I love this one. It's a perfect neutral Dead Leaves HG that I can wear with my BPAL Dead Leaves things.

Attention fans of Sugar Skull and Lemon Scented Sticky Bats. Buy this right away. It's glorious, with that same delicious lemon from those two.

The pumpkin stuff gives it great backbone, this is no wispy lemon scent. Gorgeous. Fresh. Winning.

Lately I have worn the heck out of :

Third Charm

Dead Leaves and Whatever

Feeding the Dead

Bruised Violet

Anesthesia for the win! It's the most amazing cooling mint and lavender. I absolutely have to have at least one and a backup at all times.

Strangely does not remind me of Boo, but is just glorious and last s for ten hours or more. So very winning

Ivory Vulva has a creamy coconut note to me.

Fae. Fairy Bites. Leanan Sidhe. and also Fae. Fae for the win...

Here's one Elmwood Cemetery. It is very lush, sharp green. Beautiful and evocative, all green to me no dirt.

The most greenhouse, or florist shop to me is Dawn, Mourning Victory, which does not smell like a typical floral to me, but more like that smell you get when you open a florist's fridge. To me, that could be greenhouse.

Joyleaf Tombeur is still available on the Lab's site I believe. IMO it is a stellar BPAL blend, truly one of the best.

Blood Rose, Dawn Mother, Sherezade,Tombeur, Anactoria. Just off the top of my head.

Well I never reviewed this, but as I am about to finish my bottle, I have to chime in to say how much I loved this one. The berry note for me is very strong, and the old house vibe is also. So sad to see it go.

This may sound odd, and it may be just me (so hopefully others will chime in if they don't agree, as it really could have been my skin chemistry) but Pecan Pie, from Black Phoenix Trading Post's Great Pie debate, was pretty much clove single note on me. I tried the perfume, bath oil, and hair gloss - all clove, all the time. It made no sense to me, so I literally got cloves out of my spice cabinet to compare, and I was not crazy, what I was smelling was cloves. Just a thought!

Jeez if I had known that I would have snagged some!

Well, at first when I sniffed this bottle I thought, Blergh. This is sort of not good. A few weeks later however I am glad to report that this has become a lovely fresh strawberry scent, with the wine giving it backbone without making it too boozy. I don't get too much flower, just a bit. It's lovely and smells much more like real strawberry than candy or strawberry scent. Also it lasts forever.

You can look forward to Clemence from The Carnival, it's still in the Act to come, and the clove is very prominent.

Ooh this is so pretty! And sort of dusty, I think that must be the oakmoss. I can definitely pick out the copal, copal always smells a little metallic to me. Very unisex, I could wear it but it totally smells like a gorgeous men's fragrance.

This one is a winner!

This is a very lush violet scent, darker for me than say Marie or Brusque Violet.

I could totally see this as a lovely soft go to sleep scent.

This is really really pretty stuff. Flowery, deep, lovely. Also a green note that is very forest like.

Velvet

Antimony V9

Kit

Al Azif

Lyonesse is gorgeous. I always need to age it though, IMO it's not as good fresh, needs at least six months to really get that chewy heady thing going on.

I don't find Eat Me cloying. You might like Love's Philosophy which is a Luper limited edition out right now. One man's cloying is another mans perfect so it's hard to say if you will find it to be so.

Why hello!

There are many non shady BPALs LOL.

I would recommend Alice, Dorian, Leanan Sidhe, Whitechapel and The Head (very flowery) from the new Lupers.

You can always start by just reading reviews and seeing if you get a feel for anything. Then order some imps and see what you like.

I got a chance to sample this and wow it's just glorious. I get mostly the lemony citrus which smells almost limey to me. Best citrus since Whitechapel IMO.

Just get it, or you will be sorry you didn't everytime you look at your dwindling bottle, like I do with Honeyed Frankincense.

Strawberry Sufganiyot is pretty awesome, but Kertasníkir is just amazing.

Strawberry Moon. Gah.

Bon Vivant, agreed about the fresh thing. Aged it's a little ???

This is so beautiful, orangey and a lovely complex patchouli scent. It lasts forever. need it.
