Many of these have already been said, but WILF, The Bow and Crown of Conquest, Half Elf, and Raven Moon are my choices. All of these garner attention from me when my hubby wears them. It's a joke between us that if given the chose, I choose WILF. A bit cliche sounding, but it works for us.

In the bottle, this is crisp, damp, wintery forest. It's smell is pungent and strong in the bottle, not bad pungent, just not shy! Wet on skin, exactly what I smelled in the bottle...and I like it. I don't get any leather. This is sweet on me, like strong fir tree lightly sprinkled with sugar. When dry, the fir/forest aspect has gotten more mellow. It's not pungent forest any more, it's mild woody, smoky, sweet scent. I sort of miss the pungent tree scent that occurs at the beginning. This is really nice, and I can see myself wearing this in Fall or Winter on the weekends when I spend lots of time outside with my little ones.

This was my very first bpal scent, and it is still my favorite. A smooth and luscious blend, when I apply it, I can smell it all day. It' s not a heavy scent, it's just THAT pleasing and noticeable to me I suppose. It makes me feel beautiful and comfortable. I can smell a certain spiciness, but it's kept under control by the sweeter notes underneath it. I am always looking for scents that capture the similar feel that Morocco gives off. I don' t smell vanilla, exactly, but some sweetly spiced thing mixed with sandalwood and musk.

I had to choose Snake Oil as my first review, it just seemed appropriate. This is a dark oil that is on the thick side. Imp-When I first sniffed it from the imp months ago, it seemed WAY too strong and wrong. Never let the first sniff discourage you! Wet-Still very strong, but now it's amazing. I don't know what happened, but I went from baffled at the smell to amazed when I applied it to my arm. It needs the dry down stage so that I won't knock others over with my scent. Dry-It's so freaking lovely in an earthy, sweet way. I am a fan of sweet and spicy scents and this fits both of those to a T. It's not an overly foody scent to me, just a perfectly blended balance-exotically spiced sugared vanilla. Though I do get the slight dough note if I inhale deeply enough (lol) I have seen others review of, it doesn't bother me Verdict-Beautiful and comforting in the sexiest possible way. I got my bottle about 5 months ago, and I haven't really noticed a difference between when I first got it and now...other than getting over the initial smell in the imp vs. on my skin. I love it.
