What do bottles and labels look like?

What do the Novel Ideas For Secret Amusements bottles look like? Is it the full picture as linked to on the Salon page, or a section of the images?

 

 

I uploaded a group pick of the whole series into the community gallery

You're welcome! And for the sake of the set I posted group shots of the Love Poems and the Revisted blends as well.

 

I'm still hoping to see the other 2 Smut 08 labels. I have 2 but apparently there are 4.

[steelxrose]

I agree. If someone would be kind enough to upload some of them as well. I can upload Urania.

 

Re: Muses

 

I have all of them, one of my "to do" list items is to take photos and upload them. I was looking through the photos the other day and saw a of bottles in general bunch missing that I can add.

 

Thank you in advance!

noobie question.... I have bought several bottles off of ebay and some are in amber bottles and others in blue bottles with glass wands in the lids. Is there a pattern to these such as date or LE/GC ?

[naeelah]

The lab used to use different colors of bottles, but it looks like they switched to all amber by 2006. So if you have a cobalt bottle, that just means your bottle came from 2005 or earlier.

 

I'm not the best authority on this, but afaik, both GC and LE came in cobalt bottles. I wasn't buying BPAL back then, but as far as I gather, whether you get cobalt or not doesn't mean anything, it's just the luck of the draw.

I just noticed my first bottle of Rose Red 2007 has a different label than the *cough* 6 following ones.

 

Weird.

 

The 2007 Yules all came in two different labels: a parchment label and a picture label. The parchment labels were all very similar, the picture labels completely different and geared towards the individual scents' themes.

Does anyone have a picture of the Parentalia label? Someone mentioned it's pretty and I don't think anyone on this thread posted a pic of that one.

Anybody want to post pics of Suagr Moon and Mort de Cesar? I got my bottles today and I love the artwork, especially the Sugar Moon. I tried to get a picture, but my camera is really old and I can't seem to get a decent close up shot.

[Josh]

I'd love to see the label art for Hunger, anyone?

[Rheliwen]

Hunger will have a regular GC label, unless they have recently been changed.

And Hanami! I'd like to see all the new ones.

 

If anyone is desperate to see Sugar Moon, someone's got a bottle on eBay. (Not me! I just noticed the cool label. )

ooh! those are lovely! Thanks!!!

[portalkat]

Oh, thanks Tramp.......Hanami is so pretty!

This just made me realize that every bottle I own is a LE blend. I presume GC bottles all look like Snake Oil's label? The aged look with carnival-esque font type?

No, Snake Oil has a different label design than most of the other GCs. The regular catalog labels look like the middle bottle in this picture: http://www.bpal.org/index.php?autocom=gall...si&img=1533

 

Rappaccini's Garden, Carnaval Diabolique, A Picnic in Arkham and a couple other sections (as well as a few random blends like Schrodinger's Cat and Snake Oil) have different labels, but most GC labels look like the one in that picture.

What Delirium 1009 said

 

ooh, and the Ars Draconis collection also have a different label.

Hmm sorry if this is a old thread but I have a question about the samples. Do they come in small bottles and does anyone of a picture of them? I

 

just placed my first order about a week ago and I can not wait to get them! I ordered a sample of blood kiss, Jailbait and a bottle of Glutony.

 

I was just wondering what they looked like.

Eh? I bought Samhain in January from the lab's ebay auction and it came in a cobalt bottle. That makes it 2005 samhain? I hadn't smelled it previously. Hmmmmmmm.

[twilighteyes]

Ok, I uploaded photos of all of my bottles (well, most) to flickr. When I get around to resizing them, I'll put them in the gallery here.
