Got this in a goodie bag from my Switch Witch...never would have thought to try it, since my immediate association was 'guy scent'. But I opened it up and went 'guy scent my a$$' and dabbed it on! I get all vanilla and amber, with a hint of the juniper to give it some tang. It smells absolutely yummers on me. A guy would have to pry it from my cold ded fingerses, he would.

I get a dark rose scent from this both in the imp and on me, without much else coming out. I was so looking forward to the other notes, the wine and sandalwood and patchouli in particular, but nothin' but rose happening so far. Still, it's pretty nice. I'll keep the imp, not sure if I'd want more.

I really wasn't expecting to like this one. I only got an imp for the name, because I begged for it back when I first joined the forum. In imp--interesting, hard to define. On--I tried it with some other things, and kept getting this lovely warm smell when I typed, and finally realized it was this! Woodsy vanilla are the main things I get. Now I come here & see folks saying it's very guy? I don't think it is on me, but will other people think so if they smell it on me? Maybe I shouldn't wear it after all. ETA...I put it on again last night...and decided I lovesss it.

I second F5. If you ever liked CK One, it reminds me of that, a little. Very light and crisp. Squirting Cucumber is another one that I think is good for uber hot weather. And April Fool is a new one that I like on warm days; the light floral really perks me up.

Hm, Dragons Milk, maybe? Or Underpants, if you have some! Paradise Misplaced + Upa Upa = THUD, btw.

I'm wearing Sailors Den today & noticed that on me it is reminiscent of Black Lace. (I know SD isn't exactly a GC, but hey, it's easier to get than BL. hehe)

Hm! (thinks, mentally sniffs) The Bond part I'm thinking Casanova, but the scuffed up part, maybe Calico Jack.

I love dragons and was so disappointed when the original DM didn't work on me but HOORAY, a second chance, with notes that may work better! In the bottle--both green and floral, if that makes sense, with a light musky note. On, it just blooms! I love how it floats around me. Clearly smellable but not overwhelming. Love it.

LP is a good bit sweeter than Underpants on me, which makes me like it less. Which one you prefer, if you have a preference, is going to depend on what they do with your body chemistry.

Wow, finally I found an ultra rare worthy of the hype. This is wonderful. I love sandalwood but it usually amps like crazy on me. Not this time--the vanilla and cream mellow it out, and the saffron seems to give the whole a little kick. Oooh!! And it laaaasts--one teensy swipe on my hand was still there hours later. I love my one lonely imp, and will be trolling teh intrenets for more.

I'm so awful with notes--I just know I like this! In the bottle it's wet greeny, with a hint of sharpness. The parsley and citrus, I think. On, it softens, and the floral and lightly fruity notes come out and blend in. Oooh! Lovely. So glad I took a chance on a bottle.

It smells glorious, for about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, then it goes buh bye. I have a bottle & am happy to have it, but not sure I want to invest any more $.

i figured this would be totally foody, too much so for me. But what a surprise! The spices in the rum predominate on me. The fruits dance around in the background doing arm rolls like the Pips, but the spices are Gladys singing lead. And it lasts. Yum! I need a bottle or 2.

I was so sure this would be THE tiki for me...but it smells like Smarties. Now, I love Smarties. But I do not want to smell like them. Fortunately, I have a friend at work who adores it, and will happily take it offa my hands. For $ that I can spend on Marae or Upa Upa.

Yum! Finally a Shunga that likes me! On me the citrus and ylang ylang are predominant, and they make a very cool combination. The other flowers sing backup, and if I huff my wrist I can catch just a hint of patchouli. Delish!

I got mine last night, but my review may be thin at the monent, since my nose is stopped up & I can't smell very accurately. That said, in the bottle I smell a crisp oceaniness, but not to the extent of other watery BPALs which I usually can't wear. On, I get the patchouli and rose, and a hint of the bay rum, which I was afraid would make it too guy for me to wear, but in reality...I think I like it. (My mom doesn't think it's too guy, and if she did, believe you me, she would say so. hehe) Will have to check again once the nose unstops fully. (blows nose...sorry)

I sniffed this in the imp and it was pure cedar. Nice, but not for me, I thought. Put some on. After a few minutes some interesting spicy notes started to emerge. Still lots of cedar. Very warm. Gender neutral, but not strictly guy smelling, to my nose. My mom even said it smelled good on me, and she is picky. lol. I didn't get the nasty smoke issue other people have reported, thankfully. On the whole, a pleasant surprise! I like.

Wintergreen? Really y'all? How weird. I get none of that at all. I'm another who doesn't go for foody scents, but this one works on me! It starts off very vanilla cream, but after just a few minutes a hint of something sharper or spicier peeks thru--the saffron, I assume. This is nice. Gonna have to order me a bottle, even if I have to wait a while for the backorder.

I don't get quite the melon hit others have but definitely fruity. Not overblown though. It blends fruity and flowery in an amazing way. Reminds me a bit of Kitsune-Tsuki, which makes sense, being an Asian-inspired blend. And K-T is one of my faves. This could be too. Lasts a good long while on me too. I already tracked down a bottle.

I had the same issue as dorothy humbird--I wasn't sure how the notes would work on me or if they would at all. But this stuff is lovely! The amber and musk blend beautifully with a hint of dragons blood, which I love. The honey, which I feared would mess the mess totally up, is behaving itself and not too sweet. YUM.

In the bottle, SANDALWOOD. Very like Anne Bonny on first sniff, but then hints of something more. I too thought it smelled kind of gender neutral. On, see above. Drydown--the rose is coming out to play now! Blends very nicely with the sandalwood. And as I sniff my arm now (about 2 hours after application) I catch a teeny whiff of patchouli. I was worried about overpowering cedar, but I don't smell it at all. No spices to speak of either. Mostly rose and sandalwood dancing. Me likee! BPAL rose rarely works on me so this makes me happy.

I'm terrible at identifying notes. That said...in the imp, my first thought was 'gender neutral, sort of'. But not the thought of 'guysmell' that I automatically get with some. On, I don't get much spice, just a warm sweetness, not overpowering. This lasts a nice long time and has good throw. I really like it! Must have a bottle or 2. ETA to amplify--on me this becomes a lovely light musk with a hint of spice and a teeny whiff of leather.

In imp: Too foody for me. On arm: well well, I have finally found something I amp. TEAK!!! Teak takes over everything. Alas. Another forumite suggested layering it with Loves Philosophy and using the cream note in it to balance this. Gonna give it a try, but otherwise, it's off to someone who will love it.

I got a frimp of Cthulhu and it smells like totally sexay guy to me! Has anybody tried it on the male of their choice?

Jai Mahal does go well with Shub, or Samhain. Masala and White Rabbit? Masala is my Villainess true luv. Have I ever even tried White Rabbit? (goes to look thru notes)
