  1. Dead leaves and the lab's french tobacco note. As time goes on, it becomes sweeter with a distinct caramel vibe. It is not one of my favourite notes, caramel, but it's not that strong here. I'm really not fond of this one, it seems very simple and one dimensional. Some simple blends are elegant, but this a fail. I'm not fond of the tobacco note alone, and this is pretty close to SN French Tobacco. Why is there no Pipe Tobacco SN.;0


  2. Pretty much a slightly sweetened frankincense at fist. After a bit, the jasmine totally takes over, and it's a sweet tropical floral. I'm not a huge jasmine fan, I do like it on occasion, but just the sambac and night blooming variety. This is nice, but I don't need any more.


  3. Lovely berry-like musk, a bit dry from the sandalwood, but luscious and juicy at the same time. A bit along the lines of Mme Moriarty, Misfortune Teller v3, Crypt Queen. I really like this, and would like to explore this one further. May be an upgrade...


  4. YUM, I love bpal's almond note, and it's definitely here, along with spices. It does smell like a cookie, but I've never had a fortune cookie that smelled like this. It smells A LOT like Asp Viper, but without the Snake Oil. Because it is so much like Asp Viper, I don't need any more. There's also a very faint (but annoying), oil or petrol smell. I don't get the petrol around me, but rather when I sniff my wrist up close. This is a great blend, and if you can't do Snake Oil and love almond cookies, you'd probably like this.


  5. Herbal greenery at first, with a touch of spicy floral. I'm not to fond of it at this stage, but further in, it becomes sweeter with the honey. It kind of reminds me of a Lilith blend from the Post from last year, a kind of powdery honey with florals and greenery. The other blend had a background of lavender though. I do own that blend already, so don't need any of this one. Quite pretty, though. I'll add the name of that blend when I check... Ahh, no need, I remrmber now...Capax Infinity, I think.


  6. This one is uber fresh Bazooka Joe bubble gum, or those small individually wrapped bubble gum, right down to the powdery coating. Not something I'd wear, but it sure brings back memories. I bet the young girls and lovers of candy scents will be all over this one.


  7. Soapy aquatic right off the bat. There's another fresh note here, not sure what it is. *checks*, ah, the mosses. Despite being soapy, I like clean, aquatics as a candle or room spray in the spring, but not to wear, generally. It is nice smelling this one after a night of Halloween celebrating though;)


  8. Sugared strawberry at first, very sweet with a touch of sour, like blue raspberry sour chewy candies. This is tooth ache sweet, too much sugar, too much strawberries, it reminds me of the equivalent of a hyper-active child, who would go crazy if they ate some of this.:). Settles into fruity, waxy chapstick, which equals fail.


  9. I'm not entirely sure why I got an imp of this, as I don't like caramel anything. I think because it all looked good except for that. I'm actually not getting a lot of caramel here, mostly the rum candies and a touch of tobacco. It's not bad, just a little too sweet and heavy on the rum candies. Foodies would probably like this one.


  10. Wet, this does smell like a slightly fruitier Eat Me, basically spicy vanilla cake and currants. Dry, still foody, but more juvenile vibe, which is fitting I guess.. I'm getting a slight cologne vibe along with the honey cake, (yes the cake has changed to a honey drenched one). Theres a distinctive fake, creamed strawberry frosting note instead of currant. This one is much too sweet, but I bet a young girl would like this one just fine.


  11. I like these ethereal/moonflower/orris blends. This is very similar to Staged Moon Landing and others bpal has put out. Just a touch of leaves makes this one a bit different. I don't own any of this type of blend, it's just not 'me'. Fun to try, though.


  12. Right off, sweet, candy-like strawberry and a touch of cream. After a bit, waxy, fake, sweet strawberry, and no cream. At this point, this brings me back to my pre-teen years when bonne bell lip smackers were all the rage. This would be your standard strawberry lip smacker. Definitely not me, it's too fake and sweet smelling for my tastes. I do like the fleeting cream note, however, and would like to see it in something musky and less sweet.


  13. OK, scent comparisons ahoy! I'm getting Halloween Las Vegas with more honey and less cake. Basically sweet, slightly spiced incense. I already own HLV, so don't need any of this. I'm finding bpal scents are getting to seem like something else bpal. Lots of 'oldies but goodies'.


  14. You cant go wrong when lavender is in a blend, for me anyways. Strong herbal lavender and a touch of vanilla. I honestly couldn't tell you what it was like after an hour because it put me out. :) Not as sweet as TKO, (and I like that one a bit better), and nothing beats Lilith Victoria for a masterpiece of a lavender blend, but this is pretty darned nice.
