    Holiday Moon

    On me this is green tea soap. Rather nice but not something I'm goign to wear very often...so I'll probably pass this on to someone who really loves it.

    Mouse's Long and Sad Tale

    Well, Dorian didn't work on me but this may just be a keeper! There's a definite vanilla amber creaminess to it which I love and s fair amount of spice...mostly sandalwood which I never thought I would enjoy so much. Definitely keeping the imp for more testing.

    Devil's Night

    Perfect fall scent! It's basically deep rich gingerbread on me. I love it! I only have a decant though...hoping this year's will be similar! It also has a slight wood note in the background. Oh, just lovely!

    Morgause

    Jasmine usually becomes really strong and overpowering on me, and occassionally turns rancid. This was amazingly not the case with this scent! It's still promarily a jasmine scent but the jasmine stays light and soft, leaving be without any sort of suffocating feeling. If I was to be a jasmine scent, this would be it!

    Kumiho

    Reminds me of two things: 1) a green tea perfume I used to have and 2) the wet towelettes my mom uses to clean her hands. A very clean scent but something slightly anti-septic about it (which I think is purely because of thinking about my mom's towelettes...which do in fact smell good).

    March Hare

    Exactly as described, with the apricot being stongest and the beginning and the clove being strongest at the end. Overall a nice scent, but there are other apricot scents I enjoy more.

    Alice

    Very pretty but something about it just isn't sitting right with me. I can smell the carnation, rose, and milk. It really does all mix together very nicely. Suits it's name perfectly. Smooth, girly, and with a hiny of mischief (the carnation - hint of spice).

    Queen of Sheba

    Very sharp/strong almond in the beginning but it dies and the scent is simply the spices. They are beautiful spices but don't have much throw on me.

    Dana O'Shee

    Wow!! I love this scent. It's mostly almond on me with an afternote of cream. And some vanilla. It's scrumptious. I was nervous because O and Dorian did not work on me and this is often mentioned along with them. Love it! Definitely need a bottle!

    Dracul

    This goes through several stages in rapis succession before finally settling. At first there's a very sharp citrus scent...orange blossom? Then it goes into what smells like Red Lantern but with no caramel (I'm assuming this is mostly because of the tobacco coming to play). It finally settles into a nice clove which seems to combine with spices? Perhaps that the balsam? But mostly clove. It's nice deep smell which is fairly masculine. I enjoy it and may go to it when my red lantern is out (although the scents aren't that similar...they just have a similar tone to me if that makes any sense).

    Queen Gertrude

    A really lovely soft floral! Doesn't seem cold to me...although it's nto a warm scent either. Mmm, wisteria and violet. It's pretty much pure floral though which I don't normally go for but I'm going to keep the imp and possibly get a bottle in the future.

    Coyote

    Mostly amber on me, with a handful of sweetgrass on me. I'm missing so many of the notes that appeared on other reviewers! It's actually a lot sweeter than I was expecting, it does conure up the image of plains for me.

    Blood Pearl

    A little goes a long way with this one. It's mostly orris and coconut on me...not noticing the musk but that doesn't mean anything. I keep going back and forth on this. I keep getting whiffs and loving it but then I get another whiff and think it's just ok. More testing must be done! Saving the imp to try again later. But it's definitely I combination I've never smelt before.

    Lorelei

    Well sandalwood hates me. I'm not particularly fond of the scent in the first place but it seems my skin amps it. This is mostly sandalwood on me, but it's a very soft sandalwood (from the ylang ylang?). It's feminine with an edge, soft but with a hard core. The neroli does come out a biut to play as time goes on.

    Niflheim

    The watery floral I'm getting from the scent is really nice!...however the "murky gloom" is not. I can definitely see this working on some people but there's a dirt note in there which I simply can't pull off. I'd love a version without the dirt...must find similar scents!

    Euterpe

    The poppy is definitely overpowering in the beginning but it mellows out after a few minutes. It turns a bit soapy on me, although there is some lovely floral in it. Feminine but the poppy gives it a darker/deeper edge.

    Van Van

    Hard to pinpoint this exactly. Lemongrass? Creamy note...and some wood. I don't wear wood notes, and this one is fairly strong. But this is a nice scent and woudl be perfect for those who can wear wood but would like something more than just a forest scent.

    Suspiro

    Definitely a white floral scent but surpringly the floral isn't overwhelming me! I agree with an earlier comment that this is a very wistful scent. Very pretty but not outstanding on me.

    Terpsichore

    This does indeed smell like expensive soap, but not in a bad way. There's something soft and comforting about it. It's really rather lovely!

    Moon Rose

    Wow, this is beautiful! I've had some trouble with roses on BPAL because they react strongly with my skin and can be cloying...however, black rose and moon rose have not done that! This is definitely lighter than black rose though. It's soft and feminine, and will be perfect for my more feminine moods (if that makes any sense). It's not feminine without being girly and overall makes me feel lovely. I need a bottle!

    Baneberry

    I do note the slight soap scent but it's more the soap at a really nice body shop. Juicy berry with a small tang from the herbs. A pretty green scent!

    Aeval

    This is actually a rather soft yet refreshing scent, perfect for spring. The sweet pea is very prominant but the musk gives it a softer more full scent. I don't really get the sage note (and I have no idea what tonka smells like...sorry!). It's a fairly girly scent but not as young as Juliet (which also contains the dominant sweet pea).

    Brisingamen

    Wow, amber goodness!! Loving the amber in this. There's definitely a spicy carnation in there. I also catch a dash of rose?! I do love the scent but all the ambers make it just a bit too mature of a scent for me. Give me another decade and I'll be all over it!

    Melpomene

    It actually smells like lemon to me and nto orange blossom. It's a fairly sharp scent. Some dry lavendar in the background. A suitably sad scent.

    Nocnitsa

    A generous frimp from the lab I'm not big on forest scent but this is yum! It's a deep rich pine with red berries, and a dash of dirt. I don't go for forest scents but this is the one that's brought me the closest to actually wanting to buy one.
