    Black Pearl

    This is in my top 5 for sure. I love this soo much. I had decided that scents with hazelnut were not for me, but black pearl is so soft and sexy and slightly tropical and oooohhhhh. I feel like creamy, sexy goodness! The coconut is definately there, blended so well with the florals. I don't get much hazelnut, I think it just deepens it a bit on me. Ohhh, this is soooo good!

    Velvet

    Ohhh, I so wanted to love Velvet and totally did in the bottle and for the first few minutes on my skin! Why oh why do woody scents come out on me and drown out everything else. They are so nice in combination with other things Velvet started as chocolately goodness with a hint of sandalwood and then the sandalwood took over and within an hour I couldn't stand to sniff myself because it was just so dominating. Ohhh Velvet, you would have been sooo perfect. Almost want to add an imp of bliss(which I don't love) or gluttony to this and just see if I can somehow get the sweetness with less sandalwood. alas - I don't want to ruin perfectly good imps with my lack of expertise. I hate my skin chemistry!

    Wolfsbane

    I smell the roses too. I'm new to bpal and was lucky enough to get a few scents in a swap. I had sniffed the top of the vial and thought, nope, need to get rid of this one, but then decided to give it a teeny swipe. All I smelled was roses. Then I had to give it a bigger swipe to be sure and now i know the complexity of smelling a mix of things and smelling them change. Wet - wow, zing, a very green lemony scent to my nose. Kind of like the lemon scented geranium leaf smell - it's the only thing i can think of that smells like that. A lemon scented leaf. Next a bit of the peppery/sharp spice mixed with the lemon. Still very green, but very interesting and not really rosy. Then the rose comes out very strong. I'm not a fan of roses so I was thinking "no way". As it continued to dry, the rose seemed to be mellowing and the lemony spice was back a bit. It is continuing to evolve into something that is definately rosy w/a teeny bit of citrusy green and pepper for me. While I don't love roses, this may be a keeper - it is turning into a nice, curious scent that I really like. I guess I would say it's like walking through a green, wet field up to an old abandoned house with trees out front that still have some softening overripe fruit falling from them. Then you enter the house, it's a little musty and cobwebby but in the windowsill is a vase of really deep red roses, droopy and warmed by a ray of sunlight and releasing their rosy scent throughout the house. Does that make sense? Karin
