    Glasya

    Bottle (Imp): Smooth and pretty. Just On: It's quite nice, smooth. An hour or two later: Smooth and sultry. Around 6 hours: Smooth, possibly a hint of woods. 12 hours: Not sure what is left, but it's okay. Overall: I rather like this one, but it doesn't make me too sad that it's discontinued. After reading other reviews: I certainly didn't get the rose part of this, but I can see how the other things (myrrh, ylang ylang, and musks) made up the smooth part. The civet in this one didn't bother me. All in all, it's okay, but not my type so much.

    Ligeia

    Bottle (Imp): Very breezy. Just On: Breezy, and fairly dryer sheet-like. An hour or two later: Smells like dryer sheets with my skin. That's too bad. Around 6 hours: No more dryer sheets, possibly some fruits. 12 hours: Back to dryer sheets, but really faint. Overall: I guess this one is one my skin just doesn't work with. After reading other reviews: I see the flowers are my nemesis yet again. Ah well, so many others to enjoy.

    Naked Singularity

    Bottle (Imp): Smooth and nice, with a good jolt of -something-. Just On: This is really pretty interesting. An hour or two later: Still interesting, and I can't identify any of it. Around 6 hours: Much lighter, but still about the same. 12 hours: Pretty much gone. Overall: An interesting scent, and I've no idea what was in it. After reading other reviews: Wow, I really didn't get the nuttiness or most of what others described, though now that I've read other reviews, that might change if I went back to try again.

    Chaos Theory II : The Butterfly Effect

    Since there are a lot of these that need to be reviewed quickly, these are going to be short little bits, and I'll put them all in one post. This is just so awesome, all these scents floating around. CXCIII: This smells like it has amber, and possibly pennyroyal in it. It goes on and I immediately smell some more pennyroyal (that mint isn't quite the same as actual mint).This dried down with that possible amber, and then disappeared really quickly (maybe three hours). magikfanfic's review CCXX: This one smells aquatic and a touch sweet at the same time. As soon as I swipe it on, I get senses of aquatic florals. Yes, I do believe this would have aquatic florals in it. I'm getting a much sweeter scent out of this after a few hours of drying down. At around 7-8 hours, this has just gone all sweet, and I really like it. magikfanfic's review CCLXVIII: I get a rather sweet watery mint scent out of this. It goes on quite minty, and there is something else playing around the edges, sweet, and one other thing. It fades to a soft mint scent with the sweet water running in and out and around it. CDXVI: This smells pretty aquatic, and somewhat floral. It goes on with that aquatic flower scent. I'm pretty sure it has flowers, although I don't know which ones. DameBecca's review CXX: Hmm, I'm not to sure what is in this one. It seems a touch sweet, and a little boozy almost, but not like booze, if that makes any sense. There's flowers in here. roesmoker's review LXXVII: This smells like sweet spiced wood. I'm loving this one, it's really pretty. CCCLXXX: This smells breezy and green. Not pine green, but forest green. It doesn't really change on me, just fades slowly through the day. VIII: It's got mint, and I can't tell what else. Not because I can't smell it, but because I can't identify it. I'm thinking this smells like minty wood. laochodia's review CCCXXVII: Well, I think I *might* smell a hint of a very light musk. I'm not sure what else there is in it though. Hmm, sweet, a touch musk, and something else. I'm pretty sure there is musk in it as it dries down. elphaba's review CCXXIV: Fresh, breezy, a touch herby. This stays pretty true all the way through drydown. CXCIII: Minty, and I'm not sure what else. It seems to stay pretty similar throughout. L: This is fresh and herby, and there's something else I can't quite figure out in it. A bit of sweet has appeared to take it's place among the smellyness. shelldoo's review CCCXCV: Fresh cut greens and some breeze. This one disappeared within an hour. quikslvr's review CX: Wow, this confuses my nose. There's something very familiar about it, but I can't figure out what it is. As this dries, I still can't pick anything out, but I like it. Imbrium's review CCLIII: This is smooth and sweet. It's not so sweet, but that sweet tone is there. Almost some woody notes in this one as it dries down. sarada's review DXLVIII: HELLO Lavender! cuervosueno's review CCCXVII: Mmmm mint. Dries down with something rather woodlike. Imbrium's review LXXXIX: Smells pretty and smooth. Nothing jumps out at me that I can identify. A little sweet going on. XXXVIII: My nose is confused. I can't think of any way to describe it, or any note in it. inkstone's review LXIV: Sultry. No notes I can name though. My nose so sucks at this. blood*rose*flowers' review LXXXIV: This smells a touch flowery to me. Well, maybe it's not too flowery. helarctos' review CCXCIX: A hint of mint, something else playing around the edges. wickedgoddess' review CLVI: Smells herby, and fresh. Hmm, flowers. Gin's review CCLXIV: Maybe some musk. Hmm, a soft powder, I'm thinking amber. XXXVI: Smells flowery, and possibly a hint of citrus. darkling's review CCVII: Pretty smooth, and something that is a little 'off' on my skin. Not sure what all is here, but it's nice enough. D: Lavender all the way. In most cases lavender takes over a scent, so I'm guessing there's other stuff, but my nose can't pick it out. CCLIX: Sweet and tart. Mellows into an almost floral scent. CCXCVIII: Smooth, possibly boozy, and a hint sweet. Fades fairly fast on me. CCCXC: Quite sweet, a little bit foody. Stays pretty sweet and foody all the way through drydown. CCCIV: Woodsy and a little sweet. Woodsy sweet incense. cranberry's review XXXVI: Really sweet, some spice to it, a mild one. Seems to fade quite fast on me. XXV: Sweet and juicy. Stays juicy and not as sweet drying down. cranberry's review CVIII: Hmm, quite herbalish, almost medicinal smelling. It calms down into a herbal scent that is quite lovely. DCLI: Super sweet smelling, other stuff peeking out ehre and there, but not so I can identify them. It mellows down to a beautiful sweet fruity scent. VII: This smells watery to me. Very fresh and pure. When I put it on, my skin immediately starts to turn it to soap, so it must have flowers in it. lavinia's review

    Thalia

    Bottle (Imp): Smooth, perhaps a touch of fruit. Just On: Pretty and smooth. An hour or two later: Fading fast, but still pretty. Around 6 hours: It's all gone. Too strange. 12 hours: Uh yeah, still gone. Overall: I liked what there was of it, but it certainly left quickly. After reading other reviews: I can see where the fruit scent comes from, and the champagne must be the smooth part. I can really see this as good cheer.

    Penitence

    Bottle (Imp): Smells dark, woody, and smoky. Just On: Wow, quite dark and mysterious. An hour or two later: Mmm, delish. Smokey, incensy goodness. Around 6 hours: Incense. 12 hours: It's faded away to nothing now. Overall: I like this much more than I expected. After reading other reviews: I certainly see where the dark resin comes from in this. Just lovely.

    Les Fleurs du Mal

    Bottle (Imp): Smells quite flowery. Just On: Oh yeah, that's all flowers. An hour or two later: Soap. Ack! Around 6 hours: Soapity soap. 12 hours: No more soap, no more smell. Overall: It's flowery, and my skin wrecks it. After reading other reviews: Absolutely floral, and unfortunately not something I can wear. I guess it's good that I don't like many flowers, or I'd have to be really sad.

    Eden

    Bottle (Imp): A little bit sweet and quite breezy fresh. Just On: Sweet grasses and breezes all intermingled. An hour or two later: Ooh, it gets even sweeter, and it's gorgeous. Around 6 hours: It's so lovely. It does have a soap tinge, but in a really good way. 12 hours: It's all faded now. Overall: I love the sweet parts, and could do without the soapy tiny bit. After reading other reviews: I see where the sweetness comes from, it's the fruits. I can't pick them out though.

    Malkuth

    Bottle (Imp): Spicy. Sultry. Just On: Spicy sultry and smooth. An hour or two later: Spicy and sultry. Around 6 hours: Muted spices. 12 hours: All gone. Overall: This is lovely. After reading other reviews: Goodness, I didn't get nearly the sweetness that others did out of this one.

    Hod

    Bottle (Imp): Spicy. Just On: Spicy with a hint of sweetness. An hour or two later: Very mellow spice and sweet. Around 6 hours: Muted spices in wood. 12 hours: All gone. Overall: I like this one quite a bit. After reading other reviews: Okay, the carnation provides the spiciness. I didn't get as much sweet as others did, must be that my skin sucks those dry in a hurry.

    Three Jacks

    Bottle (Imp): Incensy. Just On: Quite incensy and perhaps woody. An hour or two later: Vetiver! Around 6 hours: Vetiver incense. 12 hours: It's gone bye bye. Overall: I like it more than I thought I would. After reading other reviews: I was rather surprised at how this wore on me, vetiver and I don't always get along.

    Sepulcher

    Bottle (Imp): Smooth, mildly sweet. Just On: Mildly sweet hints of spice, quite smooth. An hour or two later: It's cold. Around 6 hours: Flowery, because it's soap now. 12 hours: It's gone. Overall: It was ruined by my skin. After reading other reviews: Well, it's full of flowers, and obviously my skin hates it.
  13. OriginalWacky

    Spectre

    Bottle (Imp): Woodsy with a hint of sweetness. Just On: More woods than anything else. An hour or two later: Woodsy and flowery. Around 6 hours: Woodsy incense. 12 hours: It's gone. Overall: I like it, but it's not something I'd go nuts to buy more of. After reading other reviews: Wow, I guess I get a similar reaction as many folks, it's nice, but not me. It's flowery, but not overwhelmingly so. It's woodsy but not in a rough way.

    Black Cherry

    Bottle (Imp): Smells like black cherry koolaid. Just On: Smells like black cherry brandy. An hour or two later: Odd, an antiseptic tinge to the black cherry brandy scent. Around 6 hours: Just a tiny hint of that antiseptic scent, a little bit of black cherry. 12 hours: It's gone. Overall: It's black cherry all right, but it certainly morphs more than I would expect. After reading other reviews: The antiseptic thing must have been what others got as nail polish remover. It works, but isn't something I'm going to go nuts on.

    OshĂșn

    Bottle (Imp): Quite sweet. Just On: Very sweet, and there is a hint of something else I can't name. An hour or two later: Sweet and spicy. Around 6 hours: Fruity sweet. 12 hours: Gone. Overall: Gorgeous as a fragrance alone. After reading other reviews: Goodness, I didn't get roses at all in this. Guess that's good, my skin usually wrecks roses.

    Concentration

    Bottle (Imp): Minty. Just On: Minty, almost a spearmint. An hour or two later: Minty with something else peeking out. Around 6 hours: Sweet mint. 12 hours: Gone. Overall: I definitely got mint from it, but don't know what else is there. I like it. I'll have to give it a shot to see if it ups my concentration, I was not paying that much attention to use, just fragrance. After reading other reviews: I didn't get the lemon, or any other scent as much as the mint. I think this is a nice scent, and would certainly work if used for its purpose.

    Bastet's Laughter

    Bottle (Imp): Sweet, maybe a bit fruity. Just On: Yes, sweet fruit of some type. An hour or two later: Hmm, maybe not fruit, but smooth and a bit sweet. Maybe gum, lotus perhaps? Around 6 hours: Possibly a hint of wood, smooth. Still some sweetness. 12 hours: It's all gone. Overall: This is absolutely lovely as a scent, and I can certainly see how this fits in with its purpose. After reading other reviews: I certainly wasn't too far off on this one. It does bring a smile to my face.

    Arabian Nights

    Bottle (Imp): Smells exotic and sultry. Just On: Exotic, sultry, beautiful. An hour or two later: Quite sultry. Around 6 hours: Very sultry. 12 hours: It's faded away. Overall: I can't give you any idea what notes are in this as far as fragrance, but it is lovely. I certainly think it will be fun to try in ritual. After reading other reviews: Looks like it does have flowers, but they apparently don't get ruined by my skin. As it happens, a new friend joined us for coffee the day I tested this, so I'd have to say that even though I was trying it for fragrance, it obviously works as it should.

    Temple: Egyptian

    Bottle (Imp): Smooth with some bite and herby. Just On: Herby for sure, a bit of bite. An hour or two later: Herbs herbs herbs. Okay, there seems to be a sweetness underlaying as well, but I get more herbs than anything else. Around 6 hours: Herby and smooth. A incensy kind of smooth, smoky, but much richer than mere campfire smoke. 12 hours: It's faded away to pretty much nothing. Overall: I like it, and it does have an Egyptian feel to it, so it might be good for certain rituals. After reading other reviews: I'm not sure if my nose matches up with what others are saying, but I think it's close enough. Since this isn't really a fragrance oil, but a working one, I'm reasonably certain it will work nicely for that.

    EPIC BPAL Spreadsheet Thread

    Oh, I am *SO* gonna want one of these!

    Gnome

    Bottle (Imp): This smells like incensy earth. Just On: It's quite deep, I'm wondering if there is eucalyptus in this? An hour or two later: Incensy, maybe just earthy dirt. Around 6 hours: More dirt than anything else. 12 hours: Barely there incense. Overall: Quite an interesting blend. I get an earthy dirt type of scent, but it isn't quite dirt either. After reading other reviews: I'm guessing I was right on the eucalyptus. It's nice.

    Nine Mysteries

    Bottle (Imp): Smells kinda minty. Just On: Yeah, I get mostly mint, and something else peeks around the corner just a bit. An hour or two later: The mint fades away, leaving something floral in it's place. Around 6 hours: Totally different scent, the mint is completely gone, and lotus or violet steps forth. 12 hours: It's all faded away. I'm guessing that's because it's like 100 out today. Overall: This is a lovely scent, and I'd love to see it come out. After reading other reviews: The mint I was getting wasn't really a peppermint scent. I'd buy a big bottle of this.

    Dracul

    Bottle (Imp): Hmmm, this is very interesting. It smells rather wicked and sinful. Just On: This is masculine, yes. A very sexy guy scent. A bit spicy. An hour or two later: Oh this fades down to a gorgeous scent that is pretty gender neutral. Quite interesting this one, and very nice. Around 6 hours: Gorgeous. I think this makes my big bottle list already, and I *really* wanna smell it on The Mate. 12 hours: Mmm, last vestiges of tobacco. Overall: What a great blend, and this is really nice. After reading other reviews: I think the only thing that I didn't get was the mint. The rest was great.
  24. OriginalWacky

    Serpent's Kiss

    Bottle (Imp): Hmmm, dragon's blood, something else? Just On: Cinnamon on top of the dragon's blood. An hour or two later: Drgaon's blood, with cinnamon weaving in and out of it. Around 6 hours: Still some dragon's blood, not as much cinnamon. 12 hours: Dragon's blood, and some spice. Overall: I like muchly. After reading other reviews: I'm so lucky the vetiver worked in this one. Big bottle list.
  25. OriginalWacky

    The Hanging Gardens

    Bottle (Imp): Sweet and flowery. Just On: Quite sweet and flowery, very beautiful. An hour or two later: Hey, flowery but not soapy. There's hope for my skin yet. Around 6 hours: A touch soapy, but still flowers. 12 hours: Gone. Overall: I like this one. After reading other reviews: I didn't get any fruit out of this, but I did get beautiful flowers.
