Honey, quince, vanilla, white cognac, Spanish mandarin, and golden tobacco. Urg. I'd been wanting to try this scent for a while now & recently got my hands on a 1/4 bottle. Tried it this morning & unfortunately... it's not loving me. All I'm really smelling is a greasy sort of tobacco; I have liked tobacco in other blends but this one just sin't sitting well on me.

This is the most fantastic stuff I have ever purchased from the lab. Really. I couldn't wait to get in the shower and try it out. As expected it worked great on my skin but after someone's post about adding it to their shampoo I decided to try adding some to my conditioner. Added a few drops to the conditioner bottle (smaller one used for mixing) and then slathered it on my hair. As I was waiting for the conditioner to soak in I read the SOBO bottle more closely; it's a blend of olive, mineral, fractionated coconut, and apricot kernel oils, with rosehip seed, evening primrose, and vitamin E as well as the perfume. All of those oils? AWESOME for your hair. So when I got out of the shower & my hair had dried a little I added a few drops straight up to my hair. OMG. My hair LOVED it. Due to losing 70lbs this year and apparently not getting as much fats as I needed my hair is going through a big shedding stage right now and it's really stressing me out. For the first time in many weeks my hair was almost back to normal! now I know the SOBO didn't put the hairs back that I lost but it made the ones left thick, shiny (but not oily) and happy. Not to mention scented like sugared sex of course. I echo the begging to make this oil last forever. At $30 a bottle it's pricey to stock up on. I wonder if there is a discount for a case...

Wow. Hontestly I purchased this bottle on a whim but oh wow am I glad I did. The first thing I thought when I put it on was 'I didn't know gardenia was in the notes' as usually I would avoid that. Gardenia usually goes too sharp florally on me. I was surprised that it doesn't have it in there but someone else on the thread mentioned it smells like a gardenia perfume they used to wear so I know I'm not crazy. It's a creamy white scent on me like I stuck my face into a beribboned gardenia bridal bouquet. Innocent but with the knowledge that such innocence is *very* close to its end! Absolutely gorgeous.

Oh I LoveLoveLove this scent! When I first really started with BPAL I thought I was going to swoon over any honey scent there was as I loved the smell. Unfortunately I came to realize that honey ON my skin wasn't my favorite. Musks I've never been a huge fan of to begin with but this? Ohhhhh I looooove it. It's not too much honey, not too musky; just totally a sensual, creamy goodness that I want to soak in. Will definitely need at least one bore bottle if not two!!

Nope. I have a bottle of 'On Darkness' and tested; the 'Dark Kiss' scent has a really nice fruity quality with the plum & black raspberry (& I am not usually a fruity scent person!)

Does anyone know a similar BPAL to Bath & Body Works new scent 'Dark Kiss'? They might come out with a full perfume with the full collection release August 30 but still. Here is the info from their site: Top notes: Bergamot, Incense, Mirabelle Plum, Black Raspberry Mid Notes: Amber, Burgundy Rose, Geranium, Peony Base Notes: Dark Vanilla Bean, Labdanum, Vetiver, Sensual Balsam, Musks

Wow this was really strong when I first tried it on; the red musk was way out there! Happily it settled down after about an hour into a smooth, sexy blend. Just what I was hoping for!

REALLY love this scent. Didn't get any of the Pinesol-ness thankfully; everything blended really well for me. Really have to sniff hard for the tobacco but it's there! Love the bottle art as well. Keeper!!

After much seeking I finally got my hands on a bottle of this. In the bottle it's really floral to me; not smelling any of the vanilla I was expecting but still very pretty. On my skin the florals REALLY come out, I imagine sticking my face in a really lush white bouquet. After an hour or so the scent has really smoothed out. Florals blending nicely and there's that creaminess. LOVE THIS!

This was like a root beer float on me. More creamy than straight up root beer but has that extra zing that cream soda doesn't have. I love the scent! not sure i want to go walking around smelling like a root beer float though but I'm sure it will come in handy someday.

I decided i needed to start doing some testing again before bed each night & my Mme. Moriarty decant was the first one I grabbed last night. She almost derailed my plans to test more than one scent as I LOVE this! I had avoided trying it because i was worried about the fruit notes but i hardly get any of those. They are there... but far in the background. This is exactly why I love BPAL so much; the scents are so complex! Anyways! I get the red musk & the patchouli but I think they are smoothed out a bit by the vanilla and fruits. A really sensual blend; probably not the best idea to wear to work today but i couldn't help myself with slathering up again. I am thankful that she is still for sale straight from the lab & plan to get myself a bottle! Or 12.

The intoxicating perfume of exotic incenses wafting on warm desert breezes. Arabian spices wind through a blend of warm musk, carnation, red sandalwood and cassia. Morocco, where have you been all my life?!? This is absolutely GORGEOUS. Spicy without being sharp. This is exactly what I picture Morocco to smell like in the eveningon a summer night. I am a bellydancer (part time, heh!) and I'm pretty sure this is going to be my go to scent for performances! I have a show on Sunday & I can't wait to wear this for the show!

Not sure how I feel about this one. I do get the rose scent but I also see where people were getting the fruity scent too. It smells like rose flavored candy. I've had rose flavored candy a few times and while it smells nice it's not something I want to eat. Anyways! I think this bottle is a keeper but it will have to be a scent that I am in a bouncy, happy mood to wear.

I was able to snag a 3 year old full bottle from someone that had it as a backup for my first Snake Oil experience. After reading all the reviews about letting it age I figured I'd skip that part. Was VERY happy that I did; Snake Oil is WONDERFUL. Creamy, spicy vanilla if it came in incense without the burning part. I think I need to get another bottle from the lab to let it age while I use up this precious one!
