    Watery &/or Aquatic Florals

    The Host of the Air (2009) is like wet flowers, or cut flowers in the greenhouse, as someone described it in the thread linked here. I get lilies and other sweet strong white flowers from this.

    Apples?? Finding the right apple scent

    Someone mentioned The Hesperides a while back - I second that, love it, very deep earthy apple.

    Woods~

    I like the wood in my old bottle of Lyonesse. Very ship-like, I think. Have to try Mary Read!
  4. I love Wolf Moon. Masculine and great, big pine/cedar note. Dee is wonderful too, I agree about walking through the woods to get to the room full of old books - perfect!

    Manhattan

    I get leather and teak almost right away, and love it. (I like masculine scents). Throw isn't massive, which is perfect for me.

    Autumn Scents - recommend the ones you love

    Devil's Night, and Wolf Moon (separately, not together!) My Devil's Night is 06 I think and has mellowed a lot, but it still has that faint trace of bonfire.

    The scents that get you the most compliments?

    Dana O'Shee - "smells like you " Fae Tamora Katharina Jolasveinar Haloa So peach, Icelandic lichen and baked goods. Who knew?

    What BPAL would this fictional character wear?

    Ben Gay? Tiger Balm? Ah, just kidding... Western Diamondback sounds like it to me.

    Springtime scents

    Tamora! And I'm waiting for forum bottles of Anactoria and Angeronalia. And Darkling Thrush is lovely on a rainy spring day.

    Tamora

    Ordered a 5ml from the lab - it is LOVELY - peach mostly on me but with the vanilla under. The throw is not too wide and I can wear it to work and on a crowded subway. Got a few compliments too!
  11. I am uplifted by Green Phoenix. Around the past Christmas holiday it was Jolasveinar.

    Cake, cookies, donuts, baked goods, even Cinnabon

    What about Halôa? Very brioche-y on me.

    Salty scents?

    Lyonesse is salty on me...

    Scents for late summer into autumn

    I third Singing Moon. And one of my faves is Vixen - tobacco flower and ginger, which is nice on me.

    Recommend the most herbal scents, please

    Singing Moon is very herbal on me with lots of moss too. Like a witch's cottage in the woods by the sea!

    Essence of Sunlight - What's the sunniest scent?

    I also think of The Lion. Desert sun.
  17. I love the warm gingers in Dana O'Shee and Sudha Segara, and I really love Halôa for comfort.
  18. I'd recommend Winter of Our Discontent - bitter orange - strong throw though. (Edited - sorry!)

    Recommmendations for Green Scents

    Did you already try it? no - just saw the description. My local ice cream place makes cucumber ice cream in the summer - very slightly sweet, very good.u

    Recommmendations for Green Scents

    New GC scent - Squirting Cucumber!

    The Darkling Thrush

    Would you believe I'm bidding on a dress on eBay with a pattern called "snow violet?" How perfect is that! If I win it I'll have just the right BPAL to wear... Edited to add: I love the violet note and the slushy snow note together. Perfect for March's rainy or snowy days. It doesn't go soapy on me, but man do I amp the violet! (and I won the dress!)

    The Saddest, most Melancholy & Wistful BPALs

    Talvikuu. Lonely, lonely, lonely. Alone in the forest.

    I second Halôa - and the Yule LE Jolasveinar too.
  24. sionnac

    Scent for Halloween?

    Jolasveinar for Christmas Eve and Haloa for Christmas Day. Jolasveinar makes me giggle when I think of "pilfered Christmas pastries" - and Haloa (how do you make the circumflex in BB code?) reminds me of marathon holiday baking sessions, feasting and laughing.

    Talvikuu

    Alone in the forest. Why do I keep thinking of Little Red Riding Hood (the Angela Carter film The Company of Wolves comes to mind)? All the better to eat you with ...
