I am in love with scent of Frankincense and Clove hair gloss and would really love to find it's perfume oil partner: any good recommendations? Preferably without too much flowery notes but extra woody notes could be perfectly fine

I am madly in love with Paper Kite - so much that my promises to all other wonderful scents have been forgotten when my hands almost automatically just want to embrace this fragile beauty This is THE coconut scent for me even though i still love almost all the other coconutty goodies too but in Paper Kite I have found my current signature scent In bottle and wet: intriguing mix of sugar and pepper with warm coconut behind drying: still same though coconut becomes stronger and drier and not at all like sunoil dry: sugary coconut with fresh herbal nuance that prevents this going too innocently girly - clean, happy and calm and just utterly amazing

bottle: sweet and sour and somehow icky like urine wet on skin: luckily that icky smell from bottle did not appear on skin as this is boozy coconut delight - sweet and strong like good pina colada though there is bit scary whiff of jasmine in it (jasmine and I do not get well along - and that first impression of urine was probably because of these flowers of doom) dry on skin: sweetiness settles down a bit and boozy and bit fruity wet scent morphs into more floral and soft and very pretty combination of coconut and frangipani - there is also hint of woodsiness i cannot identify but luckily frangipani keeps jasmines on background I am coconut-holic so this definately fits in my collection even though I tend to love bit spicier and dryer coconuts more - coconut and frangipani makes this however very comforting, familiar and happy scent as those belong seamlessly to my tropical surroundings

bottle: warm and softly spicy - mostly wood wet: sweet soft spices blend beautifully with dry wood - this is surprisingly light though at this stage so i need to slather dry: this is very soft and warm and comforting - spices, vanilla and dry wood are all still there and blend together beautifully but so softly that it is barely there this is absolutely beautiful scent but i wish it was bit stronger on me - need to try how this behaves in hot and humid outdoors as ice-cold office usually fades most of warm scents. I love this little birdie anyway as faint, beautiful notes last pretty well and make me feel relaxed and happy

smells like dusty dark cheap cherry chocolate - old box that has been waiting too long to be eaten...at wet state this was still deliciously chocolately but morphed into dusty plastics on skin sadly not working on me

angry pack of musky monkeys appear from bottle and first impression is to get rid of this quickly but during drydown this starts to settle and in the end it is cute furry but still sexy and musky monkey that is not enraged at all need full-scale test to get final verdict - this did not feel "me" but could still work in some environment and i absolutely adore orangutans (maybe i should wear this when i go to jungle trip in Borneo and see if i could lure some of those silent forestdwellers to appear in sight )

spicy dark vanilla - smelled nice in bottle, wet and dry but disappeared completely within 2 hours - what a disappointment but maybe i should retry this outdoors as cold office could not bring out sexiness of this very well

this is strong and overpowering - also sexy and commanding but i don't feel it to be really me so to avoid migraine i needed to wash it off and give it another try later new try: not overpowering at all but beautiful - patchouli seems to be note that works on my skin chemistry and spices and hint of orange blossoms soften scent into luscious goodness. Somehow this seems to be very similar to Snake Oil so need to analyse both in detail to understand why totally different list of notes give so similar impression but this works so much better on me

imp: sweet, spicy and dark wet: first sniff feels pretty similar with Snake Oil but is more ladylike - i cannot recognize notes here but overall impression is sweet and smoky dry: there is something chocolate-like in this with sweet, spicy and smoky wood - it is confident and very beautiful with dark, regal way and it makes me feel energized and strong at first this felt even bit too strong but it calms down beautifully to ladylike, sexy scent that has an aura of power so this definately is scent for me - big bottle needed ASAP!

bottle: mmm chocolate wet: whoa - beer! I love beer but definately do not want to smell like beer especially at work - with beer there is still lots of chocolate so this reminds me of some crazy flavoured dark beer dry: thank god beer fades to the background though it still is there and chocolate is here to stay: it is delicious and spicy this is really fun scent after i get over that beer smell so need to try this at different occasions - for office this was probably bit too foody as i graved for something sweet whole day what i usually do not do

Black Pearl was my first BPAL love from many sniffs from my BPAL addicted friend and after finishing my inherited imp I was ready to get addiced too. Recently I have associated this scent or its name too much to one utterly annoying person with same name at my online game community so at first I wanted to give up this old love but then decided that one person cannot spoil anything i remembered to be so beautiful so i gave Black Pearl a new try imp: spicy coconut wet: hint of saltness under spices and dry coconut - this is not sunny beach coconut but more mysterious and sexy where i don't get any flowery notes dry: stays surprisingly similar with wet stage but hazelnuts seems to make this bit woodier than earlier more coconutty stage. For some funny reason this gives me association of nicely spiced seafood laksa (which I love) though thank god this does not smell at all fishy but perhaps there is something marine in it like suits well with association of Pirates of Caribbean this scent is pretty close to the skin but lasts long and gives overall lazy, sensual feeling like lingering in hammock at the deck of the old ship under the moonlight and coconut palms swaying gently in the horizon I am glad i decided to love Black Pearl again as this is beautiful and as a coconut junkie I need different coconutty vibes for different days and this is perfect when i want to be luscious and lazy

cinnamon spiced apples — warm and happy harvest-time scent but as I was testing this same time with Vixen that got too overpowerign so i need to give this another time on its own as full-day scent new try: imp: still cinnamon spiced apples wet: somehow this reminds me of Gluhwein i tested previous day and I had to resniff my both wrists to ensure that Gluhwein was not there anymore — this is softer and less spicy and more apple cider than red wine though dry: confident and somehow sexy scent of cinnamon mostly — not too sweet or sour so good balanced blend that kept my spirit up and feeling relatively energetic so it's voodoo magic may work... I got 10ml bottle of this from eBay and I can see myself using this on days when i need more confidence and energy that is not as sugary happy as Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo or too overpoweringly sexy as many other scents. This could become one of my "standard office scents"

imp: mulled bit sour wine wet: smells exactly like Scandinavian Christmas-time hot drink glög with cloves, cinnamon and whatever combo of spices makes that tasty drink that is poured hot over sweet raisins and almonds dry: wine fades a bit and cinnamon and sweet raisins come to the front — this is not so Christmasy anymore but more balanced and pretty scent that fits equally well in tropical heat than in Nordic late autumn evenings this is pretty long-lasting scent that keeps on morphing a bit with time and wine-notes seem to get back after some hours when sweetness fades in its turn to background. This is warm and spicy and happy scent and I am glad i got a bottle from eBay

The House of Mists, a land of icy fog, shadowy darkness and soul-chilling cold. Dark, damp blossoms winding through an impenetrable, murky gloom. ohh am I happy that i got 10ml bottle from eBay just because of the description even the reviews were less than enthusiastic. I am simply in love! in bottle: aquatic, herbal and crisp wet: more flowery and getting darker - quiet and bit sad landscape where white flowers have frozen in the icy mist dry: flowers are still there but getting more comforting than sad and herbal notes are getting back and merge with flowers into dark green background and instead of marshland this is morphing into more oceanic and regal landscape like fjords of Norway, which naturally fit the name and description perfectly. This is subtle and cool and hauntingly beautiful and reminds me of home far far away in the cold mists of North

imp: wood and bananas wet: bananas morph into more artificial on skin but dark green tropical trees is now strongest impression dry: plastic bananas calm down and overall impression remains green with some exotic wood and seabreeze at the bottom - there is faint flowery undertone too but it does not jump out but more merges with bananas into background sweetness. I can easily see this scent to describe lush tropical trees and banana plantations of Philippines with sunny seaside at the background. This is pretty but not memorable and it seems to disappear pretty fast
