I know what you mean jmscripsi!! I LOVE lemon, especially when it's like a lemon curd. Lemon Scented Sticky Bat is nice, but I noticed that once it dried down it was a little sharp, almost like a yummy lemon flower. I want creamy yummy sugary lemon. I haven't had luck in that department. I've tried lots of different bpal's with a lemon note... always searching for the "right lemon". I was so excited when Lemon Scented Sticky Bat was released because I thought that my lemon dreams have come true (which they sort of did ) Hopefully we'll see a more lemon curdy scent in the future. Edited for spelling

How do you feek about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Sounds Fun to me!!!

I wouldn’t mind, but I wouldn’t be sure as to what I’m getting Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? Oh of course!!! I don’t expect any witch of mine to get stuff exclusively from my WL. There’s no fun in that. I like the element of surprise If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Of course!! I’d love it that much more too! OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? Oooooo socks!! I love the kooky kind… especially Halloween Socks. I’m not a big fan of ankle socks, or knee high socks. 9/14/10 Chocolate or other types of candy? I’m curious about different types of candy. I love English chocolates and German Chocolates. Candy won’t be turned away in my house. For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? I used to prefer loose leaf, but my teaball died If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I’d love a shawl! Also, who says 10 is a lot? A loosely knitted scarf is missing from my collection witch ::bats eyelashes:: Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike?

I want to learn how to bake but I don’t have any supplies. Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? No preference for me.

WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word. – Huh? What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do) VILF Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.) – No kiddos in my house. Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that?

I do have a history of buying stuff like that and never using it though. Pens are always good! I use those at work. Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Oh heck yes Witch! Bring it!! I like anything that spicy and sugary. If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Of course! Would you like something you have to make yourself? Sure, though I don’t know if I’d actually take the time to do it. I do try though. Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? I don’t mine at all. I’d love anything that you’d send mah way. Who is your favorite soap etailer? I don’t think that I’ve ever really tried the right soaps, though Tarty has some excellent soaps. What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? OH YES! That is so my flavor. I love vintage and second hand odds and ends and knick knacks. Especially if they’re totally off the wall or wacky. With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? No preference here, do what you will mah witch! What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I usually wear simple make up like Mac. I tend to stick to shimmery (not pearly though) colors. Golds, pinks, browns, reds are all the colors that I like. Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with ): Ahem.. I’d start with John Cusack (version 1985), Alexander Skarsgård (Humminahumminahummina), Paul Newman (When he was younger of course), Lindsey Buckingham (version 1985), Paul Rudd. Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I never expect more out of my witch than I’d give my witchee. I’m always so very busy so I’m a low contact witch, but if you (my Witch) like to have lots of contact, I don’t mind and I’d try very hard to keep up! Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? I do have a ScentBase, however, it’s totally neglected. I have so many flavors of BPAL and I’m (usually) quite active in swapping so it’s out of date. Plus I forget my account info. :/ Do you like maple sugar candy? OH GOD YES!

Download the scrobbler! Link us to your account! If you reject this assignment, maybe just tell us what your mp3 player says you listen to a lot?

If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) Sadly I iz zee Anti-Craft Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up? I think that I already did this one? Soundtracks you'd like? True Blood soundtrack. I like Bluegrass and honky tonk If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? Dead Can Dance… again.

Ok Witch!! Here ya go!! Some yummy condom..ents Socks? Anyone? If you don’t like socks, what are you doing playing a round of SW!! Isn’t it mandatory? Do you wear makeup? Yep!! I’m dying to try mineral make up next Disney? Love Disney moobies. The kiddies love them too when they come to visit When you go to an etsy wishlist, it will tell you what things are sold. If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical.

I don’t mind if my witch finds something similar. What hobby/craft would you like to learn how to do? I iz zee Anti Craft!

I don’t have a tart burner (yet) but I’d love scented tarts! Would you like a bag of dried Honeycrisp apples? I'd love some honeycrisp apples!! Though, I am able to obtain them easily enough at the grocery store, I don't believe I have ever seen dried honeycrisp apples. Those would be divine! Steampunk? I LOVE Steampunk. I love how all those parts move with steam and there's not a sound. It's so relaxing to watch gears move. Love the science and love the art! If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like? And do you have any sensitivies/allergies to any materials? I would LOVE a knitted thingerbobber witch!! I love dark colors. Dark Red, Dark Brown, Dark Black (hyuck hyuck), dark purple. Anything dark :bigfatgrin: No allergies here If I were to send you a gift certificate for something would you rather get a physical gift certificate in the mail? Or would you prefer an electronic one that you can use right away? Whatever you would like to do my witch. I'm not picky. Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? I haven't purchased many candles in long time. I like scents like vanilla/sandalwood, Patchouli, some foodie types are good too (fall related foodies are always good to make the house smell nommy) Glow in the dark radishes? Sounds adorable to me! What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Goodwill is my favorite place of all time. Cake or Frosting? FROSTING FTW!!!

Baked goods: I love baked goodies. My favorite are Snickerdoodle cookies. Omnomnomnom Goodies for other family:[/b] Naw, that's ok. My cat isn't a fan of anything but sleeping, and boxes Little stuff vs. big stuff: Little stuff is fun, and big things are fun. It's up to you mah Witch! Social networking: I'm on Facebook and Twitter, but I'm hardly active. You can find me by my first and last name. There's a couple other gals with my name too, but I am the only one in Tustin California Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? It doesn't matter to me!! How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? I'm a M/L in tops and bottoms. I have tons of pj's already, but if my Witch has something special in mind, I wouldn't mind a new addition. I generally like t-shirts rather than babydoll shirts. Are you into Austen's books? I haven't read any Jane Austen, but I would love to! Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? I don't read them, but I have my own deck and a book to learn from. I just have to sit down and actually learn how to read them. Groupons: no thanks Mix CD: omg yes!!!!!!!!!!! Harry Potter house: I don't know what this is soft things: I love knitted schtuff! I have a beautiful scarf from my last SW round. Halloween Plans:I really want to go trick or treating this year! I'm short enough to pull it off I think. They'd never guess that I'm 29! TV Guilty Pleasures: I don't watch much TV, but recently the DH and I have gotten into Buffy for the first time LOL. We find it funny that the show is over 10 years old and we love it now. Cosplay/Costumes: I wish I could pull it off. I think Cosplay is sooooooo cute!!!! I love all the frillies. E-books: I prefer real books. I like holding books in my hand and feeling the pages. Scented Tarts: scented tarts are cool. I don't have a tart warmer though. I wouldnt mind a tart warmer Body Mods:nothing much really. A couple tattoos here and there, but I'm hoping to get my nose pierced (pending approval from exec bosses) Lip balms: I tend to stick to Chapstick medicated brand lip balm. Specifically because the mintyness gives my lips a pinkish bee stung look.

Hollywood Babylon is made of musk and sex. If you can get your hands on it, Midnight Kiss is also a killer.

Mmmmmmm!! This is Inez's brighter sister!! It's freaking GORGEOUS and I am in love. Amber musk, vanilla, and a sexy incense note. There's not much else I can say other than HOLY SHIT I SMELL LIKE AMBER VANILLA SEX! Verdict? ::climax:: edit to edit

I actually really really like this one. I'm not usually a floral/fruity type of gal, but the tart tang of the slightly metallic background make this a damn sexy and unique scent. It has a girly steampunk feel all around. The top layer being a fruity feminine, and the slight tang in the background acting as iron and grace. If I close my eyes, I picture a Victorian gel with scented gloves running to catch a train as it starts to chug away from the platform. Slightly floral, slightly fruity, and a soft iron background. As it dries down, I think that I might be picking up a slightly cottony or vanilla linen note...? Ok and it's morphing again... am I sensing grapefruit? The throw is light, but not too light on my arm. It's dry now but it's still pretty strong when sniffed up close. I think that I've found my summer scent! verdict? What a light skirt! ::turns up nose at the trollop::

At First, I'm picking up on yummy cake. It's delicious for sure. I'm usually not so much of a foodie person, but lately I've noticed that foodies are starting to appeal to me. I'm actually quite happy with this latest development. But saddness... the cake fades into the background and I'm left with tea and cucumbers. It's not bad, and it's actually a pretty good trick! I love morphers, but I was hoping that the cake would want to stick around and play with the tea and cucumber. Hopefully as this ages, some of the notes will sweeten up so that way we can at least have some sweet tea with cucumber sandwiches. I would be happy with that Verdict: One lump or two?

Don't forget Poisoned apple in Bewitching Brews! That's a goodie too. You might like Brisingamen in Ars Amatoria. A glittering mantle of rich golden notes: five ambers, soft myrtle and apple blossom, myrtle, and carnation. To my sniffer, apple blossom is very similar to the scent of the fruit as well.

Hmmm.. when I first tried this out, I didn't like it too much in the bottle, so I put it off to the side and thought that I might swap it off to someone. Today, while going throw my box of bottles I sniffed it again, and thought to try a little on. Once applied and it's wet, I smell something sweet and sugary (obviously the honey) but then when the "aftertaste" of the smell hits, it's woodsy for sure. It isn't unpleasant, and honestly it's unlike anything I've sniffed by the lab before. The honey cuts into that balsamy note. It isn't the same balsam as U at all. This is more woodsy and bbq-esque. That might be the bark note too. It kind of reminds me of St. Johns eve in a way? Maybe? Dry now, and the balsam has really calmed down. Left behind, I pick up a slightly honeyed dark and woody scent. The wood isn't dry though, which make this preferable to me than a drier woody scent. Very nice. I'm curious as to how this will age. I hope the honey note pops a little more.

On first application, an amber laden jasmine note swirls around a zesty and spicy note. As others have noted, that initial wet phase is a little bit perfumy, but as it dries down the jasmine starts to relax. It starts to warm up and become slightly spicy. Dry now, it's beautiful it's slighty spicy, with a kick of amber. Once this ages, and the amber thickens up I bet this'll be beautiful! Throw is medium light Verdict? Lets play shoot em up!

Holy cow I'm blown away!! Sarsaparilla usually turns to root beer, but this is more of a cream soda on me. It's creamy, and sweet. I'm really surprised too, because foodies tend to be no no's, but this is a foody that I LOVE! I hope that the creamy vanilla note becomes more prominent as it ages. It doesn't morph like crazy, but as it dries, the vanilla note becomes more prominent (with sweet sarsaparilla mingling in the background) throw is medium Verdict? mmmm root beer float

Ooo! I Like this!! I wasn't sure about the juniper (and gin itself gives me the heebee jeebees) but I thought to give it a chance. I am so glad that I did. This is spicy and sweet with nutmeg on top (not too bright and spicy though) with a bit of juniper in the background. Juniper itself is a beautiful note. It doesn't smell boozy at all. As it dries down, the nutmeg blends further into the juniper note, making it an afterthought. When I huff my arm, it's juuuuuuniper....and then nutmeg. The throw is a light medium I like it a lot! Verdict? Better than a Tom Collins

I actually like this! It sounded like it could be a total hit, or even an epic fail, but this is actually really good. Once applied, I can smell creosote and then some dirt and a hit of something sweet in the background. The sweetness is probably the dried blood note, but to my nose, it's a little reminiscent of Queen of Clubs with that dirt and sweet red note. As it dries down, there's a bit of spice popping through, like cloves? Once it's dry, the sweet note calms down, and the creosote fades to the background. The clove and dirt note are the most prominent once dry. I bet that this is going to calm down and become beautiful as it ages. Throw is decent (a strong medium) Verdict? Post apocalyptic yum!

This is by far one of my favorites of all time. Easily on my personal top ten. I usually amp rose notes, and frankincense can turn sour on me. Also wine notes tend to go a little bit wonky. But put together, each note cancels out each other and turn into the most beautiful scent. Sweet beeswax with a touch of rosey wine, and then a dash of resin to warm it up. Its bliss! I require back ups.

My bottle is starting to become properly aged Ysabel starts off dark and incensy, but as she dries down the carnations pop through like crazy. They're those buttery warm carnations. Either that, or that "smoothness" is the velvet musk. The clove is spicing things up, and the rose isn't amping to high hell (like roses are supposed to do on my skin) The throw is pretty high and strong. I put just a dab on my arm and I've been getting wafts of it for an hour now. Just a little dab!! Ysabel has strength! If you are a fan of Velvet Bandito, pick this one up. It's his twin sister. Verdict? This spanish rose has some 'splainin to do.

This isn't exactly what I thought it would smell like. It's totally different... but good in its own way. Once applied I get vanilla, wood, caramel, and red musk underneath (oh how I love you red musk). There's also that ylang-ylang poking its head around, and a bit of patchouli that hasn't had a chance to age yet. I have a feeling that this will be amazing in a couple of years. On dry down, it's caramel flavored red musk. 'snot so bad really. I kinda like it. I think that I'm going to have to hunt down a bottle Throw: A strong medium Verdict: Not for popcorn.

I loved this the moment I sniffed it in it's cute lil prototype bottle at the lab during will call. I wanted to buy it during release, but I really practiced self control so that I could buy gifts for christmas... I now have my very own decant and am happy as a clam I am! Once applied, it's sweet and fruity, with a swirl of something dark and inedible (though the top note is all edible). The dark note is almost dirty, but not quite. It's just smokey and herbal. It doesn't change much on the dry down, but it's still awesome. Throw is medium Verdict: Please do not feed the Cthulhu.

God Dammit. Why did I completely ignore these past yules? I did it to myself on purpose, and I hate myself for it. This is fantastic!! I'm coming to realize that I love peach, but only when it's a supporting role to darker resin notes or red musk. Once applied, I get a nice whiff of peaches and dark red musk, with the sweetness of tobacco. God this is beautiful! There's not much redwood popping through, nor do I smell clove. Don't matter though. I bet those notes are present, but just really adding to the underlying characteristics of "mmmmmm" in a cumulative type of mixture. Oh wait... is that the clove I'm starting to smell? YUM!! Ooooh! And there's a bit of redwood. Nice!! There's also a bit of a bitter note. Dunno what it is, but it's not horrible, it's just adding something new. Guests are always welcome to attend during morph meetings. Bring it on!!! The throw is light to medium Verdict: Freaking YES! I need a bottle.

Why didn't I think that I would like this? Oh yeah! It's because it mentions ozone. Well jeeze, you could've told me that this type of ozone doesn't cause headaches. It's the perfect ozoney scent. Probably because the sweetness that follows the ozone note. Without that, I wouldn't have liked this at all, but as it is I LOVE IT. Like I said... there's that sweetness that rounds out the ozone. The resins are in perfect harmony as well. There's a bitterness, that's not too bitter at all. It's just a perfect addition to the other notes which sweeten the bitterness up. I wish I could say what notes where what (what is the bitter note?) I know that it's the benzoin sweetening everything up. Is it the labdanum that's bitter? For some reason, I thought that it would be sweet. Oh well. I'm still loving it. Especially on the dry down. When it's drying, the ozone calms down a little bit and leaves a minty freshness behind (rather than rain freshness) I like minty freshness better The throw is medium. Verdict: Poor little shivering boy. He smells hot.

Another favorite. I love pine and pitch and clove. This is reminiscent of pickled imp sans cinnamon. Under the pine and pitch and spicy clove, there's a sweet note. Almost like juice. Aha! Somebody else said orange. It almost does have an orangy tang. As it dries down, the fruity note ripens up a little. The throw is medium to strong. I love it!!! Verdict: Sexy chicks running through a humid forest... and cloves. Win!!!

Now I know what brimstone smells like. It smells like an exotic vacation filled with dark vanilla and bay rum somewhere in the better parts of bpal purgatory. It's spicy, like Morocco (as others have noted) but definitely it's darker more sinister twin. Filled with love I am. I wish that I hadn't been so dumb to not have purchased this when it came out. I understand now why it's sought after. verdict: Morocco's been bad. Very bad.

Red Moon 07!!! Based on your favorite blends, you'd probably like Red Moon. I also love Falling leaf Moon. That one is a total winner this year. You might also enjoy Wolf Moon, Raven Moon, or even Harvest Moon (06 was the best IMO) Another nice moon is Buck Moon (but good luck on finding that bottle). I hope you find your moon!! My moon is Buck Moon (and I'm a red musk lover).

I Loveeeeeeeeeeeee this!!! I'm not usually a foodie girl, but I had a strong feeling that based on reviews, that I would love this. I was right. It's total love. In the bottle, it's chocolate. But never fear foodie haters!! Once applied, everything will change. Once I apply, the chocolate is still there, but the incense and salty sweetness take over almost immediately. It's not milky sweet chocolate either. It's more like a cocoa. The dark incense making it something that you don't want to nom on. It makes you want to inhale your arm though. I bet that as the incense ages, that this will be one of my top 10 favorites. Easily. The throw is decent, and pretty dern good! Verdict? Ebil chocolate!! Ebillllll!!!!

Once applied, I get vanilla, like Antique Lace. It's lovely and feminine. Once it starts to dry down, the leather pops through. This is what I wanted Liz to smell like (blast those florals!!) I can smell a bit of the leather in the background. The moss isn't very prominent. If it's there, it's probably playing a supporting role to the leather. No clay, or any dirt really. The tonka is naturally sweet on it's own, so it's blending in with the vanilla perfectly. Overall, this is a beautiful vanilla leather blend. For those of you who wanted Liz to be less flowers, more vanilla and leather... this is for you!! Throw is moderate. I love it! Verdict? Liz and Antique lace's younger sister
