I tend to like vanilla and amber scents (the Pure Instinct I wear comes out as a musky vanilla on me and I adore it) yet also very crisp scents. My favorite two scents from B&BW are cucumber melon and the citrus and basil.
White Rabbit and Pure Instinct blend like a dream on me. :)

And I just noticed that they don't take Paypal, and am now very sad indeed.

I am so ridiculously tempted by this... I'm trying to convince my roommate to go in on 6 imps with me, because I can't really afford to do it myself. So excited!

Be careful... it's really a rabbit hole... ;)

(BPAL's White Rabbit has become my signature scent. I adore it.)

Okay, I tried to resist, but I CAN'T! Here's my list, trying to narrow it down to no more than 6, maybe less:

Ars Amatoria
O
Bordello
Brisingamen
Queen of Sheba

Ars Draconis
Dragon's Milk

Bewitching Brews
Bewitched
Dana O'Shee
Hymn to Prosperine
Jack

Alice in Wonderland
Eat Me

Sin & Salvation
Jailbait
Vice

Wanderlust
Glasgow
Hollywood Babylon
Lyonesse

I'm definitely getting O and Lyonesse. I have to eliminate some of the others... grumblegrumble!

Great choices! Between me and my co-workers (who are also now addicted) I've tried quite a few of those (I think you and I have similar tastes). O and Lyonesse are in my personal top 5, and Lyonesse might just have become my signature scent. It's gorgeous. As for your others, I'll give feedback on the ones I've tried:
Bordello - both my boss and my co-worker have bottles of this. I have resisted on ordering it myself, but only because I already get to smell it so much. It's lovely.
Dragon's Milk - I really like this one, but Matt says it's "typically perfume-y". I'm not sure why he thinks that, I find the vanilla adds a mellow softness to the Dragon's Blood (which can be rather overpowering, IMO).
Bewitched - blackberries are definitely the strongest note in this one. There is a touch of a woodsy-ness to it.
Dana O'Shee - My co-worker adores this, but I can't stand it. I hate almond and all I can smell when she wears this is almond extract.
Eat Me - OMG this is one of my newest favourites and I wish I had ordered it back in January so I could have been wearing it for months. It's so delicious. I love foodie scents, and this is the epitome of YUMMY.
Jailbait I was frimped this, and I'll probably return the favour to someone (if you decide you really want it, I'll send it to you). It smells exactly like Hubba Bubba bubble gum. The pink kind. I put it on and while it was fun and happy and bright, I felt that I smelled like a little girl and that was kind of freaky.
Vice - this one is awesome. Pretty clearly (dark) chocolate and cherry. Not fake or candied cherry but real, ripe, juicy cherry.
Glasgow - I love it when my co-worker wears this as it's so light and breezy and gorgeous. The heather is strongest, from my perception.

Well, I think you should order both Atomic Luau Lounge scents that you want before the full moon when they're discontinued. I think that should be a sure thing.

I haven't tried a lot of your short list, but here's my take:
Bordello - see above, I reviewed this for Paviche
Snake Oil - I wasn't sure about this one when I first ordered it, but it really does get better with age. Vanilla and sexy spices. A touch incence-y. I really like it.
Vixen - I got this one as a frimp, and wasn't sure what to make of it. It's heavy on the patchouli at first, but it softens and mellows with time on skin. Also sweetens a touch.
Bon Vivant - I know how much you like Polynesian Pop, I think you need to order this one. It's bright and bubbly and sweet strawberries.
Schrodinger's Cat - citrus and mint on me, very clean and bright. I quite enjoy it!
Juliet - I wish I still had this to send to you, but I swapped it out. It's nice for people who like lily, but it was not for me.
The Dormouse - GET THIS. Seriously. It's like a table has been set out in a garden for high tea with several different types of tea options, and a giant bouquet of peonies decorating the middle of the table. It's so gorgeous.
Vice - see above.

That's all I can help with, but I hope I was at least a little bit helpful :) I love BPAL, and for that I place the thanks entirely on you!

I haven't tried any of the ones you want, Allie. But I think you should get Screeching Parrot so you can tell me how it smells. :D

I really need to put another order together...

Thanks girls! You're both a lot of help and no help at all (I want to order EVERYTHING lol)

Definitely getting my 5ml of Polynesian Pop before it's discontinued, I want it as one of my summer scents.

ugh, I'll think more on it later. :rofl1:

Nilly covered a few, but I've tried these four as well!

Personally I wasn't a fan of Dragon's Milk, but sugary sweet scents like vanilla and honey don't fare well on my skin, they go rotten... it smelled great on a few other people I tried it on. I wound up frimping JessLough with it.

Jack is delicious. Fall sweet baking. Pumpkin bread, pies, fresh clove and nutmeg. Very sweet on me in a good way, like fresh sugared pumpkin.

Eat Me was another one that didn't work on me because of the sugar-sweet scent, but smelled fabulous on others. It's hard not to chew on the person. ;)

Glasgow is a wonderful, crisp scent. Seems to commonly dry as primarily a heather scent, though I could smell the berry more strongly on one friend.
