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 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!
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yes, maraschino cherries and pineapple cake! Drink Me smells sweet and like baked goods. Quite delicious, though I think I favor Eat Me.
-
I have to agree that KM is seamlessly blended, but I think I'm getting all of the florals with a hint of peach and little of the sandalwood or vanilla. Maybe they will peek out as the day goes on. This is a yummy, sweet blend, and I adore white florals, so yay!
-
This goes on pure butter and then turns into a lovely comfort scent--somewhat spicy, foody. Deliciously warm!
-
Mm, I do get some cake, but this scent is not wholly foody on me. It smells so yummy and comforting, vaguely reminiscent of potpourri, but in a good way. I will definitely be wearing this a lot through the fall and winter!
-
Yup, this is also very pine/juniper/eucalyptus to me. It's a great scent to sniff in the imp to wake up the senses. I actually think it works on my skin, but I generally don't want to smell like pine. This will make an excellent bath or room oil.
-
This smells unpleasantly smoky on me. I have to agree that it's peculiar. Florals usually turn sweet and inviting on my skin, but not this! It smells oddly earthy on me. I am not quite sure what I will do with my imp, but I'm certainly not buying a bottle.
-
Ylang ylang, honey, Egyptian and Arabian musks and labdanum. Hmm, Skuld smells like Dimetapp cough syrup on me. It's not an unpleasant smell at all (in fact, when I was young, I used to love the taste of Dimetapp when I was sick), but I don't really want to smell grapey and medicinal. I think I'll use up my imp on days when I'm not going to leave the house. I can definitely see this scent being wonderful (spicy, sweet) on someone else.
-
Oh my god, I just adore Pele. The scent is so fresh and effervescent on my skin, and it's so luxuriantly feminine. If white florals work for you, try it! It's just a feel-good, smell-better oil for me!
-
Whitechapel starts out all lime and zest, but then it quickly turns sour on me. The wet application is so promising, so I am sad that this doesn't work! I will try it a few more times to make sure it's really a dud.
-
This is like putting fresh peach juice all over my arms--ripe, fresh, sweet, delicious. I like this so much more than Katharina. It doesn't have that sharpness or bite. It's just peachy! I don't know if I will buy a bottle, but I will definitely use my imp.
-
This is a nice, sweet flower scent on me. I am absolutely awful at picking out individual notes, but I think iris and jasmine love me! I get relatively no musk from it. I won't buy a bottle of this because it's a bit too tame and run-of-the-mill perfume for my tastes, but once again, Beth is amazing with florals!
