There seems to be some strong batch variations with The Book. I first had a decant that I really liked - it was dusty parchment with some spice but not too sweet, then slight leather followed by soft incense at the end. I swapped it away thinking I wouldn't wear it that much but then snapped up a partial bottle when I saw one available. Unfortunately, that batch was super strong with what I'm guessing is the chemically ink note that Gwydion also noticed plus a rather harsh leather that I don't care for at all. I wish I had the softer more cologney version

Oh, so pretty! I get mostly sugared rose - it's like I sprayed the house with Hope, Love or Pink Snowballs. The peony is probably helping with that impression. I'm not noticing any carnation or pink pepper which makes me a little sad, but it is sweet, delicate & lovely!

Tristan! (Dust on your trousers, mud on your boots, and stars in your eyes: redwood, tonka bean, white sandalwood, lemon peel, patchouli, rosewood, coriander, and crushed mint.) Both decants I've tried had a nice brown leather note though it's not listed (I'm assuming it's the boots in the description). Dee is also generally awesome as is Port Royal.

Titania has staying power! I would also try Hunger Moon, Cheshire Moon & Lady Death:Savage, too. Oh, and maybe Tattered Lace. They're all bright with something warmer underneath that seems to last pretty well (on me, anyway). I like to switch between them when I get tired of wearing Dorian.

I tried this without looking at the notes & got berries & soft woods, so the ylang ylang & neroli must be combining to seem berry-like to my nose. It's quite fruity overall with a little sandalwood wafting in & out, and a bit of something faintly aquatic in the background. I get a hint of orange occasionally, too. I'm not a fan of aquatics generally but this is really pretty (& it gets nostalgia points because my Mum is from the Rheinland & Lorelei was a childhood story for me). Yes to a bottle purchase!

I think Lorelei is really pretty (neroli, sandalwood & ylang ylang). The ylang ylang & neroli combo seems berry-like to my nose with a little sandalwood wafting in & out, and a bit of something aquatic in the background.

SInce you like Purple Snowballs, you might want to try a bunch of the berry & purple fruit scents. To name a few, I'm thinking Bewitched, Bordello, Glasgow, Lady MacBeth, Lampades, Morgause... And I second Roses, Pearls, Diamonds & would like to add London & Persephone.

Sugar Skull! And maybe Candy Corn Coated Candy Apple, if you're okay with apple. Anything that has marshmallow as a note would probably be worth trying, too. I'm thinking Love, Boo, Marshmallow Poof & White Chocolate, Marshmallow, and Coconut ...

If sweet & fruity are favorites, I think you'd really like Titania (A nocturnal bounty of fae dew-kissed petals and pale fruits: white grape, white peach, iced pear, musk rose, sweet pea, moonflower and snapdragon.) It's sweet, juicy & pretty.

Tarantula Fascinator & The Orchard are both worth trying if you like Midwinter's Eve.

You could try Miskatonic University - all I got from it was caramel & a hint of coffee.

I made myself a room spray with Dorian & it is delicious! Citrusy, lightly musky vanilla & occasional wafts of lavender from the fougere - give it try!

For foody LE's that may or may not return this year but should be available on the Sales/Swaps Pages: Pumpkin Latte, Trick or Treat, Sugar Skull (not everyone gets brown sugar from it but some do), Boo, Huesos de Santo, Marshmallow Pumpkin, Mother Shub's Spiced Lait de Chevre (even though it was a Yule scent), Pickled Imp & SawScaled Viper from Carnaval Diabolique, any of the Beaver Moons, Sprinklecakes, Spice Bush Swallowtail GC's: Jack, Bengal, Chimera, Miskatonic University (tons of caramel on me), Molly Grue, Bread & Butterfly I like Samhain for my leafy apple fix but many people find it too intense. October is really strong. To Autumn was nice - leafy with hints of nuts & woods, no rose that I noticed.

I wonder if there's some batch variation of this because I didn't get any berries in my decant either. Seems like some people are sensing them and others aren't - and I wouldn't have minded because I like berry notes. Minty & snowy with slight vanilla, kind of like one of the Lick Its but not as sweet. Off to a more appreciative home...

Port Royal is delicious - I'm not sure about elegant, though.

Strawberry Moon didn't really thrill me either but I do really like Golletes & L'Essence de L'Engouement (French vanilla, pink candies, strawberry sugar, and orange blossom). I don't notice the orange blossom - it's all sweet strawberry on me. For bubblegum, I would suggest looking for things that contain Lotus. Many people find it bubblegummy smelling. I really noticed bubblegum in Lotus Moon & Black Lotus (but also in Pandy, Bigger Critters & Ambergris Single Note - though no one else seems to think so in the reviews, so my nose may be weird )

I had high hopes for this since I like some blends that have ambergris in them, but it was not to be. I don't get anything musky & schmexy from it - no, I get aquatic bubblegum. Sigh.

A very pretty deep plum scent - love it!

When it's hot, I like slightly fruity musky things: Dorian Lady Una Autumn Moon of the Mirror Stand Black Lace (appley version) Tattered Lace Red Lace Cheshire Moon '08 Hunger Moon (fizzy sweet grapefruit - last year's surprise fave) And Mme Moriarty if I'm going for the extra sultry after dark vibe. The rest of the year I'm all about the spice

This was way too foody for me! Mostly very, very sweet cookies - it reminds me a lot of Konditerei.

The Carnaval went dark July 1, 2011 (I went to the Announcements thread & did a search for Carnaval & it brought up the relevant posts - I use this all the time!) There was discussion about the GC label change earlier in this thread - I think the consensus was 2008? I'm pretty sure Witch Queen was part of the original Stardust release & same with Circuta for the Vampire's Don't Sleep Alone release.

Fearful Pleasure has a lot of oakmoss & I seem to remember getting some from Perversion, too.

I like to use chunks or slices of the Trading Post's soaps to scent my clothes & blankets. I put them in baggies & the scent travels through the plastic without smearing on the cloth. You could probably use a muslin or gauze drawstring bag instead if you wanted to hang it up. My blankets smell wonderfully of Shub Niggurath so spicy & cosy! I think there were some sort of sachets for sale on the Trading Post's etsy store a while back, too, but I didn't try them. Nor can I find reviews - anyone know where they're located? (eta: I think this has been discussed before in the Beyond Perfume section of BPAL Chatter so you might want to browse in there, too.)

I really like Dorian, Cheshire Moon & Hunger Moon (all varying degrees of sweet citrus including lemongrass & lemon verbena). They're pretty well the only scents I wore this summer, other than an occasional application of Black Lace or Tattered Lace (which also might be worth checking out, along with Red Lace since they all have a sugary vanilla musk base to them). For plum, maybe Prunella, Sugar Plum Fairy or Midwinters Eve? They're all pretty heavy on the fruit, though, if I remember correctly.

A work in progress... Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things? - Sure! What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom. - I've received so many awesome goodies but I'm always thrilled when I get something handmade unexpectedly even little things like origami or a bookmark Would you enjoy receiving cute but useful items like colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets, or bento supplies? (boxes, chopsticks, accessories, etc?) What about things like spice mixes (homemade, or Penzey's for example) - yes & yes! I love cooking & baking. In terms of spice mixes, I'm curious about Old Bay Seasoning & Zatar (I think this might be the Zhug seasoning I've been searching for!!) Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear? I'd love some! something soft preferrred in size L (or xl if they fit small) What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? - pretty much all kinds! the weirder, the better I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places?- We have Whole Foods, but not Trader Joe's or Penzeys - I'd be excited about teas, snacky foods, candy & spice mixes Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? - Perfectly acceptable! I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible! - I'd buy some fun, patterned, thin cotton socks, tea & mini chocolate bars What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like)And, what are your favorite restaurants? - I like Greek, Indian & unusual pizza; favorite restaurants are White Spot, Subeez, the Boathouse & Griffins at Hotel Vancouver for special occasions I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? - since I'm also in Canada there's not much I can't get myself but I've been looking for a herbal tea called "Vie en Rose" from Four O'clock Tea (which is a Canadian company) that I can't find anymore & regional specialties are always fun to get what are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? - Buffy, Star Trek, Star Wars, Cthulhu, LOTR, Sherlock Do you have an eReader and if so which one? nope Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? - small candles preferred, I like spicy, pumpkin or apple & combinations thereof Marzipan - Sure! Muslin reusable squares - you bet - I need to wean myself from my paper towel dependence! Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Sure! If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that? I can get TimTams here but unusual flavours would be welcome like chocolate mint & native spices would also be of great interest If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)? - ooh, fingerless gloves would be awesome! Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out? - My kids would love stickers/tattoos & I will no doubt end up sharing any edibles I get Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice. - Nom & Nom! I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them? - More Nom! Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name? Absolutely! I love watching them. How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? - Totally! Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern? I like the Pre-Raphaelites & classic children's illustrators (Rackham, Kay Nielsen, Dulac etc.), also Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, Susan Seddon Boulet, Ursula Vernon If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images? I like images of the night sky (especially with a crescent moon) or black cats or leaf patterns or silhouettes of skeletal trees Is there a GC scent that's been on your list for ages but keeps falling off the bottom of your order because of the LEs? Fae or Perversion I've been getting into indie nail polish brands recently. What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Or what's your favorite mainstream brand of nail polish? Or are you not big on polish? - I only do my toenails but I like sparkly & vivid colours Stuffed things: yea or nay? Yay! New Question: mix-in-a-jar? How to you feel about cookie or cake or soup mixes that come in jars and you just add, like, an egg or water or what have you? - Sounds fun! Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? - Sure but I bet customs would have a fit! Are there any crafts/skills you've wanted to learn but haven't gotten around to? And if so, would you be interested in supplies and tutorials? I'd love to try making the felted pumpkins that are on my etsy list, haven't tried it before so would need supplies Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas? Absolutely! Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue? Not a knitter I live near this very cool Retro store (retrodrygoods.com) (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them? -Love all the cute tea towels (and the candy)! Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses? I can't remember if I liked these or not... What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style? It's a fifties house but not a very interesting kitchen - I like to accessorize with things that are blue, green, yellow or cherry red Witchee, what are your favorite quotes? I'm in a Terry Pratchett kind of mood: "The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." --Terry Pratchett, Diggers “She walked quickly through the darkness with the frank stride of someone who was at least certain that the forest, on this damp and windy night, contained strange and terrible things and she was it.” ― Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters “Juliet's version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen.” ― Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals “Any fool could be a witch with a runic knife, but it took skill to be one with an apple corer.” ― Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum Put your iPod/MP3 player/what-have-you on random and list the first 10 songs it plays! - Asking for flowers - Kathleen Edwards - Ziggy Says - Ziggy Marley - Lumberjack - The Good Lovelies - Set Fire to the Rain - Adele - Pollywog in a Bog - Barenaked Ladies - Painting by Chagall - The Weepies - Do You Realize - The Flaming Lips - Coffee Stain - Sarah Harmer - Immigrant Punk - Gogol Bordello - Another Sunny Day - Belle & Sebastian What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike? like insects; dislike dog poo Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? There's an herbal shop I really like here in NYC called Flower Power (flowerpower.net) that has quite a wide selection. I think I'm good. If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments? Not in dire need but prosperity & peaceful home stuff is always welcome Hey Witchee! I want to send you a delivery. It could be cupcakes from a local bakery, it could be a singing hugging bear-a-gram, it could be a bouquet of flowers. But it will be something that you need to be there to receive. a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows* B..) Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries? c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously? a) sure yes C) sure What are some things you are OK with receiving gently used or homemade, and some things you absolutely do not want if they are gently used or homemade?okay with most things except used hats, used socks & fur squicks me out And now a new question: I live near a Mast General Store (mastgeneralstore.com). It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you? cool! the various butters (apple, pumpkin, strawberry) look good as does the Castle sauce & the wooden folk toys Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions?

I like White Citrus & Honey Autumn Apple shower gels & most of the Fall candle offerings Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? can't think of anything right now that wouldn't duplicate what I already have - maybe something warm & spicy with a sandalwood base Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey? drawing a blank OK, so those of you who said you wouldn't mind receiving (sneakily packaged!) beer or wine: Tell me of your taste preferences.

Not really a fan WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF!!! movies, comedians, black humor, your partner, a comic strip? what? Cakewrecks, Eddy Izzard, comics: Unshelved, Lio You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc? Either a vintagey dress or jeans/black pants with a flowing bohemian top & the full makeup & jewellery that i don't bother with when I'm simply being Mom-around-town You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like? Hehe, I seem to have my best luck at Value Village (though I sometimes do well at Reitmans, too). I like to wear embroidered Indian-style tops (not the really long tunics, the shorter hip-length ones) or loose-but-fitted patterned short sleeves with dark pants & black flat sandals or chunky black ankle boots You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now.
