Roogna

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

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

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

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

LOL you're going to laugh - really!

it smells like BUTTERED POPCORN

buttered popcorn with a bit of cinnamon

definitely a FOODY scent!

Hopefully this is in the right place...

It's so soft in the bottle I can hardly smell it. Initially on my skin it's still very soft and pleasant with an almost herby/earthy/woodsy/insence quality that's nice but I can't put my finger on it.

After an hour or so the scent turns very "brown", not exactly earthy but has that quality to it.

It's not a strong scent.

*edit - later in the day it's a tad more incense, but still "brown" and it's really, really faint (nose to wrist)

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

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.

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

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.

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

newer leather scents that are amazing include

Captain Cully

Ranger v5 (prototype)

Ranger

Paladin

Fighter

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

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!

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.

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

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!

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

soapy pomegranate with some lavender

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

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!

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.

wow. leather! strong leather! but a good worn leather (not old nasty couch like Red Rider)

then I get machine oil and the tobacco for an almost sweet blend that is gritty, but also bright with a high/sharp scent in there. it matches the name Rivet.Goth perfectly.

I wouldn't say this is a pretty or nice scent, but there's something about it I definitely like. It seems dark and dirty and makes me want to slather it on and do dirty things

a few hours later the leather has taken over again and is wearing more like old couch leather that's a bit oily That's a shame. If it stayed with the initial leather and the machine oil/tobacco absolute I would have bought a bottle, but this is just not a good morph on me

8 hours later just the leather - it's strong and has lasted all day. so strong the little dab on my wrist is all I've been able to smell all day. it's mellowed out to a nice leather, but with the rarity of this scent I will save my $ for something I like better
