PersimmonSeeds

Those are awesome suggestions!! Thanks Celestia and vetch, I will definitely hunt down some imps and decants of those! You suggested some awesome stuff Celestia, so don't worry! I absolutely must have VILF. I'm not sure if it's the red musk but I have been drawn to it because I truly think that's what is smelling so good on me. It's the only thing in the perfume I can't place, so it has to be the musk! I have yet to try The Bow & Crown of Conquest, but now I HAVE to. JoyLeaf - Have you given Crowley a try yet? Infernal musk, red patchouli, lilac cologne, mahogany, lemon rind, oakmoss, leather, and vanilla husk. The musk, leather, and patchouli really are beautiful in it!

Gracklebait: The allspice might be the cause of that? I have a few decants of different years and they all cause the same red welts on me. They are angrier when I apply it after sweating or showering. I usually don't complain because I knew before I even tried it that it would do that due to the spices in it and me having rather sensitive skin. I believe some ground allspice has cinnamon in it, which cinnamon does do this to me too, but I don't know if the lab uses just the dried allspice or emulates a ground allspice usually used in Samhain baked goods or incenses?

So my top 5 keeps getting switched around but the ones I am wearing constantly as of late are: *These three dry down on me very similarly. Something in these seems to be drawing me in and I am wondering if it's red musk? I know its not listed in morocco or bright red dildo but Morocco has a musk note in it and several reviews for bright red dildo seem to say they smell red musk? I just cannot place why these 3 smell SO GOOD AND SO SIMILAR on me in the end!* Bright Red Dildo The Instructional Manual Morocco -- The other two I can't stop wearing: Crowley Mutant Hot Rodders from Hell High

I realize I am posting again but my sister borrowed one of my atmosphere sprays for her room and had a reaction to it. It was mild but she is complaining about her nose, constantly sneezing and anywhere the fabric that has the spray lingering on it is making her break out in hives and itch like crazy. It was Lucy in Darkness that did this to her. My family has sensitive skin but she has never really reacted like this to something other than Gain Detergent(which my entire family cannot use). The only thing that I can think of that she probably hasn't come in contact with before would be the garlic flowers?

Recently I received a purchase from Ralenth with goodies in it! She included a 'Mystery' imp that I think said it was bpal? Maybe? That or just a mystery all in all lol To me BPAL has a pretty distinct smell and it seems like it probably was a bpal oil(I'll have to check the label again). I would love to know what this might be! It smells EXACTLY like shoving your nose into a trick or treat bag filled with a mish mosh of all kinds of candies and goodies. First sniff I almost thought it was Giljagaur! Then upon further huffing it reminded me a bit of my yummy and cozy The Inn goblin squirt! I cannot even begin to pick out notes in it! I'm not that good, I just know it smells really delicious! Any ideas? I've never had the pleasure of smelling the SN: Last Year's Stale Candy Corn but this is how I would imagine it!

I had to fly in when Bluebell was mentioned! While Bluebell didn't WOW me, I LOVE Hyacinth! I have to highly recommend Egle - Its a really fresh floral with Hyacinth! It's honestly everything I expected Bluebell to be! Sea of Glass is a bit more citrusy and slightly aquatic but there is extremely reminiscent of fresh Hyacinth! Another could be either of the Whirling Wind Moons. 2009 especially. It doesn't come off as immediately 'blue' as Bluebell but is very similar! I have Whirling Wind Moon 2013 and love it, the addition of ginger gives it a crispness similar to that in Bluebell. It just adds a slight sourness to when wet(which could just be my skin.) I cant help you on Vaara. I've only had the pleasure of smelling it on others.

SimplySyra - I love you for that Undertale list!! They're all so perfect! What about Papyrus? His many.... condiments (I think about the marinara sauce a lot....) and weeaboo things that he dabs behind his nonexistent ears would prove to be an interesting scent lol Maybe one of the Shojo Beat perfumes lol Has anyone done a Pacific Rim themed suggestion list already?

Lizzie- Maybe it's just my skin (I pull patchouli and rose) but Fredric could be pretty close? I love Fredric(I don't go a few days without wearing it) and when I received a decant of The painted Rose atmo I was more than happy with it because of the similarity! There are obvious differences, Fredric is: a reluctant seaman’s chypre sloshed with a mix of bay rum, patchouli, amber musk, dark woods, tea rose, and red currant. On me I do get the Bay Rum but it's pretty tame, the red currant and tea rose really blend well and the patchouli leaves a beautiful dry down! But to me at least, it smells pretty similar! If you can hunt down a partial or decant it might be worth a try. It's more feminine than you might think. Don't let the bay rum scare you off! This is just my experience! I hope you find something that fills your need!

Lucy's Kiss has an extreme throw on me. Spicy and green, fresh rose! I always get compliments when I wear it. Also The Bride seems to remind people of cake and chocolate, it has a pretty amazing throw.

I am still pretty shocked I got my hands on this. I never thought I would own a Monster Bait at all! After testing this a few times I have to say it is easily in my top 10! It just smells SO GOOD ON ME. Like please, everyone sniff me! I have never gotten so many compliments on a bpal blend before (it got more than even The Bride!) That said, I think this did so well on my skin because it contains patchouli. I can't attest whether patchouli haters will outright despise this or not because my skin usually pulls patch and does great things to it. I gloat I know, but I just can't help it. My skin chemistry turns patchouli into something delicious! I've never had anyone comment that it was 'smelly' or unpleasant. The butterscotch, apricot, caramel, and brown sugar all compliment each other divinely! It's mouth watering... I'm not great at pinpointing notes, but everything is this is so self exclamatory and well blended! This isn't an extremely desserty blend, I don't feel like I am overloaded with sugar at any point. The hazelnut does remind me of the creamer I use in my coffee, though. Not that that's a bad thing!! The apricot seems to give all the sugary things an earthiness, but doesn't make things extremely fruity. You go apricot! The wood(I want to say cedar but I'm not getting 'gerbil/hamster cage like others have. Its a slightly warm cedar if anything) stays mostly in the background, it and the patchouli really makes it kind of dry and spicy, especially at the dry down! I see people thinking this is a sweet, masculine blend(maybe that's just my skin though). To me everything is unisex, so I don't like slapping labels on anything. In the dry down its a dry patchouli with a slight sweetness hanging on. I am so in love...

I have a wedding to go to on June 11th and the bride is a very dear child hood friend. She is just as weird as me! I have been eyeing my precious bottle of The Bride and thinking about giving it to her along side of her painfully normal 'adult' gift from her registry. I love The Bride but I am thinking of giving it to her. I'm a little wary of the idea because I'm not even sure she'll like it. And then, I would want to give her groom a bottle of something to go along with it. I am pretty late in looking into this idea(I've been in and out of the hospital.) so I may not do it at all I actually thought of hunting a bottle of Elf and Rogue down here on the forums to give to her and her groom respectfully. I obviously don't have time to order them from the lab. Suggestions? Thoughts? (sorry if this is a double post mods! I couldn't find anything that worked for me but I could have missed it!)

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I have decants/imps of some I think might be very suitable for their tastes(Sophie- I have imps of both of those! What a cute idea! ) I wish I still had my imp of rogue, but I think I will be able to replace it. So I think I might go with the suggestion of imp packs, maybe some that will invoke good memories! Obviously I'm trying to combine all of these good suggestions as best I can lol I do feel like The Bride would be hard to let go, I've never smelled anything like it. I could decant a bit for her in the least. I have no idea if she'll like it, so to give her my entire bottle could indeed end up being a mistake :/

I have that same issue with cinnamon, Arcy! I usually but a perfume base (like unscented lotion or for strange women base) to keep it from touching my skin and it has helped with scents like Harlot and wrath! I tested two more oils with frankincense notes (arcana and dark rosaleen) and I really didn't see a reaction. Not even any tingling so I'm pretty weirded out. I may shoot the lab a message and see if there is anything in Hope and fear to be safe. I find it hard to even touch the bottle because of how badly it stung. Another I am suddenly having a reaction to: recently i spritzed my favorite cardigan with The Lady in Black Atmosphere spray. I smelled amazing but I guess i sprayed too much because around my neck and where my sleeves touched my face i have broken out in hives....?

I was recently looking at imps I had just received with some bptp/bpal orders in the past few months to sell them here. I picked up an imp of Euphrosyne I had never even opened before to sniff it and make sure it wasn't something I wanted to keep and it's like as I was wiggling the cap the top part peeled off leaving the actual little wand inside and a small ring left on the top of the vial? (sort of similar to what happened to AernJardos I guess). I don't have anything to transfer it to so I don't know what to do with it. I'd hate to just trash it.

I have a bottle of do the dancing maidens sleep and it is gorgeous! It's very much a fresh hyacinth and honeysuckle scent on me. It's probably one of my absolutely favorite floral bpal scents! I don't know what asphodel smells like, but I presume that fresh, white floral is it? Either way, the hyacinth in this is absolutely delicious! I never thought of those two, auspicious q, I'll have to track down some decants/imps!

Ashmedai, I think I love you! You're the real MVP! Thank you so much (to everyone), I absolutely need all of them! My poor wallet....

Pole beans??! As in Green beans?? Oh no I need that one so badly! No one is going to believe me when I tell them I work a desk job, they'll all think I work on a vegetable farm!

I will definitely be hunting for ALL of these! They all sound so delicious! Especially Hagsgate and Karme, wow!!! Oh gods I needs them both so badly now. I think I might have a decant of Theme in Yellow I got as a frimp from someone on livejournal! I'll have to give it a try, I had no idea what it was! Squirting cucumber is gorgeous, it's on my list to get a full bottle of in the near future! Thanks everyone, I am about blow up the forums hunting decants of these down! Keep em coming!

Ooh! I'll have to grab an imp with my next order! I'm worried about the leather but I bet with the vetiver it will stay mainly green, I hope! Thanks!

From the 2016 Lupers, The Bride is an absolutely gorgeous and creamy magnolia that just smells all the better with the vanilla chiffon!

I didn't see any in my skimming that satisfied me so I'm making this topic. Hope that's ok. As the title suggests, I want to smell like vegetables. Namely Green Bell Peppers. I don't think there is anything bpal that has that as a note, unfortunately. Maybe it's a little weird but I really love the smell of cutting into fresh-from-the-garden vegetables and want to wear the scent without having to actually cut up all of my precious veggies. I currently smell like green bell peppers after cutting a ton up to bring with me as a snack to work. I would LOVE to smell like this forever. I also love the smell of tomatoes, SQUASHES ( <3 ), cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, spinach( greens as well as herbs in general), peppers of all kinds, etc. I want something straight fresh vegetables, as well as something nitty gritty dirty, earthy vegetables! Any suggestions? (I'll take non bp suggestions as well, just pm me)

Hi there and welcome! I am fairly new here myself I saw 'That smell that candles have when they burn' and immediately related. I love that smell! Because others have suggested The Lights of Men's eyes already(Really amazing scent!) I'm going to hop in and suggest my favorite Neil Gaiman inspired scent, The Ifrit ! It's all smoky candle goodness to my nose! Another I just smelled recently was from the Trading Post, Crimson Peak Room Spray Young Ediths room. the beeswax is very strong in it (to me) and that could be something extra to look into Also regarding tea scents: White Rabbit (Strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen.) seems like it would appeal to your tastes! It filled my void for a sweetened tea scent!

I got this as a frimp from a seller on the bpalmarketplace livejournal! Liked the name of this one so I tried it out immediately. For starters, it has been a pretty uneventful day at work, so very little has been done to test the durability of this. It is quite nice! Very fresh and clean sort of berry scent. If I'm being completely honest, this smells exactly like my Sun Plus Oxi laundry detergent. Not a bad thing at all if you like fresh and very mildly powdery/herbal, fruity clean scents! I find this extremely pleasant and satisfying to the senses. It feels like something I wouldn't mind wearing to bed or even as an everyday perfume. I have a feeling this would be amazing layered with another oil with a lot of green in it or a dirt note (maybe yorick or zombie) Something that caught me off guard was the silage. I smelled it as soon as I opened the imp and actually got a few comments on it from coworkers. The dry down is just like really nice, pricy dryer sheets. Some whiffs actually have a quality that reminds me of a bowl of really dark berries. Freshly picked and washed. I am really shocked this didn't turn into a horrible, soapy, in-your-face green scent with just a little bit of berry in the background (I'm looking at you, Rosalind...). This is almost comforting, and so very pleasant. The herbal quality doesn't stick around for the dry down on me, but it gives the whole thing an earthy and delicious quality. It prevents it from going too sweet or fruity. The detergent comparison may be off putting to some but I mean it in the best way. This is a very true, juicy (but not overly sweet or loud) berry blend! It just comes off so clean on me, my detergent(which also has a sort of a berry/linen smell to it) was the only thing I could think to compare it to lol At no point is this synthetic or soapy! Silage is quite amazing! Longevity is nearly a solid 4 hours on me but I swear it smelled even better after a second application! I absolutely have to have a bottle(or 3) of this.

Thank you, Arcy! I've actually had to change detergents several times in the past few years because of unannounced ingredient changes. Mainly the addition of dyes and new perfumes. So I'm right there with you! I think the strangest thing is JC Penny jeans! Sometimes a few years ago they changed something with their blue jeans. They smell horrible and I was told it's from the dye they use? Well apparently the dye they use isn't just smelly, it irritates me so badly I cant wear several of their jeans anymore! I've never had a huge issue with perfumes before, some body sprays with glitter/dye but never oils(aside from a light tingling from cinnamon). I'll try to test a few frankincense oils. Most of what I own with it as a note are of the EDP/Cologne variety. It's actually one of my favorites! I own a Perfume oil that a friend made me with patchouli and frankincense. It could be that it is a mild frankincense in that particular oil and maybe the aged one in Hope and Fear has made it extremely potent? I will do some testing and update this post once I know! I washed where I dabbed it with soapy water and applied some Benadryl cream(something I always carry with me considering I randomly break into Hives and sometimes my hands swell if I touch stair rails lol) and it calmed down, I'm more worried about the faint bruising. I thought it was a stain from the dark oil, but they're very sensitive and must be bruises.

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I found this thread. I realize it's a little old but Its worth a shot? Recently I have been on the hunt for The Garden of Proserpine scents. I have managed to get my hands on a few so far but have run into some issues with two bottles. I'm not sure if its the ingredients, age(really not that old), or contamination? One smells god awful and actually makes my skin tingle. From what I saw on the reviews it was never the best smelling thing out there but oh well. It doesn't irritate me too much.(Crowned with calm leaves she stands) The one that actually has me ripping my skin off is the most seemingly simple one of the bunch. Hope and Fear set free - Bourbon vanilla and 10-year aged frankincense. I was shocked that it was so faint on me. I couldn't discern much when I applied it. Just faint, bitter frankincense no bourbon vanilla or anything. Then it went BO and disappeared on me. I tested it a few times and am just now seeing the affects of it. In the patches I tested I have broken out in hives and scratched myself to shreds. There are red streaks where the wand cap touched and actually one patch that appears to be bruising? I've never had a reaction to any perfume i've ever tried. The only thing is the lab's cinnamon. It makes me itchy and lightly burns for a little bit but that's it. I do have slightly sensitive skin. I break out into hives easily when it comes to cheap lotions and certain detergents (whisk is the main one but also anything Gain) and certain dryer sheets. I don't really know what's going on with it but its actually kind of painful?
