    Autumn Moon of the Mirror Stand

    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.

    Snake Oil Bath Oil

    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...

    Beanman & Beanwoman Prepare to Attack the Vagina

    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.

    The Infernal Lover

    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!!

    Looking for a BPAL that Resembles a Favorite Perfume

    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!)

    The Grindhouse

    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!

    The Illustrated Woman

    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!!

    Bearded Lady

    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!

    Stimulating Sassafras Strengthener

    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.

    Mme. Moriarty, Misfortune Teller (2006)

    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.

    Morocco

    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!

    Two, Five & Seven

    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.

    Snake Oil

    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!

    Champagne and Roses

    Wow! If it was possible I'd swear this bottle had bubbles in it. Really! A little bit like a cherry 7up or something in the bottle but smells exactly like it's namesake on the skin. My Husband didn't like it at all; said I smelled like some sort of weird cleanser but I was ok with it. Going to try it again when my 'nose' matures a bit I think but happy to have a bottle of it for now.

    Midway

    I got a 1/2 bottle of the original version on ebay which turned into a 1/4 bottle due to the seller not closing the lid all the way. Light & sweet & very foody I wasn't sure I liked this when I first put it on. It grew on me quite a bit; a scent that made me good enough to eat but wouldn't make me sick after if you know what I mean. unfortunately the throw was very light; maybe I need to apply heavier but with only 1/4 a bottle I don't know if I'll be able to make myself do that!

    Giant Vulva

    I bought an imp of this scent for the honey note and for it's name; I was amusing my friends with the names of oils I have been trying and this one was the overall favorite on name alone. I have a friend that has made me promise the first time someone asks me what i am wearing and it is this oil I will call her and let her hear the reaction when I tell the asker. Anyways! This is very much a SEX smell for me; it immediately makes me feel seductive when I put it on. Very light throw to it though on me so I'm really going to have to slather if my friend is ever going to get that phonecall!

    Dark Chocolate and Pepper-Smoked Caramel

    The first time I tried this it was a rich caramel-y goodness with only the slightest hint of smoke; it was delicious & I ordered a bottle that day. I wore the scent the next day and WOW there was the smoke! Was not to happy about that; it almost smelled to me like I spent too much time as a bar or something. Will be trying this again to see what happens!

    Beaver Moon 2005

    Beaver Moon '05 smells like instead of delicately eating my red velvet wedding cake on my wedding day I stuck my hands in wrist deep, swirled them around and then smeared them behind my ears and on my neck. Picture that complete with the white gown & all. I really do like this scent & wish it wasn't so hard to find / pricey! I have the Beaver'versary as well but it's not as 'perfect' as the '05 version for the above image.
  21. fieryredhead

    Spellbound

    I'm still a little wary of musk on me but I got this for the rose notes & I am glad that I did! Everything just works so well in this blend; very 'grown up' type of scent for me. Will wear this on special evenings out!
  22. fieryredhead

    Midnight on the Midway (2006)

    This one smells exactly like the description; sugary florals & incense. Not a combination that i thought I/'d like as I didn't like florals (before I found the Lab) but this is amazing. Currently looking for a backup bottle of this!
  23. fieryredhead

    Womb Furie

    An itch that needs to be scratched: Snake Oil and three types of honey. Am happy that I ordered a bottle of this. I'm still pretty new and figuring out what everything smells like but I was reminded of Snake Oil & O. I am interested to see how this ages a bit!
  24. fieryredhead

    O

    This was my first Lab purchased bottle. Interested in seeing how it will age but pretty happy with it as it is. When I first put it on it smelled a little powdery for about half a minute and then I got the amber which made me very happy. Not really smelling the honey on me though which might just be me; I still haven't figured out what exactly the Lab's 'honey' smells like just yet. Regardless, I love it!
  25. fieryredhead

    White Chocolate, Strawberry, and White Pepper Truffle

    I agree that the pepper brings back the major sweetness of the '09 version (which I still liked) to a smoother scent. Hubby thought the '09 version was way too sweet but he liked this one. Glad I have a bottle of it!
