I won't review much on the smell of this because I used White Light for its intended purpose. It is not offensive and a bit floral and woodsy and EMPTY. It is like walking into a room and something big is missing. Being empty is not a bad thing. If I didn't use "empty" as a discription, I could say that it is hollow or lacking but those words have slightly different meaning for me. Ahhh...just thought of a better way to describe it- Pure.
As a working oil, I have been using it with a personal illness. The results are nothing short of spectacular and I believe I am recovering nicely. I will have one last blood test done today to confirm that I don't need medication. Now I just need to get over being so tired.

What a great idea! It is 99 degrees here and humid! I never thought about icy/minty.
-
I got this fresh (made 6/10), hand labled, brown bottle of Lucky #20 as part of a swap. This will be primarily a working (versus wearing) oil. Of course I cannot help it and I am wearing it today.
Jasmine, lavender, and herbal. This is a bright green scent and I get flashes of pink. Powdery, smokey, heady and strong. I feel intoxicated (but that could be the margaritas I drank last night) and sleepy.
-
This is the smell of a well aged rose sachet. Powdery-ancient-musty very feminine blend. After a few hours, I can still smell this strongly and it has a sweet smell with the roses.
This is very nice but not really me- reminds me of a sachet and I cannot get past that.
-
Just when I thought I figured out what I wanted big bottles of- this has to be a LE. CURSES!
This is incredible! So well blended I cannot even guess what wonders surround me. 8 hours of wearing it and I still smell divine. This is slightly sweet and spicy, a little deep earthy tone too.
*bows to the lab*
Where some of the other scents morph on me to bring out single notes...this is the perfect blend from start to - well at least 8 hours later.
-
Wet: Juicy-fruity and sweet!
Dry: Still the sweet, juicy scents but it is also soapy.
8 hours: Sadly this turned sharp and soapy on me. *sigh*

... Her scent is a bounty of golden honeyed almonds and a whisper of African and Middle Eastern spices.
Lovely in a dreamy way. Not too sweet and a touch of spice and something warm- maybe amber? I put this on at 5am and at 10:30a it is still very much present.
I will be ordering at least a 5 mL of this. I want to bathe in this- so dreamy! -
I don't get the citrus either. May have to try it again. My initial impression was this would be yum on a man. Bold and spicey with a touch of patchouli.
-
I never got the leather smell...is this what leather smells like?
In the imp: Powerful, musky and captivating.
After dry down: Sexy! This is not a "wear to work" scent but I am wearing it so off to work I go! This is dark and the amber is faint.
Eight hours: I still smell this. It reminds me of a dim lit room that has quiet music and lit candles. This could easily be for a man but I am stingy and I am not sharing. The amber and musk are still very present.
-
... Our blend for this Moon mixes traditional lunar oils with the warmth of amber and heliotrope, the russet haze of dragon's blood resin and crushed orange peel, and a swirl of summertime herbs: chamomile, rue, elder flower and marigold.
This is my second try of Red Moon. The first try did not end so well- the second try and I am in love.
In the imp: A bit fruity and a bit floral and beautiful.
After dry down: I immediatly pick up the spicey and herbal scents. The floral is now fading and the fruit adds just the right sweet.
after 3 hours: This is one of those things I am sorry I did not order. I got the imp as a gift and what an amazing gift. Quite simply: Beautiful earth bottled. -
Persephone
in Excolo
In the imp: Juicy, sweet, rosey, and fruity.
After dry down: The rose tends to be a stronger scent for me in Persephone. I am not sure I appreciate it much here and I am a fan of some rose scents.
3.5 hours: Roses, roses, roses. The throw on this is all roses and it is just okay. I am a bit twisted on the name of this scent so that may be one reason I can't get into it.
-
In the imp: Full body with sweet and musk.
After dry down: I find the musk is most prodominant and really can't smell the apricot but I do smell something sweet and sharp.
3.5 hours: After sniffing my wrist a zillion times- I smell the apricot but it is faint and in the background. This is still a full scent after several hours and the musk and sharpness has not faded.
Overall this is really pretty but not my favorite.
-
Hubby doesn't wear BPAL so he missed out on this one.
In the imp: Tangy flowers. I didn't think it was masculine at all.
After dry down: I get the musk, a bit of sweetness, and the flowers are fading fast.
5 hours: Musk and tangy- guessing the tangy is the lime although I cannot single it out because it is well blended.
-
In the imp: Smells more like man made purfume than any of Beth's other scents I have tried. It is spicy and to me I think of carnations. I never get the ginger or cypress but maybe I just don't know what to sniff for? I am suprised that the ginger has not put me into allergic fits because I am highly allergic to it.
After dry down: Still commercial perfume for me with spicey fragrance playing with me.
Three hours: This is still with me and while it is a nice scent, it isn't me and I admit I fear the ginger. FEAR!
-
Keep flushing the eye with fresh water/saline and I would let Poison Control know what type of ingredients that might be in it- essential oils.
OUCH!
-
I keep thinking "The Unicorn, the one and only." Yep I am a dork!
In the imp: Juicy and wet florals.
After dry down: DH attacked me. This was soft and lovely and reminded me of white creamy flowers. I love flowers!
After 4 hours: This faded too fast. If there is a hint of it left it is just that- a hint. I would have loved for this to have lasted longer.
Next try I will put more on-
-
Ra- I put this on last night. It was the second time I have tried it. It is worthy of the name Ra.
In the imp: Really heady and maybe amber. I just try a touch of the imp wand because I am afraid it will be too strong.
On dry down: This is greenish and I still smell amber. It feels powerful and awakening. Probably better as a day scent.
Five hours: Morning has a tangerine glow with whispy blue and white clouds. The sun is coming and Ra is faint but still there. It is a warm comforting oil that I will wear again.
-
In the imp: A wet rose garden in the fall. Pretty strong.
After dry down: Roses and reminds me a bit of Hymn. Very beautiful and sultry. I feel like I should be seducing my man.
After 3 hours: Roses, smokey incense, and intense. It is the heavy feeling of a fall thunderstorm that has lasted all day. Comforting, yet powerful.
Lovely.
-
Beautiful!
In the imp: Strong and the generic perfumey smell. I'm scared!
Wet: Go EASY on application of this one. It reminds me of flowers swirling in the water of a fountain.
Dry (6 hours): I smell GOOD! I am no good with plucking out the individual scents but this is so well blended I am not sure they haven't melded together already.
I am not sure about a big bottle but I will be finishing off this imp for sure!
-
In the imp: Sweet! Cherry or maybe strawberry and something musky?
Wet: Still really sweet and candy like. I am not sure what it is that is the musk undertown.
Dry (5 hours): Jailbait didn't last 5 minutes on me. My skin sucked it up in no time. I may have to try it again on another day.

There is a thread on this that has a excel spreadsheet. The thread. and here is the link to the spreadsheet Click me!

In the imp: Juicy Fruit!
After dry down (2 hours): Soap! Ugh! NOOO! This is that soap smell that leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. I am sad!
After 4 hours: Soap smell is gone! Thank the gods! I smell faint berries. This isn't going to be an all day scent.
I will try this one again but I am not sure I can get past the soap phase. I am mildly disappointed because I wanted to like this so much!
ADDED April 19:
First on- this turned soapy on me so it was soapy juicy fruit and at 5am that is not pleasant AT ALL!
I almost went in and washed it off because I cannot do that soapy smell but instead I left it on and now (almost 6.5 hours later) it smells faintly like berries. It is fruity and bright and lasted a while now.
I really wanted to love this one - even for just the name of it. I may try it again when I am feeling a bit adventurous and see if the soapy smell still gets to me.
-
In the imp: I smell that juicy fruit smell and smoke.
Wet: Sharp and loud juicy fruit. Fruity and resin scents. Strawberry is hidden but I do smell it.
Dry: (3 hours) I think I like this. It is changing constantly and it is an incredible and wonderful blend.
Dry: (6 hours) I will be needing a 10mL of this. It is absolutly fabulous. I keep sniffing my wrists and OHMYORGASMATICGOODNESS!
-
In the imp: Something spicy and it makes my mouth water.
Wet: Bitter lemon and herbs. My skin is burning slightly!
Dry: (5 hours) Faintly citrus scent left.
I did not read the description before I sampled this oil so I had no idea it was a dream formula. I will review it again after I wear it for the sweet slumber.

I don't get the plastic at all...
Wet: Reminds me of chocolate liquor with a bit of chocolate added!
On me: I get the ruch of the liquor smell and a little of maybe something sweet and floral? This could be vanilla. Rich, dark, chocolate that dries to a soft and creamy sent that lasts for hours.
I like it!
