    Dragon's Milk

    Dragon's Milk reminds me of root beer flavored hard candies, with a hint of milkiness. Smells amazing aged. Bought a couple bottles and wore it as my outdoor music fest scents for years!

    Eden

    Eden is a pretty scent. I've worn it for a couple days now. It's really light and has zero throw - I legit can't smell it unless I'm actually sniffing my skin.

    Zephyr

    A gentle white scent, breezes laced with the scent of springtime blooms and citrus. Lemon, lemon verbena, neroli, white musk, white florals, white sandalwood, China musk, bergamot and a drop of vanilla. When dried, Zephyr smells like sexy baby powder on my skin. It has zero throw and I have to sniff my wrists to pick up any scent.

    Bengal

    Bengal smells like thick syrup honey, made from spicy flowers. Faded from my skin really fast.

    Good

    It starts off smelling like musk with sweet sugar in the background - but then thirty minutes later it is pure incense on my skin.

    Bread-and-Butter-Fly

    Bread and Butterfly turns to soap on my skin. Bummer!

    Al-Shairan

    Incense!

    Tamora

    Tamora started off nice but quickly turned into 'play-dough mixed with baby powder' on my skin. I really wanted this one to work. Bummer.

    Sprinklecake

    Chocolate cake that slightly grows a berry scent, maybe like raspberry frosting. Not much throw though.

    Eat Me

    On my skin, Eat Me smells like someone made a pie filling from apricots or nectarines.

    The Last Unicorn

    I wanted to love this scent but it's not for me. My skin makes it have a very strong/high pitched flower scent mixed with baby powder. Bummer!

    Midway

    I recently got ahold of a 2007 bottle of Midway (Resurrected). I like it, it smells like a mix of Sticky Pillowcase and possibly Yule Cookies together (or another buttery/brown sugar scent). It doesn't have much throw and doesn't last very long, but I can see why it has a cult following.

    Yule Cookie

    Yule Cookies was sweet/candy-ish on my skin,

    Pumpkin V (2009)

    I should know to check the notes before buying. Couldn't figure out why this one disagreed with me so much and later realized it had coffee bean in it. My mistake. : )

    Pumpkin Queen

    In Bottle - Smells like yummy buttery pumpkin pie with spices. There's some kinda sexy powder in here too. Would love to get ahold of more bottles.

    Mother Shub's Pumpkin Pecan Treacle Tarts

    I grew up in the south with a huge pecan tree in my front yard. As a kid, I'd crack open pecans and eat them fresh off the tree - so I'm sure you'll understand what a disappointment this scent was to me. Wet - I'm getting some light pecan but mostly getting dough and flour, but it's the raw pre-baked form and not the baked/crispy/buttery type that I had hoped for. Dry - It never gets to the point where it smells like buttery pecans, it's more like a scratch-and-sniff sticker version. I also get zero pumpkin in this.

    Dorian

    Dorian is one of those scents that gets better with age! When I do a side-by-side comparison of my six year old bottle with the new bottle, the aged one wins easily. In bottle - bergamot, musk, and sugar. Dry - This smells amazing on me which is why it's my second favorite Bpal scent. Verdict - I will always own a bottle of Dorian. Definitely a keeper for life.

    Lady Una

    I purchased my first Lady Una bottle six years ago at a Bpal meet and sniff, she had owned it for years. In bottle - Smells delicate and gorgeous. On skin - Amazing. I recently purchased a new bottle directly from Bpal and it doesn't smell the same. When I do a side-by-side comparison of the two Lady Una bottles, the new one smells very different. I think i would only ever wear this if it's aged by five plus years.

    Bewitched

    First try - I was initially disappointed because it didn't smell how I thought it would. I also had no self control and had opened and sniffed every bottle/imp from the package I had just received from Bpal, so my palate was overloaded with scents. Second try - After trying it months later - yeah, Bewitched smells pretty good like berries and sugar! I love every single place this oil takes me. Verdict - I'm so happy that I gave it another chance and didn't immediately swap it. I've been wearing this scent for SIX YEARS now and it's one of my favorites. It is a keeper for life. People compliment me when I wear this. I highly recommend you try this aged to get the best version of it.

    Bordello

    In Bottle - It smells like black cherry kool-aid meets marshmallow, yum! It's always good when something reminds you of your childhood. Dry - I like this scent, after a bit it gets more mature. Keeper. It gets better with age. I have a six year old bottle and a brand new one - the older one smells deeper and more rich.

    Snake Oil

    I have tried this scent multiple times and do not like it. Though, I let two guys I know try it and it smelled amazing on both of them (one ended up buying a full bottle for himself). So I know it can smell good, it just doesn't work for my skin.

    Carnal

    It smells like mandarin oranges and sugar in the bottle and I like it! My skin changes it though so it didn't work for me!

    Cockaigne

    Wet on skin: Sweet buttery cakes, yum! Dry on skin: Tobacco. Totally reminds me of the cigars my pawpaw smoked. I'm surprised there's no tobacco in the scent notes but something in it turns to cigars on me!

    Morocco

    Morocco is exactly what I look for in a musk and it's definitely big-bottle worthy. It's a very soft, sweet, and sexy scent. Smells best aged, or if you can get a pre-2016 bottle!

    Jack

    Jack is so amazing and I love this scent. I'd like to find a drink that tastes as good as Jack smells! My only issue is after the dry down - it starts to lose the sweetness on my skin so I have to reapply. It's great mixed with other scents and also worn in a scent locket.
