BLAARRRRGH super strong, heady florals and incense. As of yet, I think this is the only BPAL I've actually had to scrub off

At the beginning Jezebel was gorgeous - warm, slightly spicy oranges and the perfect bland of florals. But then, WHAM, baby powder. It was so strong that people in my class started to comment on it, and I didn't even slather! (of course, I pretended not to know what they were talking about.)

Somehow, Maiden ended up smelling like pure LOTUS in me. Yes, lotus. Maybe lotus tea, if there is such a thing. But there is no denying the presence of this evil, bubblegummy floral. *Sighs.* To swaps with ye!

Oh my Eternal is lovely. It's so well blended that i have a hard time distinguishing the notes...it's equal parts gardenia, musty rose and heliotrope, with some amber (??) to smooth it all down. It's a bit too old-fashioned for me to wear all the time though, so I think I'll just stick with my imp for now

Aww man I wanted to love this one so much, but sadly it's a little too herby for my skin. Beth's managed to capture a great concept though. This is, indeed, a scent evocative of goassamer spider webs hanging in a dewy herb garden

Ohhh this is just lovely. I agree with the above poster, Beth has managed to somehow bottle a sweet-smelling breeze! When first applied it's green, green, green, but then quickly dries down into something deliciously fresh, light and crisp underscored my creamy florals and - I'm thinking - a little bit of lemon. I think I've found my perfect everyday scent

I adore this scent. I don't get vanilla from this at all, which I was initially disappointed at, but then I realized, who the hell needs boring old vanilla anyway?? This is much better. I agree with all of the reviewers who described it at being impeccably blended. I get tangy, slightly salty sea air, lush, ripe fruits bursting with juice, a *hint* of coconut, and an exquisite musk-and-amber base. This makes me want to sit by the beach and sip watermelon juice, even though there's zero watermelon here. Huh. I just wish it lasted longer! 4 - 4.5/5

I...I...I wanted to love this so much, but alas, it turns into SweeTarts on my skin. STALE SweeTarts. Which is not to say it's unpleasant by any means, but I wanted the bright and PINK!!!! smell everyone else seemed to have gotten. *shakes fist at skin chemistry* DARN YOU!!!

HONEYDEW! This scent brings back waves of nostalgia: it remindes me of the honeydew popsicles I would eat when I was little, and now, by gods I shall have to search for them again. Good throw, but i wish it had more staying power. Still, this is definitely one of my top five scents, even if it's only because I worship at the altar of anything vaguely reminiscent of my favorite melon. I need bottles of this. I'm addicted. Eep. 5/5

Rose, rose rose. With a touch of something spicy and slightly green. But did I mention the rose? I'm a fan of roses in small doses, so I'll only be busting this scent out once in a while.

Oh. My. God. This scent is so exquisitely blended, so lovely, and addictive. I have not been able to take my nose off my wrist. I highly doubt I can elucidate the wonders of the Hungry Ghost in this haze of happiness, so suffice it to say that the top note is definitely grapefruit - sweet, sugared grapefruit underlayed by "crystalline" musk and soft vanilla. I don't get any herbs, woods, or resins, from this, but I don't care. This is a very happy scent, bright and ethereal and carefree. 5/5

I love love love the smell of Burt's Bees. Any BPAL oils that mimic Burty's scents? Particulary Milk&Honey lotion and Lemon Poppyseed facial cleanser...yummmmmm

I second Harvest Moon! By far the best apple blend I've tried so far.

Reading the descriptions and reviews, these two seemed very similar, but I only want to buy one! (of course, I could be completely wrong on the similarity factor) How are they different? Is Holiday Moon more "green" and Empyreal Mist softer, somehow?
