IN the imp: delicate white floral. on the skin-amazing, soft and gentle flowers. Like the breeze in Hawaii after 15mins: sadly too soft, no staying power on me. This is so yummy I want it to be stronger, maybe if I use more of it. Anyone wanting to get rid of their bottles of it, I'd be happy to swap.

From the Illyria collection: Wistful and vulnerable: lotus, water blossom ivy, stargazer lily and white rose. I got an imp in a swap, but love the flowers listed. In the bottle: a strong mix of rose and lotus hits my nose, very pungent. On the skin wet: a pretty, girly floral bouquet. Like a wedding bouquet. On the skin dry: The rose mellows and the lily and lotus comingle into the most amazing smell. I want to have a gorgeous spa type of bath room filled with this fragrance. Its very soothing and uplifting. I feel very "pretty" with it on. Not cutesy girlie pretty but PRETTY Pretty if that makes sense. I will be buying a 5ml of this for sure.

White Light This is my first TAL Oil, and I agree witheveryone else. Its lovely In the imp: a soft floral with a hint of greeness (eucalyptus) Wet on skin: Interesting-a creamy smell with a sharp Eucalyptus tone. Sounds weird, but was very nice. Dry: It has morphed into being a floral cinnamon scent. I usually don't acquaint cinnamon with calm, but thats how I am feeling... After a while: The floral scent comes out but the cinnamon is still there. Its interesting-I know I keep saying that! I'm not really big on spice smells, but this is different. Magick-I haven't done a ritual, but really wanted to try this as I just got it, so annoited my chakra points and palms as suggested and felt an immediate effect. I feel lighter and my head is starting to spin (which for me means, I am about to have some visions). The most UNUSUAL effect is that my palm points feel "open"..as if they are pierced and energy flowing thru like water. I would LOVE to try this before a Tui Na massage or Reiki treatment, with a willing client of course. I think it would help facilitate the flow of Qi into the client. I'm very very pleased with this...and have to sign off now, because theres too much spinning going on. I'll report what I get from it in the morning. cheers. --------------------

Saturnalia- Unrestrained revelry, unchained licentiousness! Violet deepened with vetiver. Got this as a frimp some time ago, its been stting in mybox unopened. This is one I would never have bought, since I didn't feel any pull towards it. For some reason today-it felt right to put it on. From the bottle-odd,sharp green notes-like fresh cute flower stems. A bit astringent. Put it on, it mellowed a bit to a pale flower scent-not sweet or cloying.Within about it an hour, it completely morphed into a rich/dark musky smell. A bit like high ritual incense and deep sexual musk....Very empowering and strong smell. 5 hours later, its mellowed but still very much there. This has probably been the longest lasting BPAL scent I've tried. I like this. I will incorporate it into an appropriate ritual at some point. Astrologically Saturn "rules responsibilities, restrictions and limitations of life, and the lessons you must learn in life. It does not deny or diminish imagination, inspiration, spirituality, and good fortune but it does demand that these things be given structure and meaning."
