    Chaos Theory V: Recursive Self-Similarity v1

    Aww man, my silver number has rubbed off already My bottle smells like lemons and rose geranium when sniffed. When I have it on it turns into bergamot/lemon Earl Gray tea time. I definatley agree with the lemony-Embalming Fluid association that people seem to be making on here. The throw is pretty strong and lasts awhile. It made my whole living room smell like it! This was my first Chaos Theory purchase and I dont regret it one bit. It may not be one that will wear that often as I am not a huge fan of lemon but I love it anyways for being special Oh and one of my friends got a bottle of the Snake Oil Series and it smelled EXACTLY like brownies. I was sooo jealous! LOL!

    Agapē

    I knew this one was going to be a winner for me! I love sweet, foody smells! My bottle of this came on Tuesday but I havent been home so tonight, after driving through a mild snowsotrm at 10pm, I came home to Agape! The label is so cute! just in time after our "Queen of Hearts" Winter is a Drag Ball here in VT. When I opened the bottle of sniff, I immediately got the apple and passionfruit with vanilla cream. I literally squealed with delight to the annoyance of my half asleep husband. After slathering this on my wrists all I could smell was the apple, but after abotu 10 minutes out came the sweet pea and vanilla cream. I think I can smell the tonka too now that its dried... Wonderful, absolutley wonderful. I shouldve ordered two bottles!

    White Rose

    I agree, White Rose to me is very reminiscent of Katrina Van Tassel, but a kick sweeter. I can definately smell the white rose, vanilla and coconut on my wrists, but not the frankinscense. Combined with red rose....Words cannot even describe the magic that happens.

    Red Rose

    Red Rose is absolutley to-die for amazing. This is a high contender for my favorite blend that exists thus far. The rose blends so well with the amber and Indian Musk. I am going to have to be careful with preserving this one. Anyone that does well with spices and Rose will be psyched to get this.

    The Illustrated Woman

    Here are the reactions to The Illustrated Woman which I riecieved today: Me: Wow!!!!! This is amazing!! Co-worker: This is sex in a bottle 1st person at the bar: You smell soooooo good 2nd person at the bar: Damn you smell good! 3rd, 4th 5th anf 6th person at the bar: Mmmm you smell like babies 7th person: You smell so f'ing good! This is the first BPAL smell I have ever had this many compliments on. In the bottle it smells like piney, smoky vanilla and when it wears down it has a faint hint of patchoul mixed with those two. The tobacco breaks through early on, but just enought to mix with the honey ansd skin musk taht I smell at first. This is excellent and I am going to need mulitple bottles.

    Pumpkin IV (2008)

    The smell of Pumpkin IV is what I had hoped Jack would smell like when I got an imp of it 2 years ago. It is smooth pumpkin, creamy and buttery but NOT too sweet. My husband says it smells like a well made vanilla latte . On my skin the buttery goodness dries down and out comes the cherry tobacco. I dont ever smell the sage but I think that with the combination of cherry tobacco helps to keep the inital mellow od the pumpkin. I dont know if this makes sense, I just know that its DAMN GOOD. Oh and the picture on the front is pretty cool too...kinda looks like a pumpkin Jason mask, haha.

    Fearful Pleasure

    Oh lord! this is the fall scent I have been trying to obtain by buying fall scent candles every year! I have been slathering this on for days and I am in total heaven! in the bottle: macintosh apple smell with a hint of cinnamon on skin: cider...then smokey cider... after 1/2 hour: at my store we sell this stuff during the holidays called Ginger Jack which is apple cider, echinecea and ginger. This is exactly what it smells like, regardless of how long its been since I've put it on. I freaking love it!!!!!!!!!!!

    Judith and Holofernes

    Judith & Holofernes smells like musky honey on me. The skin musk thing didnt work when I had it in a Blood Kiss imp (which I enabled my friend with) but it seems to work reaaly well now in this one. I love it! I dont get patchouli at all just deep, dark honey. I was at my friends house the other night with it on and she was like "What the hell do you have on and where can I get some?!?!?" ahh yes, the enabling continues

    Mad Kate

    I put on Mad Kate at 1 pm today and it is now almost midnight and I can still smell it on my wrists. I am finding that honey scents become amazing on me. I think its the freesia that makes me swoon, its so hard to find a freesia that isnt overpowering and this one is mellow but still makes me be like, oooooh yeah. I cant explain it better than lush. Luscious flowery yumminess. Damn it! I must have it! arrrggh!

    El Amor y la Muerte

    This is my favorite out of the Retail Exclusive Salons. When I smell it in the bottle, all I can basically smell is the clove, but something dusty and creamy lies underneath (I am guessing its the patchouli mixed with the sandalwood). I dont really smell the rose at all. This scent is the complete opposite of the fruity, sweet smells I usually favor (Jailbait is my all time fav). But I fricking love it!!! I slathered a bunch on yesterday when it was 80 degrees and humid and then got in the car with my husband and he was like, OH MY GOD YOU SMELL SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!. Its always good if it gets his seal of approval . If you are into earthy smells, just try a little and see what happens.
