Very nice in the imp-soft lavender and wisteria, with a hint of sandalwood. More of a sad sigh than total hopelessness, but we shall see how this morphs on my skin. Hmm, unfortunately, this isn't working so well on my skin. The sandalwood is amping to an overpowering degree and the rose is going wonky and weird. It's starting to become stale, slightly rotting flowers instead of that soft lavender/wisteria musk that I got in the imp. As it fully dries it becomes pale sandalwood with a soft breath of flowers. Meh. The only reason this blend makes me melancholy is because of how weirdly it morphs on my skin Will have to pass this one along!

Hmmm. Very delicate and lovely in the imp. On first sniff, the rose in this is very strong. I enjoy the smell of rose, it just is a note that almost never works well on my skin. You know, the rose actually seems to be behaving on my skin! Hints of lily are peeking out, and even better, the vanilla musk is really coming to the forefront, and keeping the rose from going sour, as it tends to do on me! I need to give this a bit more time to settle, but I think this is the most wearable bpal rose I have ever tried! Yep, love this! So beautiful and classy! Such a perfect soft vanilla musk/rose that wafts gracefully and never gets too sour or rose heavy! Will add this to the bottle list!

Ooo, this is so nice in the bottle! It is like Fearful Pleasure's Good Twin without the dark smokiness! Warm cider and breezes through apple orchards! Yep! That is exactly what this is! Fearful Pleasure is the dark, sinister autumn night/cider scent, Punkie night is the cheerful, breezy autumn night/cider scent! Lovely!

Oooo wow, this smells good in the imp! Sexy cherry almond!!! Similar on the skin-sexy cherry almond with something darker and deeper in it. As it dries though, it goes SUPER powdery. Almost all sweet powder, with hints of cherry and almond. Not that sexy scent I loved in the imp!

In the imp, this is a sweet cinnamony floral scent. Nice! Whoa, tingly spicy cinnamon on the skin. Stay away from this if you are sensitive to spicy FOs. It has this weird undertone to it though...not sure what it is...some kind of floral scent...? I get just a teensy bit of the cherry which gets stronger as this dries down... This whole blend was just a bit odd for me. When I want my warm cinnamony/patchouli CD mix, I'll grab for Clemence

Sounds interesting...i'm a huge fan of black tea and honey, but I'm not sure about that wasabi extract. Sniffing this from the imp, all I get is the black tea and honey! Nice! Oh wow, this is awesome! Rich black tea with a generous amount of honey. Honestly, still not really getting any wasabi from this. Unfortunately, as it dries, it gets this odd smell to it...maybe that is the wasabi. I don't know how to describe it...it's just...odd. In the end, it just turns sort of weird and soapy on me Gonna have to pass this imp along!

This is an interesting metallic/sage scent in the imp. It feels like it might be a tad too masculine for my tastes, but what worries me more is that sometimes I am sage. Not sure how this will be on my skin. This isn't as sagey as I thought. It really does smell like an oiled bronze machine...very interesting! There's some kind of sweetness to this that I'm enjoying. While I am not sure I would purchase this for myself (though I can maybe see making my boy try it), I think it is an excellent blend. Somehow Beth really captured the scent of a freshly oiled machine in a way that is totally wearable and a perfect representation of Steampunk in perfume form.

Oh man, this smells insanely good in the bottle. Creamy vanilla mint with a hint of SO. This is similarly awesome on the skin. I had so far had good luck with bpal mints (Tokyo Stomp/Lick It/GRR), and this doesn't disappoint. I still get that lovely minty tingle, but it's not as sweet as the other mints I have. It has that tea note to make it a bit more interesting and the SO to darken it up a bit. I've heard this best described as a summer blend, but I can see wearing it for all seasons. I am going to give this a bit more time to dry, but as long as it doesn't change too much, this is a winner! Yep, this is awesome! The SO never gets too heavy (sometimes it is overwhelming for me), the mint calms down a bit, and this turns into a lovely minty-vanilla sexied up by Snake Oil! Totally worth the bottle!

Ooo! This is very yummy in the imp! Sweet juicy berry and vanilla with underlying snake oil. I get a little worried with snake oil blends, since the SO tends to block out any other note usually, but man, I hope this one is as good on my skin as it is in the imp! Huh, this starts to morph immediately on my skin. I get a lot more of the vanilla and neroli, but the berry is still there, sweet and delicious! The SO is not dominating this at all, just staying under the radar. Overall, this is a good blend. It kind of loses it's sweet berry punch on dry down, the neroli gets a bit strong, and the blend altogether gets a bit powdery, so I am not sure I would pick up a bottle, but I enjoyed testing it.

In the imp this is sweet honey and wine. This smells nice, but I'm not sure it would be the kind of perfume I would wear. Hm, at first this blended really well with my skin, a lovely honey/myrhh, but as it dries, it gets this weird note to it that I can't describe...maybe it's the wine note going a bit sour. Hmm, this fades very fast and ends up just being a very light sweet powder with a hint of florals. Not the complex, classical perfume I was hoping for!
-
Hmm, this is a very golden/peachy feeling scent in the decant. Sweet peach, vanilla, sandalwood, amber, they are all there. The main thing that worries me about this blend is that it may go to powder on me, as amber tends to do... Yeah, the amber is a bit too strong and powdery in this blend. This is a nice sweet vanilla/amber blend with hints of sandalwood, but is unremarkable to my nose. I feel that as it dries more, it will just turn to sweet powder. Meh.
-
A light white musk/white floral/white sandalwood scent. Very white. Not getting too much citrus from this in this imp. I think the sandalwood might amp too much on me, but we shall see. Hm. This is pleasant, but unexciting. I get a little of every note listed (very light on the citrus) it's just kind of a blah mix. It also starts to fade very quickly, leaving mostly white musk and hints of light florals. Totally forgettable.
-
Ughhh Vetiver...vetiver is my doom note. I have never found a vetiver blend that I like. Something about it just...ugh. I have to try everything though... Ughh, yeah, all I smell in this is the vetiver. Sooo strong and vetivery >_< The only other thing I can notice in here is a hint of leather, but *sigh* this is just not for me. If you really like vetiver and leather, definitely check this out.
-
Hrmph. This is one of those blends that smells like pencil shavings to me in the imp =/ I'll try it out on my skin, but I'm not holding out hope... Oh yeah, this is totally pencil/hamster bedding on me ;_; No thx!
-
This smells a lot like what it is described as-green herbs, mint, and lavender. Not getting much lime in here, at least on first sniff from the imp. This is ok on my skin. Definitely evokes a green color in my mind. I get a hint of that lime note when this is on my skin, but the lavender and the green herbs are the strongest, with the hint starting to fade almost immediately. As this dries I lose that bright greenness of the lime and mint, and get a rather dull herbal/lavender scent that fades into oblivion in less than an hour. Not a good blend for me and my skin.
-
Oof, in the imp this is a very strong herbal soapy smell. A bit more intense and herbal than what I was expecting. It definitely calms down on the skin thankfully. Still, smells kind of like expensive herbal soap that you'd find in a rich person's bathroom next to some of those expensive looking paper towels you aren't really sure if you are supposed to use or not. I also get a bit of that clean linen note underneath the soap. This is alright. As it dries it gets less soapy and more linen/cottony. I can tell it's a fast fader. Kind of pleasant and fresh, but it's not something I would wear. The bpal "clean linen/cotton" note just doesn't do it for me.

When I first the heard the initial concept of this I was SO THERE. When it was released and I saw the actual notes I was EVEN MORE THERE. And now I am wearing it and it is AWESOME. This is not a blend for everyone. You will REALLY have to want to smell like food to want to wear this. It is very strong. Even one of my coworkers recognized this smell from a couple cubicles down. Fluffy pancakes, buttered, and covered in boysenberry (I LOVE THIS BOYSENBERRY NOTE) syrup. Just what the description says. AMAZING!

ZOMG pencils and hamster bedding O_< That is all I get when I pop open the imp and take a whiff. Not any different on my skin. This is total cedar shavings. Reminds me of cleaning out my bunny's cage when I had him. Pencils pencils pencils! Not for me!

Hmm...this sounds like it might be an awesome incense blend. The only thing that worries me is the vetiver. It is my doom note. I don't think I've found a blend yet that has vetiver in it that works on me. Hmm, in the imp, this is not bad. Incensey jasmine and other florals. The jasmine is quite strong in this on first sniff. Thankfully on my skin, the vetiver doesn't take over-I can't even notice it. The jasmine is definitely the strongest to me in this...if you hate jasmine, I'd steer clear. Honestly, on full drydown this is just kind of a meh jasmine scent. I barely get any of the other notes at all. A baby whiff of carnation or patchouli here and there, but mostly just a slightly incensey jasmine. Not for me! ETA: As it continues to dry, it turns from jasmine heavy to patchouli heavy. Still just meh. I'd prefer the jasmine over the patchouli.

This is cider heaven! Warm and hot and spicy cider, I just wish I could drink this! I can tell I will be wearing it a lot when the weather cools down here. The firewood and smoke are just afterthoughts, and help keep the blend warm without being overwhelming. The only downside to this blend for me is that my skin just drinks it up and within a couple hours it is gone. Guess that just means I'll have to slather a lot If you are looking for a good autumn cider scent, do NOT pass this one up!
-
In the imp this is a strong, sweet, herbal scent. On my skin this is sort of a weird sourish-sweet herbal scent. It has a little spiciness to it as well. If I am judging this on scent alone, it is not something I would wear as perfume. But since I consider the Conjure Oils to have a more unique purpose, I am going to reserve judgement on this until my boyfriend gets back to see his reaction to the blend. Yeah, bf came home and no magical sparks. Just a rather below average herbalish scent. Will have to pass this imp along!
-
In the imp, this is a sweet cherry scent with woody undertones. Very red and yummy! On my skin though, that disappears almost instantly and all I get is the mahogany and woods, but that is not too surprising, considering I tend to amp woods. I think this would be a great woodsy/cherry blend on the right person, but not for a wood-amper like me.
-
This smells insanely good in the bottle. I don't really get the rose at all, I mostly get tea and mandarin and musk. Gorgeous! The rose comes out a bit more on the skin, but not overwhelmingly so-the other notes keep it in check, mainly the musk and mandarin. This feels very refined and dignified. Man, I really love the mandarin in this. If you are worried about the rose in this, as I was, don't be! It just just-barely-there! The drydown softens this up considerably. A soft, elegant tea scent with undertones of mandarin, musk, and soft flowers. Exquisite!
-
Tomato leaf eh? Interesting. In the imp this is very woodsy with something sharp and fresh and sweet to it. I'm not a huge fan of woodsy scents, but this is actually quite nice on my skin. Fresh pine with hints of cedar and the blackberry and tomato leaf. I am not generally a fan of woody scents, but this is probably one of the best ones I've tried. Very fresh and beautiful. Earthy but not dirty. Kind of reminds me of the pine note in L'Inverno, which isn't as heavy and green and dirty as some of the other pine blends. I can't see myself purchasing this, but I would highly recommend if if the notes sound up your alley!

OMG this is insanely delicious! I just want to roll around in it! Chocolately, caramely, pumpkin, gooey, brown sugary goodness! This is a foodie's DREAM scent! It's a different kind of sweetness than Sticky Pillowcase. Sticky was more sugary, pinky, sweet, this is darker and more melty chocolate fudgey sweet. Love this! Perfect for a nomtacular pick me up! :D ETA: Note, a little goes a LONG way! Even just two sprays was a little too much!
