In Reilig Oran (Gaiman event exclusive) has been added.

 

ETA: Auto-complete decided to post "Dorian v3" instead of "Door" for the Neverwhere line. This has been fixed.

I wanted this to be a bedtime scent, like the previous poster suggested. I wanted it to be a chamomile-heavy blend with just a tinge of rich bourbon vanilla, and in the bottle it has promise. Unfortunately, I amp powdery vanilla and once it hits my skin, the chamomile disappears. The scent itself has no throw and little staying power.

All caught up! For those of you who noticed, Ol' Roswell Cemetery has been added back to the list. I swear it keeps disappearing on its own. >_>

 

The only scent that hasn't been added yet is the Gaiman exclusive from tonight's reading. Once it's been named, I'll add it in.

February's Chaste Moon/Bards and BPTP updates have been added!

Blue Moon, DD, Lupes, and Candle Moon all added to the spreadsheet! Loviatar marked for death..

Brian's Blue Moon and the impossibly cute Werepuppy have been added to the spreadsheet!

A kind soul let me know that the Inquisitions were missing from the spreadsheet. That's been rectified!

Whirling Wind and Blue Moon (#1) update added.

In the imp, the scent reminds me of hazelnuts. It's nutty and warm. Upon immediate application, it sweetens a bit -- roasted hazelnuts dusted in powdered sugar! I LOVE this one!

In the imp, it's cherry cola, slightly effervescent but mostly a heavy syrupy smell. Wet, I had first thought it was sour cherry balls, but upon second application it's all pine -- the wood, not the needles -- and what might be juniper.

 

Edit: This one's morphing before my nose...the woodsy smell gives way to a decadent patchouli with hints of cinnamon. It's a very warm and inviting and I wish it had more throw.

In the bottle, I get traces of chocolate, rich and creamy, interlaced with juicy ripe berries.

 

Wet, this is tea, not with cream but with lemon, and LOTS of it. I have no idea where the lemon came from, and who ate all my chocolate?

 

The musk roars in as the scent starts drying, and it mingles nicely with the mysterious lemon.

 

A few hours later, I get...cotton?

 

*reads scent description again*

 

I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE CAKE. THE CAKE WAS A LIE.

 

 

Anniversary and DarkDel/Trunk Show scents have been added, preemptively in some cases.

Harvest Moon 2008

Updated! Yules, Peach Moon, and 13 now included!

In the bottle, it's boozy egg nog. Wet, this one's got a really sharp note, almost reminiscent of cough syrup. Thankfully, that passes super quickly to give way to a warm, lightly spiced creaminess that reminds me of some kind of candy I know I've had before. Not too creamy, not at all milky (read: sour), slightly nutty, and perfectly spiced with cassia and nutmeg. Puts me in the mood for a nice warm holiday beverage! I wish it had more throw, and my skin is eating it. If it had more oof, I'd love it.

In case you guys are wondering, I'm waiting for Friday's 13 update, and then I'll get the spreadsheet up this weekend. I promise!

I want to eat my hand. It smells *exactly* like the little cookies. Somehow Beth even got the waft of powdered sugar that tickles your nose. After a few minutes, the powdered sugar gives way to the spices and OM NOM NOM NOM.

It's a pretty light scent, but I only put a dab on the back of my hand. No throw to speak of, but again, I barely applied so I could test it without irritating my coworkers.

It's like the Lawn Gnome and Crypt Queen had a wild, romantic affair, and this is their secret lovechild. It's delicious and sweet, definitely sexy but subdued. I love it and I want to roll around in it.

Raven Moon update added!

Hi MichelleK -

 

Hm. You *might* be able to merge them with a built-in Excel tool, but I don't pretend to be an Excel guru. My best guess is that you would want to start over; I can't imagine it would be a pretty merge. I removed a number of columns from the previous incarnation of the spreadsheet and added a few new ones. Copy+paste might be your best bet here. Sorry

 

 

Edit to add: Which reminds me...I've been on vacation the last two weeks, so I'll get to adding Raven Moon update this week.

I was thrilled to see a pumpkin pie bath oil show up on the last update. I love pumpkin pie, and anything spicy and autumnal is right up my alley.

The scent is DIVINE. The tiny bit of spice I got in the bottle amped like whoa when applied. In the bottle, I also get a fairly strong whiff of what's probably pumpkin and buttery crust, but what reminds me very strongly of SEX, a little musky and rich and oh so devilishly decadent.

Applied, it's all clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and star anise -- all the beautifully warm spices that go into pumpkin pie. I only just used it in the shower, applying the usual way by putting a small amount in my hand and then rubbing over my arms, shoulders and upper chest. The scent is strong and makes me want to eat my hand.

Those with extremely delicate skin should probably not apply. I don't normally get red patches when I use spicy blends, but this one made the crooks of my elbows and the skin under my breasts (plus a nipple and my nose, which I must have accidentally touched while I still had oil on my hands) BURN.

As is normal with BPTP bath oils, it's definitely moisturizing; my skin is soft to the touch.

It starts out a very strong anise, nice and spicy. There's a slight sweetness underneath that never gets any stronger. I hate licorice jellybeans, but this is awesome.

I figured it would be helpful if they matched, for that reason. I've got a few days of nothing coming up, thanks to a wisdom teeth extraction, so I'll try to start the switchover then.

Bat-woman marked for death, all of today's updates added!

 

Edit:

Upon reading Shollin's review forum update here, I'm wondering if people want me to revamp the spreadsheet to follow the same grouping and group naming conventions (i.e., Event Exclusives). It wouldn't happen overnight, obviously, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the spreadsheet users.

Spreadsheet updated with the Tales of Death and Dementia, and the Chakras have had their discontinuation date marked.
