    Beaver Moon 2005

    This is for Beaver'Versary... This one is a perfect little scent of vanilla cupcakes and vanilla cheesecake to me. It's not very strong (maybe from aging), but it is delicious. The little beaver on the label is also too cute.

    Braving the Ice

    This scent is a favorite of mine! In the bottle and wet it has the lightest sweetest cookie scent, but mixed in is the pomegranate cream to make it not overly sweet. When it dries down though that sugar note is my favorite. It smells just like powdered sugar and I love it. Only wish the throw was a little stronger. Also the label is the cutest thing ever!

    Chocolate Stout Cupcake

    This is all chocolate syrup upon sniffing. Wet on the skin I get strong heavy chocolate fudge. As it dries down I then get some of the chocolate frosting scent mixed with a little stout. I can smell the boozy edge but it keeps it from being all too sweet. Love this chocolate because it's strong and lasts on my skin. I love Bliss too but it has a lighter chocolate note that fades away so fast. I'm glad this one sticks around. One of the best chocolate scents by BPAL!

    Lemon-Scented Sticky Bat

    This smells exactly like the description. It's a very light lemon icing. Not strong lemon on me. It's just the right amount. Makes me smile and it's oddly calming. Love to wear this in the summer months. Cute label too! I LOVE bats.

    Beaver Moon 2013

    This in the bottle is lemon zest. But on the skin the cheesecake comes out a lot. When it all dries down I get the perfect lemon cheesecake. Sweet and mouth watering. Never get much pear maybe it's just adding to the overall sweetness.

    Yule Cookie

    Wet this one starts off as gingersnap cookies. When it dries down the orange comes in and mellows it out a little. I feel like I get some other spices that I don't know as well, maybe that's the caraway. I really like this one. It's very Christmassy to me. And the label is the cutest thing ever!

    Sugar Cookie

    2012: This is my all time favorite cookie scent! It smells like a perfectly delicious sugar cookie. Sweet and decadent but not too buttery. It's perfection. 2011: Is also a delicious sugar cookie scent but more buttery and has a lot less throw than 2012, and short wear time. EDIT to add 2008: Oh my goodness! This one is amazing!!! A lot like 2012 with less spice I'd say. It smells just like eating sugar cookie dough that hasn't been cooked yet, and I freaking love that! It has a tad lower throw then 2012 BUT is so delicious I don't mind sniffing my arm all day. It's also going strong still after 3 hours of wear...

    Mother Shub's Unmentionable Peppermint Creams

    This is the perfect vanilla mint. Wet it smells like a buttermint. Those soft candies. But as it dries the marzipan comes forward it smells like a soft vanilla to me. The mint fades off a little and what is left is soft with low throw but very soothing each time I sniff my wrist. The peppermint is sweet and friendly...that I appreciate. This is lovely.

    Banshee Beat

    Oh my! I just realized I never reviewed this and it's my HG scent! My favorite! My baby! Well for me it's the best patchouli ever. When you sniff it from the bottle that is what you get first. The sexy and almost delicious patchouli. Then when you dab it on this baby opens up! It's all vanilla and amazing. This vanilla is perfect as well, and they mingle just perfectly together. I never really get full on hemp but I think it is there to balance everything out and just make it work. The other great thing about BB is the staying power. It sticks around all day and on to the next. I spilled a bottle of it (OH SO TRAGIC) a LONG time ago on the top of my perfume box and to this day I still smell it on there! I love my BB!

    Samhain in the Pumpkin Patch

    This starts out as delicious pumpkin and spice but as it dries down it turnes all apple all day on my skin. Which was just TOO much apple for me. My skin doesn't like it very much. But it starts out so good. Very sad. Love the adorable label too.

    Raspberry Thumbprint Cookie

    This is all sweet raspberry at first, yummy. Then when it dries down a light bit of sugar cookie mingles with the raspberry. It's the perfect interpretation of the actual cookie.

    Strawberry Sufganiyot

    This is the most delicious strawberry jelly filled doughnut! I love this scent so much! It's in my top 5 for sure! Even thinking about it makes me hungry and I want to slather some on! But it's bed time!

    Ivory Vulva

    Sweet sugared cream, delicious marshmallow, and maybe some coconut and amber in the background. This is so lovely!! I can't stop smelling my wrist, and I only dabbed a little on from the cap. Can't wait until I wear more next time. So glad I went for a bottle unsniffed!

    dragon's blood recommendations...?

    No I didn't get to try it! I thought it might be too basic.

    Pumpkin Spice Everything

    I totally agree with others about this being all the spices and no pumpkin...and I love it! A little goes a long way too. Perfect!

    Very Pink Surprise Cake

    Super duper PINK and SWEET! I love this because it is so sweet and pink, it makes me so happy. I smell the sugary sweetness strong at first and then on the dry down there is delicious cake and strawberry sweetness. So cute!

    Son of biggerCritter

    I LOVE this scent! It's the most delicious mix of coconut and lime and has that lovely vanilla cream note to make it not too tart or citrusy. So happy to have a bottle, and also love to tab it on my critter as well, so it smells just as good!

    Pralines and Powdered Sugar

    This one is delicious and has great staying power. The begining is all pralines, a lovely sweet nut scent, then the powdered sugar comes out later and delightfully lingers long after. It is so yummy and smells like the real thing!!! Love this one!

    Captain Lilith and her First Mate

    I didn't get coconut cake on my skin test. I got mainly vanilla ice cream and rum. And it was delicious...but then it disapeared on me! Poof! The same happened with Anne Beany...those rum cupcakes do not want to hang out on my skin and I wish they would! Maybe aging will help make it stay on my skin longer because I love it...

    My new favorite coconut scent is Son of biggerCritter!

    Autumn Scents - recommend the ones you love

    I'm really loving Pumpkin Latte lately. I sold off my "in the pumpkin patch scents" (just not enough staying power for me) but I really loved Bliss in the Pumpkin Patch and hope that comes back as a full bottle this year and not just an imp!
  23. What tea scent smells closest to a chai tea latte? Any one? I haven't tried many tea scents and was wondering. Loved Teatime in Roswell though just fyi.

    Recommending a BPAL pumpkin blend...

    Is there some other pumpkin scents that are similar to Bliss in the Pumpkin Patch that I could get in a full bottle? I love the pumpkin note in it...

    Bliss in the Pumpkin Patch

    All chocolatety Bliss when wet on the skin..then dries down to pumpkin spice. This is delicious and I would probably spring for a bottle if there were to ever be one! (a girl can dream)
