I bought this one because I had gotten an imp of Inferno, and while I liked it, I was lusting after the almond note that was lurking underneath. I was delighted to find the reverse in Eclipse. This is a warm, spicy almond on me, and it blends fabulously with my skin chemistry. It layers wonderfully over Kabuki.

A play of geological darkness and jagged brilliance. Soft and luminescent with flashes of black fire. This is a soft, sweet scent with the predominate note smelling something like a vanilla/coconut, with something smooth that eludes me under that. This is a skin scent on me, inviting others to come in closer for a sniff!

Spicy cherry goodness. Slightly like Dr. Pepper in smell. But I love it. I need more bottles of this!

I am uncertain what year my bottle is, but it is the reason I haven't bought a bottle of Samhain, because this is the perfect autumn scent for me! I work for the renaissance festival in my state, and it rolls over right to the local Halloween festival where many of my fellow actors participate with me. This scent reminds me of the late nights sitting around the bonfires passing a flask of whiskey around hearing the screams of the paytrons in the distance with the scent of woodsmoke and falling leaves in the cold air. Some of my best memories are of those nights. This scent takes me there when I am feeling nostalgic for those times. Love! Edit: I was wearing gypsy moth today and realized the vanilla bourbon in it smells similar to the 'boozy sweetness' in DN!

This one I am on the fence on. In the bottle I definately get the watermelon jolly ranchers smell, similar to Midwinters Eve, which I love, but on my skin the Tiare takes over and everything else gets pushed to the background. My skin amps floral all to hell, so I don't see myself wearing this very often. Best saved for summer for formal events.

Lusty and luxuriant definately describes this! Juicy and very red. I can absolutely pick up the wine and currants in this, with the amaretto bringing a sweetness to it- not a sugary sweet, more of a softer glazy sweet if that makes sense. Yummy. I wore this out to a 'Twilight' movie event and one of the actors spent the better part of the night with his face in my neck saying how good I smelled. If that's not a screaming advertisement for its sex appeal I don't know what is! A winner!

This is chocolates big sister out boozing it for the night and comes home with a hickey on her neck and her undies balled in her pocket. This is SEXY chocolate. The whiskey and cognac warm it up making it slightly spicy, while the deep chocolate grounds it. However, this is a night scent. I could never wear it to work. I do hope Beth brings this back.

This is my first review, so bear with me on this.... This is hands down my favorite BPAL scent, I am a cherry freak so this is right up my ally. Fresh out of the bottle I get sweet Marachino cherries with almond extract, and something vaugely spicy which I am guessing is the saffron. On my skin it warms up, and the saffron comes out, along with the coconut. The cherry is still present, but moves to the background more as an accent rather then the primary. This makes me feel like I am wrapped in a fuzzy pink blanket, soft and warm. Instant love. If anyone wants to unload their bottles, send em my direction, I will be happy to give them a home!
