This smells exactly like a Lush perfume scent to me, I think it is the honeyed vanilla note thats triggering some college scent memories. Lovely and strong! But I dont want to be transported to a time of hangovers in figure drawing class, and dorm life.

Got this in as a frimp from the lab.In the imp and in the first second of wear I smell freshly cut roses, but once the cinnamon starts- it overtakes all. Dries down to almost nothing, just the hint of cinnamon. Like I held red hot candies for too long.

I always like to rec Oblivion because it's strange and unusual and I've found nothing like it. Also Satyr because either you will love it or you will hate it, but either way, youll know how you feel about civet/animalistic scents.

This was one of my instant buys of the re-releases, and while I havent smelled the original, I dearly love this version of Umbra. Its very soft dark patchouli, the exact same kind that is in Black Moths, which is my all time favorite scent. The vetiver and the cedarwood mingle in the background helping to keep it very firmly entrenched in the soft shadows. I absolutely love it, and will probably pick up another bottle before these come down.

This smells like a mix of creamsicle and LUSH's jasmine scent. Pretty, sweet and fairly simple. Probably a good scent for a teenager or anyone wishing for a good summer time floral.

In the frimp this smells a lot like juicy fruit gum. Or the zebra stripe stuff? Very sugared fruits, not a lot of florals kicking in just yet. After applying to my wrist the over sugared ripe fruit smell disapates a bit, leaving behind the faintest dewy residue of light florals and gum. As a previous reviewer said this is very shimmery. I have a Midsummer's Party to attend this weekend where this would be perfect for, but it wont get much use after that, I am afraid.

Almost headache inducing aquatic with a very odd salt note. I feel like I can taste the salt water? Its super strange and very much not for me. I know that I dont like aquatics anyway, so if you do, please try this! Its so unique and I have tried anything like in the rest of Bpals catalogue.

Like other reviewers, this is light and gentle and also full of coconuty-horror. I despise coconut unless it is in an adult beverage, and the note is very excruciatingly prominent in this blend. Not for me!

This was one of my first Bpal purchases, as I was on the hunt to smell like greenery in all its forms. Unlike many of its fellows, Black Forest has remained a favorite. I love the mix of the ambergris and the pine, and it stays cool and forest like throughout the day in all types of weather. I love this, and its one of my favorites for a day where I need to feel centered and peaceful, in my beloved forest, if only in a sense.

I have two vials of Black Cat, the older one is much more yellow than the new clear vial. And all I can smell is myrrh in the imp, and I know that myrrh is just straight baby powder on my skin. I know why I let the old one age so much, forgotten in my imp box. To be swapped or gifted, as this is not going to be worn.

All I smell is lemon candy? Maybe like eating lemon candy from your grandfather at church, and then getting grape juice for children's communion- which is a very specific scent memory, not really one I want to wear during my day to day. I will not be returning to Bess, but floral and fruit fans might find something to like here.

This smells like sticky summer strawberry soda. Alliteration! Its not for me, as I do not like to smell very sweet, but would be good for someone who likes lighter, brighter and more.. youthful scents!

I wish this was more red patchouli forward on me. Traditional resins, like my dear friend Frank tend to come off..slightly sour? Very sharp. After a bit of time, this is more sandalwood than Frankincense which suits my nose just fine. Its nice, but I probably wont need to get a bottle right away.

It smells like cinnamon flavored pencil shavings on my skin! Not a bad thing, for certain, just odd, and strangely comforting. Wont inspire me to jump my fella, but would do very nicely as a comforting winter scent, all warm in sweaters and blankets.

Its smells a bit like a specific brand of hand cream my husband uses for his skin problems? Weirdly medicinal and kind of old lady like in tone. Will not be returning to it again.
