Booze and chocolate wet. Booze and hot chocolate dry. Doesn't morph much....which is perfectly all right, because it smells delicious just the way it is.

In the imp: cinnamon toast Wet: warm cinnamon toast Dry: Oh, THERE'S the honeysuckle. This one is really nice and calming and comforting. Doesn't knock me out enough to get the big bottle, but I do like it.

I'm an obsessive gardener, so this sounded perfect. In the imp: fresh, green, a bit floral On me, wet: something vaguely reminiscent of snap beans with herbs growing nearby On me, about half dry: This smells disturbingly like Sharpie. WTF? Dry: The eau de Sharpie is blessedly gone, and this has become a light, beautiful scent -- a veggie patch with herbs on a warm, sunny summer day after a rainshower. Finally, I'm getting a bit of tomato leaf and squash blossom. Awesome scent, but my skin eats it like crazy. I wish it lasted longer.

In the imp, this smells disturbingly like Zest soap. I haven't quite worked up the nerve to try it yet.... I don't particularly *want* to smell like Zest, and most of BPAL's scents do not let go of my skin without a fight.

This is a gorgeous, slightly smoky warm beeswax with a bit of vanilla & honey lurking in the shadows. Lasts all day on me... I am in love with this one. I wear it frequently, and someone at work told me, "Your perfume smells beautiful....and expensive. I couldn't afford you." LOL

I bought this one when it came out and tried it a couple times, but stuck it in my BPAL box because I was in absolute love with Leanan Sidhe at the time. I put it on again a few days ago on a whim, and I could not stop smiling. This smells *exactly* like the inside of a couple of the witch shops in Salem, and the association is so strong that if I close my eyes, I'm back there.

In the bottle: Cherry gummy bears and Red Hots. On, wet: this is what would probably happen if cherry gummy bears and Cinnamon Bears mated. On, dry: Lilacs and roses, with a spicy undertone. There is no cinnamon listed in this blend. WHY am I getting cinnamon? For that matter, there's no cherry or eau de cherry gummy bear, either, so... yeah, I'm baffled. After all that, though, I ended up liking it. I love lilacs, and there are definitely not enough scents around containing that note.

In the bottle: grassy and slightly astringent Wet, on: overpowering, perfumey, oh gods, what have I gotten myself into? Dry: gorgeous sunshine-warmed hay, it smells sunny, if that's possible. Verdict: LOVE. This is a happy scent REALLY glad I waited through that minute-long horrible perfume phase. It was definitely worth it.

Big, gorgeous, rained-on rose. Also known as "how I got my mom hooked on BPAL". Gotta love it.

My nose turns this alternately into strawberry jam and strawberry bubblegum... not a bad thing at all, because every time I smell it, it makes me smile... just strange, because I see no strawberry mentioned.

Wet: Warm peach cobbler, and I don't know how that happened. Dry: Much better, because while warm peach cobbler is lovely, I don't particularly fancy smelling like it. It becomes more of a vanilla-amber with a touch of peachiness. I'm loving these Shakespeare scents. Side note: This is especially gorgeous when used after showering with The Body Shop's Runny Honey.

I am madly in love with this scent, and have been from the beginning. It was one of the first I got when I discovered BPAL. Every time I put it on, like today, I'm reminded why I love it... the gorgeous, deep wine & berries scent, great throw, lasts forever... and I'm almost out. I was going to order more last night, but damn it, Snow, Glass, Apples thwarted my intentions. Next order -- Lady M. This one and Tintagel are similar...and of course, I adore both.

Imp: Froot Loops. I haven't quite worked up the courage to actually put it on yet. I don't exactly fancy smelling like Froot Loops.

I smell like a bonfire in an evergreen forest. This is a very, very good thing. Right now I'm too BPAL-stoned to elaborate further.

I'm not going to make any effort to pick out individual notes in this. All I know is that on me, it becomes all kinds of gorgeous. Word of warning, if you wear this stuff and someone tells you that you smell fabulous and asks what you're wearing, you're going to get some pretty strange looks when you tell them.
