I was lucky enough to have found a partial of this, XCDL13 and Elf v4! In the bottle: Not sure if this makes a lick of sense, but it smells viscous. Thick. Light and wistful vanilla musk. But, thick in the oil. Wet on skin: The perfect, non-foody vanilla and musk. Do I smell Linden Blossom? Dry down: The linen note that the Lab uses, continues to amaze me! Other linen notes are just the worst for my skin! Anyhow, the vanilla musk is still predominate and wistfully beautiful! I'm certain that there is linden in here! Verdict: It lasts and lasts! I am in love. I'm either going to have to hunt another partial bottle down or just be forgetful that I even have it

I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed this yet! This is it. My favourite scent bpal has offered... I got into bpal on my birthday in 2013, but eyed their oils since 2006 @,@. In the bottle: Lovely cream and amber! The cream has this delicate vanilla orchid powder to it. The amber could be adding that dusky powder however. Upon a longer huff of the bottle, comes the teak. Just a faint wood though! Wet: Almost the same as in the bottle. Except the teak comes out to stabilize and the aquatic-sweet lotus adding a ethereal foreground! Dry: The teak plays a more quiet, yet dominant role. The amber is sweet, powdery-resin on me and the cream-vanilla orchid-Esque note swirls with that soft lotus and blankets the amber and teak! Verdict: It is absolutely, without a doubt, gorgeous! It has a medium throw and it lasts.

A tousled, sexy mix of patchouli, vanilla, and hemp. Oh boy... First to review and my first review in a loooong time. Well, here. We. Go! To preface this: I have a bottle of Banshee Beat (aged, but not quite as aged as OG BB) to compare. As a moisturizer... In the Bottle: It smells a bit like aged BB, but the vanilla is more prominent. Overall, it is a bit light smelling. The Patchouli is there, faint though. There is a bit of Oak-y Hemp wafting out too. More clearly as the Patchouli, but not as much as the Vanilla. Wet: There's that famous Patchouli of the BB kind! My skin amps Patchouli anyway, but this is still like a slightly lighter BB, probably good for Work places! The Vanilla is swirling around Patchouli in a delicate dance for dominance while that Oak-y Hemp keeps a delicate rhythm in the back. 10 Minutes of Drying: The Oakish note has dispersed into the backdrop and the Hemp note reached a crescendo, turning the Creamy Patchouli into a more dark yet lively scent. Dry: The notes are in full Harmony on my skin. Blended beautifully and complimentary. It wears close to the skin without it being cloying for those around who fear Patchouli. I don't, but people I work with... Do. Verdict: Hoarde Worthy Keeper. Perfect for the work place (if you don't amp it crazily) I get wafts of Green Vanilla and Patchouli every now and again.

Not sure if this'll work, but O on me smells of stale boggish water and play-doh hell...?

Goblin for Banshee Beat Reflected Vulva for MLAST Maybe Black Death for Mme Moriarty? I am not sure for Feed Me nor Tombstone... -
The combo I'm thinking of trying is House of Unquenchable Fire (lately I've been spraying my clothes the night before) with Hesoid's Phoenix, and Snake Oil Hg.

Burning Book perhaps?

White mint cookies with a drizzle of pomegranate cream, dusted with confectioner's sugar. I ended up buying two bottles by accident. Now I bought it because I love Brian's work and the notes seemed perfect... In The Bottle: Buttered popcorn doom! That's all I can smell. It's not the same as Mouse Circus, which the popcorn is not powerful. Wet: Still in your face theatre popcorn. Nothing else... Dry: Popcorned mint and nothing more... Verdict: Give one away and see how the other ages...

@,@ I knooooooooooooooow! Ugh... Why isn't there more of it on ebay? I'll have to keep an eye out for those comparisons then. At this rate, it's my forever favourite. I think, it ranks higher for me than Banshee Beat and I love that scent!

I absolutely LOVE Glowing Vulva, especially the Bath Oil, and am wondering if any of you lovely netmancers out there can point me to some GC's and easy to find LE's that are exceptional equivalents to this amaximg scent! Many thanks to you all, in advance!

Curiosity won! The Zodiacs first! Sun: Taurus. Moon: Pisces. Asc. Libra. Earth Snake. MBTI: I actually got tested more than once for this x,x I hate tests. But the results were both INFP and INTP if I remember correctly. I was born in Germany, well still born. Nearly killed my poor mom in the process (Seriously, no wonder she has grey hair now x,x'). They ended up reviving me and from then on, my life seems to have been (and still is) a tumultuous one. I finally have come to terms I am a conundrum in of myself and have no hope in completely figuring myself out. The animus confuses me so! We moved a lot when I was younger and it seemed to have shaped me in my late teens, being homeless. Though, I have settled now, I feel the need to suddenly uproot and go further East and North. Socially, I am awkward as heck! I'm this tall, lumbering thing that'll get random bouts of uncontrollable energy and start bouncing all over the place! I tend to lean towards helping others. Feeling their pain in a way. Sometimes, it backfires and I get bitched at. I also have a terrible time expressing myself on the get-go, which leads to a lot of miss-communication, misunderstandings or people taking my words and twisting them to better fit their outcome. As I tend to leave a lot open. Let's just say, that what is in my head and what gets openly expressed are entirely too different! I leave out key points, thinking I already put them out there! Wonderful lessons I tell ya! I am both old and young in the soul. I feel as though I am born in the wrong era, feeling as though Pre-Indo European is where I need to be. Where as, I'm young enough to continue to chase fireflies and approach animals with a sense of wonder (That goes for humans too). I have also learned a while back, that I can easily grasp onto languages. Anthropology, History, Linguistics, seem to be my forte. I also tend to go through "Cycles". From random mediums of art, to writing, to cooking, to languages. My spirituality is sacred to me, but I do not let it run me via books, or how others deem it to be. I'm told to follow what I know is right and that's a lesson I am still learning. I'm chaos, everything I do seems to be such, yet I am viewed as laid back and happy. I'm also a gift giver, which has led me to be used that and sometimes I give trust before it's earned. It leads to a lot of "Dammit! *Hits self repeatedly* You dumb-fuck! You should have known better!" I also, in person swear waaaaaaaay too much... I'd write more, as I feel that doesn't even seem to be a coherent idea of what my personality is @,@ but then I'd feel waaaay too narcissistic >,<! Scents that seem to (not) work for me: O (So far, it smells like wet mold and play-doh ) anything else, somehow works for me...

NOOOOOOOO! It's playdoh on me Q,Q..... I'll have to see how this ages... Edit: Aged 1.5 years. Still that stagnant, salty water and mildewed play-doh on me. It's so weird! All those notes work for me. Yet this blend is a death blend x,x... Going to try it another year and maybe look for an imp from 2009?
