In the imp: Very sweet and warm! Delicious! Wet: Gorgeous appley scent with a hint of cinnamon. When I smell it I feel like I could overcome anything! I also feel very warm, like it's wrapping me up and protecting me. I love it! Dry: Turning very spicy now. I could bathe in this!
-
In the imp: Coconut and flowers, which I'm assuming is the iris! Wet: The iris pushes forwards and this becomes very floral on me! I also get the white musk and the coconut and hazelnut are JUST there in the background. Dry: Still floral, with a little more coconut now. It's nice, but not something I would wear all the time.
-
In the imp: Lily and a hint of vanilla! On my skin, it disappears quickly! But it seems the same on me as it was in the imp. Actually very lovely, and not as dark as I first thought it would be! Very creamy! Yum!
-
In the imp, what I think is magnolia, but I can't be certain. On my skin: JASMINE. HELLO. I also get rose, but my skin seems to amp rose. It's nice, but I think the rose is putting me off. Why does my skin have to love rose when I don't?
-
One of my favourites! In the imp it smells like luscious berries! On my skin it is mostly blackberry with the musk and tea in the background. It's so beautiful, and I'm going to get a big bottle with my next order!
-
In bottle: Strawberry cheesecake! On my skin, there's a sting of sharp strawberry and cherry, and the cakey smell hovers around in the background. Only need a small amount with this one! The throw is incredible! After a while, I'm just left with a syrupy strawberry scent. Yum!

In the imp I can smell sandalwood. Seems quite nice! On my skin, there's the rosewood making an appearanc along with the sandalwood, and ooh -- the jasmine is poking through now! I think this is a bit too woody for me though. The sandalwood seems to have taken over everything else! It's still a nice musky scent though.
-
In the imp: Ooh, freshly cut grass with a hint of flowers! Wet: Still grassy, but I think that's the tulip poking up there! Dry: Watery and aquatic, like dewy grass! The flowers are still there, but only slightly. Reminds me of a shower gel I've tried before, 'Cool Breeze' or something like that! Refreshing!

In the imp I get a strong whiff of milk and rose! On my skin, I still get milk and rose, but it's more pleasant and warm. I'm guessing that's the honey! I didn't think I would like this when I first sniffed it, but actually, I quite like it! It reminds me a bit of those milk bottle sweets that you can buy. Drying down, the rose is the most prominent scent, and though I'm not too fond of rose, everything else helps it to balance out nicely. A nice every day scent!

This smells like lovely peach lipbalm to me! Very soft and subtle. My skin seems to eat it up though! The musk goes really well with everything and makes it a really nice combination! Very summery!
-
I'm not sure why it took me so long to love Dorian, but I'm definitely making up for lost time! In the bottle I smell tea. Slightly spicy tea! On my skin, it seems I also amp tea. But that's a good thing! It's such a lovely sugary tea, just how I love tea myself! Then after a while, a hint of lemon peeks through, along with the vanilla. At the moment I'm getting florals too, and it's just...GUH. *dies* I love it. It's such a divine scent! Getting a 5ml with my next order!

I've had White Phoenix for a little while now without testing it, and decided on a whim to try it today. I'm so glad I did! It's absolutely lovely! In the bottle it smells quite chemically, which is probably what put me off at first. Once on my skin though, it morphs into this gorgeous soft, clean floral scent. It's not overpowering, but is slightly powdery, which isn't a bad thing. I'm not a massive lavender fan and I can smell it coming out ever so slightly, but I think the sugar and cotton even it all out and make it perfect! It has good lasting power too!

Strawberry is one of my favourite scents, so I was really excited about Strawberry Moon 09! In the bottle, it's sweet, sharp, delicious strawberry. Kind of candy-like. It reminds me of strawberry laces! Wet on my skin, it stays exactly the same as in the bottle, with a hint of sugar, and is really strong! I'm in heaven. It's so mouth-watering! Drying off, a green, leafy scent starts to peek through the strawberry, and the sharpness tones down a little leaving a gorgeous, subtle fruity scent. I wasn't disappointed!

I was frimped this and was slightly dubious, having never really thought much of the sound of 'Dragon's Blood'. I just opened the imp up to take a sniff and wow, did I get a shock - it smells just like how my man smells. So I applied it and have proceeded to huff the scent of him for the past 10 minutes. Now that I'm biased, I will say this is a lovely scent. It does however, smell rather soapy on me on drydown, but upon first application I could definitely smell the amber. It may encourage me to try other Dragon's Blood blends though, to see if I can find one I really like!

Fearful Pleasure arrived to me as a frimp this morning in the post, and I'm so very grateful! In the imp, I can smell strong, sharp cider with a hint of spice. Once applied, there's a hit of orange peel right there, but that soon fades into wonderful, delicious crisp apple peel. Upon drying, there's just a wonderful warm, mulled apple scent, with a hint of cinnamon lingering in the background. I think this may become one of my favourites!

I knew when I first found out about BPAL and saw Bliss on the website, that I HAD to try it. So it was one of the first scents that I chose, and yet it's taken me this long to review it! In the imp, it smells of pure, melted chocolate. Delicious! I decided tonight that I wanted to indulge myself, and slathered myself in Bliss after my shower, mixed with my unscented moisturiser. Oh my! I smell great. After about an hour or so, the melted chocolate has dried into more of a powdery cocoa, with a slightly perfumy background, which doesn't take away from the chocolate at all. Perfect scent if you feel like a cosy night in with a hot chocolate and a movie!

In Bottle: Very sweet, dusty, definitely reminds me of old linen. I didn't think I would like it from the first sniff. On Skin: Whoa, what's this? Vanilla? And even more vanilla? Oh, Antique Lace, you sly beast! I love vanilla! It works on my skin so well; It's not too heady, nor is it too faint, it's just perfect! And the scent is divine. Very dusky vanilla, which reminds me exactly of a 'Vanilla Fountain' from LUSH. Just gorgeous! I must get a 5ml of this when I can!

First Sniff: Sticky Pillowcase! Funny that I had bottles of both Sticky Pillowcase and Candy Phoenix arrive on the same day, so my first thought was 'Wow, they smell almost exactly the same!'. Which makes me very happy, because I like both scents, and now I have two bottles that smell the same as each other! On Skin: Apple. Apple, apple, apple! And sugar. Very sharp. I love it. So glad I decided to order it after all. ADDED Aug. 30: In bottle: Pears and black currants. Mmmmm. Wet: Very pear and apple! Green fruit. Still getting a hint of berries, it kind of reminds me of Bewitched in a way, but more sugary. Dry: Sugary! Love it. I want to eat my hand. Definitely reminds me of candies!
