no vertiver(luckily) but also no peach T his smells a lot like ...perfume. Very generic perfum. It smells good, that's for sure but I miss the uniqueness here. Will use the Imp for occations I want to wear parfume but not be noticed.

Clover decanted me a cute little bottle of this I had the feeling that it could be helpful because in my new job I encountered some blocks with calling new customers. First, the scent: Cinnamon, candy and something very dirty/animalistic underneath. Voodoo properties: This one smells very magical/loaded, and somehow it feels "heavy" to put it on, somedays I cannot use it...how bizarre! It has happend also with High John the conqueror. I want to use it but my whole body refuses, when i force myself to use it anyway, I get ill! First time I used it the calling went well and i even managed to score a appointment with a customer. Today i try again because the blocks are not cured completely

I got this as a gimp from the lab, i guess because i ordered 2 dream blends This one really evoces dreams !! i don't dream that often in general but when i use this I have clear and bizarre dreams. therefor i use it not so often, mostly in the weekens when i can sleep long. Like saturday i used it and i dreamt that i needed to order a truck I had to fill long lists of pro's and con's of different kinds Imagine...I do not even have a car. The scent itself is citrussy and lavender, Quite neutral to me.

The lucky of you who get patchouli I don't, I get lots of roses, Wanton is a lot like Spellbound to me, which is not bad, I like it ,but not enough to reach my 5ml wishlist
-
Soft rosey and delicat. I like it a lot, like you have smeared yourself with a expensive rosecream that you found in an old box at the attic and might date back from Victorian times. Cinnamon? Not noticable for my nose, it's rose, rose, rose. Not a red rose but a pale, pink rose. The only reason i will not buy a 5ml is that it is too delicat and subtle for me as i like strong scents. I combined it today with Follow me Boy, fits good together
-
I didn'd review Gluttony?? Oh well then, here goes. This is a scent i really reach for from time to time. To me it is the most strong BPAL i own(together with Jack)therefor I cannot use it on a daily basis. When i wear it the day after it goes to the back of my stash. It's sticky, brown, sugary and there must be honey, because in the drydown honey is most what i get especially when i put it in my hair. It is a scent i love dearly for those days life seems gray and the weather isn't co-operating. To me its not nutty at all, caramel and coffee(and Honey) are the prominent notes
-
There are not many BPAL scents I cannot wear but this is one! On me it smells like a animal cage. Probably sexy for the lions to smell me but i prefer something less animalistic After some hours it becomes more flowery, dried rosed and perhaps jasmine. Will skip this one

Similarities Between BPAL Scents - GC and general discussion

Somnus and Oneiroi are quite alike (but to my nose everything with lavender does smell alike) -
First of all: I hate aquatics with passion. That said i was very afraid to try this one but again a pleasant suprise from the lab!!!! This is gorgeous, delicat, suble and already high up my top 10 list. I smells exactly as I had expected Snow White to smell. Even my BF likes it, and as many of you know, he is not a big fan of the labs oils. So on to the scent: white, suble floral and there is a hint of something foody, amonds perhaps. It's quite good lasting as i am having flu at the moment, I am in bed and my BF picked it from the post yesterday i dabbd a bit on my belly and inner elbows, I can still detect it 24 hours later
-
Hmm i thought i had reviewed this, well guess not Anyway, Sugar cooky is exactly true to the description, makes you crave those "shortbread" cookies all day. There is similarity with Gluttony and Gingerbreadpoppet and if i have to compare them it's like light brown, soft sweet, lightbaked cooky(sugar Cooky) medium brown, sweet dark baked cooky(Gingerbreadpoppet) and darkbrown, caramel coffee burned cooky(Gluttony) From these 3 I like Sugar Cooky best! A cosy cuddle, blanket scent
-
Not much to add on the scent/smell itself but the effect it has on me is kind of...weird I cannot stop thinking about sex and I start flirting like hell when I dab it on. Ehh dangerous scent if you are married girl... ETA:Married girl....had a girls night out in another city, went to a bar and really lots of man where wanting to talk close to her ear(behind the ear was follow me boy)The married girl got a lot of phone numbers, it was something she was not used to at all,she never had THAT much male attention

A master storyteller who possessed unfailing courage and compassion, a sharp, quick wit, and a true understanding of human nature. Saffron and Middle Eastern spices swirled through sensual red musk. The stories of 1001nights are my fav so this was an unsniffed 5ml order. It was an oke scent but not what I expected, so I decided to swap it away. Then I got another imp of it in a swap so today I use it again. I like it, but some how it reminds me too much of "Joop" a designer scent I use to wear a lot, so that's solved why I didn't like it, wrong memories. The scent itself is spice, sweet, longlasting and wafting. I layered it with Folow me boy, and have to admit.. it's quite sexy this way. Keeping the imp this time

I am at the point that i don't want to try the unreleased anymore Again I have fallen in love and this is not an quick crush but a hearthbreaking one OMG what a nice scent this is. It's how I hoped Snow white to smell like, or Frost Moon. It's minted flowers, but a lot of sweet mint that is not fading so quick as in frost moon. It stays creamy mint when dried down Really, as soon i i seen it released there is a 10 ml order. Just hope the formulation does not change... fingers crossed and praying ETA: if there is a little point what can be improved it must be its' lastabilities' It's very very soft and lasted about 30 mins on my skin
-
This is great! Like others have said: it reminds me a lot of Blue moon but as Blue moon is too aquatic for me, this one is much better. I love the mint/frozen feel of it. Also the lasting power is great and I ended up with my nose in my armcrock all evening and by BF declared me nuts This will be a good early spring scent, with flowers popping out of the snow...
-
Sweet flowers, Perhaps jasmine, behind there is something spicy, like someone mentioned, a bit like curry. It make me feel warm and comfi although I do not really care for the scent. It reminds me a bit of Delight. As for it's Voodoo properties, I am wearing it for about an hour and the day started bright and happy. I can do with some luck today as i have to start calling prospects to make sales appointments.... Update will follow on results

Oils with the strongest throw or sillage - the most noticeable scents
quinkel replied to lunalight7's topic in Recommendations
I agree with Water of notre dame, and Chimera made my BF open the windows (all 4 of them) as soon as i entered. Jester is also a big wafting scent only you have to like sweet berries Bordello got me also a compliment from a co-worker, so I suppose it's a good one too. -
another gimp that I wouln't have ordered based on the notes but i am very happy the lab trew it in. Libertine evoces very romantic feelings in me, making me long for spring( while i usually hate spring/summer).It smells like the 16th century, and now they put me in a time machine and I am walking in the 21st century with the wrong perfume (like in those movies where they forgot the actor is wearing a digital watch while playing Alexander the Great ) What I smell is mostly roses and a faint hint of violet. It's about an hour now and it stays slill the same as when I put it on. Pleasant, friendly, soft, daytime
-
Good topic....now I know what to avoid. Black pearl is a hot beach scent more that a ocean/rocks/storm scent.
-
Envy is my spring scent, but that can also be because last spring holiday i took the imp with me and now Spring memories are locked in the scent Also: Water of Notre dame(mental note, need 5 ml soon) Sudha segara Katherine (innocent peach and orangeflower) Embalming Fluid Blue Moon
-
oh oh oh.....what a scent! What a masterpiece! I got this as a gimp from the lab a while ago and didn't give it much attention at first. I knew there was vetiver in the mix and smelling vetiver makes me not happy girl This morning I decided to add it in my carry box. In the bus to work I sniffed the imps I took and....Kweku Anansi makes my mouth begin to water, my eyes popped open and before I knew i doused myself with it. What a pity it's not released yet because it's worth a 10 ml. I get wood, fir, thyme and perhaps juniper and a hint of something nutty. It's a tiny bit like Tarot: The World. It last quite long and doesn't change much, only mellows a bit from spicy herbs to sweet herbs. ETA:I got a lease car for work and the people who had this car obvious where smokers. to make it bearable to drive in it I cleaned the ash trays, and dropped some Kweku Anansi in it, also smeared the weel with a few drops... It smell devine now every time the sum warms the car. It is a scent to keep you awake and focussed and its not disturding or heavy(even the BF complemented on it and didn't sneeze.. and you all know that means it GOOD:-))

Cairo and Spellbound are on my skin quite similar -
Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?
quinkel replied to Absinthe's topic in Recommendations
I second that!!! The Star is Spooky with limoen, but after the limoen fades the drydown is very similar -
This is good!!! It has jumped to my top 10 immediately. Warm, sweet coconut with Musk underneath. This is a decadent holiday in South France, St-Tropez, plage Kontiki, club 55. Old rich man drinking rum looking at girls in innimini bikini's pass by. Smelling of coconut suntan, sunkisses skin and... sex. Love love love

Frost moon has similarities with Blue moon and Cathode, but only in the bottle to my nose, on the skin it gets his own yummie identity. Snow White was exactly Dana O shee at first whif, and i was afraid because DoS doesn't last on my at all but luckely also Snow White turned out to be an Unique scent and Amazingly soft(even BF likes it and that's a major compliment!!) and Lasting -
So far Egg Nog has stayed somewhat behind on the other yule sweeties. On my skin it's to dense, sweet, and lays flat without doing much. It dried down in a sweet vanilia and last in that stage for almost all the day But it's pleasant and wearable, maybe good to layer with.
