I was so excited to try Elf after I read the other reviews, and after smelling it on my mom and my little sister. It smelled great on them, like flowers and berries and something else I can't quite put my finger on. Unfortunately, when I wear it it turns into something VERY sour, with just a hint of berries underneath. Mostly just the sour stuff, though. There must be a note in there that doesn't work with my skin... I just don't know which note that is.

Bard is by far the best BPAL scent I've tried so far. When I'm warm, it smells like delicious honey with a bit of spices mixed in. When I'm cold, the spices are more prominent than the honey. I normally don't like wearing spicy scents -they make me feel like a walking can of air freshener- but the honey mellows this out and it smells AMAZING. Also, Bard is great layered with Ladon. It smells like honey and apples.

Grapefruit, red currant, dark musk, Roman chamomile, delphinium, and lavender. This smells nice and sweet in the bottle, but on me it just smelled like musk and chamomile. It was nice, but a little heavy for me. But if you like musk, or if your skin doesn't amp it up a ton and you like the other notes, you'll probably really like Cheshire Cat.

I love The Dormouse! On me it smells like flowers and sugar, with just a tiny bit of tea that I only notice when I'm not looking for it. The Dormouse is very light. I put quite a bit on, but I can only smell it when I stick my wrist right under my nose. I doubt anybody else can smell it on me, but that's fine. I'm just glad I get to smell it. EDIT: After about eight hours of wearing this, it's smelling less like flowers and a lot more like tea with milk and sugar. It still smells just as amazing, though. I definitely want to order a big bottle some time.

In the imp, and wet on my skin, this smelled like cherry cola with a tiny hint of lavender. It was odd, but not bad. I was interested to see if it would morph when it dried. Well, it morphed. But not in a good way. Within five minutes of putting it on, all I could smell was lavender dryer sheets. I left it on for another couple hours, hoping it would change again. But it didn't. Eventually the lavender started giving me a headache, so I washed it off. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to try to swap this one.

I got The Reaper and the Flowers as a free imp with my last order. (Thanks for that!) I put on a dab on my wrist and one on my neck this morning, and it was so strong my mom could smell it from across the kitchen when she came down for breakfast. After ten minutes or so the smell had weakened a bit and I only caught a waft of it every once in a while when I was typing up some homework. It smelled nice, like walking in a garden in the morning when there's still dew on the ground. My only complaint would be that the scent isn't very long-lasting. After about five hours, I couldn't smell anything. Not even when I stick my wrist right under my nose and sniff as hard as I can. However, I can't say for sure that's all the perfume's fault. I was cooking all morning, so maybe the smell of garlic and jalepenos and whatnot simply drowned out the light, flowery scent of the perfume. I'll have to wear it again on a day when I'm not planning on being in the kitchen and report back.

This perfume is a pleasant, mild floral smell on me. I like it, but it's not something I'd wear by itself very often, and I decided I'd try to swap the Imp. Especially after a couple hours when it started smelling soapy. However, I accidentally splashed a bit of Bard onto my shirt while I was still wearing Ladon. (Don't judge me. Those imps can be difficult to open.) The honey layered on top of the apple smells AMAZING. I'm keeping the Imp, and I'm eventually going to purchase larger bottles of both Ladon and Bard so I can wear them together.
