Numanoid

Hmm....this is an odd one for me, in a good way! In decant: Get the slightly sweet vanilla tea. Very simple and nice! In damp hair: Huh? It has very light throw on me, but it seems I get something different every time I catch a whiff of it. It will smell simple and sweet one second and then the other, it gets a bit....I don't want to say manly, but I can so get a unisex vibe from it. Might be the musk. It goes back and forth on me. Kind of fun! Very lovely and light. Not sure if it is for me....haven't decided!

So, just to say, most of the BPAL GC scents don't seem to work on me, with the exception of Snake Oil and Poisoned Apple. However, seems the hair glosses of the same GC scents seem to be amazing! In decant: Yummy spices...does remind me of what a small bazaar in a far off land would smell like. In damp hair: Not a lot of throw, medium I would say. I get the spices and after a few, I get the slightest whiff of the floral....not a lot, which is good since I can't do florals. After a few, it stays true and lightens up a bit.....gets softer and less throw. This is a lovely scent for hair!!

2009 version.... Whoa....sticky sweet is right. Sniffing in the bottle, I get pure sugar, coma inducing, sweetness. Like melted down candy corn with some extra sugar thrown in for good measure. On Skin: Stays the same. This is too much for me, and I am a foody lover. This might be good to layer it with something to tame it a bit, but WHOA NELLY! Alone, it is too sweet and cloying for me!

Decant labeled XI Oh my.....OH MY!! Sniffing in the bottle, I get a whiff of gorgeous chocolate, caramel, smoky, and a hint of cinnamon. On Damp Hair : I LOVE this!! It stays the same as what I sniffed. It has a light throw, but I am getting the chocolate with a drop of caramel and a hint of that lovely cinnamon. It is a soft cinnamon as well. ANYONE out there that has her decanted siblings, please let me adopt!!

I was skeptical in trying this, since ambers, any florals, woodsy notes tend to not like me, but I thought, what the heck. Add me to the "why didn't I get a full bottle of this" bandwagon!!! In Decant: I get a sweet pine scent. That got me nervous at first because anything pine can turn to cat pee on me. In damp hair: Oh MY!! So wonderful!! Just as others had described, it is a soft, sweet, yet wood scent....not as in a chunk of wood you throw in the fireplace, but as in being in a sunlit woody area. This is so perfect for spring!! It has a low throw and the scent doesn't last long (on me at least) but this is perfect!! Anyone like me that has a fear of the notes listed above, no worries! I am sure it is just how it is blended, but I don't get amber or florals! I might need to hunt down a bottle of this!!

Ok...So I know I had this scent a long time ago and realized I didn't make a review! but that was back in the day when I (and my nose) were new to BPAL and I recently got this back. WHY did I ever give it up in the first place?? In Bottle: fresh tart apples!! Yummy! I have a bottle of Sugar Slathered Candy Apple, and to me, this is a sharper, sweeter version. On Skin: YUM! I am a foody lover, so this is right up my alley. I get apples and lots of sugar. Halloween in a bottle. As it warms up, I get the teeniest bit of the bourbon. Any booze note can go real good or real bad for me, and this is a good one. I don't get any cinnamon in this at all. Drydown: This is so yummy.....this is like the more edgier sister of SSCA. I love this! It has a medium throw on me. Turns into a candy corn scent with that apple in the background. Amazing!!

In imp: Yep....I also get a fudgy type chocolate note out of this. On Skin: Chocolate note does fade pretty fast, but like stated above, there is a citrus type scent coming out with a tiny hint of the chocolate. Dry down: Chocolate note fades a bit more and there is that sharp and a bit tangy citrus. Medium throw to me. Nice, but wish there was more chocolate to it!

Pretty much what was said above!! Got a little tester of this from a decant circle order (thank you!!!) In vial: rich dark chocolate! I get a little bit of the amber....no musk yet. On Skin: The amber and musk come out a little more....with the mix of the dk choco....it is very good! Dry down: Stays the same as when applied. I get a little more of the musk now, but this isn't overpowering! Very nice!

Yeah....not a winner for me, sadly!! Cinnamon and cardamom are usually winners....and of course any kind of vanilla is good, right?? In my damp hair, I don't detect any cinnamon. Maybe a bit of vanilla, but I get overpowered by the oudh. I don't smell tobacco either, which I was nervous about, but sadly, this is a bit too.....manly......for me. Off to the sales pile!

Thought I would try this because I always wanted the Lab's honey note to work, but in the perfume oils, it all turned to sour powder. So here goes with the HG... In decant: Very sweet honey! Smells so good....instantly think of a warm spring day. Oh damp hair: Oh my!! This is so lovely! It immediately turns to that frosty honey as described. It is soft, yet has a good throw. I used about 4 squirts on my damp hair. Verdict: This WORKS for me!! So glad I got some of this! If honey notes in the oils don't work for you, try this! It is fresh and sweet but not cloying at all.

Decant - labeled LXI WOW!!! Smells like a cherry/almond pastry. Maybe a slight hint of some booze note. Can't wait to try! Will update when I use it in my hair tomorrow! Ok....so ON my damp hair.. Yes, cherry and some almond and a pastry/cake-like scent. Surprisingly not so strong once applied. Pretty strong in the bottle and for a few seconds on, but then it really softens to a lovely, pale, and sweet cherry almond scent! I SO love this! To me, this is a perfect spring/summer hg. Not too heavy scent-wise, but enough to get whiffs of the fruit/pastry yummy-ness!

Interesting!! I was frottled this!! I had to try to find the review, since there are a ton of different 13's out there. This is the white label, so from reading, it is this original one. Funny how your brain detects scents that you think aren't there until you read what's in it. I would have never guessed any citrus or floral in this when sniffed or even on!! But now that I read and re-sniff, yeah.... I can "see" where there is some citrus and a hint of floral. However... ON!!! Oh my!! Citrus for me is an iffy thing and florals are a NO, but I get neither! Maybe it's because it is 10 years old now, but it is nothing but a yummy tootsie roll on me!!!! I love this, since I am a foody lover....stays on for hours as well!! A winner for me!

Well, my review won't be as elaborate but here goes!! In bottle: Yep....that sharp, ginger and incense scent that is Shub-Niggurath. On damp hair: I used about 4 squirts and rubbed in. It immediately softened up to a warm, ginger-cookie type scent!! So lovely....after a few, the incense starts to come out, but surprisingly, this is not too heavy, scent wise. Much stronger in the bottle than on. This is a perfect Fall/Winter hair gloss. I am a foody lover and this one isn't too foody for me, but I still really like it. Has a little sexy edge to it as well. Update: Oh no! Been about half an hour, and this faded pretty fast....but what I now smell is a dry dusty something. Was hoping this would work. Smelled great the first few minutes. Oh well....that's what it's all about, right?

Got a decant of this.... The perfume oil didn't work for me, but I have noticed that some of the hair glosses in the same scents tend to work. In bottle... yep, smells like cake and a little bit of tea. In damp hair: Still get a bit of cake but something almost floral? Interesting since there doesn't seem to be any floral notes listed. After a few minutes the currants show up, but all in all, for me, this is just ok. Not a lot of scent. Kind of pale and not a floral fan. But hey, always fun to try!

Ooh!! Love!! In decant, a blast of a juicy, red apple! On my damp hair, the apple stays sweet and true. I am guessing the honey helps with that. It has a little edge to it, but to me, not as much as the Green Apple one. The scent on this one is softer to me as well. I think this is a perfect spring/summer hair gloss. Just like the green one!! BOTH winners! Update: This ended up having medium throw, but LASTING power! I smell it on my hair a good 24 hours later. LOVE this one!

This is lovely!! First sniff in my decant.....yep, GREEN apple! Oh smells so good! On my damp hair, it actually softens. I get the apple and a bit of the orchid. It does have a sharpness to it....not sure if that is the bergamot or tiare since I am not sure what those alone smells like, but it is a nice soft throw. Not as sharp as I thought it would be being it is a green apple scent. To me this is a perfect spring/summer scent. Not too heavy, but has a little bite to it.

Yuletide might be right up your alley!! That is, so far, the only winter scent I have found that works for me. I do love Snow White, but to me, that isn't winter-y to me. Yuletide is more Christmas-y to me. No ice or snow notes, but a nice holly/wreath kind of scent.

Detestable Putrescense maybe.......described as Melty vanilla ice cream. It is very soft vanilla and very nice. Not overly sweet or cloying.

Don't know what I can add that the other reviewers didn't, other than it is a lovely creamy cotton sugar!! Now, Boo perfume oil didn't agree with me, so I wasn't sure if the HG would, but it is very good!! It is sweet but not cloying. I think foody and non-foody lovers will like this. I also think this would be good to use in warmer months as well since it is more on the soft side! A winner! UPDATE!! Ok....it has been 6 hours since I put this in my damp hair and I can STILL smell the goodness!! Amazing! I have only tried 3 other different kinds of HG (Snake Oil, Snow White, & Pumpkin Spice Everything) and those lasted a couple hours....but BOO.....wow! Still going strong!

Sniff in bottle: Like Muskwitch said....bubbly and sweet!! I don't associate that with snow or cold. Maybe that is supposed to be the "frosted" part of it? On skin: The fizziness goes away and I start to smell the vanilla/sandalwood come out. Dry down: I get a little bit of some pine (?) or something woodsy...very soft vanilla, but mostly the sandalwood is what I smell. It is lovely and has a soft "walking in the winter woods" feel to it, but I don't think this is for me.

Agreed with above!! This is beautiful Snow White scent but now in my hair!!! A couple squirts in my hand and ran through damp hair....perfect! It is the true SW scent as I have tried in perfume form. It goes on real soft as well....as in not overpowering at all. Also, I know we all have those one or two scents that we so want to love but our skin hates, it.....I think that if Snow White is that or you, I recommend trying the hair gloss. Beautiful, light, that slight hint of floral (which I am one where florals HATE me and vice versa). Very glad I got a bottle of this!!

Hmmm......this is good, I think! Sniff in bottle: I get a spicy leather....probably the gingerbread, but it isn't like other scents I have smelled with gingerbread in them! On Skin: The gingerbread immediately comes out on me, mingled with the leather. It is a nice, manly leather, but not a lot of throw on me. Dry down: I think I detect the fruitcake notes...very pale, but I guess it is only crumbs! I too do not get any tobacco from this....just gingerbread and leather. Kind of close to Gingerbread Jolly Roger (to my nose) but no aquatic notes of course. Not sure how I feel about this one. It's an iffy!

I am never sure about booze notes, but gotta try, right? In bottle: Yep, there is rum, but it is soft and foody to me. Like what rum would smell like in a cake, and not out of a bottle. A little hint of some vanilla possibly? On Skin: Turns soft and lovely. I get soft rum and soft vanilla. I don't detect any clove...maaaayybeee some almond, but just a sliver! Dry down: Surprisingly very little throw on me...considering booze notes go crazy loud on me! To me it turns to a sophisticated rum/vanilla scent. Soft and inviting, yet I don't know if it is for me.

Normally, anything with any kind of booze or beer note in it frightens me! BUT I can't pass up anything with chocolate!!! Sniff in bottle: Yummy, soft chocolate....like a pale version of Bliss. on Skin: The whisky note comes out and still has the soft chocolate scent along with it. So far very lovely! Not a lot of throw. Dry down: I get more of a slight dry cocoa out of this...which is fine with me. So far I don't detect any beer or booze and that too is ok. It is almost like when you open a container of baking cocoa and you get a little bit in your nose that might make you sneeze? Like that, but on a soft level...in a good way! SO glad I got this! I think this will be amazing with age! Update.... Been a couple hours, and the powder went away and it turned into a yummy chocolate frosting cupcake! I still get no booze and this has very little throw, but it is still amazing! Can't wait to see how this ages!

Hmmm.... very interesting! I think this is the first kind of scent that is actually stronger ON than in the bottle. First sniff I get a pale and soft gingerbread/leather blend. Once applied, it explodes on me. The gingerbread spice really comes out....and then I do smell the aquatic and leather notes. After a few minutes the gingerbread spice fades and I get water, wood, and leather. Hmmm....this is not for me. Was hoping the aquatic note would not be this prominent, but on me it is. I think this would smell amazing on a guy, but not on this gal!
