BPAL Halloween Part II: Pickman Gallery

And here we have Part II of my massive Weenies haul from Deek's Decant.  If you missed it, you can check out Part I here.  Today we're getting in to the Pickman Gallery scents.  

As you can see, I ended up picking up six scents: A Witch Riding A Dragon, The Sorceress, The Witches Sabbath, Depart Pour Le Sabbat, La Femme De Satan and Portrait of an Unidentified Man as Mephistopheles, which is a mouth-full.  

BPAL Liliths and Halloween 2015 Part I

I went a little BPAL crazy this fall, I must admit. It wasn't my fault though. What was I supposed to do with ALL the Liliths AND the Weenies coming out all at once? I must say, I think I exercised quite a bit of restraint. There were at least a half a dozen other scents that I really wanted. The problem is I got so many scent this time that I'm breaking it into two separate posts. Today we're going to do the lone Black Phoenix Trading Post scent I picked up, the Liliths, the Weenies, and the Dead Leaves. 

This time my enabling was brought to you by Brittany of Deeks Decants. This was my first decant circle with her, and I've already gotten in on two more. She's easy to work with, answers any questions you have quickly, and I really like her labels. Along with the name of the scent and it's notes, the back features a mini picture of the label art. 

This one is Magnificent Autumn.

NAVAlloween Part I

I've wanted to try Nocturne Alchemy for a little bit, but I never got around to it.  Then I was lured in by another decant circle.  I like decant circles: I get to try new things without committing to full sizes.  Also instead of agonizing over the full catalog, it's like: "This is all you get and you only have X amount of time to pick shit.  Hurry up."  I need a deadline or I'll hem and haw for ages.  I missed out on the last NAVA circle, which had Gardenia Crimson.  When I saw this was up and "add ons are welcome, leave a note in the box!" on the form and that I could get Gardenia Crimson as a sample still, I was all in.  

Besides GC, I picked up Black Crystalline Fig, Cemetery Ivy, Graveyard Dirt, and White Zinfandel.

Haus of Gloi Spider Silk & Pumpkin Patch

Or That Time Mel Bought Stuff In A Swap And Promptly Forgot All About It.

Aw, man don't do that!  I'm writing them up right now!

This is really bad. I've been working my way through my rather large sample collection to A) work up a review of my BPAL imps and B) get rid of the ones that don't really work well or last long on me. In sorting through and reorganizing everything, I found two Haus of Gloi scents from last autumn that I don't remember getting, and in Pumpkin Patch's case, was still taped up from shipping. I'm guessing I got them in a swap sometime last winter and just forgot all about them.  I figure since the Fall collection is out now, and with Part 2 of the Halloween Release coming up on the 27th, I may as well throw these up real quick.

Sixteen92 Halloween 2015

Today we're going to get into the Halloween part of this quarter's Circle release... because that's the bag I opened first.  The theme for these five perfumes is famous witches and goddesses of witchcraft.  Very appropriate inspiration for Halloween.  And also because I still maintain that Claire is so good at Perfuming because of Witchcraft.

Unless you're in the Illuminati like Smelly Yeti, I suppose.
