    Baobhan Sith

    Mmm, so good! This is another great citrus tea mix. If you like Embalming Fluid, Shanghai, or Aizen-Myoo (like I do), you will love this!

    Moxie

    Sweet, yummy, tangy, orangey goodness! Loving it! It didn't last that long though.

    Embalming Fluid

    Love at first sniff! It's similar to Shanghai, but I think with more tea. Great summer scent!

    Cheshire Cat

    Like the Cheshire Cat, it's hard to describe and it disappears! It smells very nice, less grapefruity than I was expecting, but it just went away so quickly on me. I think I'll be swapping it.

    Eat Me

    First I was hit full force by a buttery cake smell that felt a bit overwhelming. Then it sank back and was overtaken by currants! It's like a rich cake dripping with jelly. Still deciding on if I'd wear it or not. I like it, but I'm finding the baked foodie smells are fun, but I like something fresher for regular wear.

    Thalia

    Whoah Nellie! Realllly sweet! I think the floral was too much for me and completely knocked out the pear sadly. It smells like really heavy lilacs and baby powder on me. Oh, well.

    Tweedledee

    Ridiculous! Kumquat, white pepper, white tea and orange blossom. Delicous smelling! It reminds me of orange lifesavers, it makes my mouth water. I think I'm in love. Now I have to try Tweedledum!
  8. The first (and only so far) BPAL my bf likes is Aizen-Myoo, all else he declared as smelling like an "old lady. Luckily Aizen-Myoo is a fave for me too!

    Kali

    I got this as a frimp in a swap. The description doesn't seem like my style, but I'm liking Kali better than I thought I would. It smells sophisticated to me, and the strongest note on me has got to be the honey. That's the most recognizable, almost like honeysuckle. This is my first honey BPAL. It smells heavy, sweet, and bit floral but dark and mature. I think I can get whiffs of chocolate and sweet tobacco every once in a while too.

    The Red Queen

    Smelled strongly like maraschino cherries in the bottle. Once I put it on it faded very quickly. I think I'll have to try this one again because it didn't stick around long enough to really review it!

    Fée

    Got this as a frimp from madelf, bless her heart! Initially it has a very strong melon scent, but it does quickly mellow out and take a back seat to the vanilla. Since I really like fruit that's a small shame, but I'll be keeping it around. A nice and mellow kind of sweet.

    Lady MacBeth

    Mmm, tarty but sweet berry goodness! This worked much better on me than Jester, which was just way too strong of a tart berry. Lady Macbeth calms down into a sweet red berry wine. Very nice! It's fruity and sweet but sophisticated. Thanks to madelf for this frimp!

    Aizen-Myoo

    Yes! I've been pining after this scent for a while and it really lived up to my expectations! Every ingredient is one I love and it smells so good, fresh, and fruity. Two of my fave notes are tea and fruit and this one really knocks it out of the park! This takes me back to visiting Tokyo in December, crows were hanging around on all the persimmon trees. Also, my hostess put a Yuzu fruit in the bath which she said was traditional to do around New Year. This brings back those great memories. The persimmon is sweet, but mellow after the initial citrus kick. Later: it dried down to more of a persimmon/cherry blossom combo that's more subtle but still nice. Sooo good. Thanks to madelf for this frimp! Update: This is the first BPAL my bf actually likes! All the other ones he said smelled "like an old lady". I think florals tend to evoke that response more. Anyway, I'm happy he likes this one as much as I do! (I've been wearing it almost daily)

    Twenty-One

    Ooooh, bubbles! It's magic! I love Swank and I'm loving Twenty-One. Funny since I don't actually like to drink martinis. I associate this fizzy bubble smell with champagne and it works better on me than the actual BPAL champagne notes. It's like Swank but not as fruity-tart. I've walked by Twenty-One in NYC, now maybe I'll wear it and actually go inside! Much thanks to madelf for including this in the boatload of frimps she so kindly sent!

    The Hamptons

    The Hamptons has that bubbly smell I love in Swank, but is a bit sweeter and "younger" smelling. It also sometimes reminds me of ginger ale. Like it, but not as much as Swank. I will finish the imp.
