The Coiled Serpent: A potent yogic oil that stimulates the kundalini, provokes spiritual awakening, and releases the energy seated in your root chakra. Well, I am the first I think to review this... I heard alot of people wanted to know what this smells like. I am not too good at this, but I'll try! Here it goes... At first sniff this is pure patchouli to me. When wet on my skin, still strong patchouli smell... which I Love! When this starts to dry, it changes pretty rapidly. The patchouli softens, becomes a little sweeter. I'm really liking this. There is some sort of flower and fruit here as well. I'm not sure which kind, but if I was to guess it would be, magnolia and fig? Who the hell knows? All I know, is that the longer I have this on, the more I like it. It is very earthy, warm & comforting. I love this, so does my mom... she's already trying to snatch it! Just a little warning though, if you are not fond of patchouli, dont try this... to me it is the dominate note here. I sorry if this wasn't a good review, I am still fairly new to this note stuff! ETA: as the scent wears on the skin, it becomes like your own scent, just enhanced ever so lightly, this is not too strong at all, it wears perfect... I think I'm in love with this. This is not your typical patchouli blend! EDIT: Added Lab's description --Shollin

Sweet, smoky and sensually wicked. A thick, steamy scent, truly sinister in its voluptuous sexuality. The perfume of a demon's favored consort, or of the devil herself. Oleander with wet, sweet mandarin, lush magnolia, a rush of deep musk and a touch of spice. This is VERY SEXY!!!! I love how creamy it is. I never knew these scents could be so lush & creamy together! It almost has a coconut scent to it, even though there isnt any. I love this, and I will get a bottle as soon as I can! ETA: this is very deep and rich, the lasting power is pretty good, still going strong after 3 hours. Oh and BTW, perfect amount of spice... just great all the way around!

At first this is SO strong. It has a very tart cherry with cream supporting it. Lovely mingling between the two. As this dries, the cherry tones down a bit and the creaminess gets stronger. At this point the blend is at its best for me, creamy with a touch of tart cherry. I thought this was going to be too sweet for me, but I was wrong.... it's perfect just the way it is. I like this a lot & I will keep this cherry tart for when I want to feel extra girly

This is definitely my favorite blend from BPAL.... BY FAR! This is so gorgeous on my skin, I will have to buy many before it leaves! This starts off like Vanilla incense then it blooms with orchid, OMG... I cant even explain how beautiful. I am speachless, this never happens to me. This is true love, I wish I could wear this forever
-
This is gorgeous too... it starts off with a kick of Vetiver, but it calms down to a slightly spicy, creamy snake oil. I dont know exactly what opoponax smells like, but Im sure it helps with the loveliness of this blend. The pit is incredible so far!

This is incredibly beautiful... I never thought I could love snake oil more than I already did. This is Vanilla Snake oil, with an herbal scent grounding it. The touch of leather is amazing and this is definitely my favorite so far. Pure Love... I could not be happier & I will sell my soul for as many bottles as I can get my grimy hands on!

This is the pumpkin scent I have dreamed of for all my duration of this crazy perfume addiction! I am in love This is warm buttery pumpkin just like jack the first 3 minutes. Then it morphs and loses all that butter & becomes this sexy, slightly spicy, bright scent. I am so happy I have another bottle coming. This is very special & I will try to buy as many bottles as I possibly can! YUM!
-
I just recieved this today I am not too much of a mint lover, so I was a little sad when i saw #2 on the bottle. This is all chocolate covered coconut figs with orange glaze (NO MINT!!!). This is the sweetest scent I own (next to Mitzvah) It is extremely strong, but not in a bad way at all. I like that it is very complex, I adore my t-shirt too. ETA: This has become a little bitter because of the orange & now I smell a bit of mint... weird.

I found this in my stash when I was going through it the other day. I didnt even know I had it. This has been in the perfect location to age, wooden box, in my cold closet. This goes on boozy at first, that goes away fairly quickly. What I am left with is the most beautiful sweet musk I have ever had the pleasure of sniffing. If anyone had questions that this would age well, it does! I will treasure this 5 ml & I am thinkin of gettin another to age while I use this one, cause I see wearing this alot in my future!

This is a very interesting scent. I put it on and its milky, sweet, yet very dry. I like it, but Im not sure how much I would actually wear it. I decided to make my mom try it, without telling her the name.... she had a very strong reaction to smelling it. She sinffed her arm, and her whole body dig a jig-like dance it was uncontrollable, everytime she would sniff, it would be almost convulsion like! Very strange. Then she asked, what is this called, I told her & she started laughing... she was like "no wonder I felt so jerky everytime I smelled it!" She said she liked it, but she wasnt sure it would be something she could wear in public, due to uncontrolled body movement!!! LOL!!!!! ETA: I tried this for real today & I am shocked! This time, it is milky almond with a hint of sweet pine. I really like it, the pine lends a freshness to the milky almond note. I dont really smell the black patchouli, but there is something that I cant identify that makes this grounded. This is very lightly spiced, just enough to five it depth. I love this scent... its so unique. I hope people give this a couple tries, cause it really is incredible.

This is love in a bottle for me. This starts off as a little too buttery, but very quickly the currants shine through. This is the fluffiest cake with a light buttercream icing, topped with currant glaze. Fantastic I like foody scents, but this is my favorite by far (so far) This is going to make a wonderful dry oil spray... I think I will make a lotion as well, I need another bottle.... pronto!
-
This smells almost like how an innocent child would smell like. Its all powdery and soft, its such a cute blend. Creamy, powdery & innocent!
-
This is so strange! At first when this hits my skin its reeses pieces cereal... I mean exactly the cereal!!! Then it does dry down to something that is very much like chocolate covered Snow white. This really is a nice blend, but I doubt I will use more than this bottle
-
This is a lovely, fresh scent. I like the tinge of lime in it. It is very subtle though, I had to dump the whole bottle in a spray & mix it with some unscented dry oil spray. I do this with light scents, so I can put it all over my arms and legs. Good stuff, just a bit light for me
-
This is summed up in 2 words... sweet earth. Gorgeous in its simplicity & I am so happy I took a chance a got a bottle right off the bat! I love me some Death cap!
-
This is such a morpher! At first it is all lemony and smokey... not too keen on it. I let it settle down and it starts to soften, and becomes very sweet. After that stage it melds with some florals & becomes this incredible scent that needs to be sniffed. I dont really love the scent, but I cant stop sniffing & for some reason I feel this will really grow & become one of my favorites I am so impressed with the CD scents.
-
I thought I would love this one... It has so many notes I adore. At first this is a spicy, smokey scent that I like. As it dries, I dont know what happens, it turns into almost like a body odor smell. I got the same reaction with "O". (the only 2 scents from BPAL that did this, I have about 300) I will age this a bit & see if it gets better. I sure hope it does, cause its a little yucky on me

This is like a plummy snake charmer, just deliscious!!!! These CD blends have been amazing. THis is musky fruit at first, then as it dires, vanilla peeks out calms the musk down & leaves this crazy beautiful scent behind. It has the perfect amount of throw and juiciness. I love this scent & I will buy many bottles until its gone! -
WOW.... I thought I would enjoy this, but holy freakin shifukin-a!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is THE juiciest scent I have ever had the pleasure to sniff/wear! The pepper keeps it from being kid-esque. On my skin, the guava is most prominent, there is a bit of banana there (i hate bananas) I might just start eating them, cause this scent is so rich & delish. I wanna get another bottle, just to make a lotion... this would be dangerous in lotion form. Wow... thats it, Im off to slather some more on!
-
This is all Cassis with a slight bit of cherry on me. I am not a huge fan of Cassis, so this might go to another home I had high hopes for this one too!
-
This is definately my favorite so far of the CD blends. This is all sugared vanilla incense on a bed of white petals. This is hardly floral to my nose, mostly sugared vanilla Nag champa on my skin. I actually think this just made it straight to top 3 blends for me. I am in love and thanking Beth that I can get MANY bottles of this over this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ETA... typo

I just re-discovered this scent! I was looking for things to sell, that I had never used, this was one of them. I didnt remember what it smelled like, so I took a q-tip and wiped the lid, I only got a small amout on my skin & WOW!!!! This has some SERIOUS throw. This is a scent that you would want to wear on a cool spring night. It really is beautiful. In fact, I'm not going to sell it, even though I really need the money! I dont know if its because it was tucked away & aged really well... I keep all my oils in a huge drawer that never sees the light until I open it. What a great discovery & I cant wait to use it to go out, I think it will definately turn some heads.

DCCLXVIII This is my 4th bottle of Chaos. This is definately my favorite by far! This is a very dark & dense oil. At first it smells of Frankincense, red musk, sandalwood & honey. After about 10 mins, it calms down to a creamy, honeyed & resiny wood. This is very earthy, so I assume there is Patchouli in it, which I love. Not only is it the most fantastic scent out of the 4 I bought, it is filled to the RIM!!!! I will NEVER be able to finish this bottle, you only need a bit! I am extatic that I decided to get another one, and whoever packed up my box, picked this lovely scent for me! I love all the lab rats!!!
-
I hradly ever review.. but this is definately worth it! At first its bright and cheery sweet-tart grapefruit. Then about 10 mins later I get a creamy wave of complete and utter loveliness. I dont smell much wood, but I do get an herby edge from this scent. When it's completely dry, it is strong, yet soft... if that makes sense. This is beautiful from start to finish. I am so happy I have 2 bottles, I will use this all summer long. Oh, I forgot to mention, this scent loves the heat!!
-
This is the most incredible Creme Brulee scent ever! It is super strong at first, then it calms down to a nice sweet, vanilla caramel scent. It lasts a very long time on me. I am so happy with my niceness!
