On me, this is spicy, warm dark red berries. Possibly the holidays. Another I love to sniff in the vial, but rarely wear.
-
Tangy, succulent strawberries tempered by sweetness (vanilla?)
-
Some green, some creamy, very interesting but I also got something plasticy in there, so I had to swap it.
-
Grape jolly ranchers and a bit of wine.
-
A huge bouquet of squished rose petals: Bulgarian rose, Somalian rose, Turkish rose, Damascus rose, red and white rose, tea rose, wine rose, shrub roses, rose, rose, rose… …and just an itty bitty bit of green grass. Sugary, sweet roses. Very pink and innocent.

Medicinal berries. Always with the Robotussin!

Cherry coke!

Now, I love Dragon's Blood. I knew this. The mystery spice in this scent, though? Amazing! It is so reminscent of an old general store or candy counter. Ya know those stick hard candies? Yea. It reminds me of those. Now, to find out what that mystery spice is, so that I can seek it in other forms!

This is my absolute favorite wolf scent. The juniper? and eucalyptus? are very powerful at first, but the drydown really gets sweeter and mellows.
-
A sinister, darkly seductive scent inspired by poetry of Charles Baudelaire. Violet entwined with vanilla and gardenia. Before I even knew the notes, I adored this scent. It was so soft, yet *present*. Powdery, yes. This is my kind of violet.
-
I really enjoyed the cherry in this scent. Unfortunately the anise completely turned me off from it.
-
Gah! I adore this! It's woody and warm, and vanilly and just fabulous. And my boyfriend likes how it smells on me, which doesn't hurt:)
-
Something about this, possibly the way the ginger interacts with the other notes, reminds me of going to Pier 1 Imports as a child, when they sold all these funky soaps in different shapes.
-
This is another violet scent that I wanted to love, but it was just too green. I like the pale purple kind:)
-
Snake Oil is just a classic in my mind. It's a sweet, sensual brown fragrance to me.
-
This one was delicious. All grapey wine on me. A deep, purple scent.
-
This was a green and white floral. Very powerful, and, although I really wanted to love it (largely because i had recently read Song of the Magdalene) I just couldn't bear it in the end.
-
The beer note came out very strongly on me. Interesting in concept, but didn't work for me to wear.
-
Totally bubblegum and fruit on me. Loved it, but it felt too young on me.
-
There was a feeling of something sacred with this one. The feeling is beautiful. The scent doesn't do much for me or on me, and so, of it goes to another owner.
-
This is the first aquatic I ever had the chance to try from BPAL. The smell, to me, was overpowering. Just very dark and filled with dread. But maybe that was the name rubbing off on me.
-
To me this scent is very yellow, and of course, haunting. Kind of somber and not really my vibe. I did get some for my mom, though, because she likes Shalimar, and they share some notes.
-
I found this rose scent to be faint to start, and to fade quickly on me. There are others that work far more nicely on me, so I will stick with them.
-
This one is a rich, almondy scent. Good for using in the burner.
-
This one is total nostalgia for me. The cedar really brings me back to elementary school. Pencils, I guess? I love it. I often open the vial just to sniff it. I've had it for a while and I can't recall the last time I've actually worn it. It is great, though.
