I've looked over the BPAL site and drawn up a list of scents I think I'm interested in! There's a lot, so I've grouped them by the category they fell under on the BPAL page.
I also came up with a general outline of stuff I like and dislike when it comes to smells, because I know I'm picky and I also know there's no way I could perfectly predict which combinations I might like based solely on a written description! :D

General Guidelines for Advice-Givers
These are Right Out: Musk, Leather/Tobacco, Sweet Foods (honey, milk, chocolate, wine, cinnamon, vanilla), very sweet florals (e.g. gardenia, heavy rose)

These are Nice: Evergreens, woods, greenery (heather, sage, etc.), light florals, herbals, "sharp" foods (citrus, ginger, tea, mint, pepper, spices), incenses, rain, sea, paper/parchment


Scents I Tentatively Think I'd Like:
Rappacini's Garden - Baneberry, Black Hellebore, Belladonna, Black Lotus, Moon Rose, Destroying Angel
Picknic in Arkham - Arkham, Miskatonic U, Y'ha-Nthlei
Wanderlust - Amsterdam, Delphi, Dublin, Kostnice, Mag Mell, Rome, Sri Lanka, Vinland
Illyrica - Lear, Apothecary, Antony
Mad Tea Party - Dormouse, Tweedledee, Tweedledum
Excolo - Coyote, Anubis, Hades, Nemesis, Nuit, Old Scratch, Pele, Calliope, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, any of the Kindly Ones, Utrennyaya


Several of the Limited Editions also sounded nice; but since one can't order samples, I know it's unlikely I'll get any. :D If, however, you did order any of these (Yuki-Onna, Carpathian Mountains, Jonathan Harker, Midnight Mass, Snow Maiden) and didn't like them after all, the same applies -- I'd love the chance to try it, and would certainly pass it along if it turned out I didn't like it either.

Thank you all SO much!
