Very feminine. Rose, gardenia, and a trace of pear softened with a light vanilla. I'm not getting any of the honey or much of the red currant, but I do love this one. So lovely!
-
I get mostly tea, violet, and lavender out of this scent. Very pretty on my skin. I generally love lavender scents and this one is no exception. The only question is whether to stick with just a decant or order an entire bottle.
-
Sage, pine, and orange blossom are strongest notes on my skin. It has a fresh, cleansing quality to it on my skin. Really quite lovely.
-
This scent is green and frosty on my skin. The eucalyptus is pronounced, but not overwhelming and the scent definitely has a cold quality to it similar to other BPAL snow scents.

2011: Plum! with sprinkles of snow covering the fruit. Love this stuff and though I sold my 2007 Midwinter's Eve a while back, I am thinking about maybe getting a bottle of this year's version.

2011: This one is a bit more milky than my 2009 version is. Where in 2009 I got a little more rose than vanilla, in the 2011, it's more milky vanilla with just a little rose. I just got a decant of the 2011 version, since I still have nearly a full bottle of the 2009 and I'm happy with that decision since for my tastes, 2009 is better on me.

This is divine on my skin. Very soft, feminine. It's this lovely blend of soft sandalwood, frankincense, pale rose, and orange blossom, sweetened with berry. I told myself I wasn't going to purchase anymore Yules, but I think I might need a bottle of this.
-
Fizzy citrus and floral on my skin. It's nice, but I am not sure it's going to work for me. Strongest notes on me are the grapefruit & orange blossom. Just a hint of rose and carnation on me.
-
A strong, slightly sweet scent. Blood orange, pomegranate, and amber notes are strongest on me. Very bright scent.
-
Soft floral notes and green tea. Not picking up any of the honey note in this one. Has a calming quality that reminds me of that peaceful view of the sky right after sunset.
-
I definitely smell the wine and heavy smoke with this blend. Sandalwood is there too. It dries down to burnt ivy doused in wine, but I actually kind of like this scent. It's dark without being too dark and definitely has character on my skin.
-
I get lots of myrrh and opoponax with this blend. I can't really detect the leather until it's almost dry. Spicy and resinous. I love it.
-
Very green. Smells like fresh raw vegetables. Pleasant, but nothing I'd wear as a perfume.
-
Definitely Tootsie Roll on me with a bit of wood note. Starts to go powdery after a while.
-
I get lots of perfume in this blend. It does soften a bit after a minute or two, but still very strong perfume and not enough vanilla for my tastes.
-
Lots of banana leaves in this one with wax and incense and a wood note. I like it, but don't really see it as being a scent I would want to wear on my person. I'd love this much more as an atmospheric spray.

Here's a few more bottles: From left to right: PUMPKIN MASALA ROOIBOS, EGG NOG 2011, MAISON EN PAIN D'ÉPICES, and YELLOW SNOWBALLS

Sniffing the bottle, this was all honey. 100% honey and I was a bit worried, but applying it on my skin was a much different experience. On me, there is definitely honey, but the orange zest and bourbon vanilla are right there to make this scent go wonderful on my skin. I'm not sure what linden blossom smells like, but I'm not really getting any floral from it. I think this one will age beautifully.
-
I just couldn't resist ordering a bottle of yellow snow. And I am not disappointed at all. Lots of snow and citrus on my skin. Mint is light and more "snow note" than mint. This is my 3rd favorite Yule scent this year and I am glad to have a bottle.
-
So very yummy, I want to eat my wrist. I get lots of chocolate with this scent but also a lot of candy as well. The gingerbread though is light on my skin.
-
I love this scent! It's a rich spicy pumpkin on my skin with licorice and almond giving it a christmas fruit candy quality.
-
Wow, this one works so well on me! In the bottle, it's a creamy lavender. On my skin, it starts out straight up lavender cheesecake with no honey at all. It dries down to a soft vanilla lavender reminiscent of TKO on my skin. I love this one so much, I have someone buying me a back-up bottle at tonight's WC. If you love lavender and you love vanilla/foody scents, this is definitely a winner.
-
I get lots of amber and red musk as well. As it dries though, I can now smell the tobacco. I like it, but not enough for a full bottle.
