    Berry Moon 2011

    BERRY MOON In August, the large masses of berries, which, when in flower, had attracted many wild bees, gradually assumed their bright velvety crimson hue, and by their weight again bent down and broke their tender limbs. -- Henry David Thoreau A sensuous, deep berry bouquet: blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries with Morello cherries, apricots, and strawberries, swirled in heady red musk and brandy. Yay!! I get to be first! I just got this in my mail and couldn't wait to try it! I'm not very good at picking out notes but here goes . . . Out of the bottle - I smell something sweet, that reminds me a little of vanilla, although there's no vanilla listed in the notes. Maybe it's the cherries? On the skin - The musk is beautiful and is coming around nicely. This is drying down beautifully, it doesn't seem to be too strong on my skin. The brandy is not strong at all, it almost reminds me more of a "wine like" scent. It is musky and a little bit sweet, and I think it's perfect! I think it's very well blended and is going to be a favorite of mine I'll come back later if the scent changes much over time.

    Black Butterfly Moon

    I wish I had bought a backup bottle of this, I do so love it very much (2013 version). On me it smells like a wonderful, sexy, dark and expensive perfume. Fabulous !!!!!

    The Passionate Shepherd To His Love

    Throw out your arms, close your eyes and fall backward into a field filled with sunwarmed clover. Pure heaven and wonderfully nostalgic.

    Annurca Apple Blossom

    I don't know what to say except that I LOVE THIS SCENT. I am so glad I have a bottle! To me this is right up there with The Silver Apple of the Moon. Love, love, love. *sigh* And I think I'm going to put some on now

    Ameles Potamos

    I got this as a frimp from a lovely forumite. What a beautiful, fresh scent! Definitely reminds me of gently blowing breezes on the ocean shore. I may have to buy a bottle of this one!

    Ceanothus Silkmoth

    I get the blood orange mostly, I find this to be soft and really lovely. I may need to buy a back up bottle!!

    Wake

    Oh My God. I think you may have saved my life. The notes in Wake are frequently recommended by aromatherapists for "uplifting", and are good for depression. I have been happy and "uplifted" all week, thanks to Wake. I love, Love, LOVE this stuff!!! A genius blend!!!

    Pink Moon 2012

    I am very sad because I REALLY wanted to love this. The mix of florals sounded so seductive to me, but alas in the bottle all I smelled was the chocolate. And for a long time, all I smelled was chocolate. After a while though, the chocolate faded, and then I found soft florals. Nothing remarkable to me though. I had bought two bottles, and thankfully I have already sold them both. Too much chocolate.

    The Sorrow of Love

    I am no good at picking out notes, I just want to say that I really like this a lot!! Beautiful floral!

    Midwinter's Eve

    Wow, I definitely don't find this a melancholy scent. I got the 2011 version this week, and it's very fruity, very plummy. After about an hour, it starts to soften up, and it's just a tiny bit more floral. But it is mostly fruity. Very nice.

    The Silver Apple Of The Moon

    I got mine today and it was the first scent I tried. I am thrilled, I love the sweetness of it. I really thought I'd prefer Glittering Apple, but Silver Apple is now one of my favorites. Gonna have to spring for a bottle of this stuff!

    Le Revenant

    Normally I love sweet florals, but I think this one is a little too sweet even for me . . . on me it is mostly gardenia, I don't smell much of anything else. Edit - After an hour or so, this because really nice! Was no where as strong and sweet as it was when first applied. More of the musk came out, I really liked it!

    Hygeia

    If this is what red musk smells like, then I guess I don't like red musk. I'm glad I only got a decant of this, I don't care for it at all. But then again, I do prefer sweet florals . . .

    Donna con Ventaglio

    This is the first "darker" fragrance that I've truly liked. It's warm and a little bit sweet, and I find it to be incredibly sexy. I only bought a decant, and I got the empty bottle, which I'm really happy about, because the art is gorgeous. I just may have to buy another bottle of this ETA: The more I wear DvC, the more I love it! I had to buy a full bottle, I've already blown through my decant, and had to have more. Love, love, love it!!

    Luna Negra: Ted's Creation

    I really wanted to like this but . . . . I am no good at picking out notes, so I can't really say what it is that I don't care for. This will be going up for sale.

    Peony Moon

    Just got my bottle from a forumite here. It is a beautiful, pink floral that smells absolutely awesome!! Fresh peonies! Now I can have this fragrance all year long!

    White Moon

    I was fortunate enough to win an auction of White Moon from the lab on eBay just recently. Oh joy, it arrived today, and I LOVE it! Heavenly, beautiful white flowers, mostly gardenia to my nose, but I can also smell what I think is lilac. I am SO happy I won this auction, this will definitely be one of my most cherished fragrances!

    Lilium Inter Spinas

    I just wanted to say that I'm not good at identifying individual notes in a fragrance. But whatever I am smelling, I absolutely love it. To me this is a beautiful, ultra feminine fragrance, and it has become one of my favorites from BPAL.. I'm definitely getting a bottle of this with my next order.

    Lorelei

    This is from my very first BPAL order. I love Ylang ylang, and I was so happy to find this! To me it's truly lovely, and I plan on buying a 5ml bottle just as soon as I possibly can. I know my imps are going to disappear very quickly! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this scent!!

    The Hesperides

    The first thing I also smell out of the imp is Wintergreen. I thought I had gotten a bad batch or something. But the wintergreen is fading, and I'm not sure what I smell to be truthful. But first smell from the imp, I thought it was toothpaste too.

    Weeping Branches Moon

    This was my very first BPAL purchase, and I'm so glad I took the chance and bought this! I love this scent, to me it's very fruity to begin with, then blending into a fruity/floral bouquet. I like it so much I'm buying another bottle from a seller here. AND it's got me on the hunt for other "Moon" scents on eBay I am very very happy with this!
