    Go to Sleep, Darlings

    Snow White's younger sister. Fresh on my wrists, it is almost too cute/young a scent, but I love how it smells after an hour or so of wear. Very subtle, bit powdery, delicate scent. By the way, I do not get any mint or almond as some of the others did I guess it's all down to skin chemistry!

    The Dormouse

    To me this is Karme with a bit of musk. I prefer Karme :x

    Pears - different BPAL pear scents

    I love pear and tried Titania but I didn't get ANY pear there On me it was just a relatively boring, very childlike scent

    We Need Your Lupercalia 2012 Recs! BPAL and BPTP

    I think I love all the scents I ordered decants of - The Vine: juicy pear with a strong honey note - Lady in Pink Speckled Kimono: subtle pink floral with a musky dry-down - An Omen of Good Fortune: very special interesting blend, a strong fresh juicy note and a smoky undertone - Water Dragon: very well blendend, aquatic, soft floral, hint of musk

    The Vine

    In the bottle it smells like delicious frosty juicy pears. Fresh on the skin it smells like one of my favourite teas "Perfectly White Pear" by Celestial Seasonings, with a dollop of honey. On dry-down the honey becomes more prominent. I like this scent lot, but would have preferred the honey note to be a bit less prominent.

    An Omen of Good Fortune

    I agree that this is a very unique blend. On me it is very fresh smelling but with a woody smoky note on top. I am not 100% sure this is for me because of the smoky note. It is a very interesting combination however. The fresh note is very "crisp" and "juicy".

    Water Dragon

    On me this is an aquatic fresh scent with a slightly musky undertone. Not heady, no strong citrus, the florals are there but not at all overpowering. Pleasant scent.

    Shanghai

    LOVE this Gentle creamy tea scent with refreshing citrus in the foreground. My favourite "fresh" BPAL scent so far. I *love* citrussy blends but unfortunately they fade very quickly on me. Slathering it is

    Zombi

    Smells like a bunch of roses in a vase that has been standing around for too long. A gentle rose scent combined with the smell of rotting flowers.

    White Rabbit

    On me, the citrus and tea are nowhere to be sniffed. What remains is a mild (milky), yet spicy (ginger) and warm scent. Which is not my "cup of tea", unfortunately. I prefer Shanghai and Baobhan Sith for freshness and Dorian for sweetness.

    Envy

    Very green and sharp. Like it so far Reminiscent of spring flowers (that grow from bulbs)! I cannot pick out individual notes like mint and lavender. Definitely a keeper!

    Pink Snowballs

    I am new to BPAL and my first love was Snow White. I obtained a decant (2011 version) of Pink Snowballs recently and have to say I looooove it It does remind me of Snow White but is a little more subtle (less sweet) and has roses on top. The rose note quickly fades to a soft hint of rose. It has low throw on me, but that is fine, I am not always in the mood for in-your-face kind of perfume. I think I will have to find a bottle of this one...

    Karmê (Κάρμη)

    I LOVE this Thanks again to Oceandreamer001 for frimping me this one The drydown is the same as the opening scent only softer. To me, this smells very fresh and juicy, like fruit but less sweet or tart (depending on the fruit). It is a non-sweet version of what I EXPECTED Titania to smell like, if that makes sense (Half an hour after applying it smelled a bit more herby and just a little bit soapy, but it quickly morphed into a soft fresh scent.)
  15. I was just wondering whether Lemon-Scented Sticky Bat smells anything like Lush Lip Dip lip scrub? I love the latter, only I don´t usually use lip scrubs. But the scent...yum!

    Titania

    Based on the description, I thought I would really like this one. I love the scent of grapes and pear, and generally like "light" perfumes. However, on me it only smells of rose musk. I find this a very childlike scent. Not a keeper.

    Snow White

    Snow White 2011 on me is sweet almond and vanilla

    Beautiful and Adored

    I like this one a lot, much more than I had expected. Words that come to mind: delicately sweet, blossoms, English, gentle. This is what commercial perfumes SHOULD have smelled like. It has a hint of rose, but to me it is not a sharp or dominant rose. Very balanced scent, well done.

    Yellow Snowballs

    When just applied to the skin: fresh, heady, christmassy 10 mins later: musky, bit masculine, where did the citrus go?, sweet couple of hours later: softly sweet, musky I had hoped for a bit more freshness :/
