Oh my oh my oh my. This is glorious!!! im in love and i think this scent just scyrocketed to my top ten, possibly even top 5! Its sooo calming and lovely. Its very feminine and mysterious. It was pouring rain today and i got on the bus soaked with water welled up in my shoes and my pants soaked to my knees but i just sniffed my wrists and i felt FINE!!! and i just got my period so needless to say i shouldnt have been so calm (im not calm by nature either, i stress out far too easily). This is a great year round scent. It has a deep woody base and light fresh lemongrass topnotes. Blend gorgoeous on my skin. ANd i dont even usually liek lemon. It has a very asian/indian vibe to it. Im surprised this one doesnt get better reviews btu its defiantely a keeper for me and most likely soon to be a 5ml purchase. Ahhhhhh

i agree, hamadryad is deeeelish. i'm not sure if i'm completely into the tarot blends. i would really like the star, though. what is scherezade like, asa? It has mid east spices, kinda like a sweeter morocco. Very sultry and i always get loads of complements when i wear it. Its not a fiery spice like cinnamon but more of a mellow sweeter and exotic spice. Also for cinnomon my rec is chimera.

ok it doesnt have cinnamon but you have to try scherezade. Its amazing.

I hate white florals. I was afraid with the white tea i wouldnt like this. Thankfully i can barely smell it. Wet: This is a lovely soft pink scent. NO spice just soft pink rose with a slight kick. Drydown: Carnation is coming through with a bang. This is mostly all i am getting. NO more rose and no white tea. I would have liked it more with a bit of rose in it but im still adoring this scent because i ADORE carnations. This is a very spicy and powdery carnation. I really liek this a lot and would defiantely consider a big bottle, but will mostl likely wait until spring.

I swore that i already reviewd this scent. Oh well ... here goes. I absolutely adore this one. It is so smooth and sexy (without smelling like sex). Its also a major comfort scent for me. I wear this at night a lot before going to bed. It completely relaxes me and helps me unwind and fall asleep faster. Im a major honey fan and amber just always seems to smell glorious on my skin so this is a definatley winner. Im waiting for my 5ml and my imp is 3/4ths done! Ahhh i hope it gets here in time. Proabbly another week. I think i can make it

I rally like this alot. Its very very feminine and sweet. At first the ylang ylang packs a very strong bite but that fades quickly to leave a lovely rose, ylang ylang blend with something else peaking through, might be either the orris or the stephanotis. Very nice. I also get the faintest bit of dark myrr peaking through which makes this scent not too overly high pitched floral. I guess the myrr grounds this scent out. Im very happy with this and will use and keep my imp. I probably wont get a big bottle because i just like juliet better for a sweet day floral. Nice

Oh wow this is just an incredible wonderful scent. I am so enamored with this and its no surprise because it smells alot like alice. This is definatley Alice's fruity cousin. I know they share bergamot but i also smell a faint spiciness in the back which makes me think this might also have some carnation in it. Either that or am just really a big fan of bergamot cause that is what im getting alot from this and from alice. This isnt too peachy either which is excellent because im not the biggest fruity fan. I will probably wait till next fall before purchasing this one, and wear alice more in the winter (i have a big bottle of alice on its way). They are very similiar but different enough to not feel bad about ordering both in big bottles! If anyone has an imp they dont want ill be happy to take it off there hands with a swap.

oh yum oh yum oh yummy yum yum yum!! Ive died and gone to scent heaven. This is the yummiest sweetest, foodiest and i wish i could lick this off my wrists scents. I smell juts like i walked into a dessert and coffee shop first thing in the morning when all the pastries, cookies and brownies are still fresh right out of the oven with the smell of hazelnut cappacino brewing in the background. What a glorious comfort scent. Im going to wear this a lot when im home. When i first put it on i had a bowl of ice cream sitting in front of me. I do admit that i got the ice creambefore i put the gluttony on but i think even if i didnt i would have immediately went for it anyhow because i know this is going to evoke major sweet cravings. Ill have to watch myself on this or else im going to be a house by christmas. Simply delicious. I have so many big bottles right now but as soon as my imp runs low i might just consider getting one, and at the least will be ordering or swapping for another imp. Simply devine... a definate top ten.

This is very sweet and foody on me. At first it is overpowering almond essence reminicsent of black phoenix. Thankfully that dies away immediately upon touching my skin. Shortly after a nice mix of vanilla and cinnamon come through. This is pretty much where the scent seems to linger on me. Its nice but very very foody and reminds me of a nice cinnamon marzipan flavored cookie. I will probably end up swapping this away as this is a less likeable and less wearable hellcat.
-
In the bottle this is really yummy almonds and oranges. Mmm im feeling im go ing to love this. Then comes the drydown and all i get is rose.. ahh humbug. What a downer. The scent i wanted to work the least on me was teh strongest here. Im not a huge rose fan. I prefer the roses in spellbound, eve and alice. This is also very very light. Ill probably end up swapping it which is disspointing because i had such high hopes for this (love clove, orange, nutmeg and almonds). phewwy

This is very lovely but i dont love it. The spices are nice but there just isnt enough oompf here. I guess i like my oils and fragrance to be really strong. I want to catch wafts of it all day long. That is not the case with Old Morocco. This one fades super fast and never really has anything more than a very close to the skin, spicy scent. Im going to try layering this over O as i think this will give O a nice new dimension to it. I alredy ordered a big bottle of this unsniffed based on all the reviews and my love for carnation and spices (Alice and Scherezade are my favorite scents). Alas i am left with dissapointment. Though a lovely scent this was just too much like BCBG Sexy for me (which i already own and never wear) and lasted just as long (not very) . Ill probably end up swapping or selling my 5ml. This also turned burnt on me after 2 hours. I hate my darn chemistry sometimes.
-
At first i really liked this. I did get teh cola fizzyness on first application which quickly mellowed out to a clean skin scent on me. It reminded me a lot of nile musk. After about an hour or so it ended up turning all burnt on me. Not pretty burnt either, liek woodsmoke and ashes. Same thing happened with strength so im thinking that i just might not be able to wear voodoo blends. Up for swap this one will go.

This smells almost identical to snake oil, exept with alittle less spice and power. Its gorgeous and sexy and although its too much like snake oil to get a bigger bottle (i already have one on the way), i will definatley use up my imp and might even decide to eventually use this oil in snake oils stead (after i finish my snake oil 5 ml). Another gorgeous creation EDIT: I want to change my original post about this being very similiar to snake oil. It is but only in teh first 30 minutes on me. Then it begins to turn much warmer and inscensy on me. i Do not dislike it but i dont like it nearly as much snake oil and will not be purchasing a big bottle, but decinately using up the imp.
-
This is just absoultely the most lovely, sexy, let-me-jump-on-your-lap-and-lick-you scent! Im completely anamored! I am also surprised i didnt review this yet. Strange. I swore i did. Anyway i feel very gorgeous and confident in this. I was about to jump a complete stranger on the bus just cause i was getting so worked up with teh scent wafting up my nose So i already ordered a big bottle and am soooo delighted i came across this site to discover such wonderful smells that evoke such amazing feelings.
-
I love this. At first smell it is overpowering jasmine. Soon the jasmine falls to the wayside and magnolia, orchid and black amber come through. I didnt get much rose in this but thats good as i am not the biggest rose fan. The drydown on this is very very nice. Its definatley a dark evil floral blend. I feel wicked in this. Would be great for a date.
-
When i first smelled this it was pure lemon juice. Slowly it started to smell more like tea and ginger but remained a tart white scent. It slowly powerded up a bit but is definately not me. I had to wash it off and put soemthing darker on. This is a very innocent "good girl" perfume. Too much for me For white scents i prefer emblaming fluid.
-
I get all sweet pea, lily and musk in this one. To my nose this is a gorgeous fruity/flowery combination. Sweet but not cloying and very very feminine. It would be a great compliment to sweet pea B&BW lotion. this would be great for a young girl but not too childish for an adult to wear. I wouldnt expect this on my mother, but im 25 and feel totally comfortable wearing this to work as an everyday scent. Im definately goign to keep my imp and use it up and may order another imp but i doubt i will purchase a big bottle.
-
THis is very very dark, very strong and very headshoppy! Definatley not my type of scent. I swapped it.
-
Ive come to believe that my skin just gets along so well with amber and musk (especially red musk!). Out of the bottle this smelled just like old lady. I put it on and thought immediately that i was going to detest it. 10 minutes later i realize my wrist is glued to my nose. Wow this has turned absolutely gorgeous on me!!! No more old lady here.. just a gorgeous sensual deep rose blend that is so wonderfully meshed with the musk and amber that it doesnt smell overly rosy at all on me. Which is a good thing! I tend to like darker and more serious floral or spicy scents and this is just another winner to add to my wishlist of big bottles! Who knew that i could ever love anything with rose in it so much (this and alice have won me over to loving it)! The icing on the cake is taht it lasts fooooorrrever!!! It melts into my skin and doesnt smell overly powerful though which is good. Im going to be ordering a big botle with my queen of spades LE purchase. Lovely!
-
This is soo absoulutely gorgeous i want to take a big bath in it! Its not too sweet with the perfect touch of cream, flowers (rose), and spice (carnation). Its sweet and innocent in a not so sweet and innocent way. Like the girl next door that you know is a closet nympho. Like britney spears in her "chaste" days. LOL! Ok i dont want to ruin the image of my precious alice. She is delicious and perfect and great for work, a hot date, happy hour, dinner with friends or dancing... just about anything. I bought a big bottle of this and cannot wait to get it. Im in scent heaven.

This was soooo sweet and foody. It was missing a spicy element. If it was deeper or had some spice i would have liked this but this was very one dimensional on me. With out any other element to it it was just boring and overly sweet. I swapped this away to someone who will hopefully cherish it.
-
THis was way too sickly sweet for me. I don t feel like the rose and pomegranite blended that well once it was on. I tried to hold out wait for a nice drydown but it never came and after about 2 hours i scrubbed this off. It was really strong and i was constantly getting wiffs of it and it was making me sickly. For rose i prefer alice, spellbound and eve.
-
I agree with others. bathroom cleaner. Nice but i woudlnt want to smell like that. Swapped it away.
-
Her descriptions are so true to the oils that is really feel that this is a work of art im sniffing! I ended up swapping this one because im not a huge rose fan and i just love eve, spellbound and alice much more. The description is sooo on point though. Ive never imagined that you can smell translucency in soemthign but this really smells like a translucent rose and for some reason reminds me of what moon essence might smell like (not the rose but that translucency that is seeping through the oil throughout the whole experience). This dried down very light cool rose on me. It was very nice but i just dont imagine myself wearing it on a regular occasion like alice, but a work of art nonetheless!

THis is one of my favorite of all the BPAL oils ive tried (cant yet pick a fave out of this, snake oil, hellcat or alice). Its so glorious that i can not stop sniffing my wrists when i wear it. I feel like im spirrited away to a foreign land and strolling slowly through a open market bazaar with foreign people, foreign goods. This also reminds me of the movie alladin for some reason. Could be those mid east spices. This is just glorious and i feel relaxed, very self assured and delicously sensual when i wear this. I just purchased a big bottle and i cannot wait for it to arrive. Edit: Im wearing this for the first time at work and i have gotten two unsolicited compliments! This one has just skyrocketed to be my most fave BPAL scent.
