Cake, cookies, donuts, baked goods, even Cinnabon

I was going to say Playful Wooden Mallets, but then I remembered that you do not love it...

How about mixing Chimera with Boo?

 

Good memory remembering PWM didn't work on me. Actually it worked but was too light. I did really like it though. I had Boo too but it didn't have staying power on me either. But I definately think I need a bottle of Chimera. It seems to be the holy grail of cinnamon roll scents! Maybe I'll track down an imp first...

[Lethran]

There's no reason you can't reapply boo as needed I often layer it with various gingerbreads. Gingerbread has more throw and duration than boo, so I touch up the boo. I don't see wh that might not wok layering with something cinnamon.

[vanilla323]

Got some imps of Chimera and I really like it. It's definately the cinnamon in a cinnabun just wish it had more of the buttercream frosting!

 

Teatime in Roswell was a recent win on me I love it! Cake and tea for sure.

 

I sold off a few of the Beaver Moon's because while they were goreous foodies my skin ate them up too fast. I realize I love foodies with amazing staying power.

 

I also have a bottle of Sprinklecake coming to me. I had a bottle but I hear there are variations and the bottle coming now should be different then the one I had originally. Can't wait!

 

Well keep the foodie and cake scents coming! I plan to come back to this thread more often.

Recently, I got a frimp of Bedbugs which smells like ginger cookies.

 

I absolutely adore it but it seems that I can't get a bottle of it.

 

Anyone know of similar scents I can try?

[Beckiemort]

Shub is the most like ginger cookies in my experience

[Gateau]

Gingerbread Poppet!

[mari4212]

Really, Shub-Niggaruth is the most ginger-cookie scent I've smelled from BPAL. And to make it better, it's GC and impable.

[ljaylh]

Hmm - Atrous, there's a lot of Bedbug imps floating around - if you really really love it, you could post up an ISO and see if you can get hold of a bunch of imps.. if you get enough, you could make your own bottle of it!

 

But for alternatives.. hmm... if I remember correctly, Bedbug has a slight orange-y like flavour to it? I can't think of anything that's an exact match, but here's a couple you could try:

 

Mother Ginger (reviews here) - gingerbread, French vanilla, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and marshmallow cream - this one has a lovely creamy sweetness, and I got a slight citrus-y kind of tang from it, but is definitely all about the gingerbread.

Mother Shub's Gingerbread Temples (reviews here) - reviews on this one are mixed, and I can't remember if I've tried it, but it sounds like it could be worth a shot?

 

Those are LEs, but shouldn't be too hard to find... and aside from those, I second Shub from the GC but Gingerbread Poppet is probably the most gingerbread-cookie-esque BPAL I've come across.

 

In case you haven't seen it - there's a whole topic here about ginger, and one here about baked goods (including cookies) so you might be able to pick up some ideas from those

Yes, sadly this did not come out as a bottle...it was a freebie given out at a Will Call a long time ago, but maybe you can collect a bunch and have a bottle's worth! Good luck!!

[stellamaris]

Le Maison De Pain Epices. That's a good one.

also agree with Gingerbread Poppet.

[GingerGunlock]

Shub Niggurath, definitely definitely. War in the Neil Gaiman collection is also very cookie-y to me and on me. I don't know that anybody else feels that way

 

Also, to me, Penny Dreadful smelled kind of like crumbly cookies, but not ginger cookies.

[Fuhrankie]

Definitely Shub. Also I've found that the Exotic Bazaar atmo from BPTP is amazingly gingery and just fabulous, and compliments Shub really well!

[Atrous]

Thank you everyone for the suggestions!

 

Sounds like Shub-Niggurath has the most votes. I like that it is GC and I can get an imp of it.

 

I'll also be on the lookout for Gingerbread Poppet and Mother Ginger. I got hungry just reading the description for Mother Ginger.

 

Sunshinedaisybliss - thanks for the additional forum ideas. I will be checking out the links.

So, thought I'd add an update in case anyone is interested in that Bedbug scent the way I am.

 

After getting my imp of Shub I immediately applied it. Boy, there's ginger alright. But it wasn't quite right. It was missing honey. I rummaged around in my imp box and found O. I layered O with Shub and

WOOHOO! Bedbugs, lots of them...on steroids.

 

Thanks again everyone

Agreed! And it also gets better with aging!

[JazzieCazzie]

Another vote here for Shub. The gingeriest of the gingeries! But not too sweet.

[Atrous]

So, I ordered some imps and made sure to include Shub-Niggurath. Can't wait to get my order

 

I hope the GC scent works...it's cheaper and I know it will be available.

 

Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions.
