    The Vine

    This is very candy-like when wet, but that disappears once it's dry. It's a juicy, syrupy pear that you just bit into with a bit of well-behaved honey. The scent feels a little bit silly; I think it will fit into the same niche Plastic Pink Flamingo does for me - very sweet and fun. I'll give it a full wear tomorrow to see if it can compete with Fae for fruity springtime scent of choice

    The Gorobble

    I loved TTP's review, because that's exactly what happened to me. I actually made my SO make a bonfire for me so I could burn my first marshmallow. But this isn't burned marshmallow at all, it's burnt sugar. A lot browner and more syrupy than I thought it would be - kind of like Creme Brulee. No smoke to speak of, how sad! I prefer Boo for my sugary needs, as this is too syrupy and thick for me.

    Sonnet D'Automne

    So. I tested this twice today In the bottle: Green and snow like. Definitely a little minty snow like Waltz of the Snowflakes. The greenness is a little worrying, it's definitely plantlike. I am determined to like this on imagery alone. Try #1: It's that darned green note from October and Chant D'Automne. I apparently can't do leaves. Then, I fell asleep, and woke up from a nap to: A beautiful vanilla-limned amber perfume that's just gorgeous. I'm so glad I have a bottle of this on the way. It's faint, but oh so beautiful. If on a full test it stays like this most of the time, I could see it being this year's The Girl. So, since I liked it so much after waking up, I slapped on a lot of it. Like.. time for a full wear! For a whole hour, it's just greengreengreengreengrassgrassgrassgrassgrass Then it turns into minty vanilla with amber and green. Once it's been dry for a long time, it turns into that beautiful vanillic amber, but that's kind of when the scent dies out on my skin. It takes a lot to get there

    October

    Ah, BPAL leaf scents... I always hope that they'll go the way of Evening Cicadas, but that's the only exception. This is green- leafy, grassy green. It smells exactly like ICD23 and Chant D'Automne, and even though as it dries the leaves get a little more brown, it's that bed of overwhelming green-ness that smells like sap and grass all the time.

    The Wiley Grasser

    In the bottle: This is like Plastic Pink Flamingo with pine. Wet: Pine and cotton candy How on earth does this even work? It’s not bad! Dry, this is like a very sticky child handing me a bouquet of pine and flowers. But way pine, and light on the flowers. It's that breath of floral that works for my floral-hating skin, like that in Lilith's Tea Party. The cotton candy note is lovely, but far too overshadowed by pine.

    Blizzard (WoW, RPG) Scent Suggestions

    I saw your post on Facebook! I love Alien Invasion for Draenei And I love Forest Reverie for Night Elves. That's perfect. And Ebenezer Scrooge! I forgot about those start zone quests, but it does fit Someone picked Blood Countess for the blood elves, which was kind of extremely awesome. I love reading these.. can't wait to see what Brian picked!

    Blizzard (WoW, RPG) Scent Suggestions

    These are a little weird maybe, but I think they fit! I tried not to pick any RPGs Worgen: The Curator, Fenris Wolf Draenei: Yvaine, Lady Una (interesting, both from Stardust!) Dwarf: Ded Moroz, Night's Bridge Gnome: No. 93 Engine Human: Tintagel Night Elf: ??? Goblin: Smokestack Blood Elf: Old Demons of the First Class, Bastet Orc: The Rat Speakers, Rumpelstiltzchen Tauren: Hunter Troll: I hate to say it, but truly, Troll Forsaken: Tombeur, Hellfire.. Zombi?

    Seconded! I'm especially interested in what Sonnet D'Automne looks like :]

    Cake, cookies, donuts, baked goods, even Cinnabon

    I just scanned my spreadsheet for the word cake Midway and Cake Smash, definitely, though they are harder to find. On me, Midway was lighter and creamier, while Cake Smash is heavy on the batter but deliciously feminine, probably thanks to the Snake Oil. Teatime in Roswell is another LE, but I see it around more often. The cucumber makes it refreshing, but it's definitely a bready/cakey scent (not so sweet though). Lilith's Tea Party smelled like the strawberry version of Teatime in Roswell, and I think they shared the same cake note. In the GC I think Bread and Butterfly is very interesting and worth a look. The bread with the sugar, cream and tea is really nice, and rather different. Lots of pie and cheesecake scents as well, though I think those are also harder to find.

    Halloween 2011 Must Haves!

    Halloween: Las Vegas for me. I expected it to be a fall scent, but I can see myself wearing it year long. It's a honeyed booze with the barest hint of berry that will be amazing come spring & summer, but is just as perfect around the holidays.

    Autumn Cider

    I normally amp cinnamon, but I didn't get much out of this (I would have liked to!) It's definitely heavier on the other spices, and ends up being a boozy citrus spice (rather a spiced citrus when it dries) on me. I can rarely do citrus though.

    The Changeling

    Once dry, this is all blond woods with a really unique pumpkin note. I suppose pumpkin rind must be different because it's definitely not as squishy as other pumpkins I've tried. The linen is barely there, but seems to make the woods a little crisper, and I can't smell vanilla. It's probably the most unique pumpkin scent I've ever tried, but it leans into masculine territory, so I can't see myself wearing it.

    Honey and Beeswax scents

    The Lights of Men's Lives is so muted, soft, sweet and waxy. I adore it. It is the only wax scent that has been wearable and not cloying for me. So cozy!

    Pumpkin Princess

    First on, this is a light, fruity pumpkin scent that's delicate and pretty. It's not a spicy pumpkin, but a lightly fruity pumpkin dusted with vanilla amber and drizzled in honey. As it dries, the tiare becomes much more prominent, reminding me quite a bit of Sugar Plum Fairy. Both scents seem to share a lot of notes, but I have always amped tiare. No more pumpkin to speak of. This is so feminine, and incredibly pretty. A definite crowd pleaser. But as I never wore Sugar Plum Fairy, I'm fairly certain I won't end up wearing this one

    Halloween: Las Vegas

    In the bottle, this smells exactly like Bones Trombone. Very strange! On wet, it's a grape-heavy wine scent with incense and something sharp that I'd bet was the lab's gin note. I really, really dislike gin notes, and they have ruined many good scents for me Uh oh! As this gets drier, it still smells extraordinarily like Bones Trombone, which I guess would be the frosting/cake/berry. The Dorian also probably helps make it smell similar, with the lemon. It really is actually quite lovely, as long as I don't stick my nose to my skin (then it's just that gin note that I hate..) It's a little bit sexy, a little bit fun. Dry, it is a boozed-up Dorian with lots of wine and cake. ETA: OMFG. The late dry-down of this scent is... amazing. It's powdery and sexy; I'm at a loss for words to describe it, but it reminds me vaguely of Womb Furie.

    Sprinklecake

    This is a dusty, almost musky chocolate, maybe a hint of verrrry dry sponge cake and those flat, powdery sprinkles. The chocolate smells kind of like dirty hair. Definitely not what I was hoping for!
  18. I was a bit leery of paying through Paypal for my Weenie order of doom, but I did it anyway. I then emailed a list of the scents to answers@... and got a confirmation from Bill later that day (or the next day - it was soon after though). However...I'm seeing all of these CnS's going out that were ordered after mine...and I know sometimes there's a hold up with a bottle or 5, but I really want these...and this is the longest I have had to wait for an order. Just a bit worried...emailed customer service just to check and maybe get an estimated shipping date on Saturday, and still no word. Oh well. I'm just ranting. To answer your question, I believe you should have gotten a confirmation email from customer service. You may want to email just to be on the safe side... I didn't e-mail since my bottles all fit in the comments box, so no confirmation about my order. It is the first time I've ordered through paypal, and Thursday will hit the 4 week mark It may be a bit soon, but have you heard back from your Saturday e-mail? I've held back from e-mailing but I'm hoping to hear either that the 9/8 orders are all moving through this week or that one scent or another is on backorder (well, this less hopefully!)

    Please recommend powdery blends

    Black musk and amber are two things that seem to go powdery on lots of folks. My favorites would be Black Temple Burlesque Troupe for a sophisticated, powdery + cacao blend, and Lilith Victoria, which is more of a feminine baby powder scent on me.

    Love's Philosophy

    I remember testing this years ago and loving it - it smelled like vanilla ice cream. But I finally managed to snag a bottle and it turned into surgical gloves! Tea scents tend to do that to me, but vanilla/cream has never morphed like this before!
  21. I got my Luna Negra on Thursday, and I ordered it on 6/30, so I expect it's still okay? Did you order anything else with it?

    Tattered Lace

    This is light vanilla and cognac with a hint of coconut and LOTS OF FRANKINCENSE. The vanilla/cognac is absolutely gorgeous and once the frankincense dries down it's a very smooth, mellow scent (unfortunately that's after 4 hours of wear, so probably the extreme dry-down considering how little I tried on). But frankincense is a very sharp, shrill smell on me - it's very perfumey and it kind of burns my nose, and it overpowers Tattered Lace for quite a while. Hopefully that'll mellow out with a bit of age the way it did with Red Lace (still waiting to be able to wear that one though!)

    Soooo have I missed a picture of what the Tattered Lace label looks like? I'd love to see it!

    What Scent Is This?

    I tried Neutral + Elf + Rogue today, and Neutral's oil is an ambery orange color, while elf is nearly clear (maybe a little yellow?) on me. I can't be entirely certain, as it was shady, but I hadn't expected Neutral to be so dark and it was definitely orange-ish.

    Different smells/colors, same perfume

    I've actually wondered this! I bought a bottle off livejournal and it was all golden incense with a breath of candy. Definitely not cakey or foody as I've heard it described. At first I chalked it up to skin chemistry, as foody scents go really strange on me quite often, but the reviews all seemed so similar!
