At first, this one does not sit well on me. While wet it's all sugar and ambergris on my skin, but at drydown the chamomile comes out and mellows the whole thing down a few notches. It then turns very faint on my skin and I found it pleasant, but not something I'd want to wear very often. Not my favorite of the set, but still lovely in it's own way. I'm a chamomile junkie and I just wish it would have amped up more and given me the best of that scent. I give it a 3/5.

This was sexy. It started out musky and then the vanilla and tonka kicked it up a notch and the cardamom came out to play .It went from a bit 'meh' to absolutely gorgeous in about 5 minutes. Probably the most wearable out of the set and I will definitely wear it. Again, maybe not bottleworthy, but one imp is not enough! 5/5

I was graciously BPAL Santa'd this by Stellans....and omg...love. In the vial it's very floral and when I apply it, I get lemony/lavender and a lovely light floral throw. It's not very strong and I get it in whiffs...but holy cow...lovely. I almost smell a little bit of 'bats' themselves, but maybe it's me...I believe it's the lemon and sage playing together. Lovely, and feeling very lucky to try this. Divine! 4.5/5!

I was frimped this a while ago from Dark Alice and I haven't gotten around to reviewing it though I've worn it a few times... In the bottle: Sea-of-Glassy with more Ozone and a hint of amber Wet: Cologney ozone with the salty glass feeling Dry: Amber and ozone and a hint of salt and quite lovely actually. I test drove it on my husband as well, but liked it better on me. Awesome scent and really enjoy it! 4/5

2009 Version In the bottle: more floral and snowy On Wet: Almonds, flowers, ozone and strangely...coconut... Dry: Very floral-almondy with a twist of vanilla and coconut...mmm...deliciously light yet noticeable throw and strangely, almonds have never smelled so good!

Um. Awesome. Soft on my skin with a femininity but not overly perfumey. I like it quite a bit though it backs off in drydown and I can't get much throw...but it's definitely bottleworthy...oooh In Imp: wet floral, white musks Wet: sweet but soft floral, and warmer than cold Dry: lovely and soft and lingering but not a huge throw. Verdict: yes please 5/5

And, if you were, would you want it for something like love, prosperity or luck? Or would you want it for a certain element? Or would you want it for something more personal- and what might that be?

It would be good, but only to a local organization and I would prefer it to go to the Steuben County Humane Society of Angola, IN. ******9/15***** Does anyone have any symbols they consider to be personally significant or talismanic? Not necessarily...the cross? I prefer Celtic looking crosses. Are there any Gods, Goddess, or other mythological figures of whom you're particularly fond?

Any songs you are desperately into at the moment? Oh jeeze, I don't know...my husband has made me like A Fine Frenzy...which is ironic. I am also guilty-pleasuring over Lady Gaga's Boys, Boys, Boys and I really love Metric's "Satellite Mind" What's autumn like in your neck of the woods? What do you love and/or hate about it? It's got pretty trees, chilly breezes, and lovely sunny days. Temp is around 40-65 during Autumn. I love fall. I hate being hot. What's your favorite product(s) at Trader Joe's? Ooh, I like their powdered Chai mix, their peanut butter cups, and their almond butter.

Is there a store that you love which does not have a location near you (but that has a physical presence somewhere, not just online? Why do you love it so much? Trader Joes, Lush, and I'd die to get to go to one of the BPAL Will-Calls (and so would my credit card. I don't have that much self control.) Lolcats....yeah or nay? Sometimes What is your favorite creepy folk story or legend? Hm...I liked the 'joke' story of Shower Caddy the ghost that haunted my dorm's bathroom and shower facilities. Apparently she slipped and fell and died in the showers and haunted them throughout the building. If your witch were to either write something for you or put together a collection of ghost stories, would you rather have it in writing, recorded as an oral telling, or both? Writing if anything, but not something I'd absolutely have to have... If you had the funds to comission an original painting for yourself, what would it be of? What would it be like- colors, size, style? I would have paintings done of my 7 characters from the online forum based RPG I play in. Seven strong, lovely, women with quirky identities. ******9/12-13***** What's something you're really looking forward to in the semi-near future? Hm, well, I was looking forward to moving but it seems all of our good news is tempered with bad news and now I don't think we'll be moving to where we had hoped. What fictional character do you most identify with and why? Lirael from the Abhorsen series by Garth Nix, I think. She never felt like she fit in (as did I in high school) and she found her path and pursued it and learned to lead. I'm a person who likes to take control of the situation. Could you use a 'travel' imp case? How many should it hold? Yes! I use a plastic baggy currently. Maybe 6 imps? I would love an altered Altoid tin to hold them. As a witchee, would you prefer to have many little packages sent to you throughout the round with a not-so-big final package or fewer things throughout the round with one huge final package to seal the sweetness? Oh that's a toughie...I think I like the mid-round package and then an end one with e-cards and such sprinkled in between but it really doesn't matter all that much though ninja-witches DO make me feel nervous. What is your idea of the perfect evening at home? Hm...me and my hubby ordering in food, sitting down to one of our favorite shows, lighting some candles and having my back rubbed and then going to bed after a long conversation. Or, you know, running some instances in WoW with the husband. We're not the romantic, idealized type. Are you on any social networks (MySpace, Twitter, LJ, Facebook, Bebo, etc)? If so, make with the links! Are you open to new friends? I'm on Facebook which I use most often, and have twitter and myspace accounts that I really don't use. What kind of socks?

My Kaboodle and Bath and Body WL are current. May I help you fill out your costuming wardrobe (assuming you costume)? Are there articles you are seeking to enhance your a) Halloween costume, Renfest attire, c) Cosplay, d) Steampunk accouterment? I wish I had somewhere to wear costumes, but I really don't! So, who has a store or ETSY shop or knows of a shop of a fellow BPALer that everybody needs to check out? I tend to hover around the Haunt, Magic Hands and Savor etsy accounts... Who are your favorite artists/illustrators/art periods? Hm, I really like Art Deco and stained glass and Frank Lloyd Wright architectural design What's your stance on cranberries? LOVE EM. Do you mind receiving used (in good condition, of course) CDs or DVDs? (I know this question was on the questionnaire about books, but I didn't see one for DVDs or CDs.) Used is much better in my opinion. Go right ahead. Do you have a crush on anyone famous? Do you have a crush on any literary characters? Hm...Hunky Man Flesh: Patrick Dempsey, Crispen Glover (don't ASK), Aaron Eckhart (wipes up drool puddle), Marc Blucas, James Marsters, Tahmoh Penikett, Michael C Hall, Nathan Fillion and ALAN TUDYK. Literary charries: Richard and Damian from the Anita Blake Series, Frost and Rhys from Merry Gentry, Touchstone from Sabriel, and a lot more but I'm spacing out. Would you like fanfiction or fan art based on this/these people? Hm, I love Jossverse FF. So yes to that but the others, eh... You're at home, or out, and you want a snack. Something that will get you through to the next meal, or through to the end of school or what ever. What do you grab? A chewy 90 cal granola bar or a glass of milk Do you have a favorite bpal bottle art? I love the Carnival art. Are there any decants from the Halloweenies, Literary Vampires, Gris Grimly, or Hellboy that you would be interested in receiving? You know, I should probably check.

In your perfect world it is chocolate and...? And video games? Calorie free chocolate, mind you. How do you scent your home Tarts, reed diffusers, BPAL, candles? I use candled, tarts, oil diffusers, and bpal mixed w/ wax in a oil diffuser...I'd love a reed diffuser and an electric diffuser, NO INCENSE PLEASE (kitty tries to nom it). What was your favouritest job ever, and why? I haven't had a 'dream job' yet but I was happiest as a barista. In High School. Which three albums would you take to your apocalypse bolt hole and how would you power the generator? God that's unfair! Three?!? Ok, I would take...Full Moon Fever, Tom Petty, Grace, Jeff Buckley and...and...crap! I'd probably take The Beatles Remastered set! HA! I win. I'd power it with treadmill to force myself to work out. What GC scent have you been putting off getting since it'll "always be there"? Hah, I always have put it off because I don't ever do anything nice for myself I am dying for: sudha segara, sea of glass, morocco, snake oil, dorian, 51, velvet, dirty and probably a few more I'm forgetting. Are you interested in things like home remedies for ailments, cleaning solutions, etc.? Yes, especially if it's hypoallergenic! Any cooks? Could you use anything cooking related? Aprons? Cookbooks? Measuring Cups? Recipes? Herb/Spice containers? Fancy Spices? Dish Towels? Cocktail napkins? Amazing Beaded Pot Holders? (like from our very own Pottersville! ) Something else? Not a good cook...I need more crock pot recipes. Really. Are you an avid reader? What's your favorite book/series? Yes I am! I like fantasy, I'm currently rereading the Abhorsen series by Garth Nix. Also liked Black Jewel Trillogy and started the Discworld series in the sense that I've read 1/1000 of his books...I need to finish the Dark Tower series too..also...would like to finish Firefly/Serenity graphic novels and the Anita Blake graphic novels...and anything LKH What's your favorite candy to stock up on at Halloween? Sweet Tarts! All things chocolate... What are your phobias? Spiders (well most bugs...), PUPPETS. Tight spaces. What is your favourite flower (or plant)? Lavender, chamomile, herbs mostly...aloe plants Duct tape purses and wallets and things are pretty darned cool. Who else thinks so? Not so much, unless it was like a duct tape imp case? An anonymous benefactor gives you $500 (or an equivalent amount of money in your currency of choice) with the following stipulations. You must spend all of it within a week: any money left unspent must be returned. You must spend at least half of the money on yourself. You may not use it to pay off debts or bills of any kind. What do you do with the money? Color me selfish, but I'd spend it on myself. BPAL order, Soap Box order, Lush order, the rest going to my "New PC" fund. I never pamper myself though. Who likes coloring books? Me, me, me! *pats 92 crayon set* Do you have a Good Reads profile? If so, make with the link! If you don't have one, go make one! Hm, I will make one... You're in the kitchen at the end of a pay period and groceries are pretty scarce. Do you take the five ingredients you find first and make something fabulous, or do you order take out? I'd probably attempt to cook something, botch it, and order takeaway. If you could decorate/redecorate any 1 room in your home, what would it be and how would you decorate it? Bedroom. Art deco theme. Accentuate my lovely brass bed. Any rabid sports fans out there? What teams do you root for? Hubby is Cubs fan, so I too must be Cubs fan. What's your favorite animal? (You can have more than one.) Freshwater Cichlids, big cats, toads and frogs! This is how the world ends... zombie apocalypse, robot uprising, alien invasion, return of the elder gods... which doomsday scenario do you prefer (or make your own!)? Zombie Apocalypse! I think I could survive that one... In the year 2525... if man is still alive... what sort of future do you imagine? (apologies to anyone who gets that song stuck in their head!) Ok it wasn't stuck in my head until I forced myself to remember that song...I think things will be NOT GOOD if we are alive. Do you believe in magic (or magick, if you prefer)? What does it mean to you? Not in the same sense as some of you. I believe in angels and demons but not magic. I believe in good and bad energy. I believe in miracles. If you found the puzzle box from Hellraiser, what would you do with it? ( and would you be able to resist playing with it? ) I'm bad with puzzles, so no thanks! Do you like pinup art/images? Yes, I like it but no I would not want to be given anything with pinup art plastered all over it. Unless it was a book of art. What are your plans for Halloween? Have you made any yet? Do you have any traditions? I wish I had little cousins still to take trick-or-treating! We'll probably carve a pumpkin, have some caramel apples, cider and candy and watch bad horror movies. Who are your BPAL forum buddies? You know, people I could conspire with to Witch you! Hmm...well...I know Paperbacknovel in real life. Merveilleuse witched me last round. What is your favorite color? Purples, dark shades mostly. Shades of gray, jewel tones Any other steampunk fans/lovers? Admire it, yes. Intimidated by it, yes! Would love a pendant or a steampunked journal though. Describe your ideal picnic lunch. Where would you go? Who (if anyone, and yes there can be multiple people) would accompany you? What sort of food would you take? And, of course, if a picnic lunch sounds like a horrible idea, feel free to say so! Hm, I would go with my family and we would have lovely little croissants and fruit and wine and of course chocolate. It would be a sunny, breezy day of about 72 degrees. What are everyone's favorite Halloween-y/Autumn-y/spooky movies? Are there any you don't own but would like to? Hmm...I would like Shaun of the Dead. It's a favorite. Also Resident Evil.

Pete is so gosh darn adorable. Nother question! Coffee or Tea? Tea please! Herbal, fruity blends! Nothing too smokey. Interested in locally produced products? Food, skincare or both?Olive oil?

I don't do dangly earrings, mostly studs. What is your favourite historical period? I love ancient Rome and I'm also hooked on The Tudors so then too What other hot beverages everyone likes for fall? Hmm...chai (mostly iced), hot cocoa, hot cider, mulled wine Did you order anything from the most recent update? Me? Buy myself BPAL? *sighs* I am waiting for Carnival though...splurges WILL be made.

What is your Ravelry name? Nope, sorry, I don't know how to sew even...but would like to learn.

I get some weird vibes from this. I'm definitely getting crisp, fresh cut sour green apples and chilly mint and then it all goes to hell and I get this powdery 'pre-teen' perfume scent that gave me one hum-dinger of a headache. Fresh on it was deliciously crisp, cold and apple-y but dry down failed me miserably. Powder and apples...noooo thanks. 1.5/5 for headache inducing properties.

In the bottle: 'Hippie Shop'. Very patchouli. On skin: Like dry woods and patchouli and a hint of cinnamon and herbs. Very intense, very good throw and staying power. Definitely a warm, 'rustic' scent that would be awesome for fall! Not my typical scent but a 3.5/5 no less.

Holy cow! Lovely smelling, but the imp I have is amaretto-tastic. Smokey, barhouse amaretto, and lovely, but still super almondy. It makes me want a mixed drink. Lovely, but not for me.

Ok in the bottle this smells lovely, if not a little too floral for me...I like the herbs and citrus. On my skin it's great at first, dewy and fresh... and on the drydown I have to look around and see if someone invited an armada of 'grandmothers' over to play bridge. Overpoweringly old fashioned floral. There's a yellow flower in there going totally wonky on my skin. It gets worse and worse, acrid even. Eugh. SO disappointed:( 1/5

Pumpkin with benzoin, bourbon vanilla, lemon peel, neroli, blood orange, and red ginger. Ok I'm no foodie but...nom nom nom. Smells like a pumpkin roll to me. Buttery, spicy and pumpkin-licious. Sadly, I would never wear it but it'd be great in the burner and my husband looks hungry...mmm great scent. 3/5

Egh! Egh! Get it off! Rose and sage and orchid are ruining my coconut, lily, tonka experience! I hate how rose turns to acid on me! But seriously, I'm gagging when I breathe it in. Battery acid. EGH!

I love this in the vial, springtime and aquatic with some nice herbal tones. The scents fight a bit on my skin, I can't really say they meld super-great together but I like them nonetheless. A good summertime/relaxing/cheerful scent and one I will hold onto the imp of for when the mood hits. Might be fabulous in the oil burner. 3/5

Hello Baby Powder and Luv's Baby Soft! Sadly, reminds me too much of stuff I'd rather not smell like. I still love the description but the drydown on this is killer. It smells a whole lot like baby powder, not a bad thing, but not something I'd wear out and about really...2.5/5

It reminds me of something familiar but I'm not sure what, unfortunately it goes all powdery amber on me:( It also reminds my husband of Skin So Soft or "bugspray"... ACK. All I get is amber now...I'm missing the grass and mallow:( 1.5/5

Hmm...a little let down... In the imp it's wonderful, like a salty spray off the ocean...but on my skin it gets VERY intense and kicks my ass about for a few minutes with the water/ozone notes fist fighting for dominance. What I'm left with reminds me of dead sea salts and men's cologne. Not unpleasant, but I think I'd rather use this in the bathtub...or on the husband. Very sad another ozone bites the dust. Still my favorite note, but not this one...2/5 I am safe from bottle lust.

Wezwanie/Hold thirded...I get nutella off of that one. om nom nom.

When it's on wet and fresh I love it, the cherry gives it a little zing in all of the floral...but dry it turns a bit bitter on me (the way roses do) and thankfully it doesn't soap up due to the lilies. Still lovely, but a bit bummed on the drydown and aging on me...meh...would be lovely in a scent locket...perfectly floral, love the drop of cherry...hate the bitter ending on me:( 2.5/5

Whatever it is, this smells like heaven to me (maybe because I'm a Cancer?). I think it's the chamomile though. Soft, slightly herbal, a little watery and calming and crisp. Soft and flowing. I LOVE this. Must have bottle! 5/5! Edit: Have a bottle now, absolutely love it. Perfect for summer wear...sooo soft with enough of an edge to it to be noticed but not to be cloying or overly perfumey. This is pure win!

In the imp it smells a little bad to me, almost a sharp sweet note, but on my skin I get pure warmed cider and smoke and trees and love it...however...it BURNS! Like...ow...when I put it on. Hasn't really stopped me, because it goes away in about 5-10 minutes, but it does hurt. I think it's destined for the oil diffuser, but I do love the fall/winter cidery scent very, very much. I give it a 3.5/5 only because it hurts, it'd get a 4.5 otherwise! Great scent, sadly skin irritating, would be excellent in the diffuser instead though.

First off...I LOVE this. Love love love. But...I don't get much of what's in the description! Roll-ups, mildewed raincoat, sweet tea, and condensed milk...yeah...sure...I get coconut, sand and a milky ocean wave. So...sometimes similar, but this almost smells a little like suntan lotion (very good suntan lotion) on me. I don't get much tobacco, I think what I do get is adding to the 'suntan' effect. Either way, I love it. It's not masculine AT ALL on me, it's light and sweetly creamy with a hint of the ocean. Weird, I know. In the vial it smells like sweet milk and tea, on my skin wet...it's all sweet coconut and ocean waves, and as it dries and mellows I get a faintly rolling sea of condensed milk with coconut notes. I don't care if there's no coconut in here! It smells like it on me, and I like it:P Anyway, 4.5/5...hello big bottle!
