    Thunder and Blazes

    I was hoping for more leather sadly, what I got was a wet scent that smells of mildew. there's leather there, but it smells like mildewed leather...even washing it off I smell like I'm moldy edit* I washed this off...but the smell didn't go away. In fact, HOURS later (6+) I can still smell it. There's a bit more leather, but it's still moldy mildewed

    Le Lèthè

    at first it's all black orchid and red musk - purpley and hazy - yay! then pretty quickly the golden notes and nutmeg come out and really turn this "foody" on me. I smell yummy - but I don't like to smell like food lol almost a gingerbread-like smell

    Kathmandu

    it smells like Vix vapor rub only slightly "lighter" (probably the lotus)

    UOH2

    definitely similar to BB, but it's (thankfully) is not quite as "vicks-rub" - there's still a hint of it, that must be the hemp b/c I *do* get "hemp" smell as well, that seems mixed in the vanilla is a much more mellow sweetness than BB, and it becomes more and more dominant as the hemp and patchouli give way. it's creamy vanilla but the other notes don't disappear, they just move to the background so you smell the vanilla *then* the hemp and patchouli. I like this much more than BB

    Banshee Beat

    a touch of sweetness from the vanilla and hemp. it's almost like eucalyptus or vicks or something. medical-rub meets hemp. there's some earthy patchouli too, but it's hard to distinguish it from the hemp. the "mediciney" quality grows - not what I want to smell like the patchouli comes out more too, overall this is a strong scent - you better like the notes

    SDPU1

    LOL you're going to laugh - really! it smells like BUTTERED POPCORN buttered popcorn with a bit of cinnamon definitely a FOODY scent!

    TALVIKUV

    BPAL's etsy page said this was a DD from 2005. Hopefully I'm not duplicating a post, but I checked all over... It's hard to tell exactly what it smells like in the bottle, but on my skin I get "pinesol clean". Very citrus and astringent. Even washing if off doesn't actually wash it off and I still smell like pinesol

    Nepthys v2

    super faint! really, really hard to smell it, even with nose to wrist. I definitely get a tinge of something brown, maybe woodsey, but it's just too faint to tell. the notes are soft though - not harsh or sharp. it's a bit like insence and there's a "brown" note in there.
  9. blue and soft with a hint of something lighter and almost tangy sweet, yet white. this becomes stronger and I can tell it's a floral. it's not bad, but it's too white and clean for me..though the blue musk makes it quite nice
  10. I was looking forward to this scent from the set more than any other. It finally arrives, I put it on my skin, and soap. all I get is soap. whenever a bpal scent goes soapy on me I attribute it to my skin chemistry, but that also means it's not a keeper.

    Champagne And Opium

    VERY strong champagne and heavy opium - you really need to like both notes to like this and it BURNS my skin!!!! *flails* instant reaction I washed it off immediately and my skin still burned for another hour

    Leather

    newer leather scents that are amazing include Captain Cully Ranger v5 (prototype) Ranger Paladin Fighter

    The High Priest Not To Be Described

    deliciously smokey dragon's blood (though not as sweet as pure DB) over a hint of leather but I put a fair amount on and it's a lot fainter than I like. I'm not sure slathering will help but it's wonderful..if only I could smell more of it

    Manilus Hurled from the Rock

    I wish this were stronger on me. It's a very nice scent, but it's sooooo faint and soft. I went back and slathered it on my arm, but I can only smell it when my nose goes to my wrist or the occassional random waft as I move. In the imp I get more wood, but on my skin it's sandalwood and leather. but it's so faint I REALLY have to take a good long sniff from my wrist to get that wonderful leather note. (it's been on for 2 hours with no morphing and no getting stronger). I like my scents to be a bit more noticable, but it's quite nice! *edit - another 90 minutes later and the leather is coming out more! i'm hopeful!

    AF6

    blech. smells like tht old "shaped" soap we had in the late 80s /early 90s...you know the kind you bought from craft stores because it looked like seahorses or butterflies, etc.

    Carnivàle

    Bright, intoxicating, hectic notes masking a twisted, corrupted core: sweet wild berry, spicy carnation and heliotrope layered over deep amber and musk. berry and sweet. has a juicy fruit quality to it, but better.

    Trinket

    the first thing I notice is the spice. almost a cinnamon but not quite - more sweet, almost fruity. that's mainly what I get is a nice spice but it has undertones of wood. I would have said more of a orange/citrus than cherry, with red from the spice, maybe even a hint of red musk sadly, it stays VERY close to the skin and I like my scents to surround me a bit more. I like it, but not enough to hunt down this LE *edit a few hours later it turns almost soapy, still very soft and almost fruity spice is gone

    Lovers in a Ricefield

    oooooh that plum blossom!!!! it reminds me of Kitsune-Tsuki, but not as layered. after several hours I might be picking up some of the rice, but it stays a strong plum!

    Snow Moon

    the fir is VERY strong at first then disappears within an hour. After that I don't smell much else at all, maybe light flowers, maybe... but it's almost like I put nothing on

    Pomegranate IV

    pomegranate with red musk and something sharp. it's not a bad scent, just not me
  21. Roogna

    Pomegranate III

    soapy pomegranate with some lavender

    Casanova

    At first it's just a very nice men's cologne but after an hour or two the leather comes out nicely making it a wonderful suave and sexy leather-cologne this is not one for slathering as it's strong, but it's very nice
  23. Roogna

    Bogle

    finally! a "foody" scent that I like! normally, pumpkin gets amped so much I can't wear it, and foody scents I do NOT like ON me. but this one is a sweet-foody scent that I like. initially very strong, but good in a matter of seconds. within an hour or two it's faded considerably though but I still like sniffing my wrist I do get lots of different scents in one, but they are quite well blended (ie they don't scream at me like Floating Market). I *think* blueberry is the dominant note on me. I would love to have more than my tiny tester so I could slather some on and Really test it!

    Bastet

    oh wow I love this! Immediately going on the 'must have a bottle' list warm, almost yummy in a way (not foody), just awesome I don't want to stop sniffing my wrist it's soft with musk, myrrh, and floral playing very well together. if I got any hint of saffron at the beginning it faded fast on me and I'm not sure I can pinpoint almond or amber, but they're there.
