I think I really wanted to like this one because of the name and the notes, which hypothetically, sounded perfect. The chrome got really amped on me though, and there was very little aside from that. The gardenia never made an appearance for me. I'm glad I got to try it out though.
-
I didn't think I'd like this because I didn't like Rose Red (although I love Snow White), but I'm close to love with Peacock Queen. I didn't like the "greenness" of Rose Red; Peacock Queen seems to be roses without the green. I didn't think I'd like rose, but I like this one so I may try more BPAL rose scents in the future.

Wet this was very much like Candy Butcher, which is great for me because I love the Candy Butcher. As it dries though, it gets quiet powdery, very much like sniffing cocoa powder in a cannister. It made me want to cough and sneeze. I like it, but not as much as I love the Candy Butcher. If you also love the Candy Butcher, this is probably worth checking out.

A melancholy, deep scent, poignant and brimming with nostalgia. The perfume of sugared plums over a breeze of winter flowers. 2007 version Starts off primarily as that BPAL winter berry scent that is similar to currants. It makes me stomach feel queasy. Eventually, it dries down and softens, but ends up smelling more like a berry version of that artificial Strawberry Shortcake scent. I'm glad I finally got to find out what the buzz is about, but I'm probably going to stick to Snow White and Lick It Again.

I'm on the fence. I thought it was wonderful for the first hour, but after that something sweet got really amped up. It kind of made me think of currants, and the thing is, currants and I don't get along. I'll retest later.

At first I liked this a lot but as it dried down it made me wonder whether it would smell better on a guy (even though it has flowers in it). I think I still like this, but imp-like, not full-bottle-like.

This was kind of like some sort of cleaning spray on me. It was quite astringent, and typically I prefer scents that have a little sweetness in them. This wasn't it, but it was nice to try.

I've been hoping for years that Beth would resurrect Egg Nog. For whatever reason, I'd been really wanting to smell Egg Nog even though I don't actually drink Egg Nog. Unfortunately, it turns quickly and I get the Play-Doh as well. But I'm still glad because now I know.
-
Just applied I really liked this, but about twenty minutes later after it had dried down it didn't smell as pretty to me and something a little sinister came out. Cold and sinister. I'd almost wear this on a regular basis, but it makes me feel like I need to look over my shoulder.

Regret born from ceaseless longing: wisteria, white grapefruit, neroli, green tea, jasmine, white ginger, honeysuckle, iris, and tonka. This is what Schrodinger's Cat should have smelled like! (At least in my opinion.) It's a contradiction: I smell baked concoctions, something like fresh fruit, but it all melds together into the most gorgeous, happy smell (well, I suppose a fifty percent alive and fifty percent dead cat couldn't smell that good). This easily slips into my Top Ten.

It was a bit overpowering, like Sugar Skull. Now that I've skimmed the reviews, I can sense that familiar note to Red Lantern as well. Unfortunately, both scents did not work for me, and neither does this one.
-
Wet, there was a bit of a threatening edge, but now that it's dried down, it's quite nice. Piney and snowy, but not as overpowering as Mistletoe. This smells like "clean guy."
-
I think this is my least favorite pumpkin of the whole patch. The chocolate note smells similar to 13 on me, which also didn't work out--it just turns into stale chocolate, ruining it all.

I, too, got this as a frimp with my last order (which included Vampire Tears, which I love). I didn't order this one because I'm not a red musk fan, but even so, I'd agonized over whether I should have ordered it. The frimp let me sample and put my fears to rest. Midnight Kiss is beautiful, but not bottle worthy for me because for whatever reason, red musk makes my stomach feel queasy. The blend is beautiful, and I'm glad I got to try it, but I'm also glad I didn't buy a whole bottle of it.

This was a surprise winner for me (in trying the pack of imp's ears). I tried this without reading the notes description and first found it fruity, then honey-y in the most delicious, amazing, perfumey way. One of the times I tried it, it smelled as though it had notes in common with Thierry Mugler's Angel, or that Prada fragrance, or Chanel's Mademoiselle (at least I think it's that one). But better, because it doesn't have anything synthetic-smelling about it. Absolute heaven. I totally have to buy a bottle before I finish my imp.
