    Obligatory Peach Perfume Oil

    This is a wonderful peach perfume. It also reminds me of my childhood. Super girly and flirty! It verges on being like a conditioner smell but the white tea helps keep it smelling perfumey!

    Strawberry Dragon

    Gorgeous strawberry candy! Juicy, sweet, and smells like sun ripened strawberries. This is a candy version of Eat the Stawberries in my opinion!

    Fair Maiden Side-Eye

    Wow! I get the amber and peach-tinted skin musk right away. The ambergris balances everything so it isnt powdery or too sweet. Definitely a unisex blend. I get no vanilla cream which is good because no plastic smell Edit: as this stays longer on my skin, it becomes creamy like Cave of Treasures! The good kind of cream that is sophisticated and delicious!

    Dragon Doodle

    To me, I get no pear. I get very, very strong rich honey. Golden and sweet like sunshine. The strawberry is ripe and freshly picked. If you like strawberry or honey, get this one! It is a perfect harmony of both!

    Lifestyle Blogger Dragon

    Omg this is what I wanted Dragon Mlerm to smell like! Dragon Mlerm was a disappointment to me before because I did not get marshmallow from it. However... Lifestyle Blogger Dragon is gorgeous marshmallow with fruits! Hey foodie lovers, try this if you can! It reminds me of Apple Marshmallow HG but with peaches instead of apples. SO GOOD Definitely a keeper! As it dries more, the apricot takes over the peach and the marshmallow gives it a lovely fluffy vanilla sweetness!

    Full Moon Flakes

    Mine came in the mail today and I am also naughty and couldn’t resist testing it the same day In the bottle it reminds me of Earless Chocolate Bunny. Very similar chocolate note. On my skin, small patch test: smells like dry coco puffs and marshmallows! Like opening up a box of fresh cereal before adding it into your bowl! The marshmallows really do remind me of the tiny ones you get in instant hot chocolate mixes. Stays close to the skin. Low throw. It is a nice foodie scent that you can wear to work because it stays close to the skin! Subtle and yummy!

    Loviatar - Resurrected

    I have not tried the original Loviatar but I am a huge fan of red musk and leather! (Eldritch Dark, I'm looking at you! ) In the bottle: Loads of red musk with a background of black leather. Let's see how this goes on my skin. On my skin: The leather in this blend is absolutely gorgeous. It is black leather with the tiniest hint of smoke (reminds me of the leather in Riding Crop SN). I definitely smell more amber and myrrh on my skin than in the bottle, but both of those notes are floating in the background of the scent. The red musk gives it a hint of sweetness but it is fairly subtle on my skin compared to the superstar leather note! This is like Eldritch Dark's badass boyfriend. Loviatar is less sweet, no rose. Strong throw, long wear!

    The Eternal Queen

    This is absolutely gorgeous. I've wanted a gardenia perfume from bpal for a long time but none of the note combos in past scents worked for me. However this perfume is the perfect merriment of background notes to compliment the gardenia. I smell mostly realistic, fresh, creamy, white gardenia with a touch of amber and ambergris. The tuberose is surprisingly tame and subtle on my skin. I don't notice any incense but maybe that is just my skin chemistry. It stays true on my skin and never morphs into anything unpleasant. The vanilla gives it that creamy vibe to help ground the floral to make it very romantic and soft. Medium throw and strong staying power! If you love florals, don't sleep on this one! If you like The Bride or Cave of Treasures, The Eternal Queen has the same "creamy floral" vibe. Definitely reminds me of Lupercalia florals.

    Slime Queen

    I am a big cotton candy fan and the closest cotton candy bpal variant I've found is Pink Wig Spray. I was very excited to score a bottle of Slime Queen. Slime Queen in the bottle just smells like Dorian, however once it is on the skin the other notes emerge. On my skin I get a pink sugar note rather than a cotton candy note. I do not find this similar to Pink Wig Spray. Slime Queen is very unique. The normal lemon note I get from Dorian is not there and it seems to me like the pink sugar note I am getting has replaced the Dorian lemon note. I adore Dorian blends and this is a stunning everyday flirty perfume. I think my boyfriend would like this for himself too as he amps Dorian very nicely. It is a lovely vanilla tea with cubes of pink sugar and that lovely fougère undertone Dorian has. Medium throw, medium wear length. Make sure your skin is very moisturized before applying because this scent will fade fast on dry or dehydrated skin! If you love Dorian, get this! If you want a foody or a cotton candy bpal, ignore this! This is definitely not foody or cotton candy in my opinion!

    Nice Atmosphere Spray

    Nice: As sweet as can be: spun sugar strawberries. The strawberry note in this one is very similar to the strawberry note in Loli.goth. However Loli.goth is a more pink musk/girly scent, and Nice is sugary strawberry candy. It is a more candy-like strawberry fragrance rather than a fresh, juicy strawberry. If you love candy notes, get this!

    Wynter Wakeneth Al My Care

    Gorgeous, comforting, luxurious incense. One of my favorite incense blends of all time. I like to wear this to sleep or if I am doing yoga. The sweet amber and champaca is amped the most on my skin. I do not get much of the other notes. If you love amber, try this scent! I wish I bought a backup bottle. This will age gloriously.

    MVJBA Pancake Breakfast Hair Gloss

    I get no jam smell in my HG, but that's fine by me because it smells like fresh, fluffy vanilla pancakes with tons of maple syrup. I was worried about the butter note but it balances very nicely with the rest of the notes. The butter note does not go rancid (thank goodness!). Definitely smells like Sunday brunch! Strong throw, decent wear length.

    Drag on a Slime

    I get tart, juicy grapefruit on my skin with a floral musk background. This reminds me of when I used to wear Pure Seduction from Victoria’s Secret almost a decade ago. Very girly and flirty. I love it.

    King Cake

    King Cake is a super yummy scent and it has gotten me compliments. It smells the same on my skin as it does in the bottle. I get honey glazed almond cake. Almond is the most dominant note to me. If you like Bastet, you'll love King Cake. The almond note is very similar between the two. After a few hours of wear, the honey note gets amped on my skin and it balances the almond note. Strong throw, good wear length.

    Groom of Frankenstein

    I love bpal's leather scents. They don't always work on my skin, but that's okay with me because I love how fabulous they are on my boyfriend's skin chemistry. Groom of Frankenstein is one of the sexiest leather blends I've smelled from bpal. Groom of Frankenstein is a morpher. It starts off as heavy ozone and black leather (wet on the skin and in the bottle). The first half hour it is primarily black, smooth, slick leather. Then the magic happens about two hours in. It becomes a super sexy unisex scent. Strangely, I get a vanilla musk/perfumey undertone like I do with Ava. All the ozone has dissipated and I am left with a sexy black leather with a vanilla musk background. I absolutely love this. If it doesn't work with your skin chemistry, try it on your partner It borders on high-end commercial perfume without the alcohol background/migraine-triggering artificial notes that I get from most department store perfumes. It is stunning and I am so happy to have a bottle in my collection. Strong throw, long wear length. Backup bottle worthy.

    Lavender Wig Spray

    I treat wig sprays like atmosphere sprays or linen sprays. Lavender Wig Spray is great if TKO is too sweet or strong for you. Lavender Wig Spray is a Spring scent in my opinion. I get white musk as the dominant note followed by violets and lavender. Personally white musk is hit or miss with me and violets are a miss with me. I was hoping for more lavender but I get more white musk than lavender.

    Glowing Vulva at Ryogoku Bridge

    Smells like a floral sour cream on my skin. If cream notes work on your skin, this would be lovely! Unfortunately my skin turns cream notes sour. The teak and lotus blossom is a pretty combination. Very unique blend.

    Solstice Lace

    Super masculine smelling on my skin. Reminds me of an aftershave mixed with a lit tobacco candle. The apple was very strong when wet, however after drying down I get no apple. I get cigar tobacco and a sweet vanilla smoke.

    Wednesday Hair Gloss

    I love foody hair glosses. I was hesitant to pickup Wednesday when it released because I was worried there would be a campfire or smoke note because of the smores. However there is no smoke note! It smells like melty, warm marshmallows over milk chocolate with a background of cinnamon dusted graham cracker. Light to medium throw. Gorgeous scent.

    F#@K

    I have both batch variations of F#@K. One of my bottles is the normal cherry scent, and the other is a no cherry/only vanilla scent. The cherry one on my skin smells like a fresh cherry pie with lots of sticky sugar. I don't get any buttery notes but I do get a hint of a note that reminds me of turnover pie crust. The non-cherry one is my favorite. The vanilla is extra strong and it smells like sugary vanilla cookies on my skin. Both are very unique and I'm happy to have them.

    Body, Remember

    2012 version Surprisingly I got no coconut on my skin! Smells like rich honey and skin musk to me with a slight creamy floral undertone. Very pretty!

    Looking for a BPAL that Resembles a Favorite Perfume

    I'm looking for a BPAL perfume that smells like the peach body butter The Body Shop used to make in the 90's. It is a juicy ripe peach with a slightly creamy undertones. Any recommendations?

    Alabaster Vulva

    Wow this is definitely different than what I was expecting (especially because I've read the reviews before buying). I have never tried something with orris butter but this reminds me a lot of orris root (especially like the orris root note in The Lady in Black Atmosphere Spray). My skin is amping the orris like crazy! It is perfumey and "expensive" smelling without the alcoholic undertones of high-end perfumes. It reminds me of Mrs. Valentine except without the red musk note. The more it sits on the skin, a vanilla cashmere musk emerges in the background (reminiscent of Hoîru). The orris butter note is still very dominant on my skin but I get hints of bergamot and narcissus. I think this perfume is very unisex. Heavy throw, long wear. I can see how others would really love this one. Sadly, I am not a fan of these notes with my skin chemistry.

    The Chicken-Legged Hut

    This scent reminds me a lot of October Dusk bath oil I get delicious maple syrup and oatmeal in the imp and on my skin. It is so fun and surprisingly very wearable! I wish this would come back in stock again!

    The Air and the Ether

    I am a sucker for lavender and The Air and The Ether is divine! If you liked Good Morning London, The Air and The Ether is an ambergris version of that! In the bottle: Sometimes the lab's ambergris has a slightly salty quality to it (like with the ambergris SN), however it gives a tart note to The Air and The Ether rather that a salty note. It is a bright, tart French lavender. Almost juicy which is strange because it is not at all fruity to me. On the skin: Absolutely stunning. This is one of the best lavenders I have ever smelled. Normally I associate lavender with a calm or bedtime scent, but The Air and The Ether is bright and uplifting! The more it dries, the more romantic it becomes. This definitely smells like French lavender in full bloom to me which is awesome because French lavender is my favorite. No soapiness. Just amazing. Words I would use to describe this scent: uplifting, bright, tart, Spring, fresh Multiple bottle worthy. Perfect for everyday wear. Medium throw.
