Green tea and honey with a touch of wasabi. In the bottle it smells like a pine sort of potpourri. On skin, a very high pitched green tea. It takes a moment for the astringent potpourri like scent to separate into individual notes. I can smell the honey only when I waft my wrist up to my nose. The wasabi is interesting, and definitely does to your nose the fire dance that wasabi usually does. It's delectable- it's a cup of green tea on a tray with wasabi, possibly waiting for sushi. The only problem I have is that every now and then it becomes a blended potpourri. It is a fresh scent, and the honey grows a little stronger as the wear goes on...and it dries into a very dry green tea sweetened by honey. I think it's growing on me.

Red apple and patchouli with vanilla cream, white musk, red musk, and teakwood. Straight sniff: red juicy Apple. First time I've smelled the lab's Apple note and it is delicious. The red apple stays pretty solidly single note on me for the first five minutes. It's not bad at all, I just can't wait for the other notes! At this point it starts to become a little...incense-y Apple? Ooooh. Patchouli. This is the CREAMIEST, softest patchouli! Ahhh! All the notes are blending together now!!!!!!! It becomes an apple/patchouli incense...grounded by teakwood and warm rather than sweet by the red musk! The vanilla cream does peek through...but it is just the smoothest little hint of sweet curl at the end of a sniff. This is a beautiful, earthy, and warm apple incense scent. Super wearable and is definitely an autumn perfume. It actually smells a little like Satyr to me...if Satyr had apple and vanilla. Which is absolutely sexy. All the notes remain in the dry down...but they pass prominence to vanilla and teakwood!!!!!!!!! Moderate throw, which is good for a patchouli scent. It stays around for quite a while too! I'd truly say this is a 'perfect' blend. Nothing is lost. I will be purchasing a backup bottle.

Sweet cream vanilla, white sugar, jasmine blossom, and a drop of star anise. Wow. Opens up with a beautifully strong jasmine note, but the jasmine is tempered by vanilla and cream. An almost bubblegum like sweetness. It's really airy. The anise is creeping up from the bottom. It's sugary as well! Every note is displayed evenly here. For jasmine despisers, it is strong with this blend, but it's as if the petals are dipped in a sugary vanilla cream. This is Monsterbait: BiggerCritters without the grapefruit and with the lightest touch of sugary star anise instead. It's pretty and heady.

Honestly I really hoped I wouldn't have to buy any of these roses. I REALLY love this one. This is the only Luper I've fallen for. Has a strong likeness to The Last Unicorn. The vegetal scent with a little lush, sweet rose...and chocolate. It's lovely. I hadn't smelled TLU in years and this instantly jogged my memory of the chocolate and greenery.

Holy crap. The champaca is so strong with that sugar cane. A dash of coconut is thrown in and on me it's mostly the scent of some lemon or lime wet n wild Chapstick. :/

Going on lemony, but slightly creamy and vanillic (no sour tang) this scent nicely blends into an opium coconut. It's rather sophisticated. Someone earlier said its like a 'naughty Dorian.' It definitely has that vibe, what sets it apart from Dorian is that musky opium. I find that testing from imps (even if I dip the top of the tube on my arm) doesn't give me enough scent experience so I may actually try to look for a large bottle.

I have a fairly aged imp here. Opening the cap, it's spicy milk, definitely almond! I think I get the toasted coconut, but it's not coconut forward at all. It is blended pretty seamlessly. Then, the round, watery fig. It blends very nicely and maturely (these notes are perfect together) but I lose longevity pretty quickly as soon as the full bodied almond milk scent disappears. Within fifteen minutes in left with a nondescript, toasted scent. Anything juicy or sweet disappears pretty quickly. While this blend started off with something special, it left much to be desired in a short period of time.

Just chiming in to agree with everyone...The Best Lies is a beautiful, honeyed rose. It's a beautifully and casually attractive rose. You can wear this under any circumstance. It's feminine and quite unified. It cottoncandy's up in the drydown, but it suits the overall feel. I love it!

Very soft, budded and dewy rose scent. The softest rose scent I own. A tad soapy floriental like Clarimonde (but her with her amber) but not sudsy and irritating to the nose, just a little more clean scented. I think it's a beautiful and soft scent!!! I equate it with early morning or evening cool temperatures.

WOW. I ordered a 5 ml unsniffed because it's very rare that a Bpal rose doesn't work on me, and I've heard so much about this particular perfume, I had to give it a go. A whole bunch of multicolored, fresh roses...a tad milky...and it's just bright and beautiful. I think I originally expected deep, voluptuous blooms...but this is so much more bouncy! It has the same feel as Alice to me, slight milk and that particular rose in here somewhere! I am soooo glad I got a bottle!

I like this BECAUSE it has gardenia nuances! Holy moly! The vanilla tinged oak bark and floral stand out in unison. The mix of poppies and sunflower have a gardenia-like touch to me. Non synthetic, very fresh and real. Oak bark from Bpal is a favorite scent of mine. I can smell the slightest sugary milk over top of it, and it makes something altogether like a mix between Volcano in Springtime and La Prostitution, only with no Jasmine. Its been going strong with good throw for two hours now. I really like this one.

Alisz to me is a very close 'pink' sibling to DeVos Unicorn. It opens with vanilla mint, but immediately in comes the rose mallow combo I fell in love with from DeVos. The red currant also becomes evident as a sweet red fruit in the undercarriage of the scent. I don't get frankincense yet, but I'm assuming that'll deepen a bit as it ages. Lasted 6 hours or so on me fresh out of the mailbox.

Beneath the copper mountains of Fablun, and England's coal mines, he flies, in the shape of a dusty moth, over the hymnbook that rests on the knees of the pious miner. On a lotus leaf he floats down the sacred waters of the Ganges, and the eye of the Hindoo maid gleams bright when she beholds him. Grey musk and ambergris fluttering with orris, black tea leaf, and sooty tuberose. Definitely a fluttery, dusty, purple scent! The orris is powdery candy, maybe also being lent from the 'sooty' tuberose...although I'm not extremely familiar with tuberose. The ambergris and black tea leaf definitely make it slightly fresh as well. More when it's dry then fresh, the grey musk gives it a darker fuzziness, but overall I'd say this is powdery violet like, with a nice black tea note providing the spine of the scent, which is the strongest in the dry down. It's kind of cute. I'll have to try it a few more times before I decide if I need more.

I loved the sound of the notes- but every time I sniffed the bottle I couldn't get a feel for the right time to test it since it screamed of aggressive leather! As said- in the bottle, leather. Black jacket leather- and I love. Nothing medicinal about it- just very well worn in. The same leather as in Snake Skin. Like with Snake Skin, the sweetness of the bay rum (in Snake Skin, the Snake Oil) creates a worn, as others have said- cozy, feel. The patchouli tousles it slightly, so the result being if you flopped down on a couch at a party, right next to a young man with longish hair and a worn leather jacket, with the sweetest rum on his breath. It's got a skin type reminiscence too. This is a beautiful blend. I will say this for the OLLAs...they smell like the PEOPLE. They really smell like who they represent. Incredible.

I've always loved this scent! Haven't reviewed it yet, and I just got a new frimp so I think I shall... Imp: Earth! On skin: The soil scent stays true through the entire wear for me. What pushes through instantly after application is what might be benzoin? Or coconut husk. If it's not coconut, it's benzoin mixed with dirt that is creating the perception of coconut. I liken it to benzoin after my experience with Kit. A little woody- I don't get cedar like everyone else (I hate cedar) but it is some sort of wood. Toward the dry down its a strong coconutty smell with slight soil! The sweetness really takes over. It's quite a cute scent. Not my best soil blend, but very cute. May pick up a bottle one day in the future!

Seconding that this is a floral- NOT a gourmand scent, on me anyway. It's very clean, very white. Not sharp, and also not soapy. I rather enjoy this single note. I don't really have any idea of what I would layer it with. On its own it's just a really clean floral. Sort of smells like an orchid lotion. I really enjoy this scent for days when I just want to smell freshly showered, because it's clean but it still retains its authenticity of a flower without soap. It's nice!

It's a nice perfume. I sense the same rose as in Parlement of Foules. I associate this as white- though I'm not sure PoF specifies. It's a very soft perfumey blend of light golden champagne, and delicate rose. I get the vanilla'd amber- but it's merely there to round out the scent, and throughout the wear the vanilla and rose blend together. The rosewood lies at the bottom of this scent, and between it and ambergris I get a slight a slight beach wood type of wet saltiness. Feminine, perfumey. Slightly powdery.

I'll take all your civets! For everyone who hates it! Civet on me is a sweet and earthy, super sexual scent. There's that slight fizz of opium, all warmed up by red musk. I can smell all of the notes individually, but this is a simple enough scent to make it a nice blend. I'm not the biggest fan of red musk, but red musk and opium, now, WHEW! Earthy, sweet, self assured. Bottle!!!!! Long throw/longevity.

I spilled it all over everything last night! Yay! On me it's a rich, lovely, apparently blackberry honey. I'm truly enjoying these honey variations. I might get a good bottle. Honey is so summery and sprig to me because I have hives! :3. I need to try out the rest! This also has a sophisticated wiff about it.

WHOA OZONE! I don't get any citrus. I understand that ozone and incense here might read as citrus, but actual citrus itself is nonexistent to me. Strooooong ozone. Incense. Exactly as it says. This is a very black scent to me, definitely occasionally struck through with garish lightning. I think I sense a little of the ritual incense that is also used in Shub Niggurath, because my nose is wanting to pair it with ginger and is trying to seek out the ginger in this one even though there is none to be found. Which would make sense if it was the same type- HP Lovecraft <3. I think I kind of like it! I don't know if I need any, but it would smell as a fantastic counterpart on my boyfriend since I have Shub for myself!!

The almondy myrrh and spices are beautiful in the imp! Once on, I feel Bastet instantly warms to a soft and lightly spicy amber. I'm not sure I can sense any lotus flower, it just becomes very warm and soft. I feel like I tried Bastet late in my BPAL game. It just doesn't have much throw on me, and what was impressively and exotic saffron/almond/myrrh/amber in the imp dried down quickly to a nondescript warm scent. It's nice, but I could do with it being stronger. I've put on more than I usually do for an imp, maybe I'll try more next time- it might just be one that requires heavier application.

I have tried Cicuta three times now- and I like it, but I don't love it. I wanted to love Rose Cross, but as the beginning of that particular scent is very high pitched, I find this superior to that in that the saffron sweetens up the introductions. Cicuta is slightly watery and metallic at the beginning. I can envision the scents as they come through like this- a few dry, or maybe even dusty fake rose petals on an old dresser in an attic. I don't necessarily find true rose to be the star of the show here, more the idea of a picture of rose petals. Maybe it's the plasticky edge of the wax. Saffron and frankincense almost run through my nose together like sheer red fabric. The dry down is a soft, sweet, dusty saffron. I think this bottle will get a lot of use, but I don't think I've quite found my perfect rose incense just yet!

The pale uniqueness of this scent is what intrigued me. I wouldn't have bothered by the notes. I do like rose, but it didn't strike me as something I'd enjoy. However: This is a very antique rose. Dusty without the nose itch, rose without the soap. It smells clean, watery even...but not genetically soapy like a lot of floral blends to me. I think as the other reviewers said, this has a little amber in it because the rose is slightly warmed up, not in a gourmand but in a clean way. It's a slightly faded perfume, how one manages to make a 'faded' type scent before it actually fades is interesting. It's just such an inoffensive and creamy/dusty forgotten rose. Never smelled one quite like this. Pretty hard for me to explain actually.

On me, Kit opens with a warm vanilla sandalwood, vanilla attributed to the benzoin. Sometimes sweet scents with sandalwood make me queasy, maybe it's too much too sweet too fast- not sure. I am so in love with this scent though. Next, I get the warm and tattered waistcoat. Old and softly antiqued, washed over lightly by ink- also one of my favorite scents of all time. Anything else I don't think I can differentiate enough to pick out, but MY STARS this is one of my favorite blends of all time. It's so unusual and unique. Between the waistcoat, ink, and benzoin, I have found one of my ultimate comfort blends. It wears very strongly on me, all day. I'll be ordering another before they're all out! I can't even describe Kit in good justice. ETA: it does smell very 'old.' It's incredible.

Strawberry milk! Pretty, cute, pastel pink fluff! It stays pretty solidly and softly in that scent nature. I always think I need a strawberry candy blend. I never do- they just don't last on me. But very pretty for those it does! I think I need a violently strong strawberry >
