  1. intresting, i am not quite sure what i expected but definitely not so light and airy and clean altho the name would porbably represent all those :P

     

    in the vial i smell something fruity almost melony, i wonder which flower that is? intresting

     

    wet it becomes a but ozonish, clean airy, w/ a hint of light floral but that very light breath of melon is still there. definitely a beautiful scent, i am in the air if i am gonna swap it or keep it, i will have to wear it again before deciding


  2. my dearest sweetest kmasden enabled me to review this gorgeous scent ty very much sweetie!

     

    in the vial: gah i am sure i will gain weight just inhaling the sweet aroma. it is sugary, sweet funnelcake coated w/ powdered sugar.

     

    on: yes definite powdered sugar coating a fresh fried funnelcake, i don't get too many more notes, but this is plenty and enough to make me wanna order a vat. midway is very light, and clings to my skin, in the movie "micheal" all the women fall in love w/ john travolta cause he smells like dessert, i imagine this is his smell. it is unbelieveable. and i certainly love wearing it, hmmm i could douse dh and imagine...well never mind :P


  3. in the bottle: watermelon jolly rancher

     

    wet: delicious candy, melon, sweet juicy actually makes my mouth water a bit

     

    as it dries it does take on an aquatic note, not sharp aquatic though, which i can't wear, this is sweet watermelon aquatic. like juicy ripe watermelon dripping down your fingers on a picnic by the lake. it is beautiful, while i actually bought this to annoint a wand i would indeed wear this as a summer fragrance, it is quite lovely, and very calming.


  4. celestial circular swap

     

    hmmm in the bottle, stone, aquatic. and resinous.

     

    on it is very cedar, possibly eucalyptus...it is sharp makes my nose rn like a bugger as it dries it gets soapy yet still is sharp.


  5. opening the bottle i am assaulted by almond.

     

    wet immediately touching my sking the almond disappears it is replaced by a sharp, metalic biting smell, i can't place. there is definitely pine, and i am thinking it smells like halls mentholyptus or something, w/ a touch of herbs and pine. it isn't a bad smell, it just morphs so completely so fast.

     

    it is gone very shortly thereafter, one of teh fastest faders i have ever tried.


  6. in the vial soft, femenine, sexy did i say soft?

     

    on my skin musk is the one yelling in my face pick me pick me, bt it is a soft sweet musk, i am thinking white musk for sure.i so detect the sandalwood, and a slight scent of cassia, but the carnation just is not showing, which really would make this completely over the top wild. this is a gorgeous soft scent it is very romantic to me. it reminds me of a super soft creamy colored pashmina wrap, comforting, warm, gorgeous.


  7. intresting in the vial, i got grapefruit and possibly honeydew?

     

    on it went immediately grapefruit and as it dried it got a bit aquatic but graoefruit was the front runner this is sparkling, clean, fresh and light


  8. aaaaccckk i am thinking beth shall be the end of me, she made so many in this pack that scream for me to love them and for me to be their slave. this is one

     

    in the bottle ginger and.....molasses? w/ a hint of orange?

     

    on my skin OMG OMG OMG did i say OMG this is gingerbread poppet gone to hell in a handbasket, dark, yet still has that sweeteness to lure you in. it is spicy, it is fresh, it is citrussy but not like lemonheads the citrus is a supporting actor, it is just there to affirm the role ginger plays i adore this one.

     

    eta i got it i know what this is, ya know in shrek 2 when they make the gigantic gingerbreadman, he is a bit evil/crazy he is this oil.


  9. in the bottle fruity yumminess, very very sweet

     

    on it is still a tad sweet, but has a green twist, and a hint of something spicey. i am getting alot of phlox very fresh summery floral, but has that green twist

     

     

    this is longish lasting and has a medium throw it is sweet and floral but not sickeningy so, it has that green twist i am thinking is a pine of some sort i do get the lightest hint of something berry like, i am wondering if one of the floral components i am unfamiliar w/ has a berry type scent? hmmm

     

    all in all i would place this among the top 3 of the gibbering madness pack


  10. i think sometimes in the beginning especially i smelled "hippie" yet when i got acustomed to bpal's individuality i can now greatly distinguish between scents. in the beginning o really turned me off, now i adore it. i just needed my nose to learn bpal subtelties. and on an aside the "darker" regular scents imho don't even come close to our dear beth's dark blends, she is just able to capture completely unique ideas and feelings in a little blue bottle, it always astounds me. hang in there and keep trying and ur nose will catch up (at least mine did) and it is true they very often bloom or develope on teh skin and in teh vial is not abtrue indicator of their notes :P


  11. this is masculine to me, ozonish, oceanic. salty, yet clean and i think there is a touch of mintiness. but not very much just a breath, as it dries it goes a bit soapy on me but ozone and aquatics usually do not go well w/ my chemistry. so don't let my reactions decide for you.


  12. oh wow, this is by far the toughest to describe so far, it is dark. there is a sweetness, but i wouldn't really say jasmine or maple syrup, it is a dark sweetness, maybe molassass type but not on top it is dark smokey incense on top w/. the sweeteness waiting, hiding and enticing you. i pick up something saffron like, this has a similar *feel* to DDLM yet they don't smell alike. if that makes any sense at all. as it dries a bit of a floral note peeks outi am not a jasmine fan, i can't say for sure it is jasmine, if it is there is enough other beautiful notes to overcome my dislike of jasmine.

     

    gah this one is hard and i know i simply am not doing it justice.

     

    editting this, as alazif has aged it has become the sexiest thing on the planet. it is a deep resinous, sandalwood, saffron, there is no floral at all. it is somewhat sweetened resin not all out mollasses, but an undercurrent of sweetness. i love how this has aged.


  13. They do not wish the souls of their young men to leave the pleasant hearths and gambrel-roofed taverns of old Kingsport, nor do they wish the laughter and song in that high rocky place to grow louder. For as the voice which has come has brought fresh mists from the sea and from the north fresh lights, so do they say that still other voices will bring more mists and more lights, till perhaps the olden gods (whose existence they hint only in whispers for fear the Congregational parson shall hear} may come out of the deep and from unknown Kadath in the cold waste and make their dwelling on that evilly appropriate crag so close to the gentle hills and valleys of quiet, simple fisher folk. This they do not wish, for to plain people things not of earth are unwelcome; and besides, the Terrible Old Man often recalls what Olney said about a knock that the lone dweller feared, and a shape seen black and inquisitive against the mist through those queer translucent windows of leaded bull's-eyes.

    All these things, however, the Elder Ones only may decide; and meanwhile the morning mist still comes up by that lovely vertiginous peak with the steep ancient house, that gray, low-eaved house where none is seen but where evening brings furtive lights while the north wind tells of strange revels. White and feathery it comes from the deep to its brothers the clouds, full of dreams of dank pastures and caves of leviathan. And when tales fly thick in the grottoes of tritons, and conchs in seaweed cities blow wild tunes learned from the Elder Ones, then great eager vapors flock to heaven laden with lore; and Kingsport, nestling uneasy in its lesser cliffs below that awesome hanging sentinel of rock, sees oceanward only a mystic whiteness, as if the cliff's rim were the rim of all earth, and the solemn bells of the buoys tolled free in the aether of faery.

    Salty ocean breezes touched by a numinous, incandescent mist.



    wow i don't know what i could add to the lab description. it is exactly that. it is standing on the bow of a ship the mist dampening everything there is sea breeze, saltyness, ozone. this is a sunny day out on the ship just standing letting the breeze envelope you.

    (sorry i don't have more specific notes it is just oceany)

  14. The Daemon Sultan, Seething Nuclear Chaos

    ...that last amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the centre of all infinity -- the boundless daemon-sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin, monotonous whine of accursed flutes; to which detestable pounding and piping dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic ultimate gods, the blind, voiceless, tenebrous, mindless Other Gods whose soul and messenger is the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep.

    Azathoth is the blind, idiot god who sits on a black throne at the center of Chaos. His scent is high-pitched and screeching, both impenetrably dark and searingly bright with the clarity of madness: tangerine, saffron, vetiver, black amber and cedarwood.


    in the bottle dark, sinister resinous, a teeny bit of the tangerine lingers. this is definitely a unisex blend. i actually would love to smell it on my dh.

    on my skin cedarwood is the note most prominent, then vetiver as i move my hand away from my nose i get a gentle waft of black amber and the tangerine is mia. this is strong and masculine dark resinous, swarthy. yet there is something green in there i am trying to pin point what exactly is the greenness. man this is a wellblended scent. i will have to keep sniffing and update when i place exactly what that note is.

  15. A belching column of sick greenish flame... spouting volcanically from depths profound and inconceivable, casting no shadows as healthy flame should, and coating the nitrous stone with a nasty, venomous verdigris. For in all that seething combustion no warmth lay, but only the clamminess of death and corruption.

    A crystalline, cold green fire: six mints with white pepper and cucumber.


    wow this is cold, minty and reminds me greatly of frost moon, there are some definite similarities here. so there you have it, cold, minty, reminecent of frost moon.
