I got different impressions of this, compared to everyone else. I did get the creamy milk and sweet honey, but I also got a grainy impression. It reminds me of being home and plucking a stalk of wheat from the ground and nibbling on it as I walk. Very organic, very fresh. Once on, I get a good throw of the creamy milk and a bit of nuttiness. A keeper for sure.

Definitely a man's scent in the bottle. In the bottle it was pipe smoke and leather, and a sharp smell of mint. Very nice, and oddly, very refreshing. Once on, I smell like a Junior Mint! I like! Something I'm going to buy a 5mL of for summer days.

This was an intriguing scent in the bottle - I can't even pick out one note from this imp. It smells lovely. Once dry, it's a gorgeous mix of fruit and floral, and soft enough that it's like walking through a lovely garden. I'm not sure if it's a 5mL bottle worth, but it's a definite possibility.

This is tangy, peachy juiciness in the bottle, which is right up my alley. Unfortunately, once I put it on and it dries down, it disappears until it's a faint, powdery scent. Too bad.

I'm one of the few who didn't like this scent. It started out beautifully in the bottle - golden honey and sweet cream which were luscious. Once on, though, those two faded into the background and soft florals came out in droves. Too much floral, since it wasn't tempered by anything else. By drydown, it had become all carnation. Not a bad scent, but not a floral for me. Too bad.

This was sweet, wet roses in the bottle and on the skin until drydown. Once dry though, the moonflower took over and my roses faded away. Too bad. It was a pretty smell, but not enough to buy more.

Brimming with native fruits and flowers, but also imbued with the power of native earth magicks: apricot and pomegranate with deep plum, wild roses, two Middle Eastern pale musks, white orchid, iris and sweet roots. Definitely my kind of scent. Sweet and fruity, but just a hint of soft musk to keep it from smelling like candy. Once it's on, apricot burst into the forefront and the florals mingle with the musk to make it creamy and soft. I definitely like this one. It stayed true to scent, didn't get powdery or candylike, and gave off a decent amount of throw. 5mL for sure.

This is the very first BPAL scent I'm ambivilant about. I expected a lot more rose, but I ended up with a strange, sweet red wine scent. I'm still sitting here sniffing my wrists, and I think I like it, but I'm not overwhelmed by it.

All I can say is...........JASMINE

In the Bottle: all sweet plum wine, deep in color and heady. Wet: Hmm, the wine has taken a backseat and it's become more nutty and fruity. Dry: It's not bad, but I smell like a car freshener. Kinda sweet and soft. Pretty, but not overwhelming on me.

I'm a mongo Lab rose fan, so I had high hopes for Two, Five, and Seven. As usual, the Lab came through! I loved this scent. The mix of roses brought to mind a huge, bursting bouquet of blooms that is sweet and lively at the same time. If you're a rose fan, give this one a shot.

I'm joining the "I wanted to love it" club. Pomegranate and roses, two of my favorite Lab scents. Unfortunately, in this one, the pomegranate disappears and the roses go oh-so wrong on my skin. In the bottle: it was all sweet juicy pomegranate without a hint of rose, but that wasn't necessarily a a bad thing. Wet: The rose piped up, but once mixed with the pomegranate, it went to an acidic bite. Dry: Aaalll roses, but not in a good way. The acid left, but the roses never got any better. Into the pile.

In the Bottle: Strong florals, too many to count. Also, sweet and creamy. Wet: Wow, this is beautiful! It's such a perfect mix of florals, not too perfumey, but creamy and lush and blooming with glory. I agree it's a nighttime scent, one that you wear so that a person has to get up close to benefit. Dry: This is definitely a keeper. It stayed true and perfect to the imp scent the whole time. It's a definitely 5mL.

In the Bottle: Goddess loves me. She made pomegranate. The wine is there too, just putting a bit of bite into the juicy fruit. Wet: Myrtle and rose, are now cruising, and pomegranate is sitting in the backseat, kerchief in place to keep her hair from getting too mussed. They are lovin' each other! This still smells fabulous. Dry: It's still there, but after about 30 minutes I have to bury my nose in my wrist to get a whiff of it. I'm definitely getting a big bottle. If I have to slather, so be it!

In the Bottle: So lovely! Spicy, dark florals, to me, with the jasmine just barely peeking through. Wet: :::and jasmine delivers a one-two punch and LadyNoah is down! Looks like a KO, folks!::: Dry: It's muted down some, but the throw is kicking my ass. Jasmine! Jasmine just hates my guts. She puts me down, kicks me some more, and flings sand in my face for good measure. Dammit! Off to sell.

I wanted to love this one. I'm a huge fan of the Lab rose scents, so Ophelia was on my "to try" list. I got it as a freebie from the Lab (go Labbies), but it's definitely not for me. In the Bottle: Flowers! Not a problem, because I love florals, but there's something very musty about these blooms. Wet: Gah. All white rose, strong and dusty. It's got incredible throw as someone mentioned, unfortunately, that's not a good thing in this case for me. Dry: I just can't take the white rose. It's too dusky for me - the scent became dry and nostalgic on my skin. Who knew I would find a BPAL where the rose actually turned against me?! Off to sell.

In the Bottle: I'm in love. If I could drink this, I would - it's all juicy pomegranate. Wet: Oh, yum! Sweet, juicy, tangy, and crisp. I'm trying to resist the urge to lick my arms, because it's so. good. Dry: There is a 5mL of this in my future! Stayed true to scent and has a good throw. I can smell bits of it wafting up at me as I type. Definitely something to wear when I'm in the mood to be nibbled on. It's definitely fruity, so those who don't like that scent class would probably want to avoid it. For fruit lovers like me, it's pure heaven.

In the Bottle: Sharp florals, but lovely. Wet: Gah! Jasmine! Dry: Jasmine, jasmine, and more jasmine. That's all I get from this one. And evidently, I am not going to be able to have anything with this scent in it. My chemistry pumps it up until it overwhelms everything. Dammit.

I confess, I bought this perfume simply because the story of Jacob's ladder is where I got my son's name. How could I pass up trying a perfume that had my own Angel's name on the bottle? I'm so, so glad I decided to be a sentimental mom. In the Bottle: Weird. Smelled almost like warmed baby lotion. Wet: Alll amber. Warm, spicy, but so gentle that I thought my skin was going to eat it before I even got to enjoy it. Dry: It came back to give such a strong, beautiful smell! This reminds me of visiting family, of sitting in a window and just basking in the sun. It's comfort in a bottle and I'm going to have to scour the Forums for more! A definite bottle to hoard.

Ode on Melancholy In the Bottle: Soft and shy, with gentle florals and, for me, a strong scent of sandalwood. Wet: Beautiful! Still soft and shy, with the white musk coming to the front and drawing out the wisteria. I am loving this floral! Dry: Oh, my. My beautiful rose has made it's appearance. Still soft and shy, and just incredibly ladylike. This is a keeper!

Nuit In the Bottle: Jasmine! It smells like a drawer sachet to me, with no rose, but I'll try it. Wet: Ahh, there's my rose! The jasmine went completely down and now rose is blooming. I can also smell the underlayer of warm incense. Dry: Blast it. The rose is still there, but the musk came up too much. For some reason I'm getting the impression of rose incense sticks - and not in a good way. This was a retry (I sold my first imp) but it's still reacting wrong with my chemistry. Off to the Sales pile.

My first review! Let's hope it's decent. In the Bottle: I get a warm, almondy vanilla scent from this one. I can smell that undernote of honey that is described. Wet: Honey, honey, honey! It went right to the front of the line, but I can still smell some of the vanilla lurking with a bit of spice (the amber maybe?) Drydown: The honey and vanilla have merged to a warm, sweet glow. I have to be reeeally close to get to this, but when I do, it brings back memories of sitting on my grandparents' porches and savoring a piece of "Bit O'Honey" candy. I am so loving this scent! It goes onto the 5mL list.
