  1. Resurrected:

     

    OMG!!! This just earned itself a place in my top 10! Not to mention the top 10 of my sister in law as soon as she smelled me and begged for an imps' worth. LOL!

     

    Yummy goodness, sheer yummy goodness.

     

    Fruit, sugar, greasy dough- everything I love about carnival food, this matches it's description perfectly!! Staying power probably only a few hours, but so worth a second slather to get through the day!


  2. Very, very, very grassy. Once it's dried and set for a bit I smell a lot of other complex scents, but overall, overwhelmingly, is the grass.

     

    On an odd note, my 9 year old daughter LOVES this scent, and has claimed several imps' worth of my bottle for herself..... LMAO!


  3. I guess I am one of the strange ones then, because this scent is HEAVENLY on me!!! I wasn't too impressed straight out of the imp, and so tried it twice on my arm before breaking down this morning and slathering it on. OMG! VERY yummeh! By the time I got to work I had decided I needed to add it to my 5 ml WANT list.

     

    Fruit for sure, but I can catch hints of that boozy smell under it all. Very nice sweet/fruit/foody scent. On me lasted most of the day at work.


  4. O..... M.... G..... This is such a dessert smell!!!! Sinfully delicious, the kind of sinful that you have to eat with a HUGE spoon!!!! Decadent and delicious, I am SURE there must be a guilt trip lurking around somewhere!!!!!!!

     

    Definitely a chocolate scent, and the rich cream is literally frothing....


  5. Ohhhhhhhhh yes! I am a big citrus lover but most of the citrus scents morph all funny on me. I love this though!! The lemon is true lemon on me, no cleanser smells or soapy smells. I LOVE this!! Early morning tea with lots of lemon- DEFINITELY the citrus scent I have been seeking!!!!!


  6. Yay!!! I love Dragon's Blood and can't usually do them- they just don't like me!!!! But this is so nice!! Definitely warm and sensual. Definitely in the "floral" scent category for me, but still I like it!!

     

    I would DEFINITELY not wear this every day, but I would wear it for my SO for sure!!


  7. Ooooo, this one wasn't even on my radar until I got it in a swap.... Strawberries and bubbly champagne!!! Sweet and everfescent... I can't think of ANYTHING else that could describe it!!! I can almost feel the bubbles tickling my nose!! Yummy!!!


  8. Wow!!! I realize this has a lot of fruit, but I don't really get a fruit scent from this at all, more of a blend of floral-fruit that is soft with a sharp edge to it. I LIKE this!! In the imp I wrinkled my nose a bit but now that it has settled down, ohhhhhh..... I like!!! I definitely want more of this scent!! (laugh all you like). :P Then again, Plumeria has always been a favorite scent of mine.


  9. This is my third snake oil scent (although I haven't actually tried Snake Oil yet) and this is the only one I have liked so far!!! But I do like it!! Slight soapy smell, but it's a high-quality soap that you don't mind smelling like after a shower. Sweet undertone but not too sweet. I think it's the incense smell that anchors it all into a smell that I like!


  10. Mmmm sweet, floral-y coconut!!! VERY nice!!! But wore off quickly and I couldn't even figure out where I had put it on at!!!! Sad.... May have to try slathering this sometime..... I'm not sure that will even help, this wore off so quickly!!!


  11. The name seriously put me off at first, and someone sent me this in a swap- but oh!! She knew me better than I did apparently!! This is so lovely, and definitely going on my I Want More list!!! I avoid cinnamon scents, but I can't detect ANY cinnamon in this! Just yummy vanilla, caramel, and chocolate with just a slight hint of musk to keep it from being COMPLETELY foody. How lovely!! I can't believe I am saying this, but Enraged Groundhog Musk is the perfect dinner-night-out-at-a-nice-restaurant scent!!! Just hope no one at dinner asks me what I am wearing, or I will have to answer BPAL!!! (no way am I saying Enraged Groundhog Musk in a 5-star restaurant!)


  12. Well! At least I am not the only one! I put this on and immediately took a dislike to it! I was sampling YoakeNoKami's imps at the time, and I set this one aside right away. Kept sniffing and sampling, and a little while later I caught this AMAZING smell.... I thought it might be her at first, but it wasn't!! It was the little spot of Haloa!!!! mmmmmm.... Wine and cake and fruit and smoke.... I totally love this Yule!!!!


  13. Too sweet- ack!!! I am a lover of almost ALL foody-type scents, including Fruit, but- ergh, I am thinking this is not the scent for me! It smells over-ripe, like a melon that you split open only to find that it was darkening and rotting in the center. Guess I shoulda knocked on the bottle instead.


  14. I like this!!! I don't get any imagery of doll-girls, but kinda soft and pretty in a plain-jane sort of way. The quiet beauty that many people overlook. Carnation seems to work for me, which really surprises me!!! This is the third carnation-scent that I have liked! While I typically steer away from florals, this is very soft and creamy, so I can totally handle it!! I will DEFINITELY be keeping this imp!


  15. Dark and smoky, like a pub-room of olde. I figured this would be quite masculine, and while I think it would be fabulous on my SO (can't wait till he gets home so I can pounce and slather!), I actually like it on myself as well! Definitely not a scent to wear while feeling uber-feminine, but wow! I really like this!!!


  16. Hm, this is very, very faint. I have had to try it three times to really get a good idea from this scent. Between the patchouli and the gardenia, I thought for sure this would be really strong, but for some reason I haven't gotten that result!

     

    Nice, though. Subtle, which again I wouldn't have expected. I can smell a slight sweet-citrus. Slight woody-floraly-type scent. But very nice!!! Elegant is the word that comes to mind with this scent.


  17. As much as I love Dragon's Blood scent, for some reason all of the BPAL I have tried with Dragon's Blood have not worked, which really sucks!

     

    This one was no different. Dragon Blood-scented soap, cleanser, whatever. Ew. No clove, cherry, just cleanser. Ew.


  18. Citrus and lavender, all the way. Reviewing other reviews no one else seemed to amp the lavender right away (just skimmed so if I missed it sorry), but right off the bat I can smell it. But I LOVE lavender so it's ok, especially since most of the lavender scents haven't worked on me.

     

    A little bit of the chocolate mint peeking out but mostly citrus and lavender. Mmmmm.... Not edible mmm.... But mmmmm all the same.


  19. Mexican Hot Chocolate, all the way, bay-bee!!! OMG- even in the bottle my mouth was watering!!!! This is heavenly goodness that completely satisfies my morning chocolate cravings!!! I seriously want to lick my wrists!!! When I opened the bottle and put it on the morning, all three of my daughters almost immediately crowded around me (they were in the other room when I opened the bottle) to smell me and beg for "potion" as they call it.... Needless to say as I drove them to school my vehicle smelled SOOOOO heavenly with all four of us well-slathered....

     

    Yummy milky, cinnamony hot chocolate goodness.
