Glass globes fill with sweet vitriol, and the gas passes lazily through slim tubes. A misty fog veils the senses, and the world fades to hazy, opaque nothingness. Translucent blooms, ethereal white resins, and davana. My first sniff of Ether was, "Oh wow, this smells like Jackson!", who is my son. I can't really say WHAT part smells like a little boy, or better stated, my little boy, but I think it could be the fact that this has a very clean smell. Like when he gets out of the tub. It also smells a little outdoor fresh (sounds like fabric softener!) like air, and sun and little boy all rolled into one. On my skin it still holds this scent, which lasted for a good 2 hrs. then faded. I wish the stay factor was stronger, because I really like this! It smells clean, fresh, nostalgic, young. Not at all what I expected something titled Ether to smell like, but it's surprisingly wonderful!

2 of my favorite home fragrances have been discontinued and I'd like to find a BPAL that closely resembles them, if possible. The first is a Woodwick candle, Lavender Copal. The description says it's a mixture of lavender and amber. The second is Febreze's Enchanted Evening, which is "a fresh floral and sweet fruity fragrance" and comes in combination with a second scent, Renewed Spirit, which is" jasmine, iris and juicy peach". Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hey sunshinedaisybliss! If only you lived in Hawaii instead of Australia, I'd gladly send them to you AND I'd have a friend out there to boot! I would LOVE to bring them w/ me on the plane, but I think the TSA would be totally freaked out by that many bottles. It would definetely violate the 3-1-1 rule! LOL. I'm torn between locking them in the camper (surrounded by foam, great idea) or putting them in the suitcase. I need to think on it a while. I'll post when I make my decision, and again when we arrive and I check out how they traveled so other people can benefit from my experience - good or bad. Fingers crossed it's good!!!!

Well, I was thinking of checking the suitcase. Here's our plan: 6 yrs. ago we bought a ranch on the big island. There's no house on it, just land. We're going to drive our truck (pulling our 30' camper) to California and have both of them shipped via boat to the port in Hilo. It'll take between 30-45 days. After we get it there, we're going to live in the camper while the house is being built. It's an awesome adventure! The suitcase idea came in because we'll be actually flying from CA to HI. After reading the last post I'm thinking if I check the BPAL in the suitcase (wrapped crazy amts. of bubble wrap, packed inside a plastic Rubbermaid tub) then it'll be less of a journey for the BPAL than if I mailed it from PA to HI. Either that or I can pack it in the camper. The only thing with that idea is the problem of no consistancy in the temperature. Although, when the BPAL's are mailed to me there is no consistancy in temperature, either. And seriously, no one is going to throw around my camper, so maybe that's the safest idea after all. Who would've thought I'd put so much thought into this???

Thanks for all the tips! I just don't know if I could mail all of them......that's scary! I was thinking of packing them into a suitcase, maybe in a plastic tub like Molls suggested.

We're moving to Hawaii! I'm *soo* excited! Just a small glitch in transporting my large BPAL collection. We're having a moving company take the contents of our house in a 40' container, truck it from PA to CA and then it'll go on a freighter. In 30 - 45 days it'll arrive in Hilo, HI. I don't want to pack the BPAL in the container because there is no temperature regulation. It could (and probably will) become pretty warm inside the container and I store my bottles in a dark, consistant temp. I've considered using massive amts. of bubble wrap and putting them in a suitcase and checking them at the airport, but I cringe thinking of all the times I've looked out the plane windows and seen the baggage dudes tossing the bags. However, that's the most reasonable way I can come up with. Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks for any hel

Holy hell, FLOWERS! FLOWERS! FLOWERS! And something that smells like a flowered hot dog.....I can't quite pinpoint what it is. Ewwwww! I'm sure it smells lovely on others, but whatever the components are in this (and trust me, I will be seeking out what they are so I never combine them again) they don't mix well on my skin chemistry.

100% my new favorite! Smells like a hot,s oupy mixture of chocolate, bubblegum, Snow White, Bordello & Glowing Vulva. Seriously!

Wow, this is the weirdest scent I've ever tried! Wet it's like London's little sister, all rose with a strong splash of sweetness. After about 15 mins. it turns to butterscotch, and after another 10 mins. it turns into a creamy apple. Love it, but man, it's sure different than anything I've smelled before.

When I opened the bottle my first thought was, OMG CANDY BUTCHER! Does anyone else get that? Smells chocolaty cinnamon on. Too early to tell how long it'll last, but right now it's wonderful!

HI I'M POWDERY ROSE AND I'M ON YOUR WRIST AND I'M GOING TO BE HERE FOR A LOOOOOONG TIME. LET ME SETTLE IN AND REALLY GET IN TO YOUR SKIN AND OOOO! LOOK! NOW I'M ON YOUR PJ SHIRT CUFF! HOPEFULLY I WON'T FADE SO I CAN GET ON YOUR PILLOWCASE, TOO! THEN YOU CAN SMELL ME FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK! Did I mention I've already tried washing it off? First impression in the imp reminded me of camp. Musty & watery. Def not a keeper.

I don't know how "aquatic" it is, but Embalming Fluid is a watery, spring-type scent to me. Lyonesse is lovely, btw. I have a bottle of it and I love it.

100% perfect! I initially thought in the bottle it smells like Tarot: The Sun, because of the citrus but on my skin, it smells totally different. I get lime or lemon, creamy amber and a little vanilla. It lasts for a long time and has excellent throw. At one point when huffing my wrist I got just a spark of tobacco in the back of my throat and then it vanished. This really is a complex, bright, beautiful scent!

I find it hard to distinguish between Snow White and Pink Snowballs. I was actually worried maybe I got a mislabeled bottle of Snow White! The only difference is when I put them on (1 on each wrist). Pink Snowballs does have some rose in it, but for me, it is really very Snow White.

I second the Antique Lace! I just put some on this afternoon and thought, this is the perfect vanilla.

For me the closest is Mouse. But it lacks something.... Oh! I know! Antique Lace!

I really, really love this! Strong rose that shifts into a rosy powder. Stays about an hour on my skin.

The Lab's rose scents always stay strong on my skin, and this is no exception. A delicious, creamy rose.

Arrggghhh!!! ACK ACK ACK!!!!! Initially it smelled like Palmolive soap and spice. Which is ok, as I like both. After about 1 min. it turned into Palmolive, spice and stale cigarette smoke and something very unpleasant!!

I love this. Sigh. I'll never get a bottle until I part with one of my rares! I love the orange candy-ishness of this blend! Sweet and true orangey. Know how when you peel an orange and a fine mist sprays from the tearing of the rind? That is what Orange Phoenix smells like to me. The only way it could possibly get better would be to mix it with a light version of Antique Lace. However, I'm an Antique Lace Whore, so I pretty much think SaniFlush would smell good with Antique Lace! LOL

I fell in love with Wylde Ivy's Smothered In Blueberries last year, so when Blue Phoenix came around I HAD to try it. It's less dessert than WI's version. More blueberry syrup. While I like it, and I'd never turn my nose up at a bottle of it, I don't know that I'll hunt this down with too much vigor.

It's like Midway and Marshmallow Poof mixed together, with some kinda funky tropical undertone. Loved it so much I bought a second bottle as soon as the first one came! Literally, I ripped open the box, smelled it and got online immediately. This is Midway without the butter undertone. Love love love it! *swoon*

I was a bit unsure of the florals in this, but a vanilla that reviews with coconut, pineapple, citrus....how can I resist? It's wonderful, but it does need to age a bit. The thing about vanilla is that whenever I read the description before I buy, I think, "ooo! Antique Lace plus blah blah blah...." Usually I'm pleasantly surprised, and this oil is no exception.
