Lab fresh imp. In the imp and wet on skin it's intensely sweet and sticky. Actually it smells just like the Yule blend, Sugar Cookie! A sweet, buttery baked goods scent. After letting it dry, yep, on my skin this is identical to Sugar Cookie all the way from start to finish. Surprise LE dupe! EDIT: Forgot to mention I don't smell any booze in this.

In the bottle, a fresh clean tea scent. Wet on skin, something sharp and sour joins the mix. Plum? Whew, this is really perfumey! I guess that's the wisteria. The florals are wiping out all the other notes. Dry, it's florals all the way. This is just too perfumey, when I was hoping for a light tea blend. Not a keeper.

2016 version. I don't detect a coffee note in this, or any distinct notes at all, actually. It's a well blended, soft and warm fall scent. For me, this is the big winner among this year's Halloweenies.

When the oil is wet, it's ginger and chocolate, true to the description. It's delicious! But dry, it turns floral and perfumey. Still identifiably chocolate, but not as authentic as the wet stage. The ginger note in this is super strong, I store my bottles in a box in a drawer and whenever I open the drawer a huge waft of !!GINGER!! hits me in the face.

In the bottle it's the Lab's characteristic sweet, syrupy, gooey cookie note, but once it hits the skin it totally transforms! I get a strong nutty scent combined with a crisp, green apple that reminds me a bit of the GC, The Apple of Sodom. As it dries, the syrupy cookie note sneaks back in, making for a well-rounded mix of sweet, nutty, and fresh. It was a surprise to find the apple note is the crisp green variety rather than the roasted sweetened variety, but I still love this scent!

With my skin chemistry, this is artificial cherry flavored cough syrup from start to finish. Yipe indeed!

From this thread it seems like there are a lot of batch variations in Connecting Flight, and my bottle seems to be the sour cologney variety. The above descriptions of rusted metal and cheap cologne are spot on, unfortunately.

Wet, this is an incredibly realistic canned peaches scent. Wet, sweet and juicy, just like the glazed sliced peaches on top of a pie. As it dries I get some hints of buttery, flaky pie crust, and the bright, juicy quality fades away. So for a few hours I get peach pie exactly as described, but unfortunately after a while it turns into an unpleasant sickly sweet scent. I'll have to rehome my bottle, because that late stage morph is not good!

Lab fresh imp. This is a strange one, as far as how it interacts with my skin chemistry. When I sniff the imp all I get is paint thinner, and the same when it's wet on skin. After about an hour of paint thinner, the sweet almonds, spices, and honey start to emerge. "Whisper" is a very appropriate description for this scent, it smells kind of dry, like a desert wind! It's sweet, but not exactly foodie. I really like the dry stage, but it does take a while to get there and the paint thinner wet stage isn't that great!

This scent is just INCREDIBLE from start to finish. It smells exactly as described, currants and cake, but literally it's the best currants and cake you will ever smell. It's very similar to Eat Me, but better, I'd say. Like the next evolutionary level of Eat Me. Softer and more sophisticated. I love it so much!

Lab fresh imp. Just after applying this, I get a burst of sharp neroli, but after it dries it's all almond, all the time. It's not a sweet sugared almond scent, like the description says it's very much a bitter almond that doesn't smell foody at all. It smells a bit weird on me though, this scent just doesn't mesh well with my chemistry.

My skin amps sweet notes, and on me Chimera is all warm sweet sticky cinnamon buns. Very foody. It was instant love when I first tried it, and now eight years later it's still one of my all-time favorites.

In the imp, I smell a vaguely sweet cool fog. i can't pick out any individual notes. Wet on skin, something bitter joins the mix. This blend turns soapy during the drydown, but in a good way. All in all, it smells like fancy tea soap. Short-lived but lovely. Like most tea scents it's light and stays close to the skin, like perfume and not PERFUME!! that you can smell from six feet away. A good choice for when you want or need to wear something more subtle.

asfld;fslsdkl GILJAGAUR IS SO GOOD OMG. Sweet, creamy, thick and delicious in the bottle. Once it hits the skin a strong nutty note (must be the cinnamon) quickly develops. As it dries, the cinnamon melds with the other notes and the end result is a smooth, creamy mix of coconut and cinnamon. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

Lab fresh imp. A yummy chocolate and mint scent when wet. Dry, though, it's all cedar and oakmoss. I've never met a wood note I liked, wood just smells weird and unpleasant with my chemistry. I'm dreaming of a version of this scent without the wood notes, like a perfume version of an after-dinner mint...

Embalming Fluid is one of my all-time favorite BPAL scents! I get green tea and lemon, exactly as described, and once the top notes fade I'm left with a lovely soft musk. It smells very similar to the Lemon Tea perfume oil that the Body Shop used to make. I just wish the fresh citrus notes lasted longer than an hour or so on my skin.

This is another one of those "exactly what it says on the tin" scents. Strawberries and champagne, nice and light.

Lab fresh imp. In the imp, it's a cool melon scent. Wet on skin, it's sharp tart melon candy. Dry, the floral notes emerge to round out the scent. A pleasant fruity floral that would be right at home in a Bath and Body Works store.

Lab fresh imp from the booze imp pack. The best way I can describe this is...*to the tune of the Two and a Half Men theme song* booze booze booze booze boozy booze booze booze, booze booze booze booze boozy booze...yeah! lol! It's another one of those "exactly what it says on the tin" scents. Gin, heavy on the juniper. I'm not a fan of how it smells on my skin, but it's got potential as an oil burner or diffuser room scent.

This is such a beautiful scent! Soft, smooth and creamy. My skin is amping a honey-like note that smells similar to the GCs Cockaigne and Eat Me. I'm not getting any rice flower, it's a purely foodie scent on me.

Lab fresh imp, yellow-orange oil. On me, this is one of those "exactly what it says on the tin" scents. Warm, fruity, delicious apricot brandy. I really like it!

Lab fresh imp, red oil. When it's wet, all I smell is peanuts. Really, peanuts! It's bizarre! Once it dries, the peanut disappears and I get a syrupy, medicinal cherry scent.

Thick gloopy red-brown oil. My imp is lab fresh. I don't get any cinnamon from this at all, just a sweet and creamy (amber and sandalwaood?) wet stage that quickly turns sour, and then the drydown is 100% patchouli. I guess my skin amps patchouli!

Lab fresh imp. The oil is a dark reddish-pink. As for the smell?... ROSE! On my skin it's a powdery single note rose. Rose rose rose. Rose is my skin's favorite note but it's definitely not mine. I wish rose was listed in the notes too because I would have avoided this if I'd known.

I didn't know there were two different versions of Gnome! I guess my imp is the old version, because it's very light yellow and has a thinner consistency. In the vial it smells exactly like fizzy ginger ale, but wet on skin it quickly morphs into hospital antiseptic. Dry, I get a fresh, soft ginger and something kind of spicy-smooth. Sarsaparilla, maybe? Whatever it is, it's nice! Edit: Forgot to mention, my imp came straight from the lab in the Spice imp pack.
