    Scarecrow

    This is a review for my boyfriend: First Sniff: Bitter. I don't know if I'm going to like this one. On HIS skin: The bitterness goes away immediately. It smells very dry and grassy. It reminds me of something... After 1 hour: Ooh this is so masculine. it reminds me of Cowboys roaming the plains. Final verdict: Scarecrow smells absolutely amazing on my boyfriend. Definitely a keeper

    Blood Lotus

    First Sniff: Syrupy and VERY sweet. On my skin: Still very sweet, but with a touch of something bitter. Wine maybe? After 1 hour: This stays very sweet, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Final verdict: This scent really never "blossomed" on me. it basically stayed the same from bottle to skin. I don't dislike and and I actually occasionally wear it. It's just a little too sweet for me to wear often.

    Incantation

    First Sniff: Dark and mysterious... On my skin: Citrusy! After 1 hour: This smells very citrusy and smooth. I can hardly detect any of the darker notes. It smells very clean on me. Final verdict: I expected this scent to be very dark and brooding. But on me, it turned out to be very light and citrusy, almost refreshing. The darker notes do come out occasionally, which makes this a very complex intriguing scent. I don't find myself reaching for Incantation often, but when I do I forget why I don't wear it all of the time.

    Pele

    In the vial: Very light and crisp. I can't pick out the ginger, just pure flowers. On my skin: Still very faint tropical flowers. After about 5 minutes I am picking up some of the ginger. After 1 hour: When I first tried Pele it was non-existent after the first hour. That is no longer the case, it amazingly stays with me for almost half of the day. The ginger is definitley there...mixing in perfect harmony with the floral. Final verdict: I really didn't think I would like Pele, and I didn't at first. But this turned out to be such a beautiful, tropical scent. I love wearing it during the winter months, it reminds me of Hawaii
  5. I love Tamora...it is very soft and innocent to me...

    Recs for those who can't do sweet perfumes?

    I looove Villain on my BF, it smells very sexy and masculine on him I also love Scarecrow on him, this to me smells more traditional "cologne-y" than Villain, but smells great all the same

    Voodoo

    In the vial: Pure sweet red cherries... On my skin: Cherries, but the almonds are coming through now 1 hour later: Doctor Pepper! Pure Doctor Pepper Final verdict: I like this scent. I don't find myself reaching for it very often, but the smell is very comforting and sweet to me.

    Sudha Segara

    In the vial: Mostly citrusy... On my skin: Citrus with a hint of something sweet... 1 hour later: Honey, Oats and a touch of citrus, ginger maybe? Final verdict: I like this scent, but it isn't one of my favorites. It is a very soft and comforting scent.

    Grog

    In the vial: Sweet! Sweet butterscotch candies!! On my skin: Still butterscotch candies 10 minutes later: Butterscotch with a touch of booziness 1 hour later: Semi-Sweet Butterscotch candies and a touch of hot buttered rum. Mmmm... Final verdict: I LOVE Grog...It reminds me of a Pirate Christmas Party! Happy Holidays, Matey! Argh!

    Roadhouse

    In the vial: Pure dandelion...I never really thought about dandelions as smelling good, but this made me change my mind. 10 minutes later on my skin: The dandelion is still predominant, but now I also smell a touch of tobacco and booziness. This smells awesome! It really makes me think of some old fashioned roadhouse. 1 hour later: Still going strong! It smells almost exactly the same as it did an hour ago! Final Verdict: This is my ultimate summer scent! It is great for a little pick-me-up in the colder months as well....

    Dana O'Shee

    In the vial: Pure sweet almond extract with a hint of sugar...I'm not a big fan of almonds, but I like something about this so far. 10 minutes later: this scent reminds me of Alberto VO5 soothing and calming line, ALOT like it. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. 1 hour later it has calmed down quite a bit into Irish oatmeal, mixed with honey and almonds. Final Verdict: This is a really beautiful scent, just not for me. It is a little to almondy and light for my taste.

    The Hesperides

    In the vial I mostly smell apples, tart unripe apples. On my skin I still smell tart unripe apples, but with a hint of something green...some kind of plants. I don't know if I'm going to like this... 10 minutes later Wow! This completely changed. It smells like shiny and crisp red ripe apples. With a hint of something sweet (caramel?). It actually reminds me of an apple crisp... 1 hour later It is still there, but very faint. It still smells like caramel apple crisp. This scent actually makes my mouth water

    Jack

    I don't really remember Jack I, so this is a review for Jack II. In the vial it smells like pure pumpkin and cloves (maybe?) to me...yummy. On my skin after a few minutes it turns into Pumpkin Pie, creamy Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake. This is EVERYTHING I had hoped for and than some. I didn't pick up any of the fruitiness that some other reviewers mentioned....Just pure Pumpkin Cheesecake goodness After an hour Jack II is still kickin' and smellin fab! I looove Jack I and I definitely see a big bottle purchase in my future

    Morocco

    When I first put this on I can immediatley pick out sandalwood and maybe a touch of incense, but barely. Than it starts to change into this lovely carnation/sandalwood/spicy harmony...The incense is pretty much completely gone. It is very sexy and mysterious. It definitley reminds me of being in Morocco, walking around some sort of Bazaar. Morocco is my absolute favorite scent.

    Hollywood Babylon

    At first this was PURE strawberry to me. Not strawberry candy, but more like fresh strawberries...very yummy! And than after a few minutes it morphed into a cherry candy/smoky/incensy smell. I definitley had high hopes for this one, but I wasn't crazy about the way it smelled after drydown. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad smell, and I'll probably still wear it on occasion.

    layering with Angel?

    I received Xiuhtecuhtli in a swap (It's my new signature scent) I wore Angel for years and I think Xiuhtecuhtli smells ALOT like Angel. Not in the vial though (at least for me) Once I have it on for about 2 minutes it REALLY starts to smell like Angel, but much lighter if that makes any sense. It's kind of like Diet Angel

    Xiuhtecuhtli

    This is my first review, so bear with me This was sent to me as a freebie from the lovely Dolly Dimple...Thanks This scent is fantabulous! It is very sweet in the imp...I thought maybe it was going to be a little too sweet. I out some on and it smelled AWESOME! After it dries down a bit, it turns to a sweet, spicy orange, incensy smell. It reminds me of being in a tropical jungle, sitting next to an orange tree surrounded by lush plants and waterfalls. Which is awesome because right now it's freezing here and raining. It smells so sophisticated and exotic. Now I know why it got all of these great reviews. The lasting power is awesome for a floral scent (usually florals don't last at all on me) I put it on at 4:00 this morning and co-workers are still complementing it at almost 10:00. This is definitely a keeper! This may be my new signature scent!

    Traveling with BPAL

    I've never ahd a problem in Atlanta or Newark. I had about 8-10 in a plastic baggies in my purse. I din;t even think that I might have a problem, I guess I should have That would have sucked if they got confiscated. I would just keep them in your makeup bag or something..Good luck!

    Does BPAL stain?

    WD40! ~This also works very well on oil stains. Just spray it on, let it sit and then put it in the wash. *gone*
