My aunt likes sandalwood for a scent, so I'm going to get her something from here to try, but I'm just not sure what to get for a woman approaching her 60's since I'm in my early 20's. Help?

I'm just wondering.. since I ordered on the 7th, but my card hasn't been charged yet.. is it possible that my order somehow got lost in the CCNow craziness? I understand there have been a lot of transfer over to Paypal, but I ordered either right before it happened, or just unknowingly about the change. Or do you not get charged until it is ready to be shipped and I'm just being paranoid? Or should I email someone at BPAL, since this may be a real issue...?

Very feminine soft floral. Wonderful! Until my boyfriend moves in with me I'm afraid my duvet will be smelling like this. He'll just have to deal with it when he visits me. I love it and would buy a 4oz bottle if it was ever released.

Soft, masculine dryer sheets. I get very little cherry blossom from this scent. Nice, but not a favorite, it's just not my kind of sexy.

Lovely scent, very creamy, but as the previous two posters have noted it's more moisturizing than scrubby and can make things slippery. But as far as conditioning the feet it is fabulous, my skin is now very well moisturized and happy with me.

Does CCNow regularly save cookies of when you're browsing your order and send those to the company rather than the final order? I think that's what happened to me as the order I received looks more like my browsing order than my actual order. Oh well, back to Paypal for ordering I guess.

Soft sweet rose and cream. I didn't get a whole lot of honey but there was a nice dewy quality that I usually find in Rose Red. This is lovely and simple, she'll softly stay with you for a good length of time and she doesn't tend to bowl people over either. If you like this try: Love in the Asylum, Come to Me

That's from before my time but I remember seeing pictures of those little cuties. They'd already moved on to the current bottle types by the time I bought my first bottle. My first set of imps had those tags on them though.

First impressions: Green and herbal On the skin: Fennel, Coriander, Basil, Lemon.. this smells like a really nice drying rack of spices. Very soothing. I'm currently on my cycle and this smells absolutely lovely. I think I'll be reaching for this one once a month. I'm glad I bought a bottle, it's a great panacea. For those of you that don't feel ready to use a TAL, these are simple, great aromatherapy blends.

In Neil's words, 'It smells like green apples and like sex and vampires, all at the same time. (Actually, it smells like sexy vampire apples.)' In the bottle: very light, almost impossible to catch a good whiff of it. Once warmed in my clocket - Fresh, bright green apples with Beth's frost notes. It's not a clean iciness of some of Beth's blends, but it's crisp and pungent with a touch of cold violet. I had to take the clocket off because it was giving me a headache. Perhaps this would be better on the skin since I think I used too much in the clocket and it overwhelmed me. That and reading the story while wearing the scent creeped me out a little bit. Neil writes a good scary adult fairy-tale. Lovely and unique, not sure I'll be in the mood to wear this very often, but I'm holding on to the bottle for the times when I'm in the mood for sexy icy vampiric apples.

I like icy/cold blends. I've got Ice Queen perfume and Ice Prince bath oil and wow - L'Inverno is just lovely and balanced and awesome. I feel so complimented the goblins selected me to this particular set. Right now I'm wearing the perfume on it's own, but later I'm going to try combining the three to see just how decadent I can get. It is ice, and fruit and atmosphere. In this summer weather it is the perfect thing to wear. If you like anything that meets those descriptors - you must try and hunt down some of this. It is well worth it. 9/10 Why only a 9? I can only get this one bottle, which will make me sad when I use it all up.

I was retesting my Shunga decants and I tried this one and immediately hunted down a bottle. In the bottle it is heady sweet nectarine. On the drydown the skin musk comes out and the oakmoss grounds the blend. It's a very simple blend, it doesn't have any of the complexity that some of Beth's other blends have, but on my skin that is enough. My skin eats a bit of the nectarine so the scent is still a bit fruity but mostly a clinging muskiness. Very sexy and understated, perfect for the summer when the darker blends are too heavy.

A darkly colored oil. In fact I arranged my Grindhouse decants by color and Marianne was one of the darkest. I couldn't tell much from the imp, but once spread on the skin this scent reminded me strongly of Smut, and lesser Mme Moriarty (my bottle must not be properly aged yet). There was a brief dryout of some almost chemical note, but it was very short and very quickly forgotten, I predict it will disappear with age leaving a very smooth musk. This is one sexy blend. I'll be grabbing a bottle of Marianne (or two!) before the end of the Carnival. If you have any attraction at all to those dark musky scents I strongly recommend this one, you will not regret it.

I'm normally not a violet person, but when I applied this I was impressed by how soft and tempered the violet was. It's a very subtle blend, but also carries a nice chill from the mint. The sandalwood balances the blend perfectly. I'm glad I ordered the imp. This was all I wanted Numb to be but simply wasn't. I can't see myself reaching for this often as it's simply not as striking as some of my other blends but it's perfect to wear to work on warm days or like today hot and sweltering.

In bottle - Heady and strong florals. On the skin - Woah, strong and complex florals. Verdict - This could be wonderful if it wasn't such a hyper floral. I'm going to let it sit for a few months and think about itself, perhaps it will mellow out with age.

My last two BPAL orders that I did through Paypal didn't show up (sheer volume perhaps?) so I've had to email both times about it. I got my oils/a quick response from the Lab so it's no big deal, but keep those payment sent emails just in case.

Yeah, as if I had any ideas that Crowley would not be sexy? Musk, spice, and everything nice. Oh baby, I'd love this on my boyfriend, as much as I love it on myself. Anytime I really feel like letting loose and being musky this is what I turn to - and it's never failed, especially as it's aged since I bought my bottle. If you like dark, sexy scents - try this, you won't be failed in the least.

No blackberries, no catpee nothing off-putting at all. Add me to the list of people that are in love with Lady Una. I get honey'd perfumed fruits grounded by spice. I'll have to see what the boyfriend thinks, but I'm going to use up this entire bottle and if it's still around by then, I'll order another. I'm not normally a foody person but it's so tamed by the fruit that this is just perfect. This may be my new favorite summer scent.

The concept is lovely - but.. my skin eats this blend for breakfast and leaves me with a perky bubble-gum-esque scent. Not the sultry tropical flowers I was hoping for, too much fruit remains for me to love this, off to the sales! If you like this try: Pink Moon

I think Swan Maiden would be lovely to wear to a wedding.

I just got a bottle of this fresh from the lab and I had to slather it on - The red musk is too sharp and the plum is hiding behind the pachouli. I'm going to let this age since it has gotten such rave reviews when it has time to grow into itself so to speak. I get a snake-oil like vibe from this, it has lots of sexy potential. Edit: All the hype, it's true. A month later and I am already in love with this and it has become one of the scents I reach for when I want to smell sexy. I'll have to order 2 more bottles before the carnival leaves town.

Sharp, masculine and metallic. I normally wear more feminine scents so I can't see myself getting a lot of use out of this unless it mellows with age. I'll have to see if the boyfriend likes it enough to try it, as I think this would be awesome on a man.

I wear The Coiled Serpent when I do yoga at home, but I couldn't imagine wearing anything to the gym.

Pure light sweet blossoms. I'd love a bath oil that smelled like this, but I'll settle for the perfume. I love this scent, it is exactly what I wanted it to be, I'll be wearing this a lot during the springtime.

In the bottle the scent is a dark semi-sweet floral scent. Once applied I was disappointed because there wasn't very much sugar in the balance of the blend it seemed overwhelmed by the darker elements. It settled close to my skin and doesn't have much noticeable throw. The strawberry comes out to lighten the blend later but can't compete with the overall depth of the perfume. This blend is an understated sexy scent. Although this is a nice blend now, I'm curious to see what will happen to it once it has aged for a few months.
