I cant believe I havent reviewed this one yet o.O I have tried the released version and I do like it alot but v2 works better on my skin. v2 is much creamier in the bottle and on my skin. I also would say v2 is milk chocolate and snake oil while the released version is dark choco and snake oil. In both you can smell the snake oil underneath a layer of chocolate. however as much as i love to eat dark chocolate it always goes through a weird sour drydown phase in my skin until it settles into delicious chocolate. milk chocolate doesnt do this so v2 is much nicer on me. I will definately get the released boomslang version as soon as the carnival is back in town as the released version has something sexy about it due to the dark chocolate while v2 is foodie and comforting. I love both but v2 wins over the released version in my book. Straight up Snake oil was my favorite scent until i meet Boomslang v2 So far I have bought 6 bottles in fear to run out one day. Try this if you love: foodies, milk choco, snake oil

Jareth! I find Jareth very masculine and sexy guy like (well its Jareth what do i expect ;p). I love it and pull it of as a girl who normally loves foody and snake oil but i personally think it does need some balls as a girl to pull it off. Its lemony guys cologne with leather and sexy!

I thought the belgium chocolate is my least favorite from the box. Ufortunately this one got the titel. In the imp and wet on the skin it smells like nice boozy cherries. as soon as it hits my skin anise is all I smell and its really medical,too. I had hight hopes for this scent because wine and cherries are 2 of my favorite scent and I really do like the scent of anise but they just dont work for me together At least it teached me the lesson to stay away from anise scents because i seem to amp them to high heaven O.O

I got decants of all the Box o'Chocolates. Unfortunately I have to say this one is my least favorite. It was not really what I expected. I expected it to be fruity and creamy but I basicly just went sour on my skin. I couldnt even detect the Chocolate all that much and this is suprising because I normally amp chocolate so much that even most 13 blends are pretty chocolaty on me. It went from a lemony scent straight to a pretty sour berry scent on my skin and stayed that way. Staying power is pretty decent though. Unfortunately not for me but I cant win them all...

I got decants from all the Box o'Chocolates Scents. Some of them are quite morpher and make it hard for me to decide for a full bottle or not or even write a review. This one however reminded me from bottle to drydown of Jelly Bananas. I dont really know if you have them outside germany but in germany they are really popular and I grew up on them. They are basicly Banana Flavored Jelly in a dark chocolate crust and they are really yummy. They do have however a tart edge to them and so has this scent. I really dont know where the tart, nearly lemony scent, is comming from but it is there. I dont smell white chocolate, i actually smell dark chocolate, but maybe my nose is playing tricks on me beause i think of jelly bananas and those are covered in dark choco. The scent fades really fast on me and stays close to the skin. When its nearly gone (after about 1 or 2 hours) a faint smell of lemony white chocolate stays on my skin. Its very creamy and rich but I have to press my nose on my skin to detect it by then. The scent really brings back my childhood, especially since I am far away from germany now. However I was hoping for something creamier and I dont really wanna smell like a jelly banana myself. I will use my imp and bring back some childhood memories with it but I dont need a full bottle.

Basicly most heavy flowers trigger my migrain and WILF makes me sneeze for some reason o.O I thought it was just coincidence but i tried it 3 times and every time was folowed my sneezing parts of my brains out

I finally made it to try all my 4 decants of the new hairglosses and this is my faaavvooorrriittteee! It made me instantly put the bathoil and the perfume on my to-try-list. I never smelled the morocco perfume and I thought i was well set with snake oil in this scent family, but when i opend the bottle ans smelled it i said out loud "YUUUMMMMM". It is very nicely balanced sweet and spicy and very settled. I can smell it in my hair for hours when i put my hair up to my nose but its not screaming at me all the time like the snake oil hairgloss does (I am NOT complaining about that either ). As hairgloss it is avarage I would say. not super heavy but also not the lightest of the bunch i tried. I quite love it and I can imagine this will go well with alot of perfumes especially for foody lover! I can imagine choosing this instead of snake oil hairgloss if i finally decide on a whole bottle of hairgloss since its a lighter hairgloss which a much more settled scent but still long lasting and delicious. Or I could also imagine buying both and having them in heavy routation

I am sorry to be the first "meh" review but I just dont really like the scent. As hairgloss it is really nice like all the BPTP glosses I tried, but it is just a bit to much 90s suntan lotion for my liking. I never really liked to tan and I am not a fan of artificial coconut smell. I was hoping for this to smell more like real, fresh coconut with sweet vanilla and just a hint of flower. Maybe its just me but I just dont wanna smell like suntan lotion especially not when I use something from BPAL or BPTP

This seems to be one for the guys! My OH has only one expression every time i let him smell a BPAL perfume : "Good!" Its kind of annoying and not understandable for me. If its about food he can go on for hours why something is great and well balanced However when i let him sniff the Amber and Patchouli hairgloss he was really suprised and said it smell really really good! He liked it even so much that he was letting me try it on his thick japanese hair. The test run is still going but it might just be that I have to give him his first bottle of a BPAL/BPTP something EVER for his birthday since he really really loved it. His hair needs alot more care than mine because he is getting a straight perm every half a year and he straightens and washes his hair every day. As for the gloss itself I found it very nicely lightweight. Its actually perfectly balanced for my hair. Somehow i expected it to be as heavy as snake oil due to the patchouli. I smell strong patchouli but this might just be due to my decant. It works well with the amber on me and its the first time anything amber ever worked on me. The scent is indeed very very dirty, but in a good way. Somehow I can see this spray working well with Jareth perfume oil, since this has something dirty to it as well. I would not get a full bottle of it, since i am a Snake Oiloholic and Hairgloss is very difficult to work with for me in general because its wearing my greasy, fine hair down so quick, no matter how little i apply. But I might just have to get a bottle for the OH

I also get coffee from this, and something caramel-y. Its the coffee note that was in the BPTP Soap last winter. It smells good enought to drink. I can imagine that this would be exactly the way Hoggle would smell like, also I personally would imagine him a bit more earthy smelling. That beeing said, this scent is not really me. I am a huge coffee-junkie but but i dont like smelling like coffee. However this would be awsome for a coffee lover who likes to smell like his fav brew FOR SURE 3/5 A delicious scent, just not for me.

After Autum Cider worked out great on me (which i discovered after it was taken down ), I thought this will be simular. Unfortunately something in this is very off on my skin. Does someone else gets soapy?! There is something soapy in there. I blame the ginger which seems to create an "off-scent" on me Other than this it is pretty simular to autum cider. If my skin wouldnt turn a certain part to soap, it would be the perfect autum cider replacement. 3/5

WoW this got me by suprise Jareth was one of my first childhood crushes, so of course I wanted the perfume to work on me, but since Dorian is a big sugared-stomache-turning-lemoncake-mess on my skin and Jareth had been compared to Dorian, I had no high hopes. In the bottle: Uh! Oh! Strong mens cologne. Am I sure i want that on my skin?! On the skin wet: It imediately tones down and its getting sweeter. On the skin dry: Yep thats Dorian alright but the leather and smoke background makes it much more sexy and naughty and on me it stops the Dorian aspect from turning into a sticky sickening mess. After 1 hour: It mellows down on me much faster then Dorian but I like that. Dorian was to crazy strong on me, which was one of the reasons I couldnt stomache Dorian. Its like the Goblin King is followering me around silently, wispering forbidden things in my ears, which nobody else can hear Verdict: This one is definately very sexy and while its wearable for man and woman its leaning to the masculin side. I am not the person to wear masculin scents normally, but then again I also cant do Dorian. Jareth made it to win my heart again, this time in scent form. The scent is comforting and sexy and I just want to curl up next to it. I can imagine it as sleep perfume as well. I never thought I would say that when I ordered a decant of Jareth, but i need several bottles of Jareth in my life. If this is what Sarah smelled when she faced Jareth, once more I cant understand how she could say no to him "Yes Jareth! I will fear you… …love you… …do as you say and you can be my slave!"

Now THAT ONE suprised me! I ordered 7 luper imps. all 4 shungas failed (I am still waiting for blossoms in springtime), the vine was a sour mess and this one I just ordered out of curiosity. I am not a coconut fan at all, but this one is just a beautiful, kind of smoky coconut on me. slighty foody (not to much), slightly sexy (not to affensiv). The suprise love out of my luper decants. I might just need 2 bottles

After the reviews i was already worried and when i finally got my decant i just sniffed it and it smelled smoky and perfumy and I knew it will give me a headache. It did and it smelled horrible on my skin. smokey and like a cheap perfume. 4 out of 4 shunga decants are misses

I was jumping on the last imp my decanter had because of the good reviews. It was a complete mess on my skin. super sweaty, heavy musk with lemon cleaner background. no cinnamon on me. I made the mistake and just putted it on and wnt out and came home with a headache. So not what i expected

I expected this to be fruitier. Unfortunately like the other 3 shungas I tried this year this one also turned perfumy on me. I love bpal because it normally doesnt smell like perfume. Its fruity floral perfume and smells a bit incensy on me strangewise o.O So a complete shunga pass for me this year ;.;. All 4 shungas i tried gave me a headache I think Halloween and xmas is more "my time".

Well I expected that that will not work for me but i had to try it anyway. flowers and my skin never agree. It was not super horrible grannyish but it was not me either. very perfumy floral on my skin.

I was so hoping and thinking to like this, but it just turned super sour on my skin. There was no cream or sweetness for me. I am lucky i didnt went for a bottle

This is also a bathoil decant i got from my lovely friend. I can totally see why its popular. its nearly pure candy like sugared strawberry. In fact in germany some people like to cut up strawberries, put sugar on them and let them sit. The sugar strawberry sauce you get by this is EXCATLY what it smells like. On me as after shower moisturizer it still smelled like this but it got a perfumy twist. I dont like my bpal to smell perfumy and this one is also overall a bit to sweet for me. It was nice to try but i dont need a full bottle of it...

A darling friend of mine i got to know in a bpal swap send me a trial decant of the bourbon vanilla bath oil In the bottle it smelled so lovely. i nearly jumped on a bottle without trying it just by sniffing it....then i skintested it.... WTF!!!! It goes smoked bacon on my skin! i smell like friggin meat! it stays that way good 5 to 10 min then it mellows down to something vanillaish still with smoke in the background. I can detect the weired side smell that also stopped me from buying gingerbread poppet bath oil in the full size. i guess me and vanilla just dont get along. That was just nasty! i will use it up in the bath or put it on way before i go out because i guess smoked vanilla will go nicely with my snake oil. but for sure i dont get a bottle or put it on shortly before i go out That was definately not what i expected!

My initial thought that there is to much stuff in it was right. Its starts out chocolaty but the thyme overshadows it on me This actually reminds me of velvet quite a bit with its woody chocolate note. And like velvet it calms down to a sweeter, nearly vanillary note on me but its still not quite right. However I dont give up on it just yet. I guess aging will do wonders for this baby and make it more rich, dark chocolate Edit april 2012: I was right letting it age.now i like it quite a bit. chocolate became the main player with woody spicyness as his sidekick. i will keep the bottle and will dust it out for autum again

This scent smells really sweet and promising in the bottle. unfortunately on my skin it dries down dirty sweet mud note. Certainly the way you imagine a goblin to smell like, but not me at all. Maybe it would be fun as room scent or in the bath

So many people just rave about this one but I just cant warm up to it. Holding it up to my nose it is headacheintroducing sweet and perfumy. Honey floral perfume. I tried it as after bath moisturizer: All i get is a strong generic sweet flowery perfume note. Then I thought it is probably better in the bath since it is a bath oil: The same sweet perfumy flower note. I ask myself where does this strong flower note comes from? There are no flowers listed This is really not for me. I luckily only have a decant but I think about getting rid of that one because I really cant stand it. I am simply not a perfumy smelling scent person, if this makes any sense

This one is such a morpher. it starts of as gingerbread, morps to sweet gum drops, cookies, candied fruits back to gingerbread, back to fruits.... I have the feeling that everytime i smell it its something else. It is a super nice christmas scent. Like other said its really like opening a box of xmas sweets. I would probably go for a bottle if i wouldnt have 1 and a half bottle of the invasion of the flesheating reindeer from uranus, which is my favorite xmas scent. If i have to choose between getting one more backup of reindeer and this one i would go for reindeer, reindeer just has more oomph to it with the slight booze. But I will keep and enjoy my imp of this one. For me this scent stays a bit to close to the skin for my liking. The staying power on my skin is also not the best. As a snake oil fan i like a good throw

I am a big fan of spices and cookies but this one was a fail for me its all spices and burned cookies and makes me sick in my stomache. off to my friend who really loved it
