    Stardust

    Hairspray, hyacinth and booze... It took a while for this scent to grow on me, but it's now my perfect party scent, enough to leave an impression but still remain mysterious to those around me. I'm so happy for Bowie inspired scents.

    The Perfumed Garden

    This was so promising, the apple peel might have been able to tame the myrrh, but my skin pumped that dreaded note up so much the poor apple was lost in the process. I sold my bottle, it just didn't work on me the way I wanted it to.

    Dia de los Muertos

    Smoky, dark and floral all at the same time. This 05 version reminds me a lot of Samhain 04, without the strong apple notes. Yummy. I may order this if it comes around in 06.

    Budding Moon

    This is a sweet spring floral blend. It's very bright and attention getting. If I'm in the right mood this is heavenly, the blossoms are rich and plentiful.

    Quietude

    Lime and lavender, I could smell this all day long, got this imp as part of a swap. This is one for the oil-burner after a busy day at work or school. The same strong lavender in the somnium blends is present here. Very pretty.

    Strength

    Sunny and bright, light and aquatic and yet crystaline too. If you find yourself leaning toward light aquatic scents, you definetly should order a bottle of this.

    Embalming Fluid

    I adore this scent, it's light and sweet and heavenly. I really should buy a bottle of this, it's too nice not to have in my collection once I run out of this imp.

    Persephone

    This was one of the first scents I ordered, and it was rich, sweet both floral and fruity. I'll finish off my imp, but it's not a big enough favorite to become a bottle.

    Nuit

    Nuit sounds like a winner, from the jasmine to the moonflower.. but as much as I genuinely like this scent, it falls a bit short of expectation for me. It's soft and understated and perfect for a dressed up night out with my bf, unfortunately its too subtle for him. 7/10

    Marquise de Merteuil

    Pure peach and soft musk. She's lovely, but not as cruel and twisted as she is made out to be. I always wondered what the soft heart or the youthful Marquise would be like, I think this is it, scheming, but not to hurt anyone. This is her surrendered dream of herself and Valmont, and kind of sad for that reason.

    Jezebel

    This is a lovely second-skin scent, Jezebel loves her citrus and roses, and they love her back for it. This was one of the few really feminine scents that I adore. It's just that good.

    Velvet

    Chocolate and something dark and rich, must be the myrrh. Suprisingly this scent doesn't last long on me considering how nice it wears. While Bliss is brownie batter, this is walking into a room scented with dark chocolate and spices, yum.

    Rapture

    The roses and jasmine tame the myrrh in this blend, making it sweet and rich and everybody should try this blend. It's just plain sexy. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have as much effect on my bf as it does on me.

    Sed Non Satiata

    Unfortunately this was one of the few dark musk and floral blends that did not work out for me. It was just too dark to work with my skin chemistry. I'm fairly sure that it's the myrrh that hates me so much, it hated me in The Perfumed Garden too.

    Suspiro

    This scent embodies the feeling when you are cuddled up to your lover, gently stroking and teasing eachother, the slow building passion and desire. I really like this blend, it is sultry florals, yet without the heaviness that some of them bring. It is very pretty and warm.

    Somnus

    This is a very effective blend, it just works, even if I had a stressful midterm the next day this scent managed to calm me and get me sleeping so I could be prepared. If I ever turn into an insomniac I'm getting a 5ml of this post-haste.

    Nanshe

    I keep my sleep blends by the bedside for whenever I have trouble sleeping. Nashe is lavender and lemongrass as the top notes, of the few somnium blends I've tried this one is perky and encorages you to keep aware as you sleep. I haven't seen any changes or remembered my dreams any better, but I do sleep well with this scent slathered on.

    The Dormouse

    A dizzying eddy of four teas brushed with light herbs and a breath of peony. A mix of teas and very light florals. This is a dreamy blend that's at once fresh and soothing, I wish I knew how to scent dryer sheets, I'd have my laundry smell like this every single day. It has almost no lasting power on me, but I wish it did.

    Juliet

    Sweet innocence, the fresh bloom of womanhood and love. This is a lovely scent for anyone who doesn't quite feel comfortable with the dark sandalwoods and resins. I carried this one in my backpack for days that I forgot to put on perfume before I left, the label still carries pencil marks. This one goes on the short list, once I start using up my other 5mls.

    Danube

    I wish my garden smelled this good after a fresh rain. Strong florals made 'wet' with aquatic overtones. This scent is refreshing and clean without being soapy or overpowering. This was a frimp and I've swapped for a bottle for a friend, I'll be enjoying my imp though, you can be sure of that.

    R'lyeh

    Spicy aquatics, I'm not entirely certain if I like this scent. I'm a fan of the traditional aquatics such as WoND, and this one evokes a peaceful lake, with something insidious lurking underneath. In this way it may have correctly recalled its literary origins.

    Moscow

    Florals and citrus, this scent is one of the few that I honestly wish I naturally smelled like. It's womanly and glorious. It's a traditional perfume scent to incontroveribly addict anyone who might still be holding onto their diluted designer blends. I'm tempted to share this one with all my friends, it's just that lovely.

    June Gloom 2004

    Very strong lemon, it's the single dominating scent in the entire collection, and I love it. This was the first BPAL bottle I ever bought and I'm so happy I did. Eventually the florals peek their heads out from under the rush of lemon. Lovely and not gloomy at all.

    Cold Moon

    Cold Moon is Ice Queen's timid little sister. It's chilling and sweet, without the haughty feeling I get from Ice Queen. Cucumber, mint and that wonderful scent that makes it seem cold, I'm so glad I bought a bottle of this.

    Pink Moon 2005

    I haven't reviewed this yet? Pink Moon is a sugary heaven, the florals are uplifting and support the pure brightness of this scent. If I'm desperate for some joy I always wear this. It is uplifting in scent in a nearly tangible fashion. Of all the lunacies this might be my favorite.
