    Aeval

    I got this and Juliet in the same batch. First sniff of this is the same first sniff of Juliet (sweet pea). Sounds so good, but not on me. I'm gonna give it another shot, especially since this was a gift from the lab and I ordered it on my pending order from Pink Moon.

    Leanan Sidhe

    My first thought when I opened the imp was Irish Spring Soap. I happen to love this soap, so that's a good thing. Wet: Very dewey, soft and fresh. Dry Down: baby floral - still soft and fresh.

    Chaste Moon 2005

    This smells so smooth, creamy and a little spice. I put it on my husband first and wanted to eat him alive!!! The dry down is just a softer version of it wet. Everyone is saying butterscotch and I didn't think so, but I had a butterscotch candy at home and yep that's it. This is my first lunacy and now I can't wait for Pink Moon to arrive. **Had to edit. It's not my first lunacy. It's the first lunacy that I purchased. Swapfaery gifted my first lunacy to me.**

    Venice

    A complex, voluptuous scent that captures the robust beauty and of the Italian Renaissance: lemon, red currant, wisteria, red rose petals, heady jasmine, Florentine orris root, waterlily, red sandalwood, violet plum, and violet leaf. I haven't really disliked any of the Wanderlust scents and this one is no different. It is a strong floral scent in the bottle. As the description says complex, voluptuous scent. Wet on me it is a stron jasmine and red currant. I don't smell too much lemon, but others say it's there. As it dries, the flowers just seem to mix and mingle finally allowing the violet plum to emerge.

    The Dormouse

    A lovely spring scent. Smells like an Early Grey tea with a touch of lemon (not a strong lemon though), a bit of green tea and definitely bergamot. The peony is my dry down. Just very fresh and light.

    Lust

    Lust - works really well. Not sure of all of the notes. I don't think I was paying too much attention to that when I was wearing it. I think I will wear it a bit earlier than I did last time. Then, I will know more about the notes. But it works like it should.

    Seraphim

    Angelic host sounds right on the nose to me. The white sandalwood and Damascus rose are very prominent on me when this dries. The frankincense are the strong scent when it's wet. The calla lily and wisteria mix in during both stages like a harmony in the background.

    Whitechapel

    SoapyRN sent this to me and I was hesitant at first, but she assured me that I would love it. Well, I am so glad that she knows me so well, because she was right. I don't care for lemony scents, but this does have a lime undertone to it and I was hooked. It smells ethereall (Thanks Stardreamer!). I would definitely recommend this to someone, like me, that is hesitant on something in the lemon category. I haven't let hubby try it yet, but I think I will break down and let him try it today and get his opinion of it. *edited for spelling*

    The Best Mint Blends

    Mint scents are my absolute favorite ones. Undertow and Frost Moon are the best ones that I have tried. I also think that Nine Mysteries is a good one too.

    Love Me

    Love me is a sweet and smokey all in one. A blend of senses just come to play when I opened this bottle. Heat, passion and oh so many more.

    Peach, Peach Blossom, Apricot, Nectarines

    Imp and Fae. I just got them a couple of weeks ago and I am adding them to my Big Bottles list. Peach has never been a fave of mine, but the blends of these two have blown me into must try more peach!!!
  12. I would have to say that Dublin is my favorite woodsy scent. Just a touch of dew on the forest floor in the morning.

    Frost Moon

    At the present moment, I am loving this scent. I have been allergy/sinus sick for almost a week now and Frost Moon is the only scent that I can smell. This is such a nice wintery scent. I have to say in the aromatherapy area, I can breath when I open this bottle. I need more for these icky days. I also happen to love mint and eucalyptus. I will wear this as often as I can and I will definitely go scrounging for more.

    All Night Long

    DH is not home, but I can't wait to try this one out. A month gone and I will need it for stamina. LOL. It smells good on me. Like baking in the kitchen. And since my DH loves it when I bake, I should get some great results.

    Glitter

    Glitter made me feel like a kid again. It reminded me of Jem and the Holograms. All that glitz, color and fun in a bottle. Off I go to be a rock star.

    Jester

    A sweet scent to begin with and dies down to a juicy fruit smell. MMMM Yummy!

    Spellbound

    What can I say that hasn't been said about Spellbound before. A great scent.

    Magdalene

    Magdalene A stirring yet gentle perfume. The scent of love and devotion mingled with an undercurrent of heart-rending sorrow. A bouquet of white roses, labdanum, and wild orchid. The description has hit this one dead on. It gently stirs the soul. I know what white roses and wild orchid smell like, but not labdanum. I will have to tweek my nose into learning that scent. I would definitely say that if you are looking for a soft rose that just touches your sense of love, this is it.

    Blood Rose

    Red Wine and Roses. Can there be a better combination? Two of my favorite things in a scent. This is a full bodied wine with the scent of a rose lingering. Exquisite.

    Hamadryad

    SoapyRN gifted this too me. I am so in love with this. I couldn't pick out the notes very well, but I do smell cinnamon. Smooth and lasts a long time.

    Imp

    Devilishly playful: white peach, amber, golden musk and patchouli. I was sooo afraid to try this scent. I have not been able to wear patchouli without getting a headache, but not with Imp. The peach and patchouli come out strong at first and then as they dry the amber and white musk come to play. They all just seem to linger. The only thing I don't smell at the end is the patchouli.

    Black Pearl

    I know some smells pretty good, but Black Pearl threw me off balance. I smelled the coconut and hazelnut as soon as I opened it. It wasn't as strong on me though. It has just dried to a soft sensual musk. Warm summer night on the beach. That's all I can think of when smelling this.

    Forbidden Fruit

    Forbidden Fruit. I'm so glad that is just a name, because it will not be forbidden on my skin. It is a delicious scent that starts off with sweet citrus and lotus. As it dried down, the light floral notes came through. Then it dried to a soft amber. I am in love.
  24. ashtonrose

    Fae

    Fae is just a perfect spring blend. It started out with a touch of musk and peach. As it dried, the musk died down to a soft whisper allowing the bergamot to come through. The peach was continuously prominent, but blends nicely.

    Traveling with BPAL

    I'm so glad I saw this. I am heading to Minneapolis via Charlotte and this hadn't crossed my mind. The film bottles sound like a great idea. I am so sad. I am brining almost everything with me. I never know what I want to wear. It's worse than my bringing clothes.
