In the bottle: yummy! I have never had egg nogg (the drink), but this smells devine.

sweet, creamy, touch of rum.

 

wet: Exactly the same as in the bottle.

 

dry: Stays really close to the same scent on as in the bottle. Very sweet and creamy definitly a keeper for me!

I was hesitant to try this one. Florals are not my thing. Well I thoght they weren't. In the bottle rose definitely rose but not a fake light rose smell. It smelled like a rose petal if you pluck it off and place it up againts your nose and inhale.

 

wet: Still very rosey it wafts up around me wrapping me in a rose petal cacoon.

 

dry down: I am really liking this scent which frankly surprises me. The "throw" is roses, but if I sniff my wrist i smell amber i don't get a lot of the musky smell which is good as I am not much of a musk kinda girl. This oil is masterfully blended and a gorgeous gorgeous scent.

in the bottle: wow ve4ry sweet and fruity i am not too into the fruity scents but the plum is a beautiful smell

 

wet: wow i really smell the plum and is it maybe rose? a floral faintly sitting in the background.

 

dry this becomes very beautiful, it is very well balanced between the plum and floral and a wee bit of something is it a wine? i as i said am not usually into the fruity stuff i i could wear this one....def will try again and if not it will be a gorgeous room scent

i gave kod to my dh and it smells fabu i have no clue exactly what chypre is but whatever the notes certainly smell clean, and handsom on him (he liked it too) i could detect a faint citrussy smell but didn't really smell the musk...generally i am not a huge musk fan but this was a great scent musk and all

hmmmmm in the bottle i smell....nothing???? hold bottle up to light yes there is oil in there sniff again...nope nothing....try it on to see if somehow water is in my bottle

 

wet...nada

 

dry...very very soft faint something...hint of floral? and yes soem tape, maybe the coconut but the whole scent is so very very faint.

 

gonna try it again in a few days and see if my nose is just funny right now

 

edit: i wore snow what thru the night and i must say the scent "grew" it was a soft fluffy scent not sure of teh notes but i smelled it all night a couple times it woke me up...so it does have a fragrance but very odd how it is late in showing up...the opposite of alot of oils that show up and fade i am thinking of giving it to my dd as i like a "heavier" scent but it was beautiful

hellcatn ahhhh my sweet hell cat

 

in the bottle: all butter cream and hazelnut sweetness i actually sigh aloud.

we:t hello almonds very very strong almonds...where is the lovely sweetness of the butter cream where is the rum?? almonds r nice but i wanted them mixed w/ the other notes.

 

dry: ahhhh nice

everything is blending together i wiff rummy spiciness and then buttercream sweetness and the almonds they seem to take turns catching my senses and i love this fragrance

 

i see def a 5ml possibly a 10

loved this one so much

 

i can't really pick out the individual notes but it smells very home to me if that makes sense it is spicey and sweet and basically lovely

wow. not quite what i expected.

 

in the bottle CHERRIES specifically cherry coughdrops.

 

wet: still cherries but more or a swisher sweets tobacco cherry smell

 

dry: the swisher sweets smell hangs for a while then the cherry settles down and i can smell a brandy? and a waft of smoke it takes a while to get to a point that i really really like but all in all glad i have it

Maybe a Mod could edit this topic, or the "subhead," or even the first post, so new people aren't confused when they see it?

thanks i will keep my eye open...sorry to drag up a moot thread

No need to be sorry at all! That was really my point -- I don't want anyone to get confused seeing this thread, when the Single Notes don't appear on the Lab's site anymore.

 

And, as others pointed out, many people do have various single notes. You might want to post in the "Wanted" forum if there are certain ones you especially want.

thanks i guess my reply came out a bit weird i didn't mean it like bad

thanks i will keep my eye open...sorry to drag up a moot thread

are single notes still available? i have not seen any, but it would really help me to defrintiate between a few. amber is one i am confused abt. and frangipani i don't know there r a few i have no clue abt anyway i ramble...

i adore tintagel and it has a leathery background note it is in my top 3 favs

i just traded for this and am very glad i did.

 

in the imp

almonds all the way w/ maybe a wee hint of rum

 

wet

cherry/almond notes

 

drying

spices. some cloves for sure and a bit of sassafrass do not smell the rum which was why i really wanted it i love the rum notes. i am gonna wear it a while and update how it goes but for now i will prob be getting a 5ml because i do like it...oh and i am not getting a masculine feel from this at all...but then i tend to like things on me that alot of ppl think r masculine

i wish i was more familiar w/ the notes in her besides pachouli

 

first out of the bottle wow it is strong doesn't taek a lot.

 

on dry down it i slovely and different from anything i have ever smelled the patchouli is in the background i can barely make it out but this lovely golden smell is wafting around me i don't know which note it is but to me it seems very intertwined and i loove it

 

5ml of it when the 2 imps r gone

in the bottle i smell snickerdoodle dogh...yum

 

wet wow hello cinnamon and spice

 

dry ahhhhhhhh i smell the dough wonderful floury and buttery w/ a slight brush of sugar and cinnamon this is a wonderful scent so happy i got it

hmmm i was a bit weary of this one after readong abt the "earthiness" of it. i opened the imp.....JUNIPER jumps right out at me...ok i like the woody smells so i will try it.

 

wet very juniper no earth no floral just juniper.

 

dry ahhhhh roses and pachouli i am learning that i adore pachouli i have had this on a few hrs and i think i am gonna wear it tomorrow and if i still must keep sniffing myself then i am getting a 5ml w/ my lunacy order

hmmm in bottle patchouli...i was like wow inscence

 

wet def inscence...wasn't sure i liked it considered trading it.

 

then i tried it the second time and omg thank goodness i did it is now my fav scent...i smell it now and am like why did i not smell everything else? there is so much more depth then inscence i smell the apples, the spice, the leaves i shall lovethis smell forever

in the bottle i smelled smoke...not much else just kind of a cig smoke butalas was gonna try it anyway

 

wet still smoke...odd

 

dry- after abt 30 min omg this is beautiful i do not smell cocoa at all i do smell thye figs and woody smell maybe teak? it is very dark ad mature and became one fo my top 3 i already ordered a 5ml justgoes to show try the oil on do not judge by the in the bottle smell or i would have missed this lovely lovely scent

queen how i love thee, it has become one of my top 3 scents, i am reaching for it as often as snake oil and illustrated woman.

 

in the bottle it is woody and musky, two of my faves.

 

wet a lot muskier, but not just musk, a sexy musk blend that has me sniffing myself.

 

it dries, and softens greatly, it is dead on sexy. in the family w/ o, snake oil, and illustrated woman, powerful, sexy, and strong, not scent strong but i am strong kind of scent. this is my power scent, the one i know will bring me up when i feel down.

hmmm in the bottle ludens cherry cough drops

 

wet still smelling cough drops

 

dry smells like chloreseptic

 

off for trade

totally weird i am wondering if i tried the wrong imp it smells like cat on me more specifically cat pee on a rose bush...i couln't wash it off either even w/ hot water and soap i think i have some quality that makes animal scents stronger musks go funky and now whatever "cat essence" went wacky sigh...i'll stick w/ my alchol scents and sweets

in the bottle: mint

wet: mint and citrusy

dry:

still minty but not overbearing, citrus wafting up occassionally but something clean and fresh i usually like a darker heavier scent but this was so beautiful i could see myself wearing it otu to dinner in the summer at the shore...when it is available i would buy a big bottle

Vanilla was the first thing I caught when I smelled it right out of the bottle, and for a minute I was a little unnerved because I thought it seemed like pure vanilla to me, as in the extract. I wasn't sure I wanted to smell like vanilla all day, lol.

Then I put it on. Oh. My. Goodness. It went from vanilla to SEX in about 10 seconds flat!!

It seems like there HAS to be some kind of pheromone in here, a musk, some kind of weird combination of DNA, something that totally gives it that scent of pure sex. 

Amazing. Of all the scents I've tried, this one was the biggest surprise for me. I definitely see a 10mL bottle in my future.

whew i was beginning to think myself crazy...i didn't get any honey vanillas smells (don't know what amber smells like ) i got heavy heavy musky sexy...not even fresh sex but the next day i need to shower sex i had to wash it off it was makin me nauseous. bummer i wanted to like it so much...i wonder if my chemistry magnifies musks?

eta: I just tried o again and it was not nearly as skanky I literally hated it teh first time, but now it is not so bad, not top ten smell but I can wear it, must have been wonky hormone day last time. Anyway I *can* smell the vanilla now, I do not get alot of amber, it is vanilla musk w/ a touch of honey. not too bad now.

edit again: i think o is one of those oils that slowly win you over, i now have a 5ml and wear it to bed everynight, it is so comforting and loving, the smell is not at all what i first thought it was, either i have matured and become familiar w/ notes a bit more, or someone has hypnotized me either way i love o, those of you who dislike it on first try give it another shot or 3 it is amazing how it changed.

i am only now starting on the bpal journey. i have quite a few imps from a friend and fell head over heels for tintagel what r some similar scents i may wanna get imps of? tia

this was the second bpal fragrance i tried and i loooved it

 

in the bottle smelled very sweet and faintly like cotton candy being spun

 

wet still smelled of cotton candy but w/ something else i can't quite place possibly the vanilla maybe a vanilla cotton candy

 

as it dried i started falling in love it just got better and better the vanilla started to shine thru but def didn't cancel out the dragon's blood it was a beautiful dance and i just adored participating as a bystander. my dh didn't like it as much as dragons tears but he liked it too. we went in the hot tub and even our heavily chlorinated jacuzzi didn't remove the smell i smelled it all night and even into the morning it gave me luciously beautiful dreams def a 5 ml scent for me

 

edit because i spelled the teh twice and didn't want to annoy anyone
