MischiefofRats Report post Posted May 3, 2017 Sickeningly effervescent: electric tuberose, neroli, and lily of the valley bubbling with glittering aldehydes. This one is a surprise favourite for me. It smells... let's see if I can remember the exact phrase I used to describe it to my friend... This smells like a fake, fancy, expensive rhinestone bitch. Imagine you're shopping in some high end department store--Dillard's , maybe. Some Orange County housewife with a $500 hairstyle and the tackiest blinged out $5000 designer purse you've ever seen brushes past you, talking loudly on her rhinestone iPhone... That's the woman this smells like. Commercial, pretty, expensive, fake, full of itself, and yet, still really attractive. It's totally wearable, smells expensive, and is shockingly pleasant, yet difficult to put a finger on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted May 10, 2017 Lily, neroli, aldehydes and tuberose being a bitchy spoiler as always. Tuberose to me ends up smelling like a chemically, high pitched hair spray sort of note. Which is perfect considering beauty ir drag pageants probably see a ton of hair spray. It then veers straight into gender neutral aftershave cologne, but after about an hour, dries down to a muted slightly masculine lily blend. And yes, it does smell rich. Medium throw and wear length.

chrisann Report post Posted May 10, 2017 This reminds me of when I used to work at the Chanel counter. It's reminiscent of Chance or was it Madmoiselie? It's been a while since I worked there. But, ANYWAYS.. it smells high end and I absolutely agree with mischiefofrats review on this. It's hoity toity. The hair toss, side eye, high heels and birken bag. BUT, there's also something blue jeans, white shirt, Parisian airy about it too. I'm not usually a fan of florals, but this smells so darn pretty on me. It's got a subtle aquatic feel to the "electric" tuberose note, which I can see as being interpreted as slightly masculine. Overall, On me it's decidedly feminine. The alydehydes in this blend scream "European vacation" or maybe that's just what I have on my mind lately. Nonetheless, a keeper as it's so different than any other BPAL blend I have and makes me want to drive a jaguar. Vroom Vroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milo Report post Posted May 26, 2017 This is probably the most mainstream oil that the Lab has put out, and I mean that in a good way. Lovely florals, musk, and citrus. Smells high end and like it should be on a fancy counter with mirrors and other pretty perfume bottles. Reminds me somewhat of Privilege, but I don't have any more to compare. Lovely, but not me.

Jenjin Report post Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Take the fair face of the Pageant Queen (AKA Buckhead Betty) and decorate her with flowers, diamonds, and a splash of glittering fougeres. That's right, this queen is all beautiful glitter, and rhinestones in the spotlight. Ethereal, iridescent and echoing some of the lab's most sparking scents, this queen is mysterious and smiling with innocent joy.This is totally taking a stroll through the Neiman Marcus perfume counter. Where's my crown? Edited July 8, 2017 by Jenjin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizziesLuck Report post Posted July 21, 2017 Uh oh - this smells like cologne in the bottle to me. hoping it's not too masculine on me! I rarely care for really masculine scents. Wet: For a second it's straight up aftershave, but then it warms and turns into the world's best commercial-but-better-perfume. Like Media, BFJA and Ava it has that "mass market" feel and appeal, but just so much better cuz it's BPAL. It's what commercial perfume WISHES it could be. Dry: There's metal in this. I amp metal notes like crazy, so even though I imagine there is the tiniest bit in there, it's dominant on me. This smells identical to Torture Queen or any other scent with a hint of metal in it on me, because my skin turns it to single note. *cry*. So sad!!! This was GORGEOUS for a few mins, but now it's warm metal. I will age it a bit and try again, but I am very sad. I had high hopes for this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie-elf Report post Posted December 9, 2017 This is sooo good. I like mainstream perfume now that I can actually wear it. This is such a better version of it! It's like a high dollar, fancy pants perfume but one that I enjoy wearing, if that makes sense? I feel sophisticated, amazing, and like I can take on the world and grab it by the balls.
