    Pumpkin III (2008)

    My first application of this was overwhelmingly herbal, ala parsley. This second application is much different. Wet it smells strongly like Tweedledee, with that fruit loops scent, minus the pepper. YUM! I always wished for tweedledee with less pepper. Not sure why they smell so dead-on similar, as they don't share any notes (of the ones listed, of course. I think they must share some unlisted component). I think it's the Yuzu and lime that I'm smelling predominantly, but I'm terrible at picking out individual notes. The drydown has everything much more.. well consolidated I guess. It's not as tart and not SCREAMING CITRUS at you. Mainly dries down to a lime-y pumpkin. My favorite pumpkin and possibly favorite weenie so far.

    Graveyard Dirt

    Wow! It really is.. ew.. DIRT! It smells moist yet dusty and dry at the same time. I have no idea how, but it does.

    Fearful Pleasure

    Perfect autumn scent! Shares the apple note of Harvest Moon 06, I think, and is really what I wanted that scent to be.

    Sugar Skull

    Very sweet and a little perfume-y. I've never tried the previous versions, but this is definitely a bottle worthy scent! It's sugary though very different from sticky pillowcase and treat #1 which I feel share a different, stickier sugar note. This one seems more grown up.

    Huesos De Santo

    I don't know if I got a funky decant or what.. But I'm really missing what everyone else smells. I get a tiny hint of citrus in the decant, but it disappears on my skin. I'm getting what I guess is the custard note, but it smells like a cross between Tokyo Stomp, Green Tree Viper, and Minty love's philosophy on me. All vanilla cream and.. mint I don't know if that's the anise.. but shouldn't that smell like licorice? I'm so confused... And sorely disappointed.

    Aureus

    I was really expecting to get yummy amber out of this, but all I smelled was vetiver/t on application and cedar on the drydown.. My nose isn't well trained though, so maybe there isn't any vetiver/t.. either way I missed the amber

    How do you apply your BPAL oils?

    I normally just upend the bottles but I bought some cute multi-colored glittery cocktail stirrers from target today which I plan to start using for stronger blends or testing bottles I'm not sure about keeping.

    CCNow Questions & Problems

    Well that's a bummer :/ I was always under the impression that cards still worked during the month they expire (ie: up to and good through April) -- but perhaps certain online billing systems take extra caution since there is such a high rate of credit card fraud on the internet? If your card has been working fine during April then it is most likely something on CCnow's end. Yeah.. I'm pretty sure that's how its supposed to work, since I didn't even get a replacement card until a week or so ago (in the middle of april!). I understand if they don't want to take cards that are about to expire.. but at least tell me up front when I make the order! I do have to enter the expiration date after all. Woulda been happy to use another card. Oh well.. We'll see what happens!

    CCNow Questions & Problems

    Whaa I just got an email from CCnow saying that they cancelled my Tiki order because my card is expired! It does expire in april.. but it is supposed to work up until may.. it's working everywhere else and I JUST got a new card in the mail a week or so ago.. can't remember if it was before or after tiki's went down b/c it was sent to my mom's house and I don't have it yet.. bah! I wouldn't mind except for my Blue Fires!!! I mean.. if they had declined it right away I would have just used my credit card.. but to email me a week later? I emailed the lab but I don't know if they will be able to do anything since the tikis have been taken down.. *sigh* maybe this is my sign to stop spending so much money.. but man I was going to use Blue Fire as my scent on my upcoming cruise with the bf. blah. Anyone know if the lab will be able to re-order my stuff? I cant wait for their response...

    The Old Lady Scents

    This is a weird one but the non-apple half of poisoned apple reminded me of my grandma.. but more her house. Maybe even her carpet.. yech. Ruined it for me. I doubt it's what you're looking for.. but it was veryy old lady to me.
  11. Can't help with Lunar Eclipse, but the floral aspect of Cheshire Moon reminds me so much of The Unicorn, a misty, ethereal white floral scent. I'm not sure how to add the cake-y note without adding other notes as well. I too love Cheshire Moon, and although I havn't sniffed the Unicorn OR Eat Me, I'm wondering if Eat Me, The Unicorn, and Cheshire Cat could be layered or blended together to get something similar, since Eat Me has the cakey/vanilla, Unicorn has the floral, and Cheshire Cat has the fruit.. I think I'm going to try it out once I get some more imps. It might not work or be exactly the same.. but would proabably be yummy!
