Thank you Aviatrix!

Hello! As a newbie to the Lab and the forums, here are my favorite 5 scents (so far), and I am hoping to get some recommendations from those wiser than me. Elf, Bewitched, Pele, Jareth, and Villain

Having never smelled Dorian, and having been a large fan of Labyrinth for a few years, Jareth was my first BPAL purchase. I really enjoy this scent. Straight in the bottle, I get a lot more of the pale musk, leather and a little of the lilac. Everything is a little more concentrated, and smells more masculine in the bottle. Wet on my skin: Leather, tea, and lilac. The musk softens to become more feminine on my skin. Dry: The musk starts to waft back in and balance out the lilac, but not in an overpowering way. Once I let this one air out a bit, I was extremely surprised to find my mum even liked the smell! It has just a little kick that I assume might be the oudh - like DiesMali stated, it gives it a nice rounded effect. This has a nice "throw" - it doesn't fill a room, but it doesn't sink into your skin and disappear, either. It hits that perfect area where the smell will make people want to come closer. I actually try to not use this one too much as I don't want to get too used to the smell and lose the sensation of having this glorious scent waft from my skin. (I also want the bottle to last!)
