    Mother Shub's Cthulhustollen

    This reminds me strongly of the wonderful unreleased 2007 BPAL Fruitcake, with rum in place of the brandy. Candied fruits and marzipan with a sweet boozy undercurrent. Yummy!

    Scent Recs based on your PERSONALITY!

    Merry Carousel, I'm thinking Cheshire Cat for you.

    Cardamom

    Mama-Ji is a nice one. The Arabian Dance and Spanked/Spanked Revisited are also heavy on the cardamom.

    Fresh Summery Flowery

    I'd say take a look at Juliet, Viola, Ophelia and Cordelia and see which of these appeals most.

    BPAL's mango note

    I'm in love with BPAL's mango note. Where is it strongest / most prominent?

    @rawpotential, your self-description made me think of Spider for some reason. See what you think: http://www.bpal.org/topic/30857-spider/

    Wine, Beer, Rum, Bourbon... the booze scents

    Madrid has a strong red wine element.

    What should I expect at Will-Call?

    How do regional Will Calls get started? Is there some way we could go about getting one in the Midwest?
  10. Vampire Bride has given me chills more than once.

    TAL Scent Recommendations/Comparing TAL Scents to BPAL

    I received a decant of this rare TAL, and I love the scent so much that I'm looking for a non-ritual equivalent. To me the predominant note is a true mango, not too sweet but very aromatic. Reviews have described notes as: Mango Tropical rose Ocean Bitter fruit juices Musky Creamy tropical florals Fermented Incense Candle-wax Anything in the BPAL catalog that comes close?

    Moonflower

    Moon Rose is rose and moonflower.

    Black Opal and other stone, mineral type scents

    Dwarf has a nice stone note - reminds me of the Rocky Mountains.

    Performance

    Sounds delicious and apt! I'm doing a singer-songwriter tonight too, and think I'll wear Leather Phoenix. And zmulls, a good friend of mine plays with Michael Ronstadt periodically -- small world!

    Springtime scents

    Sea of Glass, Lady Lilith and Agape for me.

    Pears - different BPAL pear scents

    Definitely try Titania, with its lovely iced pear note.

    Blossoms in Springtime

    It reminds me strongly of Monsterbait: Underpants. Pretty much stays foodie like that on my skin, too. I don't get as much copal or beeswax as I'd hoped -- perhaps they blend in with all the sweet vanilla. I like it, but don't love it.

    The Ultimate Raspberry!

    I heartily second the Hollywood Babylon recommendation.

    The Doom of Beauty

    Opulent and fresh at the same time. The Hungary Water is spot-on, and the floral notes are so delicate and romantic. I love it, and only wish it laster longer on my skin.

    Quirkiest, most bizarre oils

    Has no one mentioned Gore Shock?

    Scent for Halloween?

    Smut '06 with a chaser of Hymn to Pan and Catalyst.

    Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

    I recommend trying the honeys from Rappaccini's garden, particularly Horse Chestnut Honey.

    Scent for Halloween?

    I'm wearing Midnight Mass and will probably go with Thousands of Lights later.

    Yellow Snowballs

    Bright, chilly and yellow. This reminds me of the Jean Nate' splash I used to use at my great-aunt's house. It's got that bracing quality I bet would be great in summer. The yuzu is strong on the aromatic peel, mixing with what smells like pine and a bit of eucalyptus for a high-pitched topnote. It's almost too much at first but it does calm down eventually and get more lemon-candyish. The drydown is more fruity and less piney, and seems to have the same lightly musky vanilla that's in Pink Snowballs. Definitely an outgoing scent that makes a statement.

    Yules?

    My favorites so far are A Blot Upon The Earth (dark, resinous complexity), Thousands of Lights (citrusy-resin euphoria), and Pink Snowballs (vanilla-rosy comfort scent).
