This works, hello, and smells great, sort of a hippie floral, if that makes sense. Yeah, works though...

Well, impatient as usual, this is about 12 hours out of the mailbox, and when I first opened it I was like, bleech, why did I buy this? Oh yeah right, apricot, honey, yeah. But wet, aggressive, but it may grow on me, I certainly think it will as the dry down is spicy apricot very delicious and a little nose tickling...

Ah ha! So this is sandalwood... starts off sort of sour apple, almost like Glittering Apple of the Stars, then turns incensey, sandalwoody, very nice creamy...

This is a blissful, euphoric blend based on an ancient Indian love potion: honey, date palm, tuberose, davana blossom, amber, white sandalwood, vanilla bean, Damask rose, and champaca flower. whoops! Wrong imp...OK got my bottle yesterday and now I know what all the fuss is about. 2013 version. This is a very lush and creamy incense blend. At the top I smell something that I assume is dates, and the dry down is spicy and very much like Al Azif to me, however I feel like this is more feminine and a little less In Your Face. Love this. UM, Edit...did I say love this? I meant LOVE this. Really really love this. This is a beautiful classic incense, a true Nag Champa incense, gorgeous. I said no more back ups but this one is going to break the rules...

This is absolutely glorious...I can't wait to wear this one, it's a lovely sweet floral, reminds me not in actuality but in feeling of Leanan Sidhe, and it lasts forever. Oh no...the horror, the horror...I did not notice this the first day I tested it, but today I smelled that watery note others had talked about, there it was, bleech, just ruined it for me, all that jasmine loveliness, drowned. Fortunately my best BPAL pal loves those aquatic thingies, and now she has a new Luper...sigh...

If something was bad, trust me, you would know it. I use up bottles with glee and abandon, I have a pile of empties, but that said, I have stuff that is old old old, and still fine. Sometimes better. I don't really like imps except for testing. I like to pour right from the bottle with afore mentioned glee and abandon.

Eeep! Where have they been hiding this one! I got an imp of this and frantically went on a search through all the five zillion lab categories...all the time thinking, "if this is DCed I will just scream..." but no! There it is! Right next to Urd...and I would say in the same family as Urd, sweet, fruity, very forceful, almost stinky...love this...love it. It's heady and rich, but not overpowering. This shoots to the top for me.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous...I keep hearing Elvis Presley in my head, "and Marie's the name, of her latest flame..." More violet-y than The Raven, less vanilla, more of a pure floral. Love this. Ordering BB.

The Little Wooden Doll smelled like my cedar closet to me...

Just freaking vile. Truly truly hate leather, wtf did I order this??? Leather, leather and more leather. I do not want to bathe in fine furniture. Bleech. will be looking for lupers to soothe my shredded nerves...

Knave of Hearts has just what you describe, IMO, a very mouthwatering butteriness over a floral. I second Hollywood Babylon, but a warning, very Dragon's Blood, IMO. Also Kali, which has a wine note, and Obsidian Widow, with the same.

Whoa Ho! Lemons! Get me a bottle of this! Stat! I dunno how the sleep thing is going to go, will let you know tommorow....

I am a rose lover and therefore looked for the rose, but I found it honestly to be 80 percent chai tea, 20 percent rosewater, not rose.

Here's one that I just got, plan to wear it (along with Lionheart on my chakras), I like the scent of it, plus I like the intention, Martian Phoenix...

It's really perfect, I wore it last night. Also on me it's quite strong and does not disappear quickly, really nice.

You might really love Little Flora, meant to be peonies and cream, which is up on the Yules just till this month is over. It starts out with sweetness and goes to sweet strong floral.

Mrs Grose, which is now in the Yules till the end of the month is surely the truest Chai tea scent IMO. Get some quick!

Very sort of old timey, rosewater and spices. Reminds me a bit of Miss Lupescu in it's feeling. Very warm.

Amazing. Amazing. So juicy and red-fruity, love love love this. It's fresh but very rich. Love it.

Peonies and cream. Very mysterious this one, still trying to figure it out. When I first put it on it smells like the pastry note in Knave of Hearts, but then turns into flowers...weird, but I like it. Strong however, go easy...

Juicy Fruit gum = Lolita, for me...

High John the Conqueror. Nuff said.

Eeep. WTF is this! I really like this, and after reading the reviews, I am not surprised, I often like "boy" scents that make others go Blerrrrgh. This is sort of a more serious Urd to me. So very nice, but strong!! And thankfully I smell no wood, just wonderful resiny almost fruity, dusty goodness, very dark and a bit stinky, deep and rich...

I have wanted to love this for so long, but no. Just no. Thin. Plastic. Barbie head. No no no.

Vixen, Vixen, Vixen... Also Heroine, Dawn Mother and Priestess...
