Hmm....and wow! I just got a decant of this. I do like it!! Sniff: Does smell like Turkish Coffee...I don't get whiskey, unless it is hidden by the mocha part. Normally I don't do any booze notes, but this is nice! On Skin: Still get that strong coffee smell, but a good strong. Get a bit of the mocha scent, but it isn't chocolatey..if that makes sense. Must be the "whiskey" note holding it back! Dry down: Very nice coffee...it smells like the grounds of coffee that have been brewed and they have been sitting a while. It's a very comforting scent to me, but I think a decant is enough! Not that I could find a bottle now, but a bottle would be too much!!

So, I hope this is a good spot for this, BUT I just got some GREAT Pumpkin Patch bottles from an Ebay auction..they are all foody smelling but don't have a year on them..if I got it right, I think there were 5 released. Anyway, if someone can direct me to find out which ones I have and what year. The labels are mostly balck with black and orange pumpkins all with different faces...and green squiggles coming off the pumpkins. Thanks anyone for any info. I am going to try to put a pic here...if it doesn't work, it is me being computer illiterate!! Ok...I guess I don't know how to post a pic here....

WOW! What more can I add that wasn't already added up above!! 100% SWEET and SUGAR! I am a BPAL foodie fan and boy, after testing an imp I just got..I had to make an appointment to see my dentist! Yeah, THAT sweet! I didn't get fizzy out of mine, like others have mentioned, but spot on with the scent of candy!! Like a Halloween pillowcase full of candy exploded! if you like sweet scents, this is a must for you...just not for me.

I broke down and bought a bottle of this...I was very disappointed! I was hoping for a more lemon-y pastry/cookie sugar scent, but on me, it was bubbly lemonade all the way!! I don't do bubbly scents well, so off to the swapping block it goes!!

Thanks for the replies....helps, but then makes my hope falter! But yeah, I figure there will be wonderful new things on the horizon, but still....would be nice if sometimes they can bring back what seems to be real popular scents. I understand the component issue as well...at the same time, it would be nice to be informed if a certain scent will "never" come back so I can stop dreaming!!

Ok... I can describe this on one word: Lebkuchen!!! Although it isn't an English word, this is exactly as it smells! I got to live in Germany for 3 years, and around Christmas time, we would buy some lebkuchen and this scent, in the bottle and on, brings back very fond memories of Germany... I really miss it there!!! Oh Du Meine Gute!!!

So, I have a question that maybe some of you BPAL veterans can answer...So, being less than a year old BPALer myself, trying to get a hold of a very hard to find scents (like Candy Butcher, Monsterbaits, VILF, Storyville, Cake Smah, etc etc), does the lab ever re-release these for the public to buy? I understand that they are hard to find and also understand that when someone here has a bottle, they only want to swap for a HTF one, OR when the Lab put outs bottles on Ebay, I rarely win any because the bids go over $60 and I just can't afford that...so, do any of these old scents ever come back so semi-newbies like me can maybe buy a bottle or two at the regular lab price?? I would hate to think that I would never be able to get my hands on some of the older, wonderful scents that I would LOVE to try...any info??

I recently got a frimp of this too, it seems it's discontinued. http://www.bpal.org/.../3022-midnight/ Did you order something very limited release? I've noticed they've been tossing discontinued and rares in with things like that. Mine came with my Trading Post order. Oops... yes, mistake..the Ebay auction bottle came from BPTP...not BPAL!! Man, I need sleep!

I've noticed they've been tossing discontinued and rares in with things like that. It was a recent Ebay auction that BPAL had...I won a bottle of Dark Choco pepper smoked caramel...so maybe that is why since it was for a older LE bottle.

Oh my!!!! LOVE this!! I just got my bottle from the BPAL Ebay auctions...I am glad that I get all the wonderful scents... In the bottle: First sniff, CHOCOLATE...very dark and yummy! Oh Skin: I get choco, pepper, and caramel!! They blend and smell like a warm, chocolaty peppery caramel-y sweater! Dry Down: Just like above, but scent fades a bit, but in a good way. Really does remind me of Villainess' Friction, but with the hint of choco! SO GLAD I won this auction! LOVE IT!! I think BPAL needs to bring back these Box O' Chocolates every year! YUM!

I recently got a frimp of this too, it seems it's discontinued. http://www.bpal.org/topic/3022-midnight/ Oh ok....thanks for the info....kinda feel special getting an imp of a discontinued scent, huh?

Hello all...so, hope this is a good place for this, but I got my bottle today from BPAL Ebay auctions and I was sent 6 great imps along with it...I was looking up the scents and descriptions and one I was scent is called Midnight. I couldn't find it here and I even looked at the BPAL website to see if I could find it in the GC list and couldn't...any ideas where this came from? I also got an imp of Karme and found that was a Will Call imp...very nice! But any info on the Midnight?

P.S....Here is an example of how wonky the Lab can be when it comes to orders, so, I JUST placed an order for one bottle of WOmb Furie on 2/27..it shipped out on 2/28 and I JUST got the CnS today, the 29th...this will be the fastest I ever got an order from them, but also have had some that took almost a month, so hope you are doing better...I am sure the imps will arrive for you soon, but you know, you now have to let us know when you get them so we know there is a happy ending!

Well, I wouldn't try to worry too much. I have placed a few orders with the lab and some come pretty quick, and some do take a while. Some orders even showed up at my door and THEN I got a Click N Ship number for it...crazy, I know. I had ordered a few bottles from the last Yules, and I was reading everyone's reviews on the same bottles they ordered and received...even orders I placed BEFORE them. Then they eventually showed up. I too tried sending e-mails and they are not very good at responding, at least in a timely manner. I would get answers about orders way after they would show up. So, since you are in the UK, I can imagine it taking longer to get to you...I live in the states, in fact, only about 3 states away and it takes weeks to get orders to me...so try to be patient..at least the first order showed up, so there is hope the other in not far behind. Maybe if you can, might be worth a phone call to the lab asking about it. Hope you get your goodies soon!!!

Well, I just want to add....What's wrong with being 40???

In the bottle, first sniff, very pink and strawberry... On skin: starts to get a little powdery and tart, but not in a bad way...turns almost a hair floral-y on me, odd! After a few minutes: I get a hint of strawberry and a hint of vanilla...both very faint. This, to me, is a very girly scent...soft and feminine.

Hello..thanks for the info, but I have no trouble finding Satsuma products, in general, what I can't find is the Satsuma perfume oil! I found all the other things, lotions, shower gels, soaps, body butter, etc etc, but seems the oil is discontinued. (?) So, that is why I am hoping there are some nice forumites out here that have a wonderful nose for something close!!

Hello all.... wondering if you can help me to find a scent like The Body Shops "Satsuma" scent? I see that The Body Shop doesn't seem to sell that anymore, :@&*$!: so does someone know of a BPAL scent that would be the same? Satsuma is a nice citrus-y orange-y Autumn-y scent? Any ideas?? THANKS!!

Yeah, I looked online too, but there was no perfume oil to be had...OR in the shop here at the mall!! But thanks for the info.. I will look into it!!!

I got this one as a frimp from the lab...smells ok in the imp, but to be honest, when I put it on, smelled like a Band-Aid!

This is a WINNER! I used my soap for the first time today and it is soooo yummy!! It smells GREAT and has a wonderful exfoliating texture! I wish I could find this scent in an oil, lotion, snack bar, drink...etc etc! Anyone of you out there debating on whether or not to get this, GET IT!! You won't be disappointed.

Hello all...hope this is the right place to post, but this will be my first Lupercalia release (only been into BPAL since July 2011) and I was wondering if someone can give me an idea of any returning scents that might be coming up so I can review and plan an order? You know, kind of like how Snow White seems to come out every Yule...thanks for any info!!

Wet: Got LOTS of raspberry....but not overly sweet! Dry down: OOH...still raspberry, but then the cookie pokes out from the corner! After a few minutes: Mmmm....gets a little more of that crumbly cookie smell..but this is very nice...not overpowering as I thought it might be. This is my fav out of the 3 imps in this pack!

This one is a hard one to review... I do get a very mild "snowy" feel to it...and I get a bit of rum smell, but the rum isn't too boozy, if that makes sense. At least compared to BPAL's booze notes. I haven't decided if I like this one yet...it is nice. It fades fast on me and the throw is low. I might have to swap this one away.

Well...like some of the others, I get mostly honey in the drydown. Wet, I get both gingerbread and honey, but then the honey is dominant on me. But it smells JUST like the honey you get out of those cute bear shaped bottles! It is nice, but not for me.
