In The Bottle Softly herby with some florals On Application Floral and herbal Dry Down This started off as quite heavily floral but softens to quite a lovely soft floral and hay-like scent. Nice but not particularly to my liking. Rating (0-5) 3

In The Bottle Herbal and lavender On Application Lavender and smooth chamomile with a slight fruitiness Dry Down Really pretty. Smooth with some depth. I definitely get wafts of tart and fresh currants occasionally and the play of chamomile and grapefruit gives a kind of mintiness. Lovely and the changeability of the scent is very Cheshire Cat-like Rating (0-5) 4

In The Bottle Cool and softly snowy. Reminds me of Smow White missing an element which makes SW deeper and richer On Application Really beautiful snowy floral. Dry Down This could have a complete fail but I had hoped it would work. It does. Stunningly beautiful scent reminiscent of Kumari Kandam which is one of my favorites. Rating (0-5) 5

In The Bottle Not alot. Faintly sweet On Application White, pale musk perfume Dry Down Wow. Really disappointingly thin and pale. All I get is the musk and iris Rating (0-5) 1

In The Bottle Dry, thin and sllightly spicy On Application Definitely dry and stony (not dusty) Dry Down Smells kind of like a high end talcum powder. I expected to reallly love this but...no. Rating (0-5) 1

In The Bottle Caramel and vanilla On Application Wow, I get buttery toast and custard!! Dry Down This is incredible. The buttery toast and custard morphs to fruit (pineapple definitely), custartd, toffee. Love it. It ends on pure, thich, rich and vevety vanilla custard. Yum Rating (0-5) 5

In The Bottle Sweet and spicy dirt On Application Lighter and thinner than expected. As aboce and kind of sweet. Dry Down What a strange scent. I almost get parsley. Every single note listed screamed that this would be a perfect scent for me but alas it is pure fail. Rating (0-5) 1

In The Bottle Sweet and lightly floral On Application The above with honey and little smoky leather Dry Down This is really light. It doesn't take long for the woods and leather to emerge and make this blend awesome. This is so hard to describe but it is no true to the concept it is awesome. I get a floral perfumey quality overlaying the leather and hard wood ad throughout a smokey subtle spiciness. Rating (0-5) 4.5

In The Bottle Charred wood indeed On Application Vetiver but fairly smooth. Interesting Dry Down So far the Good Omens scents have mostly been outstandingly good on me and this is no exception. As the deescription states - charred wood and gunpowder with the thin metallic notes of the rusty nails. Rating (0-5) 4.5

In The Bottle Magnolia, lavender and rose. Not a good start On Application Powdery cat pee and candy Dry Down Just strange. Kind of bleach and cat pee. Ah well. Can't win them all and this series has some major wins Rating (0-5) 0

Deadly and seductive: vanilla-infused sandalwood, blood musk, antique patchouli, vetiver, lavender, bitter almond, amber, and a trickle of Snake Oil. In The Bottle Snake oil, lavender and patchouli. A little unsettling because of the lavender/patchouli interaction. On Application Interseting. Almost a wintergreen and snake oil vibe. Wow. Very different than I expected from first sniff. Dry Down There is a really unusual trat berryness to this to start with. The notes do not play well together to start with and then, magically (just when I have crossed it off my must haves list), it turns incredible. Sweet and powdery dry, I can start to make a out the snake oil spiciness and the amber and patchouli. In the end, lovely. Rating (0-5) 4

In The Bottle Definitely a flavoured tobacco and something vaguely sweet On Application Gorgeous, first up. Strong tobacco and dry woods. Dry Down I really love this. It kind of reminds me of a sawmill and tobacco. Seems to stay fairly true thoughout the drydown. This is so very different from any other BPAL scent I have tried that I am mildly surprised. I absolutely must have this. Rating (0-5) 5

In The Bottle Surprisingly sharply cologney On Application The "cologne" scent is the faded incense, I think. This is really not what I expected. Dry Down This eventually deepens and becomes smokier. It is not until about 15 minutes into the drydown that I get The old dustiness that I was expecting. And the candle wax comes though gently. I like it and I would wear it but the beginnig is somewhat confusing. Rating (0-5) 4

In The Bottle Mandarin, a touch of bergamot and cinnamon On Application Rose? Definitely rose and mandarin. Huh? Quite nice though Dry Down This reminds me of a soap but I donlt know what. It is nice but I still get strong rose. And the it degenerates to a generic floral air freshener. Would smell nice on someone other than me. Rating (0-5) 1.5

In The Bottle Definitely leather, vanilla, red musk and patchouli. Deep and complex On Application Leather, musk and ginger first up. Gorgeous, dark and thick Dry Down This really is stunning. A smooth base of vanilla, musk and honey with spikes of ginger, pepper and clove and leather all the way through. At times the leather really amps up but it is the amazing deep, aged leather that BPAL does so well. Outstanding Rating (0-5) 5

In The Bottle Dark lavender On Application Lavnder, promarily, but I can detect magnolia and labdanum Dry Down Herby and a little green. And then just straight lavender with a tiny touch of amber's sweet powderiness. Rating (0-5) 2

Yep, Othello, although I don't really get a lot of actual rose from it I love it

In The Bottle I smell vetiver On Application Very, very strong vetiver. Smokestack strong Dry Down The vetiver has a bacony tinge to it. This is pretty much a dead ringer for Smokestack. I like them both but don think would wear them. Rating (0-5) 3

In The Bottle All I can smell is jasmine :-( On Application Jasmine and lily. Ugh! Dry Down I would swear there is call lily in this blend as well. Starts off as nasty jasmine based floral (don't get me wrong, I like jasmine - on other people). I was hoping the musk and vanilla would come along and save the day but apparently they don't like jasmine either. Rating (0-5) 1.5

In The Bottle Kind of green and fruity On Application Slightly fruity and creamy to start and then some florals Dry Down This is definitely very much like Snow White. May be a little more floral. I prefer Snow White. Rating (0-5) 3.5

In The Bottle Vetiver and a touch of Snake Oil On Application Strong vetiver with the smooth spiciness of snake oil. Dry Down Pretty much all vetiver supported by spiced vanilla. I like vetiver but this is strong and unsettling. I am so not sure about this one. I love vetiver but this does nothing for me. Rating (0-5) 3 ETA: On final drydown this smells like strong coffee and smoke so now I love it

In The Bottle Sweet and floral On Application Very floral but I can pick out the spicy narcissus. Snake oil comes to the fore very quickly Dry Down This reminds me of Hunger (one of my favourites) very much - smoky vanilla and narcissus. The florals lighten up as the other floral notes make an appearance cutting through the initial heavinesss and headiness of the oil. And then the whole thing kind of disappears on me. Snake oil never does that. Strange. Rating (0-5) 3.5

In The Bottle Berryish and a lttle bit herbal with a faint snake oil edge On Application Nice. Dry and amberish with a sweet fruitiness without being really fruity. Dry Down This one is so cool. The acai berry is definitely reconisable as fruit but there is a greenness to it. The snake oil starts to manifest fairly soon after application to the skin but doesn't take over. The fruit tends to turn a little sour and tart but I quite like that. Rating (0-5) 4.5

In The Bottle Apple, red and ripe On Application Beautiful apple with a bit of plumeria giving it a floral tinge Dry Down It takes a while for the snake oil to make an appearance. This is mostly apple with a dry, dusty background until the snake oil comes through. I am impressed with the staying power of the apple. Rating (0-5) 4.5

In The Bottle Snake oil and almond On Application Strong almond with a snake oil backing. Almost leathery. Dry Down The almond backs off to let the myrrh through with a strong snake oil component. I get a tiny wee bit of citrus. Almond is not a favourite note but it is quite nice in this because it behaves and gives the whole blend a depth. This ends up slightly smoky and the myrrh gives a dryness which is delightful and almost peppery. Not my favourite snake but nice and bottle worthy. Rating (0-5) 4
