Hmm, this may be the only BPTP bath oil that I dislike. It's heady floral with the vanilla only slightly supporting. I think the sharpness is ruining this for me, which the lunar oils can sometimes do. I think I'll try this one again, I can't possible have a Post oil I dislike, dammit!! As with all bath oils, this makes my skin uber soft.

I thought that this was rose and patch, but it must be the opponax. A very interesting combination, I kind of like it, it's different in a good way. I like rose with a bit of something 'rough'.

This one is perfumey and herbal, not too sweet. It's actually pretty bad on me, like cologne gone bad in the sun.

Fresh, minty and fades to practically nothing, but while it lasts, it reminds me a lot of Gennivre, a honey tea that's just barely there.

Mint and ice. If anyone is head over heals in love with Polar Bear Plunge, this is almost a dead ringer to that one, of which I use only on hot hot hot days.

Mandarin! King Mandarin I think.. Fresh and musky at the same time. I really like this, and wouldn't turn any more down if it happens to come my way.

Weird kind of blend. I'm getting something like vetiver and bright fruits with a touch of mint, but it's probably the geranium. Too odd.

Coconut and tropical fruit at first, it doesn't really smell like lime to me. Kind of reminds me of Velvet Tiki from a few years back. Changes into a coconut cookie. I'm rather disappointed in this one, I was hoping for a more tropical lime, and not as sweet. Foodies may like this.

Bright, icy citrus. I'd really like a shower gel like this, or a lemonade with booze. Great for a hot day, but I don't need anymore. I have hot weather scents that I like better than this, though this is quite nice.

Very sweet and heady. Lilies are not really my thing, sometimes they are too cloying, and this is definitely the case here. Not for me.

I'm getting mostly the geranium, which I love. It reminds me of summer, very refreshing for a hot day. Very similar to the Aura Suavis shower gel that lush put out a couple of years ago.

Unisex. Kind of floral, kind of musky, kind of woody, kind of green, but not one note dominates. The effect is rather cologney, with nothing really distinct. Not my cup of tea, it suits the name well, a rather vacuous scent. I accidently spilled half the imp on me, and it was still pretty much gone in an hour.

At first, the lab's snow note. I find it quite often drowns out everything else, and this seems to be the case here. I may get a teeny bit of citrus, but for me, this is not a unique snow note perfume.

Sweet, fruity candy at first. Mango I'm guessing. Dry, the white chocolate comes out, and it's a mango infused white chocolate, which sounds good on paper, but I strongly dislike the lab's white chocolate note, it smells rather fake to me. I wish the patch and/or the green tea would come out, it may have saved the blend somewhat, but this bonbon is not making the cut.

Green musk at first, a little sharp, green and masculine. After a bit, the green musk fades, thankfully, as I'm not really a fan of it. Getting more smoke, with a touch of the green musk. I can barely smell it after an hour. I think this would smell great on a guy, but with the quick fade factor, not worth it. I'll keep the half decant.

White floral soap of the hotel room variety. In fact, I wouldn't even get any floral if I didn't peak at the notes. Strong, sharp and abrasive. This one is pretty bad on me.

This is a delicious, spicy, (kind of nutmeg-like), and very creamy. This smells exactly like a good quality egg nog. I may invest in a decant next year, I kind of like it, but it is a tad bit foody. Dries even specier. Nice.

2015 version: All spice and no nog.

This is the 2014 version. Aggressive, masculine, sensual musks and woods. I love Luperci, and keep saying to myself 'get a bottle', but it is just too masculine for me to wear. I need to smell it on a guy and then decide. I love the rawness of this blend, and if a bottle came across my way, I would be quite thrilled. I'd wear it in the comfort of my home, but never out. Hmm, I really do need more of this...

Sweet, but with a slight citrus twist, to me anyways:) It's a lot like Fresh's Brown Sugar, a scent that I love on others, but not so much myself. This does get slightly dusty after awhile, but it's still a really great scent, and it's more sweet than dusty. I do see the comparison to Sticky Bat, too. I do like this, but Knockout Drops is one of my favourites in this scent category. That being said, I'll probably use up my decant, it's pretty good:)

Rose and vetiver at first. I *just* about washed it off right then, and thought I was going to throw-up, but didn't, thankfully. Maybe it was just the word association and the fact that vetiver rarely works on me. After a bit, just a sour rose with a touch of grass. Still not my thing, I like roses with resins the odd time, but this is a BIG miss.

Vetiver/leaves at first. I'm wondering if the lab's leaf note involves vetiver somehow. Frankincense comes into play, so it's basically a resinous leaf. I like how the resins and leaf note smell together, they complement each other perfectly. That being said, I doubt I'd ever wear this scent, it's just too 'raw' and wild on me. Something sweet may make this more wearable, but it's just a sniffie, and it's not really worth tracking down more. I'm getting picky in my bpal old age, and only buy loves now.

I'm mainly getting sandalwood here. It starts off woody and sharp, as sandalwood does, and turns kind of sour and powdery after awhile. There may be a bit of tobacco flower here, but it's pretty much all about the sandalwood. I actually like the powder, but this is not really a unique blend to me, it smells quite a bit like other bpal sandalwood blends. I wish the honey and benzoin came out, two of my favourite notes, but sandalwood tends to really like me.

Smells like renovating all right! Not fond of the smell of paint, this is definitely chalky and unpleasant. Something pretty, soft and powdery lingers underneath the funk, but does not dominate. Not for me, but interesting to try.

Sweet, sweet honey and jasmine here, no surprise! I knew there was a heady flower and honey, this is something that bees would love, but for me, it is just too sweet and, well, jasminey:) On a positive note, jasmine can sometimes smell sour, but the honey is tempering that. I'm not getting any other notes. This is nice to try, but not for me.

This reads as Embalming Fluid to me, from wet to dry. EF may have a slight citrus quality, but it is almost a dead ringer. Not detecting any tobacco or agarwood. No need for more, as I have plenty of EF, though this is a BIG win for me. Those who find EF to lemony may like this.
