  1. Other Sugar Cookie versions were too sickly sweet on me, but this year's was perfect. Rich, sugary, spicy, buttery cookie goodness. A tiny bit rummy too, but in a good way. Happy I can wear this classic!


  2. This smells like an apple note soap or air freshener... and I think that I have smelled a similar note in Yankee Candle. Apple notes don't often play well on my skin and this is no exception. In the imp this smelled a lot more effervescent and fizzy, so my guess is that this is a skin chemistry issue and others might get a very different experience.


  3. Fizzy, sweet and a "pink" champagne blend. This really does smell pink to me. The champagne is faint and there is a strawberry element, but there's more too, maybe some kind of very light rose floral? I can't put my finger on it. It's fun and very girly, but not for me, alas.


  4. This scent is double-win for me because normally the lab's pumpkin note is too gross and buttery on me and the marshmallow/sweets scents are too sweet and cloying. In this case, it's like the best of both worlds! The pumpkin is warm and spiced, but not thick and buttery. The marshmallow gives the pumpkin the sweetness, and sticks around after the pumpkin is gone. Delicious, tasty and satisfying!


  5. JACK
    The scent of warm, glowing jack o'lanterns on a warm autumn night: true Halloween pumpkin, spiced with nutmeg, glowing peach and murky clove.


    Fabulous pumpkin, peach and spices. So much better than how Jack the oil smelled on me! This soap is the rich, mellow orange of pumpkin purée.

  6. RIMMON
    Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. – the Song of Solomon, 4:3


    Tart and sweet pomegranate. This works much better on my skin than the lab's pom perfume notes. The soap is a fabulous purple color with a magenta sparkle on top.

  7. This is one of my favorite of the BPTP new soap bars. The salt, rum and wood form a rich, yummy unisex scent that appeals to everyone I've begged to sniff my soap! All the pink salt on top fell off when I got it in the shower, but that's ok. Soap wise this is great, silken, lathery and not drying. The perfume doesn't linger on my skin.


  8. Crushed East Lothian Pippin apples scattered amongst fallen leaves from dool trees, Arran Whitebeams, and Lochwood oaks.


    This smells like a lot of dried leaves tinged with a sweet autumn hint of apples. The apples are crisp. This is like the gorgeous love-child of October and Samhain. I love it! I think as it ages, the apple will get more prominent.

    As a soap, it's much like the other Villainess for BPTP soaps, a slick, cleansing lather that doesn't dry my skin, leave a residue and has the barest hint of fragrance after drying. Huge, mega thumbs up!

  9. This seemed like it would be such a win on me, but instead all I get is black pepper, clove and a very tiny hint of tea. No patchouli, cardamom or carnation. In the decant it did smell a bit earthier, I assume thanks to the patchouli, but that is not coming out on me. Shoot!


  10. Snake Oil with a cinnamony-ginger tinge. It doesn't seem to mix well to me, the mysterious vanilla-musk-spices of Snake Oil and then the sharp cinnamon and ginger offset each other. This burned a bit, but faded quickly. The red ginger in particular was the only note left and it is not a good one on me. I swapped my bottle away.


  11. This is totally Snow White's fun, beachy, Hawaiian hapa cousin named Beach Tan. She is exotic and fun loving. Beach Tan will wake up at six am to go surfing, cut off the boys and then team up with her friend to do a tandem headstand for a final ride on the waves. Beach Tan has long, shiny, wavy brown hair that is highlighted from the sun. She lives in a bikini with a tube dress coverup and flip flops. She always smells like the summer version of Snow White, softer, warmer with a hint more coconut than her cousin. She is light and fun and perfect for warm, summery adventures.


  12. ladyjc hit this on the nose... it's straight up aged Snake Oil in bath oil form! I use it as a mix with my moisturizer, a nickel-sized pool in my palm mixed with unscented lotion resulted in a delicious scented moisturizer that has lasted 3 hours so far and still strong. I would like a hot tub filled with this stuff!
