Finding BPAL blends similar to Dior perfumes....
lookingglass replied to Cegirls's topic in Recommendations
Maybe you would like Bewitched or Sed Non Satia... -
White flowers and cherry. It reminds me a bit of Eve. It is a clean, strong floral. I don't see myself wearing it often, but it will remian in my Mad Tea Party collection.

Snake Oil Help! Layering it, Snake Pit scents, blends with Snake Oil
lookingglass replied to spaceprostitute's topic in Recommendations
Oh, and when I first tried Chimera, I thought it had a similar "undersmell"... I don't any more, though...but they are still 2 of my favorites! -
Pontarlier!

This scent is really throwing me off. Lots of opium and ginger in the bottle, but once I put it on it throws a fakey fruity sweetness. I guess it is fitting, seeing as how this character is a psychiatric Dr.! Dried out the tonka and smoke note is quite creamy and beautiful but I don't think he and I are a good fit.

I love white roses. They are such a delicate, light, alive scent. Here is no exception. It is light and floaty. The resins complement beautifully, and ground it to my wrist. Even DH, who does not care for florals, commented that I smelled beautiful, as he climbed in bed next to me.

Ga-reeeenn, green, green! Even the lavender smells green while wet. Drying down, the green thankfully tones down, and Beth's beautiful lilac emerges (as I love so dearly in Dragon's Eye). The sugar is close behind, candy coating everything, including the tiny bitter lick of absinthe. Not too sour on me, which is very suprising. I'll be holding onto this one for summer, when I want that nice clean feeling.

Snake Oil Help! Layering it, Snake Pit scents, blends with Snake Oil
lookingglass replied to spaceprostitute's topic in Recommendations
DEFINATELY Mme Moriarty! IMHO think that Blood Kiss is closer than Blood Lust for that vibe. To add to your list, I think that Eat Me and Black Phoenix also have that thick richness that Snake Oil has. Not that they smell ALIKE... not at all...they just have the same vibe to me. Check out dragon's blood as a note as well...sweet and deep...mmm...You never know what you will like with it! -
Leeeemonyyy! I really have to get off of this one and let it mellow out. Comming back to it a few minutes later: The heliotrope and coconut are letting the lemon get creamy and sweet. There is a deep smoke wafting up behind it. It turns into a slightly musky floral, but there is still a lemon freshness and dust all around. Very strange. I was hopeing for more tuberose, but alas!

Lyoneese! I think I have posted 10 times about it today...but I love it! A vanilla aquatic that loves me. It just may love you, too!
-
Neroli...bright green and orange. There is a bitter, grapefruity bite as well. Drying out, it warms up to my skin, becomming ambery...there may be frankinsence in there. Definately a sun god scent.

This is like the lovechild of Skuld, Blood Kiss, Kali and Brides of Dracula on me. The honey is predominant, with the grapes and light floral close behind. I generally fear grape scents, but this is not at all the grape-kool-aid/lollipop/artificial. It's tangy sweet and dense. The earthy tonka/musk accord grounds it all and remains rich through the drydown. I was hoping this would be stronger on the base notes (there are a lot listed), but it fades quickly.

Lemony herbal wet, this dries out quite ambery. I won't wear it as perfume but for its intent and purpose.
-
Creamy sweet dragon's blood, made a little sharp and dirty by the vertiver, and spiced up. Together, it is quite surprisingly...leathery. It dries out strangely floral, yet not entirely feminine...a bit powdery. Someone said this would be Snape's scent. I have to agree...

Sacred Whore

Wet this is very currant cake, quite like Eat Me. Then it gets veeeerrrry woody on me, and I get a little scared. I want incense! Dried out, it is all there and one of my new favorites: not too sweet, not too dry.

I am going to a superbly sophisticated black and white theamed costume party tonight and am going as a French vampire. I cannot decide on Blood Kiss, Blood Lust, Brides of Dracula, or the Count himself! Already thinking of NEXT year though...the Misfortune Teller! I will have to stock up.

Peach, Peach Blossom, Apricot, Nectarines
lookingglass replied to quimerula's topic in Recommendations
Fae is my favorite peach. It is complex, fresh and musky and not too peachey. -
I'd reccomend Hecate.
-
Ah, Morocco, too is musky and quite exotic while still being light.
-
Antique Lace if you want it sweet and creamy...
