    Democrat

    Yes, it's honey! It really smells like a honey SN to me as well, which is fine because I love a pure, simple honey smell. And I'm a Dem, too, so I was quite happy to get this frimp.

    Perchta

    Perchta smells like a sharp, herbally pine scent on my skin when wet, but when it dries, it is a lovely, subtle creamy-smelling floral. I bought a bottle on a whim, and I don't regret it. However, I can tell this scent isn't for everyone!

    Sweet, sweet florals

    Pele! And I agree with Eos and Tiger Lily--two of my very favorites. I suggest Persephone, too. The two lunacies that I have (White Moon and Kindly Moon) are sweet and lovely florals as well.

    Nyx

    I'm writing this as I wear it. Wet: I really smell the rose. Well, it's like jasmine-spiked rose. I'm getting little to no myrrh. This smells very sharp and very floral. Dry: Yeah, it's still rose and jasmine. There's something too strong about this scent. Like others have said, perhaps the myrrh is amping the flowers. I doubt I will use up my imp. Oh wait, there's the myrrh, softening things up a bit, but Nyx still isn't quite right for me.

    Marie

    I put on a ~two-year-old imp of Marie tonight and was pleasantly surprised. It has aged well! The description is apt: Marie is a wonderful mix of tea rose and violet. It is sweet, soft, and uber-feminine. I am continually pleased by BPAL's florals (I never really cared for florals prior to BPAL), and this is no exception.

    Pronouncing "BPAL" and scent names!

    Yeah, um, Merteuil is difficult to elucidate on a message board. It's mer (like 'mare')-tœ-yuh, but it's not enunciated as much near the end.

    Gomorrah

    When wet, this is a strong date/fig. The description doesn't lie! Drydown makes this a sweet, beautiful scent on me. I like it very much and will gladly use the rest of my freebie. I will have to think about getting a full bottle.

    Vechernyaya

    Three white musks with poppy and patchouli. I agree that this smells like a classic cologne or perfume. When I first apply it, it smells almost masculine, like an aftershave. Drydown gives it a more feminine scent. I will use my freebie imp but won't purchase a bottle.

    Zephyr

    I'm getting a very light, lemony vanilla. It has a tinge of spice. This is an unassuming fragrance, quite girlish and pretty, but nothing special to me.

    Tweedledum

    Very, very figgy on me. There's a green scent, too, but the top note on my skin is definitely fig! This smells a lot like Eden with a dash of verdant sharpness to my nose. Interesting, but a bit off. I like it more than Tweedledee, though, and will probably wear the rest of my imp.
  11. Clementine

    Tweedledee

    This smells brightly and sharply citrusy, peppery and very sweet to me. It's not a bad scent per se, but it is a slightly odd combo that doesn't really work for me. I will probably use it as bath oil.

    Les Bijoux

    Yum yum! This smells like fresh, crisp apples with a hint of other orchard fruits, an even smaller hint of rose, and a dash of flowery musk to me. (It also smells absolutely nothing like ELF on my skin or to my nose--funny how that works!) It's a very clean smell. I'll have to give it a few more tries, but this may be a 5 mL contender.

    White Moon

    Mmm, pure florals. I think I'm getting the lilac the most. It smells fresh and clean, much like an actual flower. It's very feminine and lovely. I like (the quite similar) Kindly Moon more, but White Moon is stronger. Yummy scent for floral fans.

    Snake Oil

    Darn, this smells resinous and very much like vanilla on me, but it's nothing special. I was so hoping to be wowed after learning that this is one of BPAL's best-sellers and has so many rave reviews. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but it's just . . . vanilla on me. I may try aging my imp to see if the scent becomes sexier or richer or more interesting, but as is, I don't need a 5 mL.

    Drink Me

    Yes, maraschino cherries and pineapple cake! Drink Me smells sweet and like baked goods. Quite delicious, though I think I favor Eat Me.
