This is PURE SUNOMONO!!! Japanese cucumber salad!! Lots of fresh gorgeous cucumber, and vinegar. It's damned edible!! I put it on my husband and it's SO gorgeous there. It lasts for quite a long time.

 

 

After about 3 hours it does turn to a very faint spiced violet. I really love this.

I was delirious over some of the reviews of this perfume, so I tried it.

 

It was lovely in the bottle, very floral and dark and heady, with a background of mustiness.

 

On, it because the smell of plant matter LITERALLY rotting on my skin. It had to be washed off. Twilight + My Skin = bad, very bad.

 

ADDED Jan. 12:

 

Wet: Soapy floral with lots of stem notes.

 

Dry: a light sweet floral with lots of jasmine. A tad soapy, but pretty. I'll go along with this being a yellow floral, not a white. It's fresh but maybe too sweet for non floral lovers. has the barest hint of stem.

Morgause is one of my Top Ten, and for me gets a 10 on scale of 1 - 10. This is a sophisticated floral, with a hint of muskiness, but just a hint. Never bitter, never too sweet, it's very dignified and sophisticated and gorgeous.

 

I get a medium strength floral that does not morph upon drydown, with a lot of restrained jasmine. It's gorgeous, and I would wear it anywhere.

I'm pretty sure this is a well-loved scent, but I am going to have to be a dissenter.

 

Blood Kiss to me, is way too sweet. I got very little from it other than a ton of sugar poured into a vat of Dragonsblood. Well, not everyone can love every scent.

Oh JACK my LOVE!! I knew immediately upon smelling this scent that I would NEED it alot during Fall and Winter, so I set it aside. When I saw the Pumpkin Patch 2005 set, I thought of Jack and knew I needed some of that, NOW!!

 

Jack smells warm and golden and light, like, as said by others, pumpkin bread, with honey and walnuts, but the pumkin bread is inside a house, while you are outside of it in the night, looking at its glowing windows and smelling the sweetness on the air.

 

I get no change after dry down. Beautiful stuff, this.

This imp was a gift, and another one of my Imps of Sadness.

 

In the bottle this was such a dark, glorious blend of sweetness and mysterious musks and gentle natural coconut. I was head over heels!!

 

Unfortunately on, it dried down to a musky bitter smell with no coconut and little resemblance to its bottle smell.

For me, Bewitched smelled much like Blood Kiss. Lots of sweet smells, to the point of cloying. Lots of berry, lots of foody sweetness, and way too much of it. I love sweet foody smells, unfortunately I found this over the top in some way, perhaps the berry was a bit too cough syrupy for me.

For me this was just a dry overly wood smell. It was nice and green in the bottle, but after dry it was simply a one dimensional wood.

Well, Mata Hari was an Imp of Great Sadness for me. In the bottle this scent is MAGNIFICENT! I have to agree with people who said this perfume was a work of inspired genius. The coffee and the flowers are so perfectly in tune, and original, it is unbelieveable.

During dry down, it's still a work of art. I was sad when I lost the coffee, but it was still a beautiful complex dark floral. But then came the bitterness, until the was such a strong overlying bitter smell I had to wash this off.

Too bad.

Okay, I just placed an order but used CCNow before I saw the "Do PayPal" orders via email".

 

What do I do now to fix this?

I was more than a little surprised by Honey Single Note, because it didn't smell a bit like Honey.

 

It kinda smelled like Honey Mead, which is to say it smelled like booze. It was very sharp and more like the fragrance oil idea of something influenced by Honey...

 

I didn't like it, was expecting a true to life honey scent like sniffing a jar of honey. Many people get many things from BPAL, for me this wasn't honey, sadly.

This is probably the first BPAL oil I fell truly in love with.

 

My nose finds this to smell like many things simultaenously, I smell about 5 million flowers, all crammed inside a bottle (I smell no rose in this, not saying it isn't there, I am not looking at the oil list, just that I don't smell any). But despite this I don't entirely think this is a "floral" fragrance like I define one. there is a fruity smell, and a candy vanilla-like sweet smell too, which is maybe the lunar oils, because I smell the same powdery sweet scent in Strawberry Moon.

 

In vial: flowers, fruit and candy.

 

On, flowers and a fruity candy background that is not so strong I feel like I am wearing a kid's perfume.

 

This is perfectly lovely.

I will have to be counted among those who find Strawberry Moon a candy scent rather than a fresh berry. Which makes me sad, I was hoping to get more of a real strawberry fresh from the bush smell.

 

In the bottle: booze, hint of cream, more of a fresh real strawberry smell than the candy I got out of the bottle.

 

Dry-Down: Strawberry candy smell, that sweet, powdery hard candy scent, with a little sweet cream.

 

After 15 minutes or so, no change from dry-down. I would wear this on a rare hot summer day I feel kidlike and playful.
