Even though Roses always fade on me,I NEEDED to try this.One of my favorite tattoos is my Peacock! AND,I thought it would be a Strong,Heavy Rose.Strong enough to last...but.. It is Beautiful,but I CAN BARELY SMELL IT!! Ahh,at least the Artwork on the bottle is Gorgeous!!
-
I ADORE this!!! It reminds me of my beloved Centzon Totochtin soooo much!!!Kind of like chocolate-covered peanuts.Mmmmm.. I get a sniff of Rich Wine too,and that super-sweet Honey smell like Samhain to boot!!So....This smells like two of my absolute favorites!!!I am in Heaven...It makes me want to do my "Happy Dance"(which horrifies my children ).Ahhhh...It don't get much better than this!!!
-
Mata Hari is a perfect name for this because it is a mysterious blend. It was a mix of florals on me,with a little rose and a bit of coffee. Pretty,but not for me.
-
This one matches it's description perfectly! It's mostly Butter on me,only a little pine and smoke, sweet and nutty. I like it a lot, but..the Butter is a little nauseating. For Yummmy baked goodness I much prefer PP2.
-
This is pretty,just not what I expected.It was sweeter in the bottle.Now I like Violets,but these are V-I-O-L-E-T-S!!! I even got a sniff of Sandalwood(don't know where that came from),but with my loco skin-chemistry,I got NO VANILLA!!! And sure enough,strong as it was before IT DISAPPEARED!!!Now all I have left is a memory,and a faint whiff of un-identified floral sadness...
-
Mmmmm...Spices. What's not to love? When I take a deep whiff it feels like the insides of my nose are melting. HOWEVER, my skin eats it up. It just fades away...Doesn't last an hour even! WHY oh WHY does this happen to me?
-
This is really lovely. Roses with a light touch of Grape Soda. However,my skin sucks up Rose Oil, this has been on my wrist less than an hour and I can barely smell it(after slathering it on). @#!*&% chemistry!!!
-
This is straight-up Roses N' Baby Oil on me...drys down to: Roses,Baby Oil, And..POTATO!!!! A definite NO.
-
Indeed, this IS a freshly-cut Rose. But at first, all I could smell was strong greenery,rose,and...KEROSENE!!! I couldn't believe it!!! Thank goodness THAT disappeared, leaving that beautiful Rose. My Son really liked it, he said it reminded him of Blackberry bushes. Such a light, fresh Rose, and it didn't go powdery like a lot of florals. Sadly, it disappeared on my skin with record speed! For real, this faded like no other.

I was really disappointed by this I was SO EXCITED when I read that description,Orange and Vanilla!Yay! It started out beautifully,with that juicy Orange,then it disappeared,never to return.Strangely,it never got to Vanilla on me,but turned into a nice powdery floral.I never could pick out any particular note,just a smooth blend.Pretty,WAY better than commercial perfume, but there are so many other lovely florals here.I want my Orange !!!!
-
The reviews already here are pretty accurate to how I would describe this:Strong cinnamon,a spicy christmas-y scent that turns soapy,and more suited to a room-fragrancing oil.I do like it,but not on my skin.
-
I really like this...sooo sweet.It smells just like Strawberry Bubble-gum!!! It never morphs on my skin, it just stays that same yummy scent. Unfortunately, it fades pretty fast. I am still deciding if I need more than my imp...

Oh how I LOOOOOOVVE this!!!I could roll all day in it,like a dog!! This fragrance is so complex.SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF....I'll bet the other people in the office think I'm a total nut-case sniffing my arm!Okay,I will attempt to describe it,in between my crazed wrist-sniffing.At first,Cocoa!!Then it immediately switched to chocolate-coated...what?!?Drove me crazy trying to figure it out...then it deepened to a cinnamon-y smell.Cinnamon graham crackers!!Then,a grape smell.Deep rich wine.Such a sweet,intense scent like Samhain.Then it hits me..Grape Kool-aid!!!(okay,mixed with wine).At one point I smelled root-beer,then after a while it turned into grape smoke.What a morpher!I even smelled pretzels!At this point I realize what I smelled at first with the chocolate,so familiar.It's peanut brittle!It has stopped morphing,and I am left with the sweet,candied peanuts.This is such an amazing,tantalizing scent.This Aztec girl is ordering a big-ass bottle!!!
-
I LOVE this! However,it was NOT love at first whiff! When I first put it on,I could smell the pine(which I like),but also this HORRIBLE,disgusting, strong,leafy smell,like what I imagine the Swamp Thing would smell like.Thank goodness it morphed quickly,turning more into that pine-y smell I like.Then it turned into a Christmasy,cinnamony fragrance,which I had been looking for!!Christmas spice!! The pine faded,leaving the cinnamon.Hours later,BERRIES!!! mmmmm....
-
The intoxicating perfume of exotic incenses wafting on warm desert breezes. Arabian spices wind through a blend of warm musk, carnation, red sandalwood and cassia. This is Beautiful! Soft,creamy spices..Mmm-Mm-Mm....I could smell this all day,every day.This would smell great on anyone,oh my goodness,this would smell INCREDIBLE on a man!
-
This one...is not so nice.On me,at least.At first I smell strong spice-cinnamon?And liquor, maybe brandy? Intoxicating and strong,then it deepens into overwhelming,un-washed,animal smell.Very familiar...like when I knew I needed to change the mouse-cage.Too funky for me!
-
Mmmmm...This is heavenly.When I sniffed it,I didn't think I would like it,it was soooo strong.This is all about the F-R-A-N-G-I-P-A-N-I,Baby!!! Beautiful Frangipani, just a tiny whiff of rose,and a hint of soap.I got a really good reaction from my test-subject, my poor husband.He usually dutifully sniffs my wrist,and says "nice" or "that smells good",while he yawns.This time,he tried to lead me to the bedroom!!So I guess this gets two thumbs up(or something like that).I sure wish this lasted longer..
-
Why oh why oh why...This is the ONLY one I've tried so far that I DON'T like. I just ain't feelin' it. While I do agree that this smells like an expensive, department-store perfume,I don't smell any citrus,or aqua.It is such a strong floral!I am even getting a stuffy nose from this.This is the second time I tried it, thought I'd give it another chance,but.....ewwww....This could be really nice on someone,just not me. Perhaps I'll swap this bad-boy.

This one is sooo complex.It teases me,every time I try it, it smells different. It puts the "trick" in trick or treat!The first time,it was very sweet,and smoky.Then I could smell musk.I was curious when I read of the "thuggish musk",being a former serial thug-dater( ),but alas, it wasn't of that variety.Then it all turned to SMOKE and there it stayed!Then again,the first time I tried it I was also trying out SAMHAIN!(The love of my life... )They battled it out for a while, Devil's Night was actually ahead for awhile,while it was being a SWEETheart,then..eww...too much smoke.To be fair,I tried it alone,and this time it smelled like...Caramel Popcorn!!It faded quickly,but changed to a powdery incense smell.Holy smokes,no smoke!I could still smell some musk lurking.I was really disappointed by how quickly this fades on me.I keep sniffing my arm like a fiend,trying to get a last whiff.(maybe thats why it fades!can you sniff away the scent? )I tried this again today...Right off the bat,a sweet candy-like smell and..then..Corn? I know!It smells just like that sugar corn pops cereal!There is also a rich,powdery,musky smell.I really,really like this one,but I wish it lasted longer.What an interesting scent!

This one smells like burnt sugar,mmm.At first,I thought I smelled a touch of cinnamon,but then it was gone.Very rich and buttery,a touch mapley.This is very long lasting.Eventually it faded a little,it smelled a little bit like Samhain,I could smell the honey.This is the only one that has not morphed on my skin.It stayed the same rich,sticky,sugary candy for my skin.Very familiar..it smells like the Creme Brulee I used to wear.

BPAL to represent each month, each season? Holidays, like Christmas?
mexicat replied to taz19's topic in Recommendations
I was looking for a Pine fragrance with Spice,I really love the new Holiday room spray "Glistening Snow" by Glade.It smells like Christmas! -
Hello! I am new here and looking for something similar to the Healing Gardens Sheer Passion fragrance.It is described as a watery floral,with jasmine,ylang ylang and passion flower.I would really appreciate any suggestions.Thanks!
