    Lyonesse

    This is beautiful! Vanilla is what hits me first, with the sandalwood and amber immediately underneath it. It's fairly musky, but not overwhelmingly so. The florals are barely there. Love this one!

    Jester

    I would probably like this better if it didn't have neroli in it. Mostly this is very berry, but the neroli is putting a sour note in there that's detracting from the fruit. It's a sharp berry, very crisp.

    Jezirat Al Tennyn

    I definitely smell smoke and fire. Also lots of ozone. There's something a bit spicy in here, too. Also a bit of mint. I like this.

    Bitter Moon

    In bottle: Blackberry wine. On me: Pretty much all blackberries. Not really getting the florals at all.

    Toxin

    In bottle: A fruity herbal. On me: Soft dusty florals. Kind of drier sheet-like. Nice.

    Purple Phoenix

    In bottle: Grape popsicles! On me: Purple isn't even the word! Fruit, fruit, and more fruit! With a touch of soft purple florals. Me love!

    Feu Follet

    In bottle: Soft florals. Heliotrope is predominant. On me: The more chemically rose, but it's softened here by the heliotrope. Not really for me though.

    Yuki-Onna

    In bottle: A very weird combination of verbena and jasmine. Not looking good. On me: Citrus hell. Do not want! Blech.

    Glasya

    In bottle: Musky sweet dragon's blood. On me: I'm really hoping this is more dragon's blood than florals. And it is, although much sharper than it smelled in the bottle. Strongly musky/animalistic - hello musk and civet! Getting a *smidge* of the chemically rose, but all in all I like this one.

    Glitter

    In bottle: Pear in wine. On me: I wasn't all that impressed with the old Glitter, but I thought I'd give the new one a go. And...it's Aquanet hairspray. Yuck.

    Typhon

    Very herbal. This is all vetiver on me. If there's sandalwood in here, it's lost on me. Little bit of patchouli, strongly musky. Not really for me.

    Pulse Points

    Old women knitting. Seriously, this is a very "old" scent. The civet is giving a slightly musk-like quality to it, but mostly this is the florals. Even with the "old lady" aspect, I like this very much.

    Pontarlier

    Sweet lovely lilac! Not getting the fruits or rose here. I'm enjoying this very much.

    Ogun

    What an interesting combination of notes! This is strongly gin on me, with a touch of tobacco. My nose is ticking a bit, so I suppose that's the pepper. My dear friend honey isn't amping on me for once - I smell it in the background trying to break free, and I suppose the longer this is on the more it will come out. Not getting juniper or melon here. I thought I would like this more than I do - I think I'll give it another shot before sending it off for swaps.

    Muse

    Lessee - citrus and jasmine. Yeah, this should basically suck on me. *sniff* Not as bad as I thought, but these are my nasty florals, and this is floral hell. More jasmine and lotus than anything else. Not really getting citrus here at all.

    Moscow

    Something in here is going very sour on me. This smells a bit neroli-ish to me, but that's not listed. I think probably what I'm getting most is the bergamot and tangerine. Some of my "evil" florals are in here (rose, jasmine), but I'm not really getting them here. Not getting lily of the valley and barely getting amber. This will go on to someone who will appreciate it more than I do.

    Lilium Inter Spinas

    Very pretty! The florals are definitely dominant over the fruits here - I'm really not getting fig, and the apple is barely there. Mostly this is hibiscus. It smells very clean and homey, almost like drier sheets. I suppose a lot of people will say "soap," but this is a soap I definitely don't mind smelling like!

    Intergalactic

    This is barely there on me at all five minutes after application. It's sweet and slightly fruity, but I can't really identify the sources of either - it's not really a "sugar" sweet. I think I'll pass this on, as it's almost gone on me already.

    Imp

    Very peach, but with darker notes pulling it down a bit - probably the patchouli. Amber is the base note, but the peach is bouncing in and out of it. I'm not sure how I feel about these notes in combination - I think I would prefer a more pure peach.

    I Died For Beauty

    Florals, but not particularly ylang ylang-y or violety. Interesting. This is a pretty, bright, sophisticated floral. I like it a lot. Reminds me of shopping in a sari shop in India.

    Capricorn

    Lots of incense, with quite a bit of resin. Patchouli? Very dry and old smelling.

    Iago

    Well hello De Sade! Seriously, other than being a bit muskier, this is all De Sade - wet black leather that makes me want to do naughty things. Great scent!

    Horreur Sympathique

    Honey bliss! This is musky tobacco and tonka swimming in honey. Lightly herbal. This is everything I wanted Honey Moon to be that it wasn't. Love love love!

    Hollywood Babylon

    Fruity and somewhat foody. I get more strawberry than anything else. Kind of reminds me of one of the very first BPALs I ever tested, Bon Vivant. This also feels like Strawberry Moon's older, more jaded sister. Lightly musky. Despite the fruity, this is definitely a grown-up scent. I'm getting something that smells a touch like leather in the background. Bit of amber to balance out the fruit. All in all, I like this very much.

    The Ghost

    White florals, mostly lily. Lily is one of the florals that tends not to agree with me, but it's not as overpowering and in your face here. This is a fairly "wet" floral, but not hothouse wet. A little heady, but not horribly so.
