DCXXXIII (633)

This one smells like gummy worms! It becomes powdery but no less sweet on my skin. A dusting of confectioner's sugar, maybe. Mmmmm. I want to eat my hand now.

 

CDLXX (470)

My mother said this smelled like Jeeves fluid and my brother thought it smelled like a store that sells "useless crap and candy." On me, there's a really weird note that was a component of the burnt apple pie smell of a Chaos Theory II decant I tested a while ago. Ick.

 

DCXXIV (624)

My brother thought this smelled like CDLXX but mintier. Mint is definitely a dominant note. It smells kind of like cinnamint candy, or maybe wintergreen. Not bad, but not me.

 

DCXXXII (632)

Decay. Like Hades, kind of. It calms down quite a bit on me, but I still don't like it. Too musty.

 

DXXVIII (528)

This has a slightly soapy gardenia type smell. On me, rather than the plastic I'm used to with gardenia, or the play doh I occasionally get, it's old sweat over gardenia.

Maybe I'm strange, but I just don't like orchid. Giving this a shot, however...

 

This is hard to smell, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's a sharp floral. Velvety and dark but not all that pleasant.

Oh, floral! Why is it I always fall in love with the unreleased florals???

 

Alas, it's going kind of odd on my skin. Hard to smell, with one of the "cold" notes in it. It chills my nostrils!

The peonies are the strongest note. They make this a fanciful springtime scent. I like the uniqueness of it. It's kind of pink, but also kind of green. One of my favourite lunacies.

This is beautiful Womanly, graceful, floral. I smell none of the notes individually, but they create something wonderful when blended. This smells best on my cleavage, though most other BPAL doesn't change with scent location.

I hate apple in perfumes. It always smells icky - Delirium bugged my allergies, and The Perfumed Garden smells faintly of urine. I'm actually kind of afraid to put this on my skin...

 

If anything, it's getting worse. This may be the most unappealing perfume I've ever smelled.

One of the Lab's "chilly" notes really loathes me. It's in here, giving me a whacking great headache. I can't even comment on the smell because if I sniff too closely, it hurts! V. depressing.

I smell the plum blossom, peony, and lotus root, but where's my musk! And my ginger, for that matter. Well, no matter. My skin has consumed it.

This smells powdery even when wet. The cotton blossom is so faint it's almost nonexistent, and it's the strongest note. This could be pretty on someone else, though.

CCXXXIX (239) reminds me a bit of Underpants. It's not foody on my skin, though. I smell a latex note! Wonder what note my skin is rejecting this time...

 

There is something floral there, but I can't get past the WTF of latex.

Lemon.

 

Still lemon.

 

Ooh, now it's lemon dish soap!

 

 

It doesn't suit me as a perfume but I'll keep my imp for sniffing.

I mostly smell cypress and tonka. The patchouli and cypress make a good combo, but it may be too heavy for me. However, my skin tones the patchouli down after the inital blast. I like this. I can smell the rose; it's very powdery.

Why was I expecting white rose? I don't get much floral. It's kind of creamy. It's really pretty and understated. A bit like Dorian. My brother smells vanilla, and so do I.

This is the prettier cousin of Dragon's Blood. I think it's the cherry blossom. I can't really smell it, but I think it makes Dragon Moon rather feminine. On me, there is something kind of fruity! It's not a typical dragon's blood scent, but it's fantastic all the same. My mother says it's citrusy and woodsy, and my brother agrees. I loooove it!

In the imp, this has a note or two in common with the scents I always describe as musty, but Doc Buzzard isn't musty at all. I think I smell some kind of voodoo thing. That's what I am thinking about. This is really masculine. My brother says he smells cinnamon.

I smell vanilla and sugar and cake. My mother thinks it smells like pineapple uspide-down cake. The cake smell gets even stronger. She says it's too sweet. My brother thinks it is overly vanilla. I'm glad I got to try it, though!

The rosewood is beautiful. I really hope this is as great on me as in the imp! I think the hazel is coming through. The rose leaf is kind of acrid. I'd like to try layering this. I have an imp of Rose Red here, so I'll try it. It's a pretty good combo, so I'll keep Seance.

I smell mint. And something purplish, the violet. I think I smell eucalyptus, too. On me, the mint and eucalyptus are dominant. The mint isn't all that wonderful, and it gets worse and worse as it wears. Alas.

This is slightly play-doh in the imp, so I'm not feeling too optimistic. My mother says it smells too heavy. I read the notes to her and she says there are too many heavy ones. She blames the lily for the the ick factor. She says lilies smell like death, and Pannychis smells like something died on my arm, so I suppose it's fitting. Wow this hates me.

I can smell the apple very strongly. It smells kind of boozy. Something yeasty comes through on my skin. I find it very unpleasant. To the swaps with Verdandi.

I just burned my nasal passages with cinnamon. It's way too strong for me, so I'll swap it.

I smell the lemon verbena strongest, but it calms down when I apply it. I love green tea! So I really like Shanghai. Unfortunately, my skin eats it, so I've given my imp to my mother, who likes green tea even more than I do.

I can smell loads of grapefruit, but not much else. On my skin, the grapefruit dies immediately, replaced by currant and musk. It's not a combination I much like. The sweetness plus musk doesn't do anything for me.

Musty. Violently musty. I think it's the vetiver; I hate that note and it hates me right back by amping. All the scents with vetiver conjure up a specific memory of a massively musty place. This is not for me.

This is a really pretty floral in the imp. Unfortunately, it begins to smell faintly of tobacco on me. I'm hellishly allergic to tobacco - walking by cigar shops makes me sneeze, and smoky venues give me breathing issues a couple of hours later. Thank god this was only a sniffie.
