Wet, it's Snake Oil mixed with a sweet floral. No acai here, which is too bad because I love acai! Surprisingly, the amber didn't amp and drown out everything else like it usually does on my skin. After drying, this is pure Snake Oil on me. The oil is a light orange compared to the thick brown of regular Snake Oil, but on my skin they smell the same.

Starts off dry and spicy, eventually settles to a perfumey smoky spice. I wonder if anyone else knows what I mean when I say a scent is "perfumey"? lol! It's that hazy, vague quality. On me, Old Demons is not awful, not great, just meh.

This scent is very well blended, such that it's hard to tell exactly what I'm smelling. No one note sticks out above the rest. Overall it smells warm, dry, sweet and a little spicy. Exactly what I imagine Morocco smells like. Nice, I really like it.

In the imp and wet on skin, cool florals with a hint of spice. Surprisingly strong throw. Dry, the rose dominates, which sadly happens very often with my skin chemistry. It's just too floral for me.

In the bottle, this smells heavenly. Incredibly realistic coffee and tiramisu. As soon as it hits the skin it gets warm and spicy. Bitter coffee comes through in the the drydown, plus a strong floral, and it stays that way from then on. I mainly get cold, bitter florals. A few hours later, a slightly creamy vanilla-like note comes out to play. The tiramisu is back! For a little while. Then the whole scent turns into plastic before fading away. This scent is like a rollercoaster. It's three completely different perfumes in one! I love the foodie wet stage, but bitter florals and plastic aren't for me. It stays very close to the skin and doesn't last very long.

In the imp, sweet florals. Wet on skin, florals with fruity candy. The candy-like quality fades as it dries. Another reviewer described this as "polleny", and I agree. It's soft! I'm not usually a floral fan but I like this blend. Surprise frimps are great for trying scents you wouldn't normally be interested in!

Starts out quite promisingly with creamy vanilla and light sandalwood, but after it dries it's all powder on me. I think the lotus root is the culprit there.

In the imp, a cool, musky wood. Wet on skin, some fruity and spicy notes join the mix. It's a lovely fruity red musk through the drydown. Sweet with a clear, transparent quality.

Herbal honey when wet, dusty honey with light incense when dry. Nice, but not my thing.

2016 version. In the bottle and wet on skin, it's predominantly booze and...this may be just my imagination, but cherry? As it dries the cherry disappears, a milk/cream note emerges, the spices come to the fore and everything balances out to make for a creamy, smooth, gorgeous blend. I love this.

In the bottle it smells rich and thick and syrupy sweet, like the Lab's cookie scents. Wet on skin it's less sweet with a hint of nutty bread. It doesn't change much through the drydown. Sweet syrup-drizzled pecan bread. Just delicious!

Fruity and sweet when wet, joined by something sharp and astringent (tea blossom?) as it dries. The oak takes over slowly but surely. The scent turns sickly sweet later on, probably because of the lotus and amber, which tends to go that way on my skin. I don't like wood notes or sickly sweet smells, so this scent isn't for me!

Lab fresh imp, colorless oil. In the imp, it smells like herbal green apples. Wet on skin, it goes sharp and tart. After it dries the apple note sweetens up and takes on a foggy, perfumey character. It's all right, but not amazing.

2016 version. Smooth, rich dark chocolate with a slight nutty undertone. Delicious!

This smells good enough to eat! It's sweet, creamy and cake-y. To my nose it's the same cake note as in Jack and Eat Me, plus a hint of pumpkin. (I know cake isn't listed in the notes of Jack, but on me it's cake cake cake.) The dry stage is much the same, creamy and delicious, with the addition of BPAL's signature creamy-honey-milky note that gives me the distinct impression of a drop of pale, clear honey just about to drip off a spoon. Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcake is lovely, but Jack is an easy GC dupe, maybe mixed with a bit of Dana O'Shee.
