I'm still trying to decide whether or not I like this. I get all of the notes listed and they are really blended together so well. Its a very smooth scent. Its quite masculine, but still soft. I really like unisex scents too. I could wear this. The only think that is keeping me from loving this scent is that I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it reminded me of. Ah yes. Kinda smells like men's shaving cream. Not sure if I can get past that. Still, I'm happy to have my imp and may test this on my man next time.

I like Bordello but I don't love it. Its light and fruity. Two qualities I usually don't go for in a scent. If only there was a little more incense in there.... I will be keeping my imp though.

In my opinion Snake Charmer has a Snake Oil vibe (not a bad thing!) But I find it to be sweeter and more innocent than snake oil. Quite simply, I would say this smells like vanilla incense with a sharp note somewhere beneath all that warm, vanilla resin. If you are a fan of vanilla and snake oil, you will LOVE this

I got this imp as a freebie from a forum member. I never would have picked it out for myself. I shy away from florals. Nearly every floral bpal I've tried turns soapy. Not my beautiful phantom queen! When I smell this I have a hard time picking out notes because it is so beautifully blended. And I don't get the obvious floral either. The best way I can describe it is ethereal. Its fresh and cool and beautiful. My fiance loves this one. It is light, however. Not a ton of throw and fades pretty quickly. So I will just have to slather it on and reapply because I do love it. Its also something I can wear to work and won't seem too heady. I love phantom queen!

I love snake oil, but I don't love this. I also didn't care for O. This smells like O big time and I really can't smell the snake oil. Very heavy on the honey, which translates on me to baby powder and funk. And oh does it linger... If you like the scents that are really heavy on the honey you'll love it.

I have wanted to try this so bad and I was lucky enough to receive a frimp from a fellow forum member! This is what I hoped Velvet would smell like, which was the biggest disappointment to me. Its soft and rounded but it has that smoky sexiness that I LOVE. This is the most wearable chocolate I've found to date. Out of the bottle chocolate was dominant and I didn't think it would be wearable at all. But once I tested it on my skin the smokiness emerged. I really like this and its different from anything else I have. WIN! Update: this smells exactly like Bvlgari Notte. I have both and they smell exactly the same!

I never expected one of the blends to smell like a dept store perfume. It smells super good though! I can't pin point what it smells like though I KNOW I've smelled it before, or something very similar! Tommy Hilfiger? Not sure. Very clean and bright. I own nothing in that scent family. But I am keeping the imp for sure. Smells great!

I don't get it. I can barely smell anything! Its so so so soft with no throw at all. On me anyway. Velvet did the same thing. I guess I expected it to be "spicer" like everyone has said. If I sniff REALLY hard it is pleasant and yummy though. Wonder if my imp was just unusual? lol Or perhaps because it is fresh from the lab? Update: Ok so I got a bottle (aged) I was wrong. Morocco is beautiful. Glad I took everyone's advice and gave it another chance.

I have found my favorite scent ever. Mme Moriarty, Misfortune teller is everything I love in a scent! I smell more fruit in the bottle. A fruity snake oil. But not overly fruity or sweet. Just perfect. Snake oil was a scent that grew on me. I became addicted to it. But this is so much better than snake oil... On my skin the musk starts to come out. I'm not a huge "musk" fan, but the red musk is yummy. Perhaps I should try more scents with red musk! The fruit remains in the background. As more time passes a smoky, resinous vanilla remains. And that is a wonderful thing. I am so happy I got a bottle of this. I guess I should stock up on it. Its my heaven in a bottle

Any recommendations for dark, smoky orchid scents? Thanks

I also really enjoy Sinner. I'm not sure if any bpal scent really has the same feel for me, but you might try: *Eclipse (Bewitching Brews) - "A delicious blend of bitter almond, vanilla, frankincense and heliotrope, with a drop of cinnamon." Kinda has a similar dark, sweet, spiced vanilla quality. *Sin (Sin & Salvation) - "Thouroughly corrupted: amber, sandalwood, black patchouli and cinnamon." If you liked the spicy-earthy-sweet aspects of Sinner, this is like the cinnamon and patchouli amped up. *Mme Moriarty (not currently available, but I'd definitely recommend picking up a bottle of this when the Carnaval collection is back up and running) - "Red musk, vanilla bean, pomegranate, patchouli leaf and wild plum." The vanilla really stands out a lot for me in Sinner. If you like the vanilla-y qualities, look into these blends: *The Antikythera Mechanism (Steamworks) - "Teakwood, oak, black vanilla, and tobacco." *Black Opal (Bewitching Brews) - "A play of geological darkness and jagged brilliance. Soft and luminescent with flashes of black fire." *Dorian (Sin & Salvation) - "A Victorian fougere with three pale musks and dark, sugared vanilla tea." *Hunger (Ars Amatoria) - "Black narcissus, orange blossoms, and vanilla." *Lyonesse (Wanderlust) - "Golden vanilla and gilded musk, stargazer lily, white sandalwood, grey amber, elemi, orris root, ambergris and sea moss." You're awesome! I have some of those imps on the way I am really wanting some of the Mme Moriarty! I'm going to be adding these to my wishlist.

I am looking for something that smells similar to Kat Von D's SINNER perfume. I LOVE it. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated as I am new to Bpal!

Perversion is my favorite scent ever. That is all.

Revised: Initially I didn't care for Velvet. But I recently received an imp from a forum member and I love it. I doubt its something I'd wear out but its definitely something I'd wear on lazy days when I need something comforting. I can also see wearing this before bed.

Jasmine Soap Its a shame because the city is so close to my heart. I wanted it to be a beautiful scent. Oh well.

This was the first oil I ordered and was shocked at how beautiful this scent is. The description is dead on. I never thought the tea note would be something I would want to wear. I was wrong. Its very wearable. I love Dorian and it will forever be one of my favorites.

In the bottle all I got was patchouli and was so disappointed. But after giving it a shot I found it morphed beautifully into a much lighter, brighter scent with the patchouli just lingering in the background. I LOVE this blend and I am so happy I gave it a second chance!
