The ylang ylang on this just gets amped to the high heavens on my skin--all shrieking white floral.
-
So fruity! It smells like a Hawaiian candle from Bath and Body Works that I have.

This starts off straight cherry syrup and dries down to a soothing lavendar and rosewood scent--very pretty, but unfortunately I'm very sensitive to lavendar.
-
Wow, this is really interesting and surprisingly likeable (for me)! I get an incredibly lush floral mingled with a hint of vetiver--almost fig like, very jammy and sweet, but also slightly leathery.
-
Icy and cold--almost an effervescent, bubbly scent when combined with the dark green of the pine and fir. Cold and pretty.
-
-
Straight dragon's blood resin--sweet, red musk and a hint of spice. I love this as a component note, but it just doesn't do anything for me on its own.
-
Sparkling, bubbly champagne, as this dries the fruit becomes more prominent, but it's light and fresh--real strawberries with all there water, not artificial strawberry candy.
-
The best of the RG honeys on me! Daphne is a sweet, rich dark floral that tempers well against the honey note. Unfortunately, as with the others in the series, the honey goes sour and curdles on me.
-
Very sweet, powdery and red over a shrieking white floral note.
-
Wow--a really lovely, dark musky aquatic with a syrupy tang. The aquatic note here is salty but not overly ozone-y, just deep and dark and wet--definitely oceanic. The other notes are dark, slightly musky and a syrupy sweet herbal note. An interesting, complex blend.

Opium teaches only one thing, which is that aside from physical suffering, there is nothing real. A bitter, soft, fragile flower.Very powdery, white floral.
-
Wet snow and fresh pine. Very tingly minty note. Interesting and I don't dislike it, but not a "perfume" scent to me.

One of the Biblical Cities on the Plain, destroyed by God with fire and brimstone because of its people’s pride, prosperous ease, deceit, hedonism and indolence, and their callous, uncharitable hearts. A gritty, sordid and languid scent: ripe fig, date and currant with black herbs.I get ripe fig and a bitter, rotting note.
-
This is a fresh, sweet aquatic. The coral gives it an almost juicy apple scent, with a salty background. A lighter aquatic, probably one of my favorite aquatics from BPAL.
-
Not sure how old my imp of this is, but I get a very sweet, creamy musk scent--just the slightest hint of neroli and patchouli to give it a bit of spice. Very similar to Perversion.
-
Exactly like the description. Ashy, smoky.
-
I get mostly pine and green and white florals. A pretty, bright spring scent.
-
-
At last, a BPAL violet that I can tolerate! This is faintly violet over a sweet, vanilla background. Very pretty floral.
-
Wood. Not the good kind--like opening a new box from IKEA, raw and unfinished.
-
Something in this is smoky and patchouli-like on me--after dry down, this lightens up and becomes a sweet, fruity scent with a slightly woody background. Not for me.

Pretty, but a generic floral on me.
