Wow, not many reviews here so will add my very first one! (don't know why I've waited since I've been wearing BPAL for a few years or more...). Here goes nothing!

Origin: Will Call 1/30/10

Initial Thoughts: I have an imp of TKO and like it but it’s a little sweet. Works nice with lotion. Having read reviews of TKO V3 stating it has less of the marshmallow scent and more of the lavender I thought it would be worth trying. So it’s late at night and hoping not only does it smell nice (I like lavender) but helps me to have a decent sleep.

In the Bottle: The Lavender is a bit sharp, almost as if it is fighting with the marshmallow. But I know lavender tends to do this while in a liquid state.

Wet: In deed, the lavender is less sharp once applied to the skin. While the marshmallow is still there, the lavender is stronger. I don’t mind this, it’s like trying a lavender scented candy. Leaves me wondering if a little cream scent was added if it would smell like lavender scented white chocolate.

Drydown: Lavender wins but marshmallow is not far behind. This scent does get faint in just a few hours. Still, it’s nice. Many hours later I can still smell the faint scent of lavender.

Verdict. I would say that if someone wanted a lavender scent with a difference, this might be worth a try. I think the sweet marshmallow scent is a nice change from floral scents such as roses that often are mixed with lavender. I personally enjoy this one.

I agree with your review, and yes, the label is different from previous releases.

I would suggest that anyone getting this lovely scent, take a look at the post card that comes with it. I didn't know where to post about the new scents that are going to come out as part of the Odeum. They have been busy in the Lab!

I received a frimp of Fruit Cake with my order today also!

I've yet to try it on, but just smelling it, almond, buttery vanilla and cherries. Fairly strong and guarenteed to makes me hungry!
