Other than the shared love of rose, we have quite different taste (Violet and I aren't friends), so I haven't necessarily smelled/liked all of these, just felt you might like them based on your scent preferences: 1. Ogygia (Wanderlust) - Sea air, kelp, and climbing vines, flame-singed cedarwood and juniper branches, cypress boughs, alder wood, violets, selino, parsley, glistritha, and white sage. 2. Marie (Diabolous) - sinuous violet and elegant tea rose 3. La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente (I love this one so much!) Soft, lush myrtle and dry, sweet melilot with wild rose, pomegranate juice and peach blossom against a background of deep aquatic notes and a twirl of melancholy autumn breezes. 4. Jezebel (This one is gorgeous) - honey, roses, orange blossom and sandalwood 5. Envy - Green herbs slithering through mint, lime and lavender Whatever you decide on, hope it ends up working well for you! I actually already had La Bella Donna on my list, so I'm even more excited to try it now! And Envy and Ogygia especially sound just wonderful. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the recommendations TorchedEarth, I appreciate it! :>

Hello, everyone! I'm not new to BPAL (I've been buying on and off for about 5 years), but this is my first time really posting in the forums, as I've been too shy and preferred to lurk instead. I suppose that says something about my personality right there, doesn't it? I've already posted briefly in the top-5 scents rec thread, so I will stick to personality details only here and avoid naming scents, myself. :> I am a Pisces sun and Pisces moon with a Cancer rising and that pretty much sums up my personality accurately! I'm a very intuitive, creative, and compassionate person, but I can sometimes be a bit vague and dreamy, and I am a practicing witch. I'm small and thin and have very young features, and I tend to dress very cute/feminine, but I have a deep love of horror and gothic genres (that's why I'm here, isn't it?) and a bit of a quietly morbid streak. Despite that, most people would probably say that I'm very cheerful, if a bit shy and overly polite with strangers. I'm an art student and I work in a bookshop, but for half of the year I work in outdoor recreation (whitewater raft guiding, guided backpacking, etc.) which also tends to surprise people. I am stronger than I look! But mostly I just adore nature and water and try to surround myself with it. I hope that was just enough, not too little or too much! I'm looking forward to hearing what you helpful souls have to say :>

Hello! I've been buying and collecting BPAL for about 5 years now, on and off, but this is my first time posting. I haven't bought anything for a while now and the new Crimson Peak scents have rekindled my excitement, so I'm in the process of making and updating my lists! So recommendations from you friendly folks would be appreciated :> I have a kind of "wintery" skin chemistry and so I prefer green, cool or watery scents, with the occasional exception for honey or warmer roses. (As you'll probably be able to tell, I adore violets and roses.) My top 5: Ultraviolet The Rose (my everyday for a while!) Elf (also another everyday) Marie Leanan Sidhe Ranger gets snuck in every now in then when my boyfriend's not wearing it and when I want a more subtle, less "perfume-y" scent or simply miss the woods. Prague, Water of Notre Dame, and Maiden also get some play now and again, and Alice and Deadly Nightshade Honey are my go-to oils for when I want something a little warmer or more sensual. Sometimes when I can tolerate vanilla on myself, I wear Snow White.
