet tarts or smarties. As it settles the woody notes come out a bit, but they don't take over the sweet tart vibe.

    The Moon

    Sweet, light and gentle. Is there lotus in this? If my memory serves me right, this smells quite a bit like the celestial luna. As it dries the sweetness becomes stronger. It's a very lovely floral, but definitely not for me.

    The Tower

    Wow, I have no idea what's in this scent. It's herby and sweet. Somewhat watery. It's doing that sticky sweet kind of thing that dragon's blood does on me. Ultimately, too sweet for me!

    The Devil

    Bright, sharp and watery.There is something herby in the mix, and something kind of sweet as well. As it's drying a woody note is coming out, and it is mellowing out. As it dries further a medicinal/soapy note is coming into the mix. Now some spices are coming to the foreground. It finishes bitter/woody.

    Graveyard Dirt

    (I believe the imp I've tried is the Black Broom version) If you are a dirt sniffer, you are going to love this. This is the scent on your hands after spring planting. The scent of the forest floor when you get down on hands and knees to look at something closer and you get a deep whiff. This is the scent of gardening, mushroom hunts and rainy days slogging through the woods. It is more glorious then I imagined, and I'm going to have to find more of it. Soon

    Temperance

    Light, slightly sweet and watery. Very cool feeling and refreshing. Some sort of smooth, light floral. Very evocative of the meaning of the temperance card.

    Death

    Very grounding. I'm smelling patchouli I think. It's like the duff in the forest but with something a little more bitter and unsettling thrown in. I think the bitterness may be myrrh. It's doing that somewhat medicinal thing that myrrh does on me. It got more bitter as it dried down.

    Justice

    At first, very citrusy. Maybe grapefruit? It's becoming a bit more masculine. That yummy smooth citrus masculine like King of Diamonds. There may be a soft light floral in there. Maybe a white musk? It's getting sharper and more 'perfumey' as it progresses. Ah, its become citrusy again. Now its mellowing out and is warm and smooth. Yumm.

    The Wheel of Fortune

    Initially: Very medicinal...like vicks vapo rub. Some eucalyptus? Some anise? Less vapo rubby now but still very anisey. It's sweetening up now. Smelling a bit fruity. It is a very peculiar scent! I can taste it pretty strongly as well. It's finishing up very sweet and fruity.

    The Hermit

    Woody and a bit bitter. It's mellowing out now and getting sweeter. Arggh! I have no idea what's in this. Something is a bit floral and watery. It's a taupe or khaki colored linen scent.

    Strength

    Intially: Cucumber? After: Light and grounding. Very smooth and mellow. Maybe some sandalwood. It's yummy and comforting.

    The Lovers

    A very nice floral. Perhaps ylang ylang? Maybe some neroli? There is an herby scent peeping out now. Maybe some woodiness as well calming the floral down. Altogether nice!

    The Hierophant

    Cinnamony, but very sweet and light cinnamon. I almost feel as if there is some lotus in the blend giving it that lighter, watery sensation. This is a very pleasant, not in your face kind of cinnamon scent.

    The Emperor

    Initially very soapy. The soap has died down, and a sweet floral has begun to emerge. There may be some dragon's blood in here as well. It's getting a bit soapy again as well as spicy. I can't place the floral, but it is giving me a bit of a headache. Many florals do though, which is probably why I don't know a lot of them better:-)

    The Empress

    Lots of roses, and some musk. This is a beautiful sensual rose scent.

    The High Priestess

    I know this smell, but I can't place it. There may be some mint in there. Yup. The mint is quite a bit stronger now. The mint is now overpowering the first smell, so I can't tell what it was any longer. I think it might actually be penny royal. This is my favorite bpal mint scent so far. It's sweetening up quite a bit as it mellows. It's delicious!
