Oh this is just horrible. Terrible. Feh. Send all of yours directly to me right now!! Seriously, this is beyond gorgeous. Beyond. I just want to fill a tub with it and wriggle around n there. It is soooo yummy. So yummy. The best citrus Beth has ever made. I think it's the lime that makes it. Or the Heliotrope. Though I'm not a Leo I'd be willing to lie about my birthday if it meant I could claim Leo as my own.

This was terrible on me - smelled like an indian restaurant. Exactly like one. A smell I love becase it means yummy food is coming, but NOT something I personally want to smell like.

Smells very similar to Calvin Klein Escape on me, which is not an insult. I have an unnatural love for Escape and if it weren't such an obvious and sort of date perfume, I'd probably still be wearing it every day. Very nice, and more complex and less strong than Escape.

Smells exactly like its description. Very ashy and fiery - nice but not for me. It is similar to some of the notes in Wildfire, but wildfire is sweeter and more complex.

This is what I smelled like when I came home from a long summer night of working at the DQ. Smells Like marshmallow fluff mixed with strawberry syrup - thick, sticky and sweet. Not for me.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Very in your face mint, there's something else in there, a spicey note, that I can't really identify. Very nice.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Sweet lemon, not too many other notes, although there's probably some sort of floral in here. Probably the dreaded lotus, which doesn't work for me. Pleasant, but nothing that special.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Beyond incensey, very very strong. This scared me and I disliked it so much in the imps that I was afraid to put it on...

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... That's it, my nose is broken. I got an ozoney almond out of this one, didn't work on me at all. Plus, makes me sneeze the second I smell it.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Interesting, I got the same impression shelldoo did - light fruit, no wood at all. I'd almost think my imp was mislabled but since everyone else in the celestials swap got the wood impression, I guess its just my sniffer... Anyway, finally, a BPAL fruit that works on me. I have no clue what the smell of this is, but it smelled wonderful on me and got even better as it dried down.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Spice cookies without much sweetness; definite anise note. Very spicy, in a yummy way, without being cloyingly sweet. A great winter scent.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Very incensey, no sweetness at all. This was terrible with my skin chemistry (interesting, considering I'm a Scorpio and my understanding is its my ruling planet)

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Dry, fiery incense notes, slightly ashy smelling. Cinnamon, maybe some dragon's blood? Not my normal sort of scent or something I'd wear on an every day basis, but very nice.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Amber and cinnamon with a drop of something fruity... maybe a vaguely carnation-like note? Very nice. I'd definitely try to find more of this. One of the only cinnamon blends that hasn't irritatated my skin.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Sweet floral, light, slightly aquatic, and very pleasant. However, to me it smells like the "base" for a lot of the lunacies - perhaps these are where the traditional lunar notes come from? On balance, while this was nice, there are a lot of other blends that are similar which I prefer.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... My initial impression was WOW! Sweet but not cloying light floral with a hint of mint and light fruit. It's what I'd expect Pisces to have smelled like. But at the end, the mint comes out very strongly and the rest of the notes are kind of overwhelmed, and it's not as nice as it is while wet.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Sweet aquatic, has an initital very strong acetone note, also some light fruits/florals - apple blossom and pear? Once the acetone note completely disappears it is great scent, but given how hard it is to get your hands on the celestials, I wouldn't go out of my way to find some of this one.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Very strange in the bottle, once you put it on it totally morphs into something very nice. Has a baby oil note to it but also a very "clean" note. I liked it a lot.

Forgive my short-ish review, I had to write up a bunch of reviews quickly as part of the Celestial swap circle... Woody, sharp, dry - very similar to Queen though not quite as sweet.

This is possibly the least helpful review ever. I have NO idea what Danube smells like - sort of a tart juicy citrus, but I couldn't say which citrus fruit. There's some floral in there, but I couldn't tell you which. There's some watery smell, but not really. In a case of the sum being more than its parts, however, I absolutely ADORE Danube and it smells ridiculously good on me. It's perfect for summer and just plain yummy.

I didn't think I liked this one, but decided to test it again before placing my order today. On me, this smells like Cherry kool-aid that you made too strong, all syrupy and dried up on your hands when you've got some little kid tugging at you to hurry up and finish making it. No amber at all (and my skin loves amber) no carnation, nothing just cherry berry tutti frutti sort of smell. I have no idea of the age of my imp or where I got it from, but it's old enough that it was originally tarted, so maybe that is affecting the smell? But all I get is achingly sweet berry cherry (my skin does amplify almost the most minute of a cherry like smell into something HORRIBLE so it may well be my sking - no dragon's blood, strawberry, raspberry or anything like that for me) Ah well, saves me some money at least!

One of the very few fruity bpal's that works on me. Smells like glaceed tangerines. I know those don't actually exist, but if they did, this is what they'd smell like. Very yummy, but not necessarily a smell I'd wear as a perfume - would be great as a soap (it is quite similar to villainess's indiscreet, actually) or in a body lotion (where it's similar to skindazzles satsuma guava, though it is much less orangey than the SD scent). Very nice, very youthful, but a tad to sweet for me.

I had such a different experience of this... I know the tower is a card of change, usually signifying something very difficult has happened and such, and I expected it to be strong, smoky, and unpleasant based on the card. But I really really like it! It remind me a lot of wildfire - smells smoky but with something sweet underneath. In my mind it reminds me more of the legend of the phoenix than the tower card - something burning up and rising again. Although the tower is supposed to signify that things can only get better from there, so maybe its appropriate. anyway, enough waxing philosophic. Sweetish smoke and florals, with a bit of a powdery smell. Lovely. Might be a big bottle for me. I have this paranoid delusion that Beth will decide to discontinue the tarot scents and I will feel compelled to buy them all at once, so I'm trying to get one I want an order to avoid having to shell out a huge amount of (hypothetical) money in the future.

Dorian is sorta like "Lemon Lace." Antique Lace plus a sugary lemon note that remind me of sudha segara. That seems the closest. Funny that you should all mention Oisin and Regan - those are two of my very favorite BPALs (as is Antique Lace) but neither of those ever struck me as being similar to AL. Weird.

Oh fruity BPAL, why do you spurn me? I love fruit, I love BPAL, but fruity BPAL? Unless you're the King of Spades, you pretty much hate me. Mi-Go, I had such high hopes for you. I bought two bottles, and was so happy to see my squishy brains and open up your deliciousness. But your fruity wonderfulness dissappears on my skin, and all I can smell is jaZZmine - annoyingly assertive jasmine, which is why I typed it like that. No amout of pineapple, pomegranate, pink pepper or peony can rescue you for me, nor can such abject alliteration. I'm sure you'll make someone else very happy, but why for once can't it be me???
