My decant of this is sickeningly-sweet, overpowering berry. I don't get any of the other notes - not a whiff of orange blossom or mint or anything interesting. Just a strong, unpleasant, overly fruity scent that reminds me of Bath and Body Works stuff. If it weren't for the awesome bottle art, I'd recommend this scent for teenage girls. Not working on me, though, I'm afraid. Good thing there's so many other Shungas to love!

Soapy, lightly sweetened fresh floral. Reminds me of the soapiness of Dirty and Wensleydale. I can't pick up on the honey note, it's very understated and more of a supporting role than a detectable presence. Pleasant, but not amazing on me. : -)

Hilarious -- apparently, Makhanitis is a chameleon that smells like a different BPAL to most that have reviewed her so far. For me, I am reminded of Madame Moriarty, Bloody Mary, and Midnight Kiss. The red, juicy, fruity yum-yum-yum in the higher register of this blend just evoke those scents for me. The sandalwood, I find to be a bit sharp and dry. It comes out and pretty much just competes with the moist, luscious fruits on me, and I don't especially enjoy the competition (although I'm sure it might be nicer on others who don't amp woods like me). Just doesn't blend. After a few hours, the dryness of the sandalwood fades, and I am reminded of Smut - there's a haze of sweet, dark musk on my skin, and it's smooth and sexy.

This is magical!!!!! It's the heady, deep. juicy-yet-sophisticated wine-grape note from Dungeon atmosphere spray (RIP), with pear-sweetened rose and soft vanilla. I absolutely adore this scent, and will be buying a full-size bottle without a doubt. The rose is particularly magnificent, it is perfectly sweetened by the fruit notes but the scent overall completely avoids becoming sweet or cloying. It's just perfect. In fact, I'll most likely buy 2 bottles. Just Gorgeous! I am also quite shocked that this scent hasn't gotten more love. Perhaps not enough of you have tried it yet!!! When I order my bottles I'll pimp out my decant appropriately ; -) My favorite from the new update, by far!

The sweet musk in this scent reminds me of Anactoria, and also the Cathouse room spray. It's powdery, soft, deep, and sweet. After a few hours, I swear I smell rose on my collar where I accidentally slathered some of the oil. It's nice, though - again, soft, sweet, and smooth. Very nice, although it's similar enough to Anactoria on me to hold me back from getting a full bottle.

He might like Bliss, it's a General Catalogue scent, and it smells like warm, fresh-baked ooey gooey chocolate brownies!! mmmmmm... Also, Shub-Niggurath smells like delicious gingerbread! And Sugar Cookie is also amazingly yummy, and it's a pretty easy Limited Edition scent to find since it comes around every Christmas.

Just wanted to make sure you noticed this - it will help you expand upon your search!

I remember Red Lantern as being dark and sludgey....

First off, I smell berries and red musk. The hint of frankincense and fig makes perfect sense along with the cranberry, and makes this blend smell very festive. The carnation comes out in full force after a minute, and I don't like carnation. However, it definitely fits the cranberry-frankincense-red musk vibe, and ends up blending in very well. It also calms down as quickly as it flares up (with my chemistry, anyway). Then, I can detect the faintest hint of rose hip and rose. It's barely there, a supporting note. This is a great holiday scent, but it's unique enough to wear any time of year. It's by far my favorite of the 08 Patch!!

This starts out with a light, fresh, green note, which I think is my nose interpreting the white sage and pine. After a minute, the honey blasts forward and the pumpkin comes out. It's wonderful! I can smell cherry tobacco if I really concentrate, but it's blending in and it's not that noticeable. I wish there was more of it, I would love that note! This blend is interesting because it has so many notes that are heavy and creamy and warm, but those are balanced with some intangible coolness that keeps it from becoming foody or deep. I'm intrigued.

Whoa, weird! Combining a warm pumpkin note with the bright, citrusy notes and coolness of mint....it's odd.... The pumpkin note fades into the background pretty quickly, this is a grapefruit blend. Now I can smell the green lemon verbena and lime notes. This is really weird - like Lyrical was saying, the pumpkin and citrus don't blend, they co-exist. A standout in the Pumpkin Patch this year, although I don't know if I would really choose to wear it. I just don't reach for citrus perfume often. But I think this would be a scent lots of people would be drawn to. After a little while all I can think of is Froot Loops. : -)

High-pitched pine and cold florals, juxtaposed with deep warm notes, mainly amber, with tonka and musk. A strong dose of dry precious woods as well. The sharper, colder notes burn off my skin pretty quickly, except for the pine sap. This dries down to a woody, musky amber. It's enjoyable, but a little intense. Cedar really amps on me, and it dominates this blend with my chemistry. 3.4 out of 5

CHIMERA. I assume you are already planning on trying this. If it's not musky enough, just layer it with a bit of musk and voila, you'll be alllll set!

I would recommend Succubus, one-and-only. It starts out with a sharp, bitter orange-peel note (that's the neroli), but after a few seconds on the skin it magically transforms into a completely different scent. It's a soft, sweet, fresh, beautiful orange blossom. One of my nostalgic BPAL favorites!

Bubblegummy and floral and sweet and ethereal and meditative and beautiful. After a dry-down, there is a hint of cedar/pencil shavings that I think may be due to the bottle being almost 5 years old, and half-empty. (read: may have gone "off" slightly.) Barely noticeable, but I'm mentioning it anyhow. I really really love this, and will give it a very warm home.

A strange combination that I'm not really feelin', sorry : -( I get a weird stale peanut-butter vibe from this, as well.

Holy schnikies!! GORGEOUS!!! Round red wine, deepest golden honey, and....carnation?.... errr I don't really like carnation. And it's starting to dominate. Damnit, this started out so incredible! All the good notes disappeared within a couple of minutes though. My chemistry sucks balls sometimes. 2.7 out of 5

I was expecting something juicy, golden, and warm. What I get is more powdery and incensey than I prefer. It's very nice, but I would have liked more amber in this. Maybe some vanilla to cream it up a bit. My bottle of Dragon's Milk is superior so I'm sticking with that! 3.6 out of 5

Creepy is straight-up butterscotch. It's also really really hard to get a hold of. : -)

My favorite is Green Tree Viper by far! I also love Temple Viper and Death Adder, and I'm going to buy Habu and King Cobra before the CD skips town. All the rest, I pretty much hated - although I am giving Boomslang one last try.....

I have seen other people longing for this kind of scent in some other threads, particularly pining for rain on wet pavement but it's along those lines.

I got a goblin squirt of this, and it had absolutely no scent. I had a decant from a decant circle, and it smelled like perfection, like grapes and leather and musk and it was insanely wonderful. So, if you get a goblin squirt that smells like nothing, it's definitely not representative of what Dungeon actually smells like!!

Thanks to ladyjc for pimpin' out some of her Brown Jenkins to me!! I am almost positive that there is jasmine in this scent. If there's not, then whatever I'm wrong, but I am almost certain there's a touch of jasmine. I expected more coconut, and I'm pleasantly surprised that it's just a touch - the note is finely balanced in Beth's signature harmonious style. The sandalwood is so.... 'white,' I don't know how else to describe it. (Not exactly an expert here, lol) I expected a darker scent. Brown Jenkins is incensey and sandalwoody, but it maintains a lightness of being somehow - probably from the lack of vanilla tones. It's a warm, but not explosive, sandalwood blend. The scent steadily improves during the drydown, and all I can say is "Buttah." It's simple, yet strangely addictive.... 4.6 out of 5

I am mostly reminded of Red Lantern with this oil - A deep, dark musk with a rich, sweet caramel base. The patchouli note is palatable, friendly, and warm; and there is also a dried leaves/sweetgrass hue. (It is quite lovely, but I got sick of it after a little while - I blame my monthly visit for that, it was the first day of my 'deal' : -) Life sure has been busy - I can't believe it's taken me this long to start testing the Four Seasons bath oils!

Sookster did a great job describing this scent! It's got the remarkable scent of late-summer meadow flowers and dried sweetgrass, with some kind of round undertone, maybe a musk? I'm faintly reminded of Hay Moon and Coyote. I'm really glad I went for the full-on Moonbeasts fan pack, because this scent lives up to its description and is uniquely evocative! I agree, excellent sillage and throw. Sad that summer is over! Dog Days captures that longing, it's like being a kid a recess in September and you can still feel the sun's warmth, but the leaves are just starting to turn and the grass is browning and the wildflowers are drying out and this scent carries on the first chilly autumn breeze.... 4.6 out of 5
