Sweet, candy-like peaches from wet to dry. Like those sour peach gummies. Peach loves me, and drowns out everything else, so all I've got from these peach blends, is, well peach. This fades rather quickly, it was a bit much for the first hour or so. No need to upgrade.

First off, this is the first bpal oil that is THICK, it reminds me a lot of the texture of pine sap actually. The smell of it too, is really reminiscent of pine sap. Interesting, and I like to smell all the single notes, I do love and wear some, but this is really not my style to wear as a SN. I do have Golden Priapus, which reminds me of this, and I do wear that often, but this is one of those SN's that really do smell better blended I would think. It does turn a bit smoky after a bit, like smoky pine sap. Neat!

OK, so this peach is the kind that doesn't work on my skin. This is sickly sweet and cloying on me. You'd think that the other notes would temper this, but this particular peach loves me and drowns out everything else. Boo.

Effervescent, clear and slightly peachy. This smells kind of like a peach gingerale would if there were such a thing. I really like this, it's not too sweet and would make a great summer scent. BUT it fades within a few minutes on me. I've never had my skin eat up something so quickly. There may be a slight whiff of peach but it is GONE pretty much. Boo.

Gritty, manly patchouli, with an extra jolt of woodiness. I rather like this, it's dark, and I'm in a dark mood right now. I don't think I'd ever wear this out in public, however, and this kind of smells like a GC out there, can't think of which one. Maybe Coiled Serpent? At any rate, I probably wouldn't refuse any more, but won't be seeking out any more than maybe a decant.

Pretty much lavender and incense to me, quite lovely, it reminds me of that Compass Point blend Nightmare. I love lavender, and have quite a few blends with it. Nightmare seriously gave me a terrible nightmare, and I haven't used it since, though I liked the scent. I may hunt down a partial of this to use for bedtime.

This is quite odd on me from wet to dry. I'm getting a totally unfamilar note that is dominating on me, it's a bit herbal, kind of gummy, like thick pulpy stems of stuff. Kind of reminds me of the greenness of U Mutter Museum blend. It starts to smell like some sort of industrial oil or chemical after a bit. My skin is doing strange things to this one. I wonder what the culprit is...

Wet, starts out strange. That's the only way I can describe it. Something like a soft floral and the green musk. Dries to a clean, manly musk of the green variety. This is pretty masculine on me, and reminds me quite a bit like Pollution on me dry, and I know there are Pollution fans out there, so y'all may want to try this one:) For me, it is just a bit too masculine, though some may find it unisex, or maybe it's my weird skin chemistry. I really don't get any violet leaf, or anything but green musk. I'd LOVE to smell this on a guy:)

Wet, this all about the frankincense. After a bit, it fades somewhat, and a 'bit' of the bourbon vanilla comes out. Still, I like my resin's in smaller doses, and this is just a bit too much for me. It does fade fast, but I really wish this was more vanilla heavy for me, I think it would be quite lovely.

Sweet, sweet wine. Did I mention that this is sweet? It's kind of spicy and incensey, but the wine really is the forerunner of this blend. Not exactly a red, but a red fruit wine not made with grapes. It reminds me a bit of the Misfortune Teller v3 prototype, but I like that one better, as it's not really 'winey', but has the lovely incense and spices. Nice to try, but now I'm appreciating Misfortune even more.

I thought this would be a no brainer, as I love all of these notes. For some reason, it is a masculine lavender on me. So it's probably the combination of the resins that is doing this to the blend. It's kind of sweet, I'm assuming from the benzoin, but it is just too masculine to warrant anything but this 1/2 decant. I would like to smell it on a guy though.

This is so fresh, pretty and smells of spring! This is quite lovely, a very realistic daffodil and greenery. Pretty, nice to try, but not something I would wear. I'll keep the imp for spring associations.

This is pretty myrhh heavy on me, in fact quite similar to the Golgothan Myrhh SN. After about an hour, it becomes a bit powdery and sweet, which I'm guessing is the rose. It's kind of nice, but not something I'd wear, and it's pretty similar to the SN which I have a bottle of already.

Ok, I know I'm in the minority, but this scent is just ick on my hair. The peach smells like fake peach atmosphere spray you can find in dollar stores, and the incense is rather axe-like when I can even smell it. I feel bad giving a poor review, and take this with a grain of salt, as peach is either a big hit or big miss on me. Thankfully it fades quickly on me. I'll be swapping my decant for one of the other wonderful hair glosses.

At first, I'm getting brown sugar and peaches. I don't like brown sugar, but thankfully it fades, and we're left with a delicious sugared peach as described. It's warm yummy, and damn, I don't wear foody scents as a rule, but this makes me want to eat my arms. I bet this would layer well with something musky, like Siberian musk. I really like this, it's great for fall weather. Kind of reminds me of a peach bellini too.

I've tried Red Moon 07, kept it awhile and a decided it was just too red musk heavy for me. This seems quite different from RM 07. I'm getting something minty with a hint of red musk. This a fresher less heavy version, suitable for a hot summer day for its cooling and light feeling about it. I quite like this, it's a lovely take on the Red Moon theme. I'll probably use the imp in the warmer months.

 

This smells more like red hots than carnations to me. Hod is carnations, this is not. I'm getting a bit of frankincense after a bit, so red hots and frank. Thankfully it fades fast.

Fresh, bright floral. Everything melds together very nicely here, it almost smells citrussy to me. This blend smells like the word 'cheerful, though I know that's not the description. I like this, though I wish the sandalwood played a larger role.

Right away I'm getting what I'm starting to recognize as the labs lilac note. I find it rather fake and perfumey and nothing like putting your nose in a fistful of fresh lilacs. Pretty much stays sharp and cologney. Not for me.

I'm getting the labs snow note right off the bat. After a bit I could swear there's some orris poking out. This smells a lot like Silver Phoenix when dry, and less of a snow blend. This is pretty and would be nice for spring. I may hunt down a decant.

I was expecting something mentholated, but this is pretty much as described. Watered down tea and honey, just the kind of drink you have when you are sick. It does fade fast, though, and there is a bit of a herbal vibe. Not for me, but nice to try.

Pretty much as described, hot chocolate with something creamy on top, like marshmallows or whipped cream. It does fade fast, but that's okay, I'm not into wearing strictly foody scents, I like them blended with other notes. Foody lovers should check this one out though! It does remind me of the chocolate note in Boomslang version 2.

Definitely getting the patch in this one. I think it's the red patch variety. Not getting much else, even when dry. I like my patchouli, and this is the kind I like, smooth and mellow. I'll probably use the imp when I'm in the mood for a good patch fix.

Wow, this reminds me of something right away, but I can't think of what. Sort of like a nuttier Haloes. Think of wezwanie hold and Haloes. Antikythera mechanism comes together to mind too, a more foodier feminine version. This is quite nice. Warm, but not really my style.

Wet, it's like fresh herbs, oregano maybe? Dry, herbal soap, like the kind in a health food store. Wait! I know what this smells like! Herbal essence shampoo, the kind with the pretty label, a girl with long blonde tresses and the shampoo was green. I haven't seen that shampoo for years..
