    Vice

    To be fair...I apparently have really strange skin chemistry. This should have been another winner for me, as I am a chocoholic. But, I get the distinct scent of Coppertone. Yep, told you my skin is weird! At first I thought it was in my head...but when hubby came home he said, "Why do you smell like sun tan lotion?" So, I washed it off. On a happy note, O smells like chocolate on me! Go figure.

    Twilight

    Unfortunalty all I got out of this is soap...yucky soap. It SHOULD have been great. I LOVE jasmine and honeysuckle! Both plants are in my yard and when I have my windows open....ummmmm. I use lavendar EO in my laundry all the time...it really should have been a winner for me... :rantrave:stupid skin

    Embalming Fluid

    I got this as a frimp...and kind of glad I did because I dont think I would have picked it out myself. This smelled SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD...on my toddler son's t-shirt, where he spilled it after getting his hands on the vial. My husband LOVED this in the vial too, so I may buy another for him to try. I will buy another period...but it may just be a room scent. Sadly, the tiny bit I got out of it to try on myself turned to soap. Such strong soap that it made me choke! An hour into it I had to go and scrub it off because the back of my throught was so itchy and irritated. WHY somethings smell SO good in the vial or on other things...but soap on me...UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH! If this had stayed true on my skin it would be total love.

    Haunted

    I was really hoping this would be darker on me than it is... My body LOVES musks...and every type of BPal musk that I have tried has been WONDERFUL on me. I wouldnt call any of them heavy on my skin though...musks just seem to bring warmth to the scent for me. But, I think my body "eats" amber, lol. The amber seemed to totally disapear on me...and this is not the first time this has happened to me with amber. Save for a tinge of sweet I could detect. A strange thing happened with this one. I am not sure if I had traces of incantation on that had an effect on this or not though. For the first 30 minutes or so, this smelled of clean baby diapers on me...the disposable kind. Eww. Luckily that went away! After that though, it was just a very very soft, have to get right up on it to smell it, warmth. I will have to test it again to be sure...but I dont see this making its way on my big bottle list. I AM crossing my fingers for a change with this one next time I try it...I SO wanted this to be my layering scent to make Black Dahlia a bit darker on me.

    Lampades

    This is like a relative of Bordello on me...which makes my husband turn into Mr. Octopus arms, lol. Lampades evokes a similar reaction... This is such a beautiful blend! And um YEAH, a big bottle of this is on my list!

    Incantation

    I tried to review this a minuite ago...but it didnt seem to work...so I hope this isnt a double post! This ROCKS MY WORLD. Incantation is entirely too manly for myself...but on my husband. OH. MY. GAWD! In his own words, "I adore this scent!" Its not dark to me either, rather crisp, clean, and almost light.

    Blood Kiss

    This is very sensual...has a good throw and lasting power on me. Which says A LOT becuase not much lasts or has much throw on me. One of my favorites!

    Namaste

    This turns into lemon drop candy on me, lol. Nice but not what I am going for.

    Queen of Sheba

    Ummmm, this is nice. I dont get almond...at least not for very long. My skin must eat it up, lol. Its very much like both morocco and scherezade on me. Sweet and gentle...near the end I dont even have spice. It leans toward warm but not spice per say... It in the running for a big bottle...just not sure which of the 3 it will be yet.

    Lorelei

    This is nice on me, but really didnt do anything special on my skin. I have many other BPal scents that will get used up before this one. It IS nice, dont get me wrong, I am keeping the imp...but no big bottle for me.

    O

    Oddly enough, this smells like chocolate on me...and on my daughter for what its worth though, chocolate scents like vice and bliss smell like sun tan lotion on me so I dont know if my review will be helpful to anyone or not, lol. Hey though, I finally found my chocolate! Yea!

    Bordello

    Before I quite smoking cigarettes...this smelled EXACTLY like strawberry shortcake on me! Not like the kind you eat...like the DOLL from the 80's! It has this SAME smell on a friend of mine who is still a smoker. Now though, it has the rich scent...of a bordello! LOL, the sweetness...the richness...the alcohol smell on me...it is one that drives my husband nuts...so um yeah, its a winner! Who knew? No wonder they got so much action in bordellos, lol!

    Snake Oil

    THIS is love...pure and simple. The strongest of scents dont seem to stay strong on me...but this one actually sticks with me for a while. Unlike others, I have to slather it on though. Its fine by me becuase the end result is SO worth it. It is so rich and yummy! I can totally see why this is a best seller. I also use this one as a bottom layer for other things. Its wonderful with bloodkiss! A bottle of this one is a must for me.

    Morocco

    This is very much like queen of sheba on me...except with distinct carnation at one point. (almonds in the other dont come out on me) I love this one but it is so similar to both qeen of sheba and scherezade on ME that I dont know which one I will end up on my big bottle list...but its in the running...and one of the 3 will be on the big bottle list for sure! I must mention though, strong scents are not so strong on me. Even things with vetiver and dark musks are kinda light on me. So, for what its worth...this was the least strong of the 3 I need to pick from. Totally yummy though! Before I had tried Queen of Sheba or Scherezade, this was one of my top favorites. LOL, and now I am just confused!

    Scherezade

    This is very much like morocco and queen of sheba on me... I put it on last night not having a clue what was in it. (I was with a friend and had slathered on samples of many of her oils on different spots on my body, lol) It was BY FAR my favoirte of all the oils of hers I tried last night. My novice nose couldnt pick out a single note. All I kept saying is, "What IS this???? Its sooooo, ohhhhh....I love it!" When I got home and looked it up I had to just laugh. Spice and musk are two of the best scents on me as I learned from other oils I have. The ironic thing is that I didnt PLACE either at the time...it had an almost floral scent on me...like the carnation in morocco. Then again, Queen of Sheba gets a floral like scent on me too, go figure...perhaps its just some sweetness though that I mistake for floral. I dont know. I am too new at this to really be confident of the individual notes I think I smell, lol. For me, this scent is rather light and airy. But then agian, all of the darker and spicier scents go light on me. I still love it none the less...and I can promise that ONE of these 3 will end up on my big bottle list, but I wont know who until I wear them side by side and make a final pick. Scherezade is in the running, thats for sure!
