Musky, salty lemon. In the bottle, that is. On, it's quite potent! Aquatic and floral. Hmmmmm, not exactly what I was thinking it would be, but it's a very spring'y scent. Reminds me of the month of April. And OMG, but there's a giant vagina on the label!

This is like Faith when she went on a binge and got into the chocolate heart box. It's that sweet, sugary violets that you've grown to know and love in Faith, with a bit of tang! Chocolate! I like this well enough, but I'm thinking it needs to age to turn into something spectacular.
-
Funny, but I get no rose on my skin. In the bottle it's a bit rosey, and this might sound weird, but it also smells a little like Faith. Stays for a good long time - 4 hrs. on me so far. I like this a lot!
-
This starts a little waxy, like crayons. It quickly morphs into Chocolate Midway. Which is pretty cool! Good staying power and a strong throw. Me lovies!
-
This is soooooo good. In the bottle it's a bit strong on the creamy note, but on the skin it is pure Hershey's chocolate with almond! I was sniffing it last night and accidentally touched my nose to the lid - which means I smelled it for the next hour. Normally I'm like, "gaaah!!" but this was an "ooooo!" Love it! Except for the staying power - it was gone in an hour.
-
Hmmmm. This is a morphing scent. First of all, it's thick. Like runny honey. And the oil itself appears iridescent. Or maybe that was because I was driving while I was examining it. Goes on super strong incense. Quickly fades to lemon/lime citrus/incense. Fades about an hour later into Aramis men's cologne.
-
I think this is a dark horse BPAL. It's one of those scents that doesn't have many reviews and kind of falls by the way side. But it's lovely! It goes on strong cologne and pretty much stays that way. It's too strong for me, but I put some on my husband and son, and they smell fabulous!

Blue Phoenix is sexy blueberries. And I have a slim chance of ever obtaining a bottle.

Old time Bonne Bell orange chap stick. I love it, but don't think I'd want to go around smelling like it. But still....brings back memories!
-
I just don't know how she does it! This smells exactly like champagne and tobacco. Not cigars exactly, but still..... what oils would one combine to get a champagne scent?!?!? The woman is a olefactory genius. Now for the review! Sweet champagne on me. Fades to faint champagne and wet tobacco. I don't love it at all, but I love the idea and I appreciate the complexity.

Cleopatra Testing Poisons on Those Condemned to Death

This smells like the reduction syrup on baklava. Honey, spice, clove (?). I don't get any peach. But as this dries down, it goes more and more honey. This is the first time I've tried a honey blend and loved it! -
I don't know what it is, but this smells like pencil shavings on me. Pencil shavings mixed with perfume. I don't think I could ever wear this.
-
Rather sharp fruit when first applied. Quickly dries to peach and spice. Love it!

The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed With the Sun

Remember when you were a kid with lunch packed neatly into a lunch box? When you opened the lid, that smell? That's what this oil smells like on my skin. Exactly like a lunchbox packed w/ peanut butter sandwiches, juice box, baggie of chips. I don't know why. It's really weird! :( -
In vial it's faint cherry, a little plasticy. On, it's all creamy cherry, which is very delicate and frail. After an hour it's almost completely gone. Overall, I love this, but the fact that it doesn't stay on and my skin eats it up, I don't think I can justify a bottle.
-
Initial application: wet lemons. 1/2 hr.: salty, wet lemons. 45 mins.: Pepper and smokey. Weird. Possibly the weirdest morphing BPAL I've ever tried.
-
I've gotta say that based on the notes in this as per the description, I would've never tried it. However, I received an imp and decided to slather some on. Delightful! Faint, whispy, fabulous. I just ordered a bottle!
-
This has a surprisingly great throw! I tend to have anything with green tea get completely watered down on my skin but this hangs around nicely. No neroli or jasmine THANK GOD, but the lemon pops as soon as it's applied. Initially it did have a cleanser odor, but dried down it's really not intense at all. Bottle worthy!
-
Wet I get the woody tone, with a little pine (? maybe ?) and lemon. On, it's lilke a man's cologne. After an hour or so, it drys down to a faint lemon balm with a bit of vetiver. While this is very nice, it's more for my husband. I was hoping I could get more of the burnt sandalwood, because I'd really love to know what that smells like!
-
Has anyone else noticed that Aeval smells very similar to Snow White? I can't be the only one. This smells like fresh from the Lab Snow White. With a dash of sparkly clean thrown in. I like this, and I'm surprised because I didn't think I would.
-
Whoa! This is super dooper strong florals and powder on me! I can't wear this one.
-
Love this blend! I've had this imp for ever, and never tried it. I really enjoy the grape and plum, which makes me thrilled because I just ordered from the new update a blend that has plum! I think I'm going to love it! Back to Purple Phoenix: watery grapes. Lovely! Sigh.... now I have to go hunt up a bottle.
-
Rose and spice, maybe some fruit? While I like this, it's way too grown up for me. I think that it might be wearable (for me at least) if it was layered.
-
I really really like this, but it is an odd scent on my skin. Something reminds me of childhood. I'd say the incense, but we never went to church. It really has a strong scent of powder on me, so that may be the de ja vu. What I like most about this is the deepness it has. It has lasted for over an hour on me, although it doesn't have much throw. I have an imp of this, not sure if I'd want a bottle, but I do like it.
-
Hmmm. In the imp this was all fruit and flowers. On the skin it was really strong flowers. Dried down after half an hour all I get is a whisper of lily of the valley. Maybe I need to apply more, because the notes in this are much of what I like (except for jasmine and carnation). Overall rating? So-so.
