For me, the notes that most often turn to powder are Honey and Black Musk. Also, Pomegranate just disappears, taking the rest of the blend with it. I have the same problem with most mints. I LOVE the smell of peppermint but it disappears on me in seconds.

Yeah, I think it's my body chemistry and it's probably just going to be a process of elimination as to what I can and can't wear. I'm gonna stay away from amber, honey and sandalwood because those seem to be the main offenders with people on here who have a similar problem. Thanks again for all the helpful suggestions.

Thanks for all the help.

@haley: I'm beginning to think that it might be the floral notes that are causing the baby powder smell??? I seem to do best with the traditionally masculine blends although I would really like to find something more on the androgynous side. My favorites that stay true to the original smell and work well with me are Darkness and Absinthe. I'm also still trying to figure out if I like Penitence and Baron Samedi if that makes any sense.Hahaha @Numanoid: I haven't even heard of Arcana or Conjure. I'll have to check them out. I still have a few imp's ears at home that I have yet to use. Hopefully those will work out. I'm really excited to try Event Horizon and 51.

Hey all! I've sampled a few dozen scents from BPAL but keep having the same problem. They smell great in the bottle/ vial but once I put them on they just smell like baby powder. This happens to me probably 90% of the time. Does anyone else have this problem? Any recommendations out there?
