Pynki

In the bottle this smelled... medicinal is the only way I could describe it. Wet it was... WOAH! Cloves and... stuff. Dry, it smells a little like... incense and candles/wax, with a wafting floral from the distance from my head to my keyboard, and occassionally? Medicinal again. I would almost describe it as... holy? which is funny because- HELL GATE! Up close though? More clove and a light sweetness, but not like... sugary. I rather like it. I might have to sneak try this on my husband.

Imp from a decant circle I was part of. First. I love this. It's warm, and sweet, and just a bit tart, and creamy. I get waves of lilac, and sharper floral, and a sweetness that I'm going to assume is the candied violets. It smells creamy too in a sort of a baby oil scent kind of way. I'm going to bet it's the orris since it reminds me of black opal in that same oily/creamy kind of way. Yes. I love this. I'll probably end up getting a bottle.

Jareth in the bottle smelled very boy-ish. Cloves and peppermint-y. I put it on my husband. It smells like him after he eats a couple of peppermint candies. On dry down, it smells like him after he's drunk a couple of Jones Cream Sodas. Apparently my husband smells like a goblin king.

This is all honeysuckle and florals on me. I love it. It's sweet and lovely! This fairy does not bite me, unless it's a love bite~!

I got a bottle from a friend who's husband thought it smelled like cat pee when she wore it! NUH! UH! I love this. It's EXACTLY! The violet I was looking for. Not sweet or new, but damp and dark, and well... like a bruised violet.

I smell like a head shop. I'm all nag champa and patchouli. Which is weird, because I don't think it has either.

Well, this is a really masculine smell in my opinion. In the bottle it smells like spicy men's cologne. Wet on me? It smells like spicy men's cologne. Old spice comes to mind actually. After it's dry, it softens a little. I could probably wear it, but I think this one is getting passed on to my husband.

In the bottle i get a lot of pine from it. I was wary, but I thought I'd give it a go. Put it on? It immediately turned into Elizabeth Arden: True love. Not what I was looking for. Now it's sort of a tart floral that is quickly fading. I think this one might be destined for the swap pile, but I'll give it another go for one last chance some time.

The Raven? I think is based of a men's 18th century? cologne. It's one of the scents with violet in it. Since I only have The Raven, and Ultraviolet (either of which I think could work as a men's scent), and it's one of those, there you go. Well, I double checked, and neither has that description, but I was CERTAIN they did. It may be because many men's colognes contained floral notes during that time.

This smells like a library to me. All beeswax and spice in the bottle. On the skin it settles into a beeswax candle with a slight... almost fruity and creamy quality. I wear this on cold days when I am studying at the library.

I got my decant yesterday and I wore it last night before I went to bed. I was originally worried that it would be too masculine kind of like VILF was on it, but it isn't. I don't know that I'd call it feminine though either. I get a lot of carnation when I wear it, and on the dry down. A bit of tobacco, but not as much leather as I was anticipating. I REALLY like it though, and I'll probably buy a whole bottle of it

I've been describing Wanda as the more feminine version of VILF.

I think my body eats cherry. I LOVE cherry so much, but every BPAL I've gotten with cherry in it, the cherry scent just disappears on me almost as soon as it gets on my skin. I'm a saaaad panda.

This started out with lots of cherry and a touch of spice and florals in the bottle. As soon as it was on my skin it started to amp the star anise. Dry? All star anise. Unfortunately I don't like that licorice smell. It's the first bpal that I've gotten that I REALLY don't enjoy, but I guess I know to stay away from the star anise note now.

So, I got an imp. It's a very wine-y smell on me. Like dried sweet red wine. And leather and roses like previous posters have said. I get a strange cedar wood, or maybe pencil shavings like, smell up close, but not unless my nose is right up in it on my skin. But, I actually kind of like it. It gives a nice earthy base to the scent.
