A gentle white scent, breezes laced with the scent of springtime blooms and citrus. Lemon, lemon verbena, neroli, white musk, white florals, white sandalwood, China musk, bergamot and a drop of vanilla. When dried, Zephyr smells like erotic powder on my skin. It's so light though, I have to sniff my wrists to pick up any scent. It is okay, but I don't like it as much or better than my current favorites. I could see this smelling amazing on the right person though! Verdict: Off to the swap/sell pile.

Bengal smells like thick syrup honey, made from spicy flowers. It isn't bad - just not my type of scent. It also faded really fast on my skin.

It starts off smelling like musk with some sweet sugary scent in the background - but then thirty minutes later it is pure incense on my skin. I don't think I would try this one again.

Bread and Butterfly morphs a lot on my skin. This is my second time trying it on and both times my skin keeps turning it into a soapy scent. I smell like one of those single bar soaps from a natural market place. It's very light, not much throw. Overall, it isn't bad but not what I'm looking for in a perfume oil.

On my skin, the incense completely takes over every other ingredient. Not for me, though I'm sure someone else might enjoy it.

Tamora started off pretty nice but in less than an hour turned to a 'play-dough mixed with powder' scent on my skin. I really wanted this one to work.

On my skin this smells like chocolate cake. About an hour later a berry scent shows up, so the chocolate cake now has raspberry frosting. It doesn't have much throw. Cute scent, but I'm not sure I would wear it again.

On my skin, Eat Me smells like someone made a pie filling from apricots or nectarines. I like it but don't love it enough to order a full bottle.

I wanted to love this scent, but it's just not for me. On my skin it has a very strong/high pitched flower scent mixed with baby powder. Bummer! Verdict: Off to the swap/sale pile.

I recently got ahold of a 2007 bottle of Midway (Resurrected). I like it, it smells like a mix of Sticky Pillowcase and possibly Yule Cookies together (or another buttery/brown sugar scent). Downside is - it doesn't have much throw and doesn't last long. I could barely smell it on my skin at the end of the day. Verdict: I like it and will probably use the rest of the bottle but not purchase again.

Yule Cookies was sweet/candy-ish on me and I liked it because something in it reminded me of Dorian. So on day two I put Yule Cookies on one arm and Dorian on the other arm. My husband chose Dorian as the winner. If you like to own sweet and foodie scents, you might like this one. If you like Dorian and want something different yet familiar, you might like this scent. Verdict - I'll try this one more time but it will probably end up in the sell/trade pile.

I just got ahold of a bottle from 2009. In Bottle - Yeowza, not for me. I couldn't figure out why my nose was so offended, but there is a sharp smell that I really dislike. Dry - It morphs into something pleasant. I kinda like it, but will have to try it again to determine if it's a keeper. Verdict - I finally figured out why I don't like the in-bottle scent. I hadn't realized before that it had coffee beans in the list. I am definitely a tea girl and not a coffee drinker (thankfully, the coffee bean disappears quickly when applied).

I just got ahold of a bottle from 2006. In Bottle - Smells like yummy buttery pumpkin pie with spices. Dry - My skin quickly turns it into spicy baby powder. All the buttery pumpkin goodness has disappeared. Verdict - I just bought a necklace diffuser and will try it in that. Most likely it will go into the swap/sell pile though. Bummer!

I grew up in the south with a huge pecan tree in my front yard. As a kid, I was used to cracking my own pecans and eating them fresh off that tree, so I'm sure you'll understand what a disappointment this scent was to me. Wet - I'm getting some light pecan but mostly getting lots of dough and flour, but it's the raw pre-baked form and not the baked/crispy/buttery form that I had hoped for. Dry - It doesn't live up to what I was hoping for, it never gets to the point where it smells like buttery pecans, it's more like a scratch-and-sniff sticker muted down version. I also get zero pumpkin in this. Verdict - If pecan pie is your favorite pie, you will likely be let down by this oil. I also didn't smell any pumpkin, sadly. Off to the swap/sell pile.

Dorian is one of those scents that gets better with age! When I do a side-by-side comparison of my six year old bottle with the new bottle, the aged one wins easily. In bottle - lemon, musk, and sugar. Dry - This smells amazing on me which is why it's my second favorite Bpal scent. Verdict - I will always own a bottle of Dorian. Definitely a keeper for life.

I purchased my first Lady Una bottle six years ago at a Bpal meet up, she had owned it for a while. In bottle - Smells delicate and gorgeous. On skin - Amaaaaaazing. I recently purchased a new bottle directly from Bpal and it doesn't even smell the same. When I do a side-by-side comparison of the two Lady Una bottles, the new one smells off. Verdict - If you do not like this scent and you have a new bottle, hold off on swapping/selling it for a year. This scent definitely gets better with age! This is my third favorite Bpal scent, but I can see why some reviewers don't like it if they sampled a new bottle (I'm am seriously considering buying multiple bottles so I'll always have an aged one around).

First try - I was initially disappointed because it didn't smell how I thought it would. I also had no self control and had opened and sniffed every bottle/imp from the package I had just received from Bpal, so my palate was overloaded with scents. Second try - After trying it on a different day, yeah, Bewitched smells pretty good like berries and sugar. I love every single place this oil takes me. Verdict - I am so happy that I gave it another chance and didn't immediately swap it. I have been wearing this scent for SIX YEARS now and it is still my favorite. It is a keeper for life. People compliment me when I wear this.

In Bottle - It smells exactly like Black Cherry Kool-Aid, yum! It's always good when something reminds you of your childhood. Dry - I like this scent, it turns from childhood drink to something more mature. Verdict - Keeper. It also gets better with age. I have a six year old bottle and a brand new one - the older one smells deeper and more rich.

I have tried this scent multiple times and I do not like it at all. I don't like how it smells in the bottle and I don't like how it smells on my skin. But to be fair, I will say that I let two guys I know try it. Somehow it smelled amazing on both of them (one ended up buying a full bottle). Verdict - Personally, I will forever think of this as a masculine scent. I'm sure it smells great on women as well, but if you try this scent and don't enjoy it, pass it on to a guy!

In Bottle - It smells like mandarin oranges and sugar. I like it. Dry - Somehow it loses it's scent the moment I put it on my skin and even hours later it's very muted and has no power. It definitely smells better in the imp. Verdict - I will not be buying a bottle or keeping the imp because there are other scents I like much more. I really wanted to love Carnal because it smells so good in the imp.

Wet: Sweet buttery cakes, yum! Dry: Tobacco. Totally reminds me of the cigars my pawpaw smoked. I was surprised to find out that it has no tobacco in the ingredients, after wearing for first time. So I tried it again today, and yep, something in it turns to cigars on me.

Morocco is exactly what I look for in a musk and it's definitely big-bottle worthy. It's a very soft, sweet, and sexy scent.

Jack is so amazing and I love this scent. I need to find a drink that tastes as good as Jack smells! My only issue is after the dry down - it starts to lose the sweetness and turns into more of a spiced candle. But I will make this into a spray to use on my clothes, so really no issues!

This one started off sickly sweet. But, after a few hours it died down to a scent resembling black cherry kool-aid, which I kinda liked. I'm not sure if it's worth wearing a scent that you can only enjoy the last couple hours of though. I might try this one again before I decide what to do with it.

Another scent that I love. Carnal is now one of my favorites. It smells like spiced pear on me, though I do pick up some of the mandarin as well. Just yummy.
