This was an insta-bottle order for me because I love BPAL's vanilla. The French Vanilla single note is just divine! It's a rich vanilla, not strong, but has lasted four hours so far. Very smooth. Not as obvious as the vanilla ice-cream of Detestable Putrescence nor as strong. Just absolutely lovely. I went back and ordered a couple more bottles, and I haven't done that in years. If you love vanilla, get while the getting is good!

The perfect vanilla mint. Wow, the description on this is spot-on. Vanilla mint! Rather light and fresh. Doesn't stick around long. Must try this on my sheets!
-
From the decant, the candy scent was wonderful strawberry marshmallow goodness, but the minute it hit my skin, the licorice came out and amped like crazy. Ugh. Add licorice to my death notes. Maybe I can use this in a scent locket instead.
-
Another fan of candy blends, and this one is up there among my favorites! Yes, strawberries, but also a "blue" tint to it. Soft and sweet and oh-so-bottle-worthy.

The old Candy Corn Coated Candy Apple had been one of my favorites, so I had to give this one a try (decant). Rich, fruity red apple when wet, dries to a candy apple scent, but not as sweet as Candy Corn Coated Candy Apple. It's more...dry? Subtle? I do like it (apple scents are fantastic on me) but I think I'll stick with the decant.

Not sure what to expect from this one, as cream can go either way on me. It starts off strong pumpkin, strong cream and a touch of honey. As it dries, the pumpkin fades into slight spiciness while the vanilla comes forward. Still a lot of cream and honey. Dries down to a gorgeous smokey vanilla with a touch of pumpkin. LOVE THIS. Definitely getting a bottle!
-
Mmmm, vanilla with a plum base. Sweet but not too cloying. LOVE IT.

TKO is one of my go-to sleep scents and my husband just loves it. So when it came up for an Atmos Spray, I had to get some. It smells exactly like the TKO oil. Lavender and soft herbs. Medium staying power. The Man liked it so much he took mine and I had to order more! I wish this could be added to the regular stock of Atmos Sprays, rather than just a limited!
-
The pepper comes out a bit at first, but then it smooths into a mix of bubblegum and cotton candy. Dries down to orange creamsicle. Light throw, but decent staying power. Excellent summer scent. I'm debating getting another bottle.
-
Cherubic spun sugar with a hint of lemon, sparkling peach, and floral tea. Stronger florals than I expected, but it definitely has the lemon and peach with a bit of tea. I didn't really get the sugar in it. It seems like more of a spring/summer scent than winter.
-
Decant, 2014 version: I've been wanted to try Sugar Skull for years and finally got around to it. Wet, it is sugary delight and I get the candied fruits. It dries down to a brown sugar smell. No burnt brown sugar that I can detect--it's straight up brown sugar. I'm glad I got to try it, but it's not my style.
-
Wow, this is gorgeous. Not a foody pumpkin--it really does smell like pumpkins in a field, and rather puts me in mind of Pumpkin III 2009, without the sharpness of the fir in that one. Definitely getting the sage, grass, and vines with a pumpkin base. Getting a bottle on this one for sure.

... An incense blend that invokes the higher qualities of mercy and compassion, mingled with the soft, sugared currant scent of offertory soul cakes. 2014 decant: wet, it goes on as described incense with cake. As it dries, the incense takes over. It amps on me for some reason and is very pretty. Some incense makes me sneeze but this one doesn't. I may end up getting a bottle of this!

Fermented apple juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove, lemon zest, butterscotch liquor, and orange slices. From a decant, 2014 version: starts off very apple-y, then the orange and spices kick in. It dries down to a lovely soft cider scent. Reminds me a bit of Punkie Night, but not quite so in-your-face. Will make due with my decant, though, as Punkie Night is about all the cider I can handle.
-
From a decant: It goes on almost all cinnamon, then dries down to a mixture of cinnamon and ginger. It's okay, but not for me.
-
Pure, sweet peach with just a touch of sugar. Really light and fresh.

Mother Shub's Unmentionable Peppermint Creams
reynardine replied to pinkstardust420's topic in Yules
Didn't get any marzipan at all. This is a very pleasant, light peppermint. Less intense than the Lick It series, but also doesn't last as long. I like it, but will just use up my decant. -
Wasn't sure how this one would work on me: I do well with BPAL's chocolate scent, but usually coffee goes very, very bitter on me. This one is very much a winner! Hot chocolate with cinnamon and just a touch of mocha in the background. Definitely getting a bottle of this before it goes down!
-
In the decant, this smelled AMAZING. It kinda reminded me of Left His Nurse in a Crowd for some reason? I didn't get any mint from it, but did smell the butter and cookie. When first applied, there was this weird plastic phase, but within a few minutes it went to butter cookie. Maybe a tiny touch of pomegranate? I'll definitely use up the decant but don't love this enough for a bottle. I think the butter is what doesn't work for me.
-
Finally got my decant. Starts out very heavy ginger, which I'm not that keen on, then softens into gingery Snake Oil. I was surprised at how quickly it faded. It's okay, but not something I'd get a bottle of.

Black Pomegranate and Blackcurrant Atmosphere Spray
reynardine replied to Dark Alice's topic in Atmosphere
Wow, this is fruity goodness! Not too "bright" but rich fruit. Really nice! -
izile, sorry it took so long to reply! I uploaded what I have so far on google.docs over here. The BPAL is up to date through the We Love Fine scents (and includes the Yule updates), but I'm still catching up with the Trading Posts' updates, so those aren't current yet. I don't have all the discontinued dates yet either--it takes a while to go through the old announcements!
-
A very buttery pumpkin scent, much like Jack. But Jack didn't work on me and this one is lovely. As it dries down, the beeswax comes out and a touch of cinnamon. It's nice and light, and smells like autumn.

Izile Thank you so much for your update! I still use a spreadsheet since I'm used to that, so your work is very appreciated! btw, I'm updating the old spreadsheet from Hackness/Sunlitgarden's one. I pasted Izile's updates and got it updated through the 2013 Yule Update. I still need to go through the BPTP updates and TALs and make sure those are current. Will post it once that's done.
