    In the imp: Oo, this is interesting. Fizzy pink grapefruit? Smells very fresh and bright.

     

    On wet: First note I get - yep, pink juicy grapefruit *eyes roll back toward the heavens* oh yeah. I love grapefruit. Very refreshing. It's not pure grapefruit, though. Something in here smells minty to me, some kind of herb. I can almost see myself drinking a grapefruit mojito right about now, if such a thing existed. Oh, and there's hint of that powder note someone else mentioned. Yep, a hint of baby powder under the citrus.

     

    On dry: ...oh. Yeah, hi, baby powder, I notice you already, you don't have to scream. I'll have to try the hair or clothing method and re-evaluate. Right now, though, it's smelling like powder that makes me want to sneeze. :( Maybe I can find a single-note grapefruit somewhere, someday...

    (Disclaimer: this is my first actual review. Bear with me.)

     

    In the imp: Lime but not sweet lime. More like vodka with lime?

     

    On wet: Is that patchouli? Something is giving me a mildew note that competes with the lime =( And it's making my nose tickle.

     

    On dry: Omg. Cleaning solution? Something that reminds me of a hospital or vet's office. The lime is there but feels like an old, dried-out sort of a lime. All well and good for preventing scurvy but not the fresh juicy lime I was looking forward to. My allergies don't like it either. :(

     

    Powdery-lime-scented disinfectant on me. :cry2: I really thought I would love this one. I'll have to find something to do with it - guess it's going into a swap pile for now.

    This is my very first BPAL Halloween!! So I am VERY VERY excited!!! :joy:

    I got decants of Boo 2011, Samhain 2011 (because this is a cult favorite), Autumn Cider, Silver - Gold - Green & Glittering Apple. After reading your rave reviews I added decants of The Gorobble (it simply sounds delish and the smoke note has me so curious) & The Changeling from the Pickman Gallery. I also ordered from the Trading Post decants of the Fruit Bat Bath Oil and a small piece of Sugar Skull, Samhain and Streuobstwise soap. I was hoping to have these sooner so I can make a decision on what to order, but that's not happening as soon as I hoped (maybe soon though). Do any of you know how long the Weenies will be available???

     

    I was wondering about this too, as I also have a bunch of decants on the way. Hopefully the time it takes, from delivery, to decanter, to me sampling and testing and making my decision, will still work out with the timeframe of scents being up. Also curious how long I might have to make up my mind about investing in a bottle of Sprinklecake...

     

    ETA: November 13th huh? Well, I won't be ordering from the lab before then. Maybe Sprinklecake and I will meet some other time... :violin:

    Hm, I would use the same rule as I would for a job interview, to avoid wearing anything too strong, that has too much throw. You never know who might have an allergy or sensitivity. But a light scent that makes you feel happy and confident - that couldn't hurt right? *disclaimer* I am by no means a professional actor, just a once-and-future theatre student.
