    The Phantom Calliope

    Marry me, bottle. Truly. Okay, I'd bought a third of a bottle off of a forum member because I wasn't sure if it'd like me. I put some on and I die for it. Truly, okay.. My favorite smell in the WHOLE world is my Dark Candles candle in "Haunted House," it is bliss to me, I want to smell like it all the time, I love it. This is, on me, the BPAL equivalent with a hint of cherry. I don't know why, but it smells exactly like it and I LOVE that. MUST stock up on this, because really, it's heaven in a bottle. It's what I've wanted in a long, long while - and the throw is incredible.

    Scent for Halloween?

    I might go for Shango during the day and switch to Swank at night, but I don't know..

    Midway

    (This review is for Midway: Resurrected.) This was the last oil I tested out the day I got my box in the mail, because it was the one I was counting on to sweep off my feet and I wanted to save the best for last. I dipped the toothpick in, slathered on my arm, and before I could put the toothpick down or the cap back on the bottle, I wanted to drop everything and chew my arm off. I get funnel cake and caramel apple at first whiff. When it settles down, I get the cotton candy and salty taffy notes. It's delicious, it's warm, it's my favorite BPAL yet. It's the first one I've felt so crazy about that I wanted to dance around the room. It's also the first one I've wanted to hoard, and of course it's a LE..

    Fruitcake recommendations

    Black Phoenix goes straight cherry-cola on me (and I love it like that) but it's nowhere near what Fruitcake is on me. Fruitcake, on me, smells a lot like spiced wine. I'm thisclose to begging my boyfriend for his imp, 'cause he didn't like it on him. (He only got cherry - nothing else.)

    The Unicorn

    Uber-yummy, hello! At first, this smelled TOO floral on me - I was a bit disappointed because I've loved every other scent I've tried from Mad Tea Party. I moved on to testing other fragrances and then it was back to sniffing this one.. and wow. Wow wow wow. I've never had a fragrance transform so wonderfully on me before. It's perfect. It's sweet and relaxing and magical. Everything magpiedee says is dead on. LOVE THIS ONE!

    Phantom

    In vial: Definitely ylang ylang, very strong. Kinda unnerving. Wet: VERY rose - nearly pure rose, just a touch of myrrh. Dry-down: Rose and then ylang ylang in the same sniff, then back to rose again. Very complex.

    Rosalind

    In the vial: Very berry scented, but without being too much like a bag of Lifesavers. Very fresh, like rolling in a meadow. Wet: Definitely very grassy, with hardly any berry. Dry-down: Perfect mix of grass and berries and floral. It reminds me of when I was younger, playing in a field across from my great-aunt's house with a friend - the perfect adult scent to put to a great childhood memory. Really do love this.

    Olokun

    In the bottle, this smells like fresh cut grass. When first applied, it's a soft aquatic - like Lightning, but less crisp. Once it's dried, it smells like Lightning's darker cousin. It reminds me of the air right after Hurricane Rita came through this area a few years ago - remnants of distress with a little touch of "things are looking up."

    Thirteen (13): July 2007

    Wet, this is very chocolatey - a lot like Bliss. Once it's dry, it's still very chocolatey, but with a perfect dose of clove. After about 5 minutes, it's still chocolate and clove, with a very very soft bit of peach. About an hour later, it smells like clove and peach - delicious the whole way through.

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    Well here is a pic of the old King Cobra Label next to an imp of Anaconda Thank you! That answers my question exactly.

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    Just curious - how big are the bottles (inches, in relation to imps, etc)? I've got 3 on their way to me but none of them have made it yet, and curiousity's getting to me.

    Drink Me

    I nearly fainted in happiness when I smelled this. It smells so much like a mix of buttered toast and my mom's coffee cake, with a perfect spike of cherry. Officially my current favorite BPAL scent.

    The Caterpillar

    This smell reminds me a bit of shopping for xmas trees, mossy and clean, sweet but with a punch. I can't stop smelling it. Definitely 5ML-worthy.

    Versailles

    This really does smell like I imagine Versailles would smell! It's so warm and sweet and romantic. I don't LOVE it, but I do really like it.

    Rome

    Very soft, but I definitely smell all of the notes individually. It's a bit too green for me, but I do really like it. I'll most likely keep imps, but not go for a bottle.

    Moscow

    I can't smell a tangerine at all - it's all floral, and too much so. This reminds me of my mom's old perfumes from the 80's, way way way too strong for me.
