    So Below

    I love As above, but So Below is my favorite out of the two. It is really creamy/dusty and I love it. I'm not getting much cardemom though but hopefully it shows up after a while. This keeps changing on me. I'll probably come back and write more on it later after wearing it some more. I LOVE THIS though.

    As Above

    I just got my decants in of As Above & So Below! As Above is so lovely. In the bottle it smelled really strong and woodsy and I was like WOAH. Now that it's settled on my skin it is beautiful. I get a light leather creaminess that I wasn't expecting. LOVE

    First Time BPAL-er looking for recs!

    I'm new too but I've tried a few things! For honey I recommend Against idleness and mischief and Amicitia Oh and Blood Kiss sounds like it would be a winner ( I luvs it) "Lush, creamy vanilla and the honey of the sweetest kiss smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk."

    Scent Recs based on your PERSONALITY!

    I suppose I'll give this a go. I'm a INFJ to a T. So as far as personality goes, there you have it. I'm a 27 year old graphic designer who believes everyday is halloween. As far as my physical appearance goes I'm VERY mixed, my mother is French/German/English and my father is Japanese/ Korean. I turned out being extremely pale with brown eyes and light brown hair (that I dye black). My features lean more towards my Asian side so I have almond eyes and high cheek bones. When it comes to how I dress, my wardrobe consists of black, black and more black. I like lace, pretty dresses and blouses but on most casual days I throw on a band tee and skinny jeans. I love antiquing, history and fashion and I collect vintage paperdolls hence my username. I love to read nearly anything historical or vampire related and I LOVE late 19th/ early 20th century children's books. Aside from being in graphic design I love art in all forms. I paint in watercolors, draw and sew. I'm also fond of origami. Hmm... some of my favorite movies are Only lovers left alive, Interstellar, Corpse Bride, Pans Labyrinth. And PERIOD FILMS. As far as music goes my favorite bands would have to be cradle of filth, the cure, rasputina, depeche mode, motionless in white, rammstein, afi, mgmt, dimmu borgir and classic music from the 1920's- 1950's.

    Scent Recs based on your PERSONALITY!

    I'm still fairly new myself so I don't know if I'll be much help, but just based on what I've tried so far FAE seems fitting. I actually just got it as a frimp and am wearing it today. It smells very magical/ fairy like and I think it would suit you well. I also think ALICE would be a good pick seeing that you like Alice in wonderland It smells like creamy carnations. I think there are actually scents for Labyrinth and the last unicorn so you might wanna check those out

    Alice

    Milky tea with crumbled carnation petals and a dash of spice. I want to drink this!

    Penny Dreadful

    From the imp it gives off the same wet earthy scent that zombi has. On my skin it smells like rain, wet clay dirt and warm vanilla. I love this!

    Zombi

    This is probably the most unique of the current scents I own. The best way that I can describe it is if you were on a bed of mossy soil, threw a bunch of roses on top and started stomping on them. I get that tingle in my nose that happens whenever its about to rain too. I was thinking of giving it to my mom because she loves soil smells... but its so unique...so I'm going to keep it

    Pomona

    I only have a sniffie so I'm not sure what this would be like on my skin but it is super sweet smelling, like a red jolly rancher! Nothing nutty smelling to speak of though :/

    The Atrocious Attic

    I love atrocious attic, to me it smells like really dusty vanilla and old violets. I also smell what seems to be old perfumed powder. I can't stop sniffing my wrists. I'm so glad that I have a bigger bottle of it headed my way

    Ouija

    I got this in imp form and didn't really know what to expect as I've never worn/owned anything that had such woody notes. At first sniff I was reminded of my childhood church with wooden floors and dusty pianos. And when I really think about it I can totally picture that this is how an old ouija board would actually smell. After it dries I'm left with slight yummy florals. I REALLY like this
