Laurel the Woodfairy Report post Posted June 19, 2005 unless of course you feel like the ice queen, in which case my vote goes to titania. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Or keep an eye out for this year's Yule LEs, in case Ice Queen and/or Skadi return! Share this post Link to post
Hedera Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Silk Road, to me, is like a hot blast from an exotic country. Share this post Link to post
Medici Report post Posted June 29, 2005 ^^ I cannot wait to get my hands on an imp of silk road. holy hell. I would also like to add, to the original question, Gingerbread Poppet - if you can get your hands on some. For me, it is the essence of a winter kitchen. Share this post Link to post
feline.by.design Report post Posted June 30, 2005 If you have to wear oodles of layers, you'll want people to be able to smell your goodness eminating from underneath all those layers, right? This equates to fragrances with lots of "throw." I'd probably go with Hamadryad, if you like the deep cinnamon scent. Yggdrasil, Blood Amber, Hollywood Babylon, Skuld and the previously mentioned Vinland are also good. Wolf's Heart is another one, if you'd like your perfume oil with a bit of Voodoo *oomph* and I'd also recommend Lampades, which is fruity (a la cranberries) but not foody. Silk Road was another previous recommendation I'd like to second. If Samhain comes around again, you may want to get your hands on that as well. Anne Bonny (don't fear the patchouli!), Scherezade, Chokmah and Fenris Wolf are also good, too. -doreen currently braving the harsh Floridian summer Share this post Link to post
Morrighana Report post Posted June 30, 2005 How could I have possibly missed this thread?!? I heartily second the Vinland recommendation...I wore it quite frequently during this past winter. I tend to gravitate towards clean, neutral scents during the day in winter, and hot, spicy scents at night, so Dirty, Aizen-Myoo, Snow White, and a few others were right up there with Vinland, with Snake Oil, Formula 54, Bloodlust, Blood Kiss, and more in that family coming out at night.

mexicat Report post Posted December 13, 2005 I was looking for a Pine fragrance with Spice,I really love the new Holiday room spray "Glistening Snow" by Glade.It smells like Christmas! Share this post Link to post
sookster Report post Posted December 13, 2005 i would highly recommend hemlock and nuclear winter ........ hemlock is just phenomenal and nuclear winter has an icy edge with pine..... trust me....it will knock your sox off Share this post Link to post
PurringPulsar Report post Posted December 13, 2005 YULETIDE. That is all. (I'm talking about the 04 version, not sure about 05 though.) Share this post Link to post
Little Bird Report post Posted December 14, 2005 You would have probably *loved* Skadi... I love Skadi. It was a wonderful spicy pine. I just ran out and haven't been able to get ahold of another bottle though Anyhow. I would recommend Mistletoe after that. Mistletoe is one of the best BPAL blends ever (in my humble opinion, lol). It's wonderfully green and snowy, but sweetens up quite a bit in the drydown. Share this post Link to post
Orodemniades Report post Posted December 14, 2005 Mistletoe and Yuletide!! Hearth '05 has a strong pine note at the beginning which on me fades after drydown. Oro Share this post Link to post
SeaMonkey Report post Posted December 14, 2005 Tarot- The Ace of Pentacles is a dirty, sweet Pine note. I just tried it today Share this post Link to post
coulrophobe Report post Posted December 14, 2005 Another vote for Yuletide (though as a caveat, I haven't tried '05). I like Nuclear Winter/Skadi/Talvikuu/etc. as well, though I don't find them to be even remotely spicy, but rather icy cold and crisp. Maybe layer one of the more piney catalog scents like Golden Priapus with Three Witches? Share this post Link to post
Mrs.Black Report post Posted December 20, 2005 Snow Bunny is piney, berry-spicy and delicious, very similar to Skadi but I think I like SB even more. Share this post Link to post
ocicat Report post Posted December 23, 2005 Dublin is pure Christmas to me! Share this post Link to post

It's wonderfully green and snowy, but sweetens up quite a bit in the drydown. If you like Skadi you will enjoy Snow Moon - so very similar! More so than Snow Bunny - which starts out piney when wet but unfortunately drys down to an AquaNet hairspray smell (which was so disappointing - I was looking forward to the "girlie perfume" note as in so many Snow Bunny descriptions.)

ajcj213499 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 I have been putting together a bottle order and thinking of springesque scents and it got me to thinking... What scents are perfect for each month or are fitting for each month. I would be interested to hear your ideas! My list: January: Snow White February: Rose Red (with valentines day and the like) March: Szepasszony (cool and wet with a touch of flowers April: Amsterdam (green grass and tulips) May: The Unicorn or Lady of Shalot June:? July: Bon Vivant August: Pannychis (jasmine is such a humid sort of scent) September: The Lion October: Verdandi November: Fenris Wolf or Haunted December: "insert Yule blend here" What do you think?

darklorelei Report post Posted January 11, 2006 I'm from Michigan, so I definitely have to say the Hesperides for September (apples!!!) Share this post Link to post
PurringPulsar Report post Posted January 11, 2006 For me, June is 2, 5 and 7 because of the roses (it always reminds me of Regents Park rose garden in June) or Strawberry Moon, or, of course, June Gloom. Share this post Link to post
TroubleDoll Report post Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) What a fun question! January: Snow White (peaceful and new) February: Whip (very romantic and tortured) March: Ultraviolet (frozen things blooming) April: Lightning (rainy skies) May: Penthus (rainly days filled with flowers) June: Shanghai (fresh!) July: Pele (warm and glowing) August: Midnight (a fully blooming night under a sticky, moony sky) September: Scaecrow (falling into dryness) October: Devil's Night (the perfect trickster scent) November: Persephone (fruity abundance) December: Penitence or Midnight Mass (peace of the season) I did this based on impressions, not logic.

coulrophobe Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Hmm, good one. These aren't necessarily my favorites, but what a month just... smells like. My least favorite months - January and November - were the most difficult. I *love* spring and summer, tolerate fall, and hate winter with a passion! January: Skadi (sweet piney snow) February: Prague (crocus!) March: Dublin (green... that about sums it up for waterlogged March) April: Empyreal Mist (smells like sunrise... which is happening earlier and earlier, yay!) May: Snow White (I'm in the minority, I don't find it wintery at all, but rather verging on summer) June: Chuparosa (it's all honeysuckle-rose and buzzy hummingbirds on me) July: Morocco (warm, dry musk - perfect for day or night) August: The Lion (warm pleasant lazy days) or Scarecrow (scorching hot dry days) September: The Hesperides (apple harvest!) October: Mabon for early in the month, Pumpkin King for Halloween. November: Bow & Crown of Conquest (winter gloom settling in, but this one smells like a sexy boy in a leather jacket rubbing my feet with vanilla lotion - yep, that cheers me right up) December: Yuletide, of course. Maybe I'm odd, but I wear scents out of season. I personally like spicy scents in the hot summer weather, clean florals like Pele in the winter. And Morocco, Antique Lace, or Al-Araaf all the time.

Xiabelle Report post Posted January 13, 2006 I can't think of a lot.... Since I go for warm scents all the time. But... March: Eos. It smells like buttercups and spring air to me, and in March all the wildflowers are bursting into full bloom around here. April: Zephyr, maybe. More sweet lovely air. May: Tamora. So sweet and summery.... I'm honestly not sure of the rest, to be honest. Share this post Link to post
oakmoss Report post Posted January 14, 2006 January: Storm Moon February: Dublin March: Tintagel April: Fae May: Marie June: Two, Five and Seven July: Athens August: Alice (sleepy summer afternoon....) September: Persephone October: Hexennacht November: Wings of Azrael December: Skadi Share this post Link to post
Finny Report post Posted January 14, 2006 January: Penitence February: Alice March: Tempest (I can't wear it, but it smells like damp wet spring!) April: Burial May: Dana O'Shee June: Fae July: Snow White August: Beaver Moon (it smells like cake, and it's my b-day month) September: Trick or Treat October: Samhain/Jack November: Snake Oil/Tintagel/Blood Moon December: Gingerbread Poppet/Tintagel Share this post Link to post
zankoku_zen Report post Posted January 14, 2006 The only scent that truly screams at me from the top of my head is October: Jack. I pretty much agree with Finny on this one. My list will probably a bit whacky since I'm currently in the Southern Hemisphere and the seasons are inverted. I'll come back to the thread after I've sniffed for a bit. Share this post Link to post
PurringPulsar Report post Posted January 15, 2006 January: Snow Moon/Talvikuu February: Niflheim (something cold and foggy with a promise of flowers) March: Asphodel (dewy and springy floral) April: Al Araaf (gentle spring blossoms) May: Alice/Fae June: Two Five and Seven July: Sea of Glass (for summers on the beach) August: Fruit Moon/Mi-Go (summer fruit cocktails) September: Harvest Moon/Mabon October: Samhain/Trick or Treat November: Devil's Night/Djinn December: Hearth 05/Gingerbread Poppet (or any Yule scent) Share this post Link to post
