  1. Kind of fresh, kind of fruity, a bit of sweetness, like honey. I'm finding this one rather 'meh'. It reminds me of scented lipstick, actually, and of Gennivre, though this one is a tad bit fruitier. This would be great for someone who likes lighter scents.

     

    I'm not getting anything 'dirty' or grimy about this scent. Weird.


  2. The most awesome cherry blossom scent at first! This is the first time the Lab's listed cherry blossom note actually smells like cherry blossom. I've smelled other blends, and I don't get it even though it's listed. This smells like a Lush product cherry blossom note, very authentic. Dry, something else comes out, not sure what, but it's a bit musky, so cherry blossom and musk. I like this, and will probably pull it out in the spring.


  3. This one kind of smells like minerals. I get a 'rock' vibe that I smelled in Black Opal, but this one is more of a dude blend, and a good one at that:) Bourbon vetiver and musk round this out very nicely, though it does get a bit sour. I'd like to try this on a guy.


  4. Strange. Kind of smoky with a soft floral. Tobacco comes out a bit more, but with something a bit more citrusy rather than floral now. Smoky tobacco citrus with a touch of floral. Kind of nice, but not really my style, I'm not that fond of the French Tobacco note. May age into something better.


  5. This one kind of smells like orris root, though I don't see any in the description. Soft, powdery, and orrisy:) This reminds me of Staged Moon Landing, a bit, kind of moon-like, powdery and slightly florally. I'm not getting leather, tobacco, or spices. Weird. I wonder if I'm wacked or a mislabelled imp. Most likely the former, and wrong time of the month to be testing.:)


  6. This scent is typically bpal, and I mean this in a good way. It has the musk, floral, incense, resins, etc. It reminds me of quite a lot of other bpal blends, but I can't think of what atm. Maybe it's Athens, it does have that Grecian 'feel', like zz mentioned above. Smells like powder after a bit, but it's still nice. This really isn't my style, so no more needed.


  7. I recognize the cardamom from Gypsy Moth, a few years back. This is not as strong, as has the tea element. and a bit of citrus. This isn't my style, and I'm not very fond of it, though I have to admit, it's a great ratio of notes. Oh, and I do get the anise too.


  8. Sweet, sweet jasmine of what smells like the night blooming variety. Maybe it's just the 'whipped' cream aspect making it smell like it is so. This is creamy, delicious jasmine, with the barest hint of peach, which I probably wouldn't have detected if it hadn't been listed. I really like this, but I doubt I would wear it too much, it's not really 'me', and kind of sweet to boot. It does remind me of 'Self Portrait', I think it was called, the honeyed gardenia, which I have a bottle of. Something to that effect, though with jasmine instead of gardenia. I like that one better, but this is pretty good too!


  9. Beware, uber fruity alert!!! Bright fruity peach with sweet berries. This would be a great summer blend for those who like FRUIT. The patchouli comes after a bit, but it's still pretty peachy. It is sort of reminiscent of Crypt Queen later on, but with peach instead of dark fruits. The peach is quite realistic after the dry down, and I quite enjoy it after the initial blast of fruit.


  10. I have never understood the popularity of Eat Me. It's nice enough, but comparisons to Snake Oil and other classic bpal greats? I don't get it at all. Here, same thing, it's pleasant enough with berries and a touch of perfume, not getting much cake. After my hair dries, not much scent, though someone said that I smelled 'great' today, and I had no other oils on, so must of been the hair gloss. Maybe it's some weird chemical thing with me that I can't smell Eat Me the ways everyone else does. I'll certainly use the gloss, as apparently it smells great on me, but I won't spring for a bottle.


  11. A bit sharp and smoky at first, almost like there's vetiver here. The smokiness fades, and it is more orange blossom now, it reminds me a lot of Khrysee, a luper from a few years back. I really like orange blossom, but this is too similar to Khrysee and Hunger to warrant any more.

  12. Ice


    Mint and aquatic at first. I can actually feel the coolness of the mint on me. It reminds me a LOT of CK1 at this point. Dry, quite a bit different, musk and woods with a touch of aquatic. Still a great dude blend, but I'll never wear it. I'll save it for a future dude in my life. :biggrin:


  13. Yummy! Nectar is a great name for this blend. It smells like something that a hummingbird would eat, but not just any hummingbird, the queen bee of the hummingbirds.:) This is sweetened flowers, good enough to eat, but not foody. I am kind of wracking my brain trying to figure out what this reminds me of, maybe someone can help me out... This is fresh, juicy, clean and amazing. If I had the fundage, I'd get a bottle. Heck, I may just do that anyways! :) Maybe it's Chuparosa that this reminds me of....


  14. This smells strong in the bottle, musky perfume. While spraying, I notice the vanilla, and it's a nice one, or is it benzoin? Whatever the case, the vanilla scent doesn't stay in my hair, and it's mostly a shampoo type smell. Kind of soft flowers and a bit of musk. I'll save this one for next summer, it's better suited for that type of weather. For what it's worth, I don't get any patch, which would have made this more wearable for fall.


  15. I recognize the tobacco from French Tobacco SN, which was 'OK' but I wasn't wowed by it. Combined with the orange, though, this is rather lovely. It is just the right ratio or orange and tobacco to make a lovely, sophisticated and sexy scent. I like this, but not love, and for me it has to be 'love' before I buy a bottle. I certainly wouldn't turn down an imp of it though, and may seek out more in the future.
