Shoggoth
An amorphous, radiant, incandescent scent. Ever changing, protoplasmic and primordial: white amber, green coconut meat, iris, palmarosa, Chinese peony, lime, water lily, snowdrop, muguet, lemongrass, osmanthus, wisteria, glassy musk, and hinoki.
In the vial: Cool and sharp and sweet. The lime and lemongrass come through strongest.
Wet: Mmm, lime. Reminds me of lemondrop candy, actually, all citrus and sugar.
Drydown: There's a whiff of the musk. Otherwise, still candy.
Dry: Lime candy all the way down. Very pretty and light, but I prefer the more complex lime in Villain.
Midnight Kiss
I found this description via google instead of the BPAL site. Let's see if it smells right.
Red musk, cocoa absolute, Nepalese amber, red sandalwood, aged patchouli, nicotiana, and blood wine.
In the vial: Boozy chocolate. That's the right description, all right.
Wet: Sweet sweet sweet! Definitely chocolate. That must be the patchouli making my nose itch. The rest are blurring into something amorphous and cloying. This is better on me than the other chocolate scents I've tried, though.
Drydown: The patchouli and musk are fading now. Here comes the amber. This smells like candy too, or...something. I'm having a simile failure.
Dry: Very ambery now, and very sweet. It doesn't smell like vanilla, but it has a similar heady sweetness. Too sweet for me, but it doesn't smell bad at all. Maybe I like Nepalese amber more than the regular sort.
Next on the list, Serpent's Kiss, Pannychis, and Utrennyaya
