Minty... rosey... but definitely more rose than mint. And there's a hint of spiciness underneath. I like this, but not enough to hang onto it. One of my friends is very much into rose, and this will smell lovely on her. Oooh, though later it starts to morph into the bandaid kind of smell. Uck. No. No no. Too bad. I love the concept!

Oh. I love this one. I had never tried vetiver until I received a decant of Terrae oil. And I wondered, "Ooh, is this vetiver that I'm loving so much? That's so grounding, and relaxing and peaceful?" Yes. It is. Because now I have tried Sloth, and I have much love for the vetiver. It just grounds me the minute I wear it -- and I'm trying it tonight when I'm going over to my brother's in my PJ's to watch movies. It's perfect. <3 Sloth!

Lovely lemon! A strong burst from the get-go, and not much else. It's nice for about an hour, and then it's gone! Very sad, but I'll keep this imp for the summer, where it will be nice and light and fresh!

Sharp, overpowering. Mostly violet, which sometimes I like on my skin, and sometimes I don't. After a while it settles, and more of the incense comes out. I admit to feeling disappointed about it, though because I was hoping it would be more night blooming flowers, and less violet. I'll pass this on to a friend that I think it will smell lovely on! It's beautiful, but just not me

I absolutely ADORE this oil. It certainly fits the definition of grounded to me. I also love that I can smell it the next morning when I wake up. I get vetiver from it, as cuervosueno does, but also the oakmoss and sage. It's heavenly.

YUMMY! This is another one I wantses more of -- along with Snow White and Krampus. It's sweet, but not overly so -- rich plums, and winter berries with cool snow. I have always liked Bordello, but wished it had a bit more depth. This has more depth. YUMMY! (again)

Incense and baked goods. Then I read the notes again, and nod -- amber and baked goods, though the beeswax settles in after a while with the olive oil, so that this isn't as sweet as I feared it would be. I'm hoping this doesn't become overpoweringly sweet as it settles on my skin for the evening. Nice!
-
I like this in the initial stage, because it's more dirt and moss with a hint of sweetness than anything else. But yay for my body chemistry, and it amping the pastries more than anything else. So disappointed, because it renders what should be a complex blend to just food. Though! As time goes by, more of the orchid comes out, so maybe there is hope for this yet!

I am SO glad I ordered this. Because? It smells SEXY. Who knew that I smelled so good in red musk and leather? And just enough wood to lend a nice smoky flavour to it. This is a MUST ORDER MORE RIGHT NOW PLS. Now if only I had a man to slather this on, as well!
-
For some reason, I didn't get it when ordering a decant of this that 'charcoal' literally meant charcoal. And then I started reading the reviews, and I started to worry. But! I needn't have, because the charcoal, combined with the candy, smells utterly delicious! It's a trifle sweet (I tend to amp sweet badly), but initially, I really, really love this. I'll have to update after a long-haul wearing, to see if the sweet ended up making me sick.

This is all citrus and gardenia on me, but light. So very light, and this disappoints me, because what I smell is heavenly. I suffer from SAD, and this, I think, is the perfect light and happy winter scent. Maybe I'll get what I want from it if I slather! It's lovely.

I think that I am in love with BPAL's snow accord. I already had loved October, though it tends towards masculine on me. November is nice, with the snow accord added to the leaves... I don't think I love it, love it. But I like it enough to wear the decant, though it does push to the masculine on me as well, so I'll only wear it when in a certain mood!
-
I also finally admit to suffering from SAD, and I've been having a really, really hard time. I finally went out and bought myself a goLite, but I've also been relying very, VERY heavily on TAL Anthelion. I have some bergamot oil, and I think I'll get myself some of the others -- grapefruit especially. Thanks for starting this thread

I want to eat my arm! It smells heavenly -- but I think it is going to be one that overwhelms me as I wear it, because it is very, very sweet. I could be wrong, though.. I hope so. Because it's yummy, yummy, yummy! On me, it smells mostly mango and lotus root, though the cedar comes out after a while. Oh, this is very, very good.
