    At first, this is SUPER BUTTERy cakes. Mainly butter. On my skin, at least, it fades to a different incense than I was expecting...exotic and eastern smelling, like I get from Temple Viper or Khajuraho. Eventually it fades to something warm and kinda snuggly, but I think the extreme butter is a little much for me :P


  2. This one reminds me of many things!

     

    1) Sunscreen? Not sure why, but there's something almost coconutty about it.

    2) Egg-cream bao that you get at dim sum - O, yum :P

    3) Egg-nog!

     

    Yummers! It's sweet and spicy and creamy! And the trick Ninja is adorable! she makes me want to put on some legwarmers :D


  3. So I was thinking to myself, I was thinking - I love Dragon's Heart, but it's too. . .something, for me to wear most days. Perhaps DB Resin is just not for me! But I will try this one, because everyone loves it.

     

    Dragon's Milk is like this: :D :) :D :P ;)

     

    Ok, so there's the part where it's yummy like a cookie.

    And there's the part where it makes my heart happy.

    And there's the part where I feel like a Pretty, Pretty Princess wearing it.

    And there's the part where I'm enamored.

    And that last one's like an overall summary.

     

    I think that covers it?

    But to be more specific, the freshness of the Dragon's Blood perfectly balances the sweet honey and vanilla - but the proportions change the whole time. . .they just stay perfect. The freshness (kinda lilacy, as a friend put it, which I guess DB tends to be) is stronger at the beginning, and the longer I wear it, the more the honey and vanilla warm up. By the time I went to bed last night after putting it on a while before, I felt like a sexy, Dragon's Blood-y cupcake (But no fears, non-foodies, I tend to amp honey and vanilla a lot). It's also not the baked, buttery, obviously foody kind of smell. Oh! We have this drink at the school cafe called "the Pooh Bear" - steamed milk with honey. It's like that, more than an actual cupcake. Yum. I ramble, because of my love.


  4. Yum, yum, yum!

     

    In the imp: Cedar-like wood (that must be the patchouli?) and coconut - but not a sweet and foody coconut, a dry one - if that makes sense.

     

    On, this is warm and dark and and a little sweet. Not foody, but still delicious and smooth. It's a really good fall kind of scent, and has a very grounded feel to it. The longer it's on, the more it melts into my skin. Not disappearing, but blending and smelling more like it belongs there.

     

    Goblin gets a :P


  5. I found this website through someone else - but I can't remember who :/It's a free flow-chart making site, and someone had their BPALz all up, and I said "gosh, what a good idea!" and spent three hours making it :P Really puts the addiction into perspective.

    I haven't done it, but I could easily see how you could make subheadings of "Tried and Liked" "Tried and Didn't Like" or "Try this!", to keep track - and when you click on each node, there's a place to write notes to yourself (like reviews, for example)!

     

    Anyway, I think it's supergreat. Hope it helps! :D

     

    Edited because of a spooky formatting issue :D


  6. Strangely enough, while I don't have the TKO oil (yet), I do have half a fizzyboom, and a bar of soap :D So I can't exactly compare it with the oil, but I can tell you: Yum.

     

    This soap is consistent with my findings from the other BPTP soaps I've found. All well and good - lathers nicely, moisturizes, smells pretty nice - until after about two weeks. When the scent really starts to come out, and it actually draws me to take a shower more often than I might usually :D I can tell when this process has begun, because the bar of soap will begin to sweat perfume oil, when not in use.

     

    My findings being described - I looooove this soap! The smell is relaxing and snuggly and comforting, as well as fairly delicious. It doesn't dry out my skin (though it is still a humid time of the year), and it's surprisingly good for the shaving of the legs. I really, really hope the oil smells like this - and I'll have to get some soon to find out! :P


  7. Wow! I tried this before, and liked it more than my friend who ordered it, so she gave it to me to hold on to or sell. I just tried it again, and wow!

     

    In the imp, this was pointy cherries and honey. I wasn't sure about putting it on, but I decided to try it anyway. . .

     

    I want to lick my arm a lot. The earthy vetiver is comforting, and the cherries are smooth and juicy. The honey and vanilla sweeten it, while the cloves are pointy and yummy, and the whole thing is just gorgeous!!! :P I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Blood Kiss! Thou art sweet and dark and sexy. And very red :D


  8. In the imp this was a little too reminiscent of cleaning product, so I avoided trying it.

     

    On, I think I like it. It warms up nicely, and is woody and spicy. It's still a little sharper than I might usually wear, but it's nice. It has an after-smell (like an aftertaste) that reminds me a lot of Scherezade, but I can't figure out exactly why. Hmmm.


  9. In the bottle: Mostly herbal, with a hint of the lunacy-type oils, and similar florals to Selkie, though I am certainly not a connoisseur of florals.

     

    Apparently, Singing Moon and my skin are lovers. I don't know how this changes to something so musky and sweet and warm from what it was in the bottle, but it's delicious! A hint of flowers are still there, but it's much deeper than I was expecting from my sniff out of the bottle. The warmth and the smoke almost hints at pipe tobacco, but not quite.

     

    I'm so glad I love this. And I do! This much: :P


  10. Wuh!

     

    This starts out warm and woody and ambery, yum.

     

    But after about twenty minutes, it's sinus-pinchingly pointy in a way I can't identify. I might try it again, but something in it makes me nose remember sinus infections, and we don't seem to get along well. I am very glad I only got a decant of this one.


  11. Yum!!! Yum, yum, yum.

     

    On me, this is a sharper (and more demonic, of course) Loviatar. O, sassy Crowley, here you are! I amp leather a lot, so for a while it's superstrong leathermuskyum, but later on the citrus and lilac come through in a gentlemanly, pointy manner.

    :P


  12. This is quite lovely!

     

    I am not a wearer of "perfumey" scents, but this is perfumey and ladylike and beautiful!

     

    It's vanilla and lavendar and :shock: a little floral, and I like it very, very much. I shall have to wear skirts and lace and delicate heels with it. :P


  13. In the bottle, this is foody and sweet! I love the label art, too ^.^

     

    On, this is snuggly and warm. Creamy and ambery, with a little orange citrus and some saffron. I also get the Pumpkin Queen comparison, only without the pumpkin note that is not at all my cup of tea. This one I can wear, and sniff continuously and happily :P

     

    From my first test and reapplication soon after, this one disappears lightning quick from my skin, so it might be more of a scent locket friend, so I get more wear out of it. I'm so glad I ordered this! :D


  14. I got frimped this in my latest order- thanks lab!

     

     

    Firstly, I lurve me some sirens. But the notes for this scared me away. In the imp and on my skin, this is creamsicle deliciousness. Orange and vanilla and a little ginger. Yum, yum, yum, yum! :P


  15. Ok, I called Paypal and figured out the rest of my question (beware the expiration date of credit cards!), but I'm still wondering about the echeck thing.

     

    If the echeck clears after Thunder Moon comes down will it be too late, or will the lab accept the order? I'm going to e-mail customer service right now, but that's taken a couple of days in the past and I'd like to figure this out before the Lunacy disappears. Thanks, if you can tell me anything!


  16. At first, this is chocolate, honey, herbs, and something a little sharper. Warm and yummy!

     

    Final drydown is peppery white florals, which I had to wash off.

     

    So I'll wear this for the lovely first stage and the voodoo, and then keep the voodoo and lose the scent :P


  17. In the bottle, this is berries (mostly cherry) and butter! Makes my stomach a little growly.

     

    On in the early stages, this is very juicy berries, and reminds me almost of a candle-y scent, but is too dark for that. There is something a little fiesty and alarming, as well as delicious.

    In the drydown times - this smells like candy necklaces!

     

    I really like it! :P


  18. Ok, well, what to say about this.

     

    Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous times a bajillion, I think.

     

    I can't imagine I'll ever use a whole bottle of anything, but this makes me wish I'd been able to order another bottle.

     

    In the bottle, sweet and dark, very clovey. On my skin, it's dark and resinous, the clove dies down a bit. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's wonderful and comforting and deep. Like incense being burned on a mahogany table, and some hot and sweet drink that probably only exists in dreams.

     

    I loooove this :P


  19. Ooooh, yum!

     

    In the bottle: I didn't realize how hungry I was until I smelled this! Butter and mint, yummm. (My roommate and I made truffles using peppermint extract, white chocolate chips and butter - this is it!)

     

    On: Thin mints, O, thin mints, how I love thee. It's the peppermint of Lick It Again, slathered on a cookie.

    After a while, it's more like vanilla ice cream with the mint from Green Tree Snake.

     

    :P


  20. I agree with the many verdicts of 'masculine and clean'! I think I'm going to like it very much on the Boy, and I find it very comforting to sniff at while it's on me, as well ^.^

    When I really think about picking out particular smells, it's a little soapy (in a comforting way), and there's a tiny bit of lime, vetiver, and it's warmer than I thought it would be.


  21. This is so strange (I get such different notes from this than everyone else). It's something I've been wanting to try but hadn't got around to, and the lab sent me a frimp, yay!

     

    In the imp: Buttery hazelnut, yikes! I refrained from trying it for a long time because it was overwhelming.

     

    On: Sweet and a little nutty. It later turns greener like there's almost something minty, and then I get woody notes. It's really lovely and refreshing. The wood is grounding, and the sweetness is warm and snuggly. :P
