In bottle: In the bottle Pink Lace smells like a cool version of Strawberry Moon with a bit more edge to it. I decided to do a review of the scent because I rarely do reviews as well as the fact that the other reviews I have read nearly scared me away from trying it in the first place. Many people have described it as a synthetic scent but I have to say that unlike The Kingdom of Sweets and Zombie Apocalypse this is not a synthetic scent in my opinion. On skin: This scent starts out as a very jelly-candy scent. But after a few minutes it fades to a more strawberry blended with cherry. At first I thought it was very much alike NGAGL5 but it really is not very much alike it anyway. I love NGALG5 because it is kind of sour in a good way and it smells a bit more like alcoholic candy, at least on my skin. Pink Lace on the other hand smells beautifully while blended into my skin and it becomes a more natural sweet scent as the time passes. The fading is faster that for instant The Kingdom of Sweets or NGALG5 but the process is beautiful. If you like NGAGL5, Candy Phoenix, The Kingdom of Sweets, Zombie Apocalypse or Sugar Plum Fairy you will love love love this one. It does not beat Black Lace but they are in opposite categories so who cares? The best candy blend I have smelled since Candy Phoenix.

In bottle: O with party-pants on the rocks! On skin: Warmer than the final version. It has coconut in it, so on it´s a blend which reminds me of Tiki princes and O. 10 minutes in: Heavenly sunny musk. A skin scent. Totally different from the released version.

In bottle: Wow! This perfume smells so fantastic in the bottle that I had to remind myself of the following. It IS a TAL oil, which as you know means that it is not a cosmetic perfume, but I would like to compare the smell of it to a mountain: there are layer upon layer upon layer. It has such a personality that I fell in love immediately. It is deep yet clean, spicy yet refreshing, and most of all; when you smell the bottle you get a feeling that it will work. On skin: A fantastic real perfume scent unlike BPAL oils which often smell either candy, earthy, fruity...you get the picture. This smells like an essential oil. A perfume. And boy boy boy boy boy boy, this is a miracle! I know this is not the topic to write about how it works, but it is a darn shame that there are no more bottles left. I am so glad that I got the last one on Etsy!

In the bottle: This beauty is so close to my heart that I have had to wait for weeks to review her, to give her justice. Both of these bottles came from sellers who reached out when I needed it the most. In the bottle... This is Raven moon´s sexy, older party sister. When I first took a whiff of this one I knew what a pbal soulmate should be like. This was such a beautiful perfume in the bottle that I started to cry. I´m not a rose person and I am not a leather person. But I do enjoy dark scents. And sniffing on this bottle takes me on a journey to Paris during Fashion Week. On skin:This scent is such a high for me. I imagine it is to me what Snake charmer is for those who really loves it: A sexy, dark, twisted blend, which makes you feel like a million bucks. I am a candy and fruit kind of girl, but oh my gosh, this is like a temple scent for me. For those sharing my beliefs, the know what it means.

In imp: O for party! On me: Lesd O more gloser but the skin is there! I lovethis.

In bottle: strong gummy berry bears On me I adore adore adore this. In my opinion there are three candy scents in the BPAL-world: The chocolate ones and heavy cream The ones supposed to smell candy, but ending up stinking plastic The one who shall smell synthetic with an edge and here is this one. Together with candy phoenix, plastic pink flamingo and the kingdom of sweets and the adult pink champagne. I love love love love love this!

In bottle: Cleansing-soap? Second sniff: Apples? On me: At first it smelled like the above description. Then, bang! This smells like real strawberries with fresh cider. The pink aspect: Lately I have been trying some foodie blends which I never got around too in the first place. A lot of them are so plastic-pink. This is perfect. Adult pink

In bottle: Strawberry and vanilla. On me: The best beaver moon ever? The others is so filled with cake that the fruit is hidden. Did Beth get the inspiration to Kitty from this? It is not as evolved as Kitty but it is a simpler version. 10 minutes in: Plastic comes through... I get a Zombie apocalypse feeling to it. No no no.

Warm -sunny vanilla.. It reminds me of... Something.. Let´s put it on... On skin So warm So deep so sexy. Sexy as O with honeyed-vanilla. This has so many levels. I do not get Love´s philosophy at all. More grown-up,less sweet. Strong evolving.

In imp:( This took my imp-buying virginity!)I had huge hopes after getting enough to skin test elfv4... So explosive! It is like sniffing on the body spray of your dreams... S fantastically bright floral with a creamy undertone. On me: It starts out as it did in the imp, but evolves into a greener more natural scent. This is how I want to smell after a shower. Throw: This lasts! Unlike the proto, it is pressent this morning before I do my morning routine. Yum!

Living in Norway proto´s and event oils are often hard to come by. However, this seemed like a cool bottle to get so when I found it on LJ I jumped on it. I have tested it three times before writing this. In bottle: My heart dropped... Cake smash. Which I adored when it came out, but after years of cake I was tired of it and swapped my backup of cake smash. Thank God I skin tested it. At first: Cake... Cream... Vanilla... On me: Five minutes in: Is this the same scent? I smell no cake, just a warm berry perfume. It is foody, but in a perfume way. We are not talking cakes but vanilla honey and fresh berries fantastic! Proto v.s. GC: I rarely if ever buy GC bottles or imps and usually I end up with a strange imp collection from the LAB. It is funny and exciting. What I mean is I have never been given the "best sellers" like Snake oil,Dorian,O,Eat me... You get the picture... In a swap years ago I got Eat me and Drink me. I remember liking Eat me, but thinking it was too creamy for a GC. This is so different I love it!

In bottle: Cake smash with fruit On me: A grown-up candy scents which evolves into layers of fruit heaven On a longer term: Lasts so long and smells so good that I almost cried. A cake scent I actually adore and the fruits... Oh my! Edit: Now on top ten. On my scale: 3/5

In bottle: Sugar skull. On me: mix sugar skull with Lilith´s tea party and the sweetness of cake smash. This does smell more of pepper than cake on me. Better give it a second try. It really has throw though. I only rubbed the cap and you can smell it very strongly.

In bottle: marshmallow straight from the fire. on me: Oh my Godliness!Uhm I mean Beth... this scent is a dream coming through. I have swapped away many of my cake-scents recently. Like Cake Smash, Lilith`s tea party. Those were not good on my skin so they remained unused. This scent is cake but in a perfume way, on me it is sweet as pink musk, but in a super-sophisticated way. I love it.

In bottle: I was a bit afraid to even sniff it after reading this topic, thankfully I listened to my heart. This is heavy so this has staying power. Even after one sniff. On me: A heavy galore! Snake charmer comes to mind, but this is more dry without all the levels... Wait! The plum in the background is not sweet at all, creating an exciting sexy layer. During the day: The plum comes up and I am not sure what to think about it, but the other notes are thankfully heavy. Creating one of my favorite blends ever.

In the bottle: Candy,fruit and a hint of winter. On me: It starts out overwhelmingly strong and a little from the cap was enough. So be very careful. Most candy-scents amps on me... This has a staying power like nothing else. The plum becomes almost too much blended with candy. After two hours: Candy-heaven ahoi. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It is so freaking amazing. I wish I ordered more, but seeing how strong this is it will last a long time. At the end of the day: I smell great like a candy fruit moon meets the adult candy phoenix. I got three compliments in 30 minutes...

In bottle: Hey, where are those flowers? I get cream with something like worn Numb in the background. On me: Menthol on a stick for cold-sore crappy lips. Glue. As it dries down my skin gets more and more like glue. I nearly washed it off. Then a few minutes later: Love´s philosophy with a heavy twist.

In bottle: Sweet but not candy like. Luckily I find no regular coconut, rather a sweet coconut. This is Tiki queen´s sweet little sister. Not as many layers, but I love it. Strawberry,( Not synthetic), creamy-flowers. A tropical island in a bottle. To quote a friend who is not a BPALér:" Wow, this bottle is amaing. On me: The layers blends in nicely. Think Fruit moon blended with cream and mild flowers. A lovely lovely blend. 20 minutes in The "island is still there, sadly quite fast fading. I love it though.

In imp: Hemp almost tobacco On me: Starts out as raw- mother nature. Continues to be hemp, hemp HEMP! It started out with "oh, no. I have bottle coming to me in the mail. 5 minutes hemp. 10 minutes: One of the most complex scents ever. Raw-heavenly vanilla. Becomes better and better. Not foodie, but vanilla. No more hemp. Love it. Edit: This scent smells way to woody for me after the original review I got a bottle in the mail a few days after. Never used it. My scale: 2/5

In bottle: Holy! A blend which smells fresh,fruty and minty. On me: Deep fruit,fresh mint in the background. A mix of Annabell Lee,fruit moon and F5. As time goes I smell a kind pf smokey-yet-fresh back tone I can smell all my three favorite blends in one. Perfect.

In the bottle: Numb with soul... Clean,soapy but with something great in it. On my skin: Warm clean and green. Don´t know why I thought of F5 when I read the description. This is more earthy and oh so lovely. It does not last very long but I love it!

In the bottle: I admit the raw vanilla drove me to this scent. When I opened it, I almost cried: No vanilla in my nose... The bottle smelled of dust and earth. On me: A library! Leather with swet, I smelled like I had not showered in days. I was crushed. I had so huge vanilla-expectations.

In bottle:I have had dreams about this for years... In all my years as a BPAL enthusiast there is one thing I have never stopped regretting. When they launched snake charmer for the first time I already knew the company, but I was sceptical due to the musk note. When snake charmer res came out, my mind was drawn to the other limited edition scents. If I had been a forum member I would have known better, but I tried signing up for years and somehow my apple computer did not seem to get me through. As the years went on my longing for snake charmer became almost desperate. Today I got my baby and when I opened the bottle I knew that this perfume was made for me. Thanks to Chaoskitty I got an aged snake oil imp which was fantastic. To me the scent of snake charmer is snake oil in an aged fantastic way. On me:If it was good in the bottle it was phenomenal on my skin. The layers keeps on taking me to new hights. I hoped and begged that the vanilla would stand out since vanilla is one of my favourite notes. This vanilla did not let me down, nor was it too candy or too soapy. Do not get me wrong, I love candy blends, but this blend is not and will never be a regular blend. It is simply a masterpiece. Honestly I never thought I would have this huge crush on a BPAL scent, but for me snake charmer is the heavy comforting party perfume I always hoped it would be. And I am so glad that my other favourite scents, which are candy phoenix and F5, finally has a heavy sibling in locket.

In bottle: Balsam with leather, no vanilla On skin: Yes! Vanilla... Then strong leather I seem to have gotten the leather everyone else wanted combined. It is way to leather filled for me.

Scent: A tribute to synthetic candy goodness. On my skin: Candy with a hint of strawberry with a great staying powder. The candy lasts on me and makes me so happy. Which scent it reminds me of: LUSH´Snow fairy but the LAB creates it naturally. I am not a chocolate -perfume lover, which they create more versions of. I do like cake scents though. This scent has no scent which reminds of it - making it a very unique blend.
