Orris, black amber, bergamot, plum and grapefruit. In the imp, I'm getting orris, black amber, and plum, I think. On my skin, this is orris, black amber, and then plum and bergamont, with a bit of grapefruit. Hrm. We'll see what this decides to do. Dries down to orris and black amber, giving it a second skin test to get a better sense of it.
-
In the imp, this is smoky, spicy cranberries. On my skin, this translates to much of the same. Hm. Really neat. We'll see where this goes. Definitely getting a second skin test.
-
In the imp, I've got Blood (the scent) plus a bit of red wine and I think some honey? On my skin, this is amazing - Blood and red wine and spices and honey and MMM.
-
Pineapple and lime and booze. Light application, cause this could be made of lots of fail. On my skin, pineapple and lime and booze. And urgh.
-
Grenadine, banana, and coconut. Fairly straightforward. But will most likely fail awfully. Light application. BANANA AND COCONUT, AND NAUSEATION. (Hate banana. So much.) Need get off nao.
-
In the bottle, this is almond and peach booze. Please, please work. On my skin, it's all almond and peach and orange and kinda nauseating. BAH, I say.
-
Getting the fruity aspect of this, not so much the booze. Here's hoping this stays that way. On my skin, it's the fruit... and there's the gin. GODDAMNIT, GIN.
-
In the bottle, this is blueberry and papaya. On my skin, this is... blueberry and gin. Oh, great. And the gin's dominating. Urgh.
-
In the bottle, this is blackberries and anise and tea. Mmm. On my skin, this is blackberry brandy and anise liquor. This is the one that's working the best so far, so here's hoping it stays that way. Going onto a second skin test, just for how interesting it is.
-
I'm definitely getting the brightness of the ginger ale and the white rum with just a touch of orange in the bottle. On my skin, it's ginger ale and the rum first and foremost, with a touch of orange again. We'll see if this turns. And there it goes. The ginger ale and the orange goes nasty on me, sadly. And yet another one off the list.
-
I'm getting the raspberry, the cranberry, and the gin first and foremost in the bottle, here. On my skin, it's a touch of raspberry and GIN!!!, which is really TOILET CLEANER!!! for me. Urgh. Gonna give the gin a chance to go bye bye, but it's prolly not gonna happen. Ends up being faint raspberry and lotsa gin. Yeah. Not quite for me.
-
Y helo thar, coconut, you are very, very much here in the bottle. On my skin, there's coconut, plus the florals, but pretty much coconut first and foremost. Prolly not going to fly. And the coconut + mint went to minty plastic hell on me, so pretty much had to get this off in 5 minutes.
-
Just got this; yei! In the bottle, I'm getting clove, carnation, and bay. Not optimistic about this. On my skin, this is carnation, bay, and odd types of wood. Astringent to my nose, and making me sneeze. Yeah. This probably won't last very long. Had to wash it off cause I was sneezing so much. Yeah. Not for me.
-
In the imp, this is dark and smoky and a bit heavier on the red musk; on my skin, it's a lot of smoky red musk, vanilla, and maybe some plum? Dries down to a sexy smoky vanilla and plum musk. Definitely getting a full skin test, and please dear god may it not go to DISO, please.

Male label for VILF and Tombeur label:

In the bottle (I GOT THE HOT GUY LABEL!), 'm getting leather, musk, and a bit of the wood and patchouli. Light application, just in case. On my skin, this is really sweet (though slightly chemically) leather, honey, red musk, and ginger. We'll see where this bad boy goes. Ends up being wood and cologne and chemically leather and URGH on me, sadly.
-
I got a prototype goblin squirt of this with my latest BPAL order - thanks again, Puddin' dear! This is very green, all ozone and mint, and it's not quite my thing, sadly.
-
There's definitely anise in here, and something very green, maybe pennyroyal? Not quite for me, I think.
-
In the imp, this is amber and cubeb. On my skin, this is all lemony cubeb. Well, this probably won't end well.
-
The essence of holy Kyphi, beloved incense of the Egyptian Gods. In the imp, this is almost syrupy, can't quite place it. On my skin, it almost smells like fruit gummy snacks. ...Bwa, I say? Ends up being syrupy rose and lemon. Not my thing.
-
In the imp, this is very much a purpley herb scent. On my skin, again, purple herbs and I think hyssop. Hrm. We'll see where this goes. Ends up being a lighter, more delicate herb, but not quite for me.
-
This is exactly what it says it is, in the imp and on my skin: pure milk chocolate.
-
Seaweed, gentle aquatic in the imp, which is surprising, considering the namesake of the scent. On my skin, this is a bit heavier on the salt and seaweed. We'll see what this does. Ends up going to salty cologne, sadly, not quite for me.
-
In the imp, I'm getting rose, lily, peach blossom, and wisteria. On my skin, this is peach blossom and wisteria. Hrm. Ends up being a lovely, light peach blossom and wisteria scent, going onto a full skin test.
-
In the imp, I'm getting orange and amber, similar to Sol Invictus. We'll see where this goes. On my skin, this is orange and frankincense, two of the notes that statistically work the worst on me. We'll see where this beam of sunlight goes. It's pretty much Sol Invictus on me, sadly, all orange and frankincense and soap.
