I was looking for another refreshing summer scent to wear, so I got a decant of this. In the imp, I wasn't really sure, it kinda smelled soapy, but I gave it a try! ......................Yeah........... soap. Maybe a little seas pray in there, but, still soap. In the swap pile it goes.
-
This was one of my, it will be awesome but i'll never get it scents that I actually got a decant of!! And it smells delicious!! And on me................................. powdered sugar note of death. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Powdery sugar death.........why must you do this!!!
-
Hmm........... kinda on the fence about this one. It's kinda nice, but it reminds me of stuff I already have. It's probably going in the swap pile.
-
OMG. When I sniffed this in the decant, i'm like.....oh no. THE POWDERED SUGAR DEATH NOTE.The sugar note Beth uses to make marshmellow. It turns into this powdered sugar note of death for me. Marshmellow Poof, Beaver Moon 07, Snow Angel 08, Underpants, all turned powdered sugar of death. Well, today I got Pink Flamingo, and immediately, I smelled that note. And I thought, well, i'll just try it. And there was the powdered sugar note of death. So I sat for an hour doing some other stuff, and sniffed it again. Powdered sugar.....but with an undertone of.....what is that........ TOASTED MARSHMELLOW YUM. OMG. WOW. I HAVE OVERCOME THE NOTE OF DEATH!

Last year I was chatting with one of the labbies about the yules, and she was telling me she was surprised that Winter of our discontent wasn't a giant hit, because she dabbed a bit on herself and all day was going, "mmmmm" what is that fantastic scent? Well, that is me and Velvet clown. I put a little on myself, and then settled to watch TV with my mom. Suddenly, i'm like, what is that wonderful smell? And I realize, it's me!!! I'm getting something that's like boozy marshmallow caramel with maybe a hint of smokiness, which only makes it more delicious. Must.........get .........more...........

So, Coyote didn't work on me, but I have enabled a friend with it. See, this guy, his name is Wolfe, and he's a coyote furry. And he's one of those who has a sensitive nose and when I opened scents in his presence his nose gets unhappy. Not this one. I open it, he keeps his distance, and suddenly he cautiosly leans in, takes a long whiff, and says in almost disbelief "Thats.........nice......" I want to thank the reviewers who told me it was furry sex in a bottle!

I tried this on at the lab, and it was nice, so I got a decant of it. It was really light on my skin, so I thought i'd give it some time to age. Not so sure if that was a good idea. The almond and orange are having a hard time deciding if they like me, I keep sniffing, and I get a whiff of soap, but then it smells good, whiff of soap, good. I think this might just be one I have to swap out, cause it's not being happy with me.
-
This is one of those ones i'm not sure about. It's kinda light, but it smells good, kinda like a plumy riceefield smell, but i'm not sure if it's worth it to have a lot of it. And then i'm not sure if aging will be good to it or not. ACK! Why must it be difficult! I think i'll probably end up just getting an imp of this, cause it's nice enough to keep aroung.
-
This was kinda a surprise for me, because I really like how this turns on my skin. It's kinda a grapefruity bamboo citrus swanky scent, which was nice because the grapefruit in Cheshire cat didn't like me, which made me sad. This is my happy blend out of the Chinese new years scents because usually the components don't work very well on me. On this, it does. Hallelujah Cheshire moon!
-
This was one of those scents where the notes sounded perfect and they hit my skin chemistry and went WHAT IS THIS!!! NO!!!!! And there was death of lovely scent.
-
Aeaea is a funky fresh grape scent. It's not OH MY GRAPE SCENT OF HAPPINESS!!! rather a ......... huh I smell like grapes kinda deal. I think Blood Phoenix was a more interesting grape, cause grape on it's own is just a weird component, it needs other things to make it be perfect. It's main downfall is it doesn't last long enough to make it worth it.

Persephone76 picked this up for me from the DD trunk show, and I was a little apprehensive about it when I sniffed it. It smelled like strawberries and alcohol.Not boozy, not winey, I mean alcohol. And on me....not much better. It kinda did a wierd strawberry alcohol tango that in the drydown really faded. I had a bit of strawberry, but then nothing else. Not a keeper, sadly.
-
I think a few other ladies who reviewed this had the same problems I did. Every note in this is pure win, perfect notes, and on the skin, it turns into a faint nothing. I get a little sugary skin musk, but it's really light, and that's it. I think I might pick up a decant of this just to see how it ages.......but right now it's made of fail.
-
It smelled minty in the bottle, so I gave it a try. Wet I get snow, just snow. Dry I get a little of the mint, but the snow overpowers it. I wanted there to be more mint. Oh well, it's going in teh swap pile.
-
I got an imp of 07's version, and tried it on, and it's reminding me of Gluhwine. Very sharp harvest wine scent. It's not as strong as Gluhwine was, and it's a little soapy, but not in a horrible way. It dries down to something I can't quite place, it's like a harvest snack that you can smell thats on your skin even after you've washed your hands. Not bad at all.
-
I discovered Snow White worked on me, so I gave this one a try. It was kinda nice wet, but once it dried it was really light, almost gone but with a little bit of the snow and fruits left to not be a total fade. Ice Queen is sadly not my ruling lady.
-
This was an unhappy finding. I tried this on at the lab and it was nice, so I got an imp of it.......and it's nothing like what I tried in the lab. Instead of getting all the lovely vanilla and honey and all those others........ I think the neroli and gardenia take center stage and make everyone else smell....bad. I may give it one more shot, but this one just did not pan out for me.
-
I got an imp of this with the swap I did for HoHoHo, and I have no idea what all the fuss is about. This was nothing on my skin, instant fade. I got to make someone happy with the swap though.
-
I was so happy when Persephone 76 picked up a bottle of this for me at the DD show. Unfortunately, Pink Phoenix flies right away from my skin. I get a little sugar and then gone. *sad panda*
-
I have one thing to say. CHEESECAKE!! This is what I wanted Beaver Moon to be, a light cheesecake scent. It's so yummy and delicious and yummy!!! I cannot wait for this one to age, I think it's going to be spectacular.
-
*sigh* This one was a sad disappointment. Ususally, food stuff and me are like two happy peas in a pod, but no. This stuff has that horrid powdered sugar note that ruined Beaver Moon 07 and Snow Angel.
-
I love this pumpkin, it's my favorite out of all of them......... Jasmine and I usually don't get along but it's really nice and pleasant, it's more sophisticated than a lot of the stuff that works on my skin. It's pumpkin sitting at a tea table with finely dressed ladies, and it's very classy.

Best BPALs for SUMMER - is it hot, sweltering, sticky outside?
RaeiNarcissus replied to Donnababe's topic in Recommendations
Tokyo Stomp. I LIVE in that scent during the hot summer, and i'm talking 100+ California summer. It's perfect. The Lick it line also works, but I like Tokyo stomp just a little bit more.
