You know, I think the description of this scared me off, fearing too much “honeyed”. I’m grateful for reviews here because once I started seeing words like fizzy and cola and champagne, I had a feeling I would love it. And I do! It’s a very interesting and complex sent. There are notes of fizz, laubdanum, and a bit of the toasted sugar. It also gives off a little bit of incense, which must be the resins. It’s gorgeous.

It smells of dark roasted coffee beans. Super realistic. It balances well with snake oil. Delicious!
-
The lavender is strong and herbal. The honey is pretty mild and I get no wine at all. It's a very soft scent with low throw

^^ I love this. Ghoul writes the best reviews and I don't know how to follow up on em. This eerily describes my Gram and her neighbor's bridge and tripoley games and their shenanigans. The trick to that coffee is just a teaspoon of sugar, not too much now, and chain smoking. ☕️ This reads somewhere between Poinsettia Gown and Katrina Van Tassel on me. The deep, luscious jasmine & rose of PG and the soft, demure rose in KVT are replaced with a bright, high pitched, white floral that smells like it would be hella sharp on it's own, the honey is lending a slightly powdered sweetened edge, yet isn't feral, then thankfully, the cream note smooths it out considerably and saves the day, and this sweetens and softens up beautifully (no goats milk tang or anything). After not much time the florals tame down as well. I'd say this skews slightly more towards PG than KVT, but truly it is it's own scent. Very nice, considering backup. Fans of the above, but also Tomie, Millarca, and Carved Wooden Bridal Shop may also want to give this a try! Also, is it just me, or does absolutely nothing on that card scream happy Christmas in any way? And why did I hear "dismembered" three times in a row today? 🤣 Haunted-ass cards.

The person who said this smelled like a Ricola cough drop was spot on lol! Immediately upon application that's all I get but like a really fancy version of a Ricola cough drop. Once it dries and settles into the skin the honey is still strong but it's soft and tempered by the oats and brightened by the lemon verbena and carrot leaf. It's a scent that lifts your spirits.

Very simple but very pretty. Warm cardamom with honey and musk. The cardamom tickles my nose. The milky musk is leaning more towards powdery on me rather than milky. -
Very strong in the red bean paste!!! That's really the dominant note for me. The other elements add sweetness and they truly conjure the color pink. The apple blossom adds a clean shampoo-like touch and the caramelized almond adds a bit of decadence.

Winnie the Pooh is among my very favorite books, and Eeyore is my favorite character from the series, so this was the Hundred Acre Wood scent to which I was most looking forward. I used to have a mug with Eeyore's good morning quote on it, too. I wish I still had it! I'm not familiar with the thistle note, but I, too, get lots of purple and grey from this scent, with the iris, lavender, and lilac swirling together to make that grey and purple floral bouquet, and the high-pitched iris and lilac being particularly loud on me (although this grey lilac seems to be tamer than some other varieties). The floral notes combine with the rain-soaked moss, which I believe may be the same note found in 2024's The Storm, to just exude melancholy -- but over time, the grey musk peeks out and smooths over the loud iris, lilac, and moss notes, so that it is less like having a cry and more like a deep sigh. I mean, you would be sighing the deepest of sighs, too, if you lost your tail, or your house made of sticks kept falling down. By the end of the day, I'm left a soft, clean scent of grey musk tinged with tea leaves, a few flower petals, and some raindrops on moss. Needless to say, this one is a keeper and a must-try of the Hundred Acre Wood collection. I haven't tried layering this with The Donkey's Tail yet, but I'll update this review once I try layering them together. I adore that scent even more with its lavender, vanilla, and fuzzy cotton notes and may just have to get a back-up of this for more of The Donkey's Tail. Petition for The Donkey's Tail to be released as a bottle in a future installment of the Hundred Acre Wood scent series!

Milky coffee with sweetness from brown sugar. Not a black coffee.

Sweet caramel. Dries down to caramel too

Rebellions are built on hope - in SPACE!

Here are the details of the new three-part online module for SPACE (Signum Portals for Adult Continuing Education) that I’ll be offering for Signum University in Spring 2026. Rebellions Are Built On Hope: A Star Wars Series Over nearly half a century of storytelling, Star Wars has challenged audiences to find their own agency and power in the face of injustice and tyranny. The Star Wars works Andor (2022, 2025), Rogue One (2016), and A New Hope (1977) fit together to provide a story of resistance, resilience, and rebellion built on a deep engagement with history, philosophy, and political thought. Join Dr. Amy H. Sturgis as we consider how Star Wars wrestles with big ideas, invites conversation and action, and inspires hope in unprecedented times. This SPACE series consists of three hybrid modules: Module 1 (Feb. 2026 - Only 1 seat left!) covers the series Andor, Season 1 (more info here); Module 2 (March 2026) covers the series Andor, Season 2 (more info here); and Module 3 (April 2026) covers the films Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (more info here).

March 2026: Last Seen Wearing by Hillary Waugh: Discovering a Turning Point in Crime Fiction May 2026: The Secret History by Donna Tartt: Unpacking the “Whydunit” Mystery View the full post.

this is so pretty. i tried the perfume years ago and it didn't quite work on my skin, but i love the atmo spray. warm, bright and a bit creamy. so cozy for winter. glad i got some of this!

I like Rabbit's scent more than I thought I would! It starts off with a blast of lemony white tea, followed by some lemon verbena, and a smackerel honey. Then the oats and condensed milk emerge and eventually overtake the bright notes, making it more like a sweet, toasty oat scent. I am pleased to report that the vetiver seems to be missing in action on me, so if it's lurking beneath these notes, it is very well-behaved and not a strong, smoky variety. I think this would be perfect to wear during spring and am so glad it worked out (especially since the White Rabbit from the Mad Tea Party collection does not jive with my chemistry).

Unfortunately I did not get much Candied Pomegranate. The soapy aspect of snake oil is strong. It is only slightly sweetened by the pomegranate which I cannot detect
-
It smells similar to Victoria's secret strawberries and champagne. Very Perfumey sweet and slightly yummy. I love it
-
For some weird reason it smells like honey on toast. Reminds of me a dessert called Shibuya toast. I don't get any milk at all.
-
I get cherries and something sweet like sugar. It smells like a candy.
-
Love this one. It’s like the Sufganiyot version of Four and Twenty Blackbirds. Tasty tangy blackberries and pastry.
-
Unfortunately, for my wallet this is exceeding beautiful. The lotion itself is the perfect texture and blance for me. I have extremely dry skin and find that most lotion dissappears into my skin and does nothing. Or is super heavy and just sits on top of my skin. This lotion hydrates without disappearing or feeling greasy. Now for the scent, it has a nice medium throw. A little stronger than most lotions I've had in the past. The scent is the most beautiful apple note I've ever smelled, not artificial apple scent. A realistic apple that's between sweet and tart. A fall variety that is at peak ripeness asking you to bite into it. I might have to buy a backup bottle before Weenies come down.
-
The initial wet impression is... yeast? Rose petal jam? It quickly becomes a light, gentle sweet scent that gets a bit milkier as time goes on. If it's honey it is a very delicate honey rather than the HUNNEH I usually get from BPAL honey scents.
-
I agree with Numanoid that this is reminiscent of Boomslang. I went through a phase a couple years ago where I ordered a bunch of coffee-themed BPAL, and they were all just okay, but this? This is amazing. Deep rich chocolatey coffee, no weird fruity zing that some types of coffee beans have. It starts out somewhat bitter as advertised - in a good way - but gets a little sweeter and caramelly with time, and it's reeeeally putting me in the mood for an affogato.
-
I don't get coffee beans from this but a sort of subdued patchouli? No, not quite. There's something going on in the background but I'm not sure what it is. I wonder if this is my nose experiencing the amber as slightly balsamic. Not detecting caramel at this point. It reminds me a little of Trick #2. I'll try it again in a week and see if I can pick up the listed notes.
