BPAL samples

I bought some BPAL samples recently and the first batch of reviews is below. I tested everything on me and on paper, and if there were important differences, I've noted it.

In many cases these are scents I've tried before, about a dozen years ago when I was big into BPAL for a while. I wanted to see whether my changing body chemistry due to testosterone therapy has made a difference to how they smell on me. (Spoiler: sometimes the scent seems drastically different, but I don't know whether that's me, or a reformulation, or the fact that these are new samples and not the sometimes quite thoroughly aged ones I had before, or whether my tastes have just altered.)
