    Chimera

    chimera smells...weird in the bottle to me. i had an imp of this and remember that i wasn't too impressed, cause i swapped it away. now i'm glad i bought a partial bottle to check it out again--this hits on all my scent loves! cinnamon and honey, with a sexy kick. love.

    Gypsy Queen

    Zzzzz. Gypsy Queen is a little stale on my skin...kind of bleh. This one is probably for my swaps pile.

    Peony Moon

    wow! no wimpy floral here. i was expecting something a lot less bold from peony moon, but it's actually got a lot of pleasant throw. the plum sweetens it nicely, but to my nose this is a very fresh, clean bouquet. very nice, without the usual 'old lady' feeling i get from a lot of floral blends, though on the drydown this threatens to go a bit soapy.

    Pink Moon 2005

    I'm so glad I got an imp of this...now I can't wait for the new Lunacy I agree, it's very pink. But in a good way--girly and sweet, with a hint of florals. I was struck by how I could detect each of the delicate layers of scents in this particular blend...maybe because my imp is so obviously aged, it smells lovely. I'll be happy to pick up a bottle of this.

    Spanked

    i love this! i can't believe i didn't try it sooner, i was just turned off by the leather note. i get a sweet hint of bourbon, spiced up with cardamom. luckily the leather doesn't interfere too much and make this masculine on me...it's very very nice. extremely sexy!

    Doc Buzzard

    i put the tiniest dab of the doc on my hand and it's wafting about me beautifully. i'm not usually one for masculine blends, but this morphs on my skin into something very nice. resin, tobacco, and a healthy splash of lime...i can't pick all of the notes out, but i think this is the most unique thing i have ever smelled.

    Queen of Spades

    yet another incredibly rare that i've fallen in love with...i'm grateful to the lovely princessbeena for my bottle. the plum and berries give this musky blend a beautiful sweetness, i get lots of throw and pleasant wafts of the scent as i move about. glad i splashed out the cash...albeit it a *lot* of cash...for this one.

    Frumious Bandersnatch

    warm and spicy, just how i like it. i'm surprised by how much i like this one, though i can see where the 'craft store' comments come in...it DOES smell like you've just walked into the potpourri section of hobby lobby. *but* it's pleasant on my skin. i don't know how often i'll be wearing it, but i do enjoy this blend.

    Love in the Asylum

    i seem to smell the same rose as in 2 5 7 (which had every rose imaginable), but this is far less sweet. powdery...pleasant but not something i'll reach for often, if i keep this bottle.

    Morocco

    warm and musky, but a bit blander than i thought it would be. i keep sniffing hoping it would go one way or the other, but this is a bit disappointing. i almost think this would be enhanced by something sweet! maybe layered, with O. mmm

    Fruit Moon

    very nice. i was scared of possibly ending up with overripe fruits...but fruit moon is very juicy and fresh smelling. i love it.

    Storm Moon

    this smells exactly like the air before a storm. as it dries, i can definitely detect the 'lunar oils' from other lunacy blends, but storm moon is simply too ozone for my tastes. i might hold on to this though, and give it a try in summer weather.

    Saw-Scaled Viper

    oh, what a glorious scent for a sweet and spicy scent lover like me! i got my bottle from ah xia, who knew it would be right up my alley this is STRONG right from the bottle, and so in your face that my eyes truly did threaten to water. but don't be discouraged; on the drydown this turns into sweet ginger and cinnamon love. i love it, and i can't wait to see what happens as it ages. lovely.

    Antique Lace

    this is a haunting scent...very light and feminine. i was almost turned off by the dry, powdery notes but on reflection, that's exactly what gives antique lace it's charm. this has dried to something very classic, and beautiful. nice.

    The Phantom Calliope

    so. good. it's cherry! it's spicy! it's spicy cherry cola! i don't know how i overlooked this scent. must have more.

    Honey

    *finally* got to try some precious drops of single note honey i took a long shower with Lush's Honey I Washed the Kids (yum!) and then slathered myself with my testable sniffie of Honey SN. I smell absolutely delectable...but not at all how I expected. As an avid honey lover, this is not the sticky and sweet I was thinking of. It's almost musky...very strange. I'm not saying I don't absolutely love this blend, cause I do...I just wish it were more bee and less beeswax! I can definitely see why this shines when blended in scents like O.

    Snowblind

    so far...this has been my perfect bpal mint scent. it's a shame it's so rare, i'd definitely buy a ton of it.

    French Creole

    this is the first bpal that i've tried for magickal uses...no effect yet but i do enjoy the warm spicy clove and cinnamon. this one seems right up my alley.

    Nuclear Winter

    i continue my hunt for the perfect mint bpal. sadly, nuclear winter isn't it for me...it's like an herbal menthol, which makes me smell like toothpaste or extra gum. something just doesn't sit right with my chemistry, so unless it smells better on my SO it's off to swaps.

    Formula 54

    i'd almost cheat on voodoo queen for formula 54...but unless some sort of miracle happens, i doubt i'll be able to lay hands on any more. this blend got a big thumbs up from my boyfriend...i think it's the best clove bpal i've tried thus far.

    Torture King

    even with the allure of sweet clove, torture king is simply too masculine for my tastes. i won't give up my bottle though, because i am definitely going to be dabbing this on my boyfriend.

    Hellion

    hellion is a powdery incense on my skin, resinous and sweet. i'm amping the patchouli (of course) but the plum tones it down into a pleasant enough scent. i can't wait till seamus comes in the mail

    White Rabbit

    the lovechild of milk moon and shub...on tea. i love this. how weird is that?
  24. wikkidraven

    Milk Moon 2005

    milk moon is creamy, honey greatness, and one of those scents that keep your wrist at your nose all day. you can't help but inhale, even if you look like a weirdo. the throw is fairly good, and wearlength longer than you would expect something of this nature to be. all in all, a great blend.

    La Fée Verte

    i have had an amber shortie of la fee verte for ages now, and never tried it because i know it's a bit rare...plus i wasn't too keen on it smelling from the bottle. it instantly turned to baby powder on my skin...so much that i felt like i had just changed a baby in a changing room. where is MY awesome honey, musk and vanilla?!
