    Snow, Glass, Apples

    Oh this is painfully gorgeous!! I bought this from the Comic website, and I am quite thrilled to have an autographed copy of Snow, Glass, Apples, as I am a big Neil fan. What an amazing scent, this smells like chilly winter apples. Yep, it's the Lab's gorgeous, chilly, winter note, like the one found in Ice Queen, combined with an outrageously fresh apple scent. This is a combination of Ice Queen and Poisoned Apple. What more could I ask for in a scent?? Sexy vampire apples is right! I feel privileged to have a bottle of this, and someone will have to pry this from my cold dead hands!!

    Hellhound on My Trail

    Dark, spicy, manly and deep smelling. There is a many layered depth to this blend, and each time I sniff it, it smells a bit different to me. When I first applied it, it smelled super spicy, and actually reminded me a bit of Red Phoenix. But, as it dried down, the rum and tobacco notes started showing a little more. Now it smells like a strong tobacco/rum blend with a hint of resinous herbal notes in the undertones. Very interesting indeed, a shape shifter for sure. It's very strong and long lasting, and definitely what I would consider a men's scent. Deep and rich, but just not quite my thing.

    Sticky Pillowcase

    Sticky sweet BPAL goodness!! I knew I would love this one, and I certainly do! It reminds me very much of a combination of the original Sugar Skull crossed with Treat #2 (the glittering mountain of hard candy Treat, I think that was #2?). There is that gorgeously scrumptious caramelized sugar note, with delicious undertones of strawberry candies and other fruity confectionery delights. The fruitiness factor is what makes this one so special; the lab has a few sugary delight blends out already, but none have such a wonderful fruitiness to them. This is awesome, exactly what I want in a Halloween blend! To top it off, it is strong and long lasting.

    Harvest Moon 2008

    Deliciously autumn! Without looking at the ingredients, I first think; fresh Fall air, crisp red apples, and fresh hays and grasses. This certainly smells like a perfect autumn day. It's the perfect balance between ripe harvest fruits, which I see now must be the juniper berries, and chilly air with outdoorsy plant smells. This is unique from the other Harvest Moons, and special and different enough so that I think I might keep it even though I have the others. This has medium throw for a moon, and is somewhat long lasting. Very lovely and unisex, my boyfriend sniffed this and said "succulent!"

    Green Tree Viper

    Ooooo, Snake Oil with a zingy, refreshing, effervescent mint twist. It's green and minty and cool, yet sweet and sticky and vanilla - ish at the same time. This actually reminds me very much of the gorgeous Tokyo Stomp; it has the very same vanilla mint decadence quality to it. On the dry down, the green tea comes out a little more, which is a lovely compliment to the the sweet mint. This is unbelievably lovely, very sweet, fresh and girly at the same time.

    Irrelevant and Disturbing Surreal Crawdad Dream

    This is fruity in a light, airy, unique way. It actually reminds me quite a bit of Mi Go Brain Canister, and has that same type of "ethereal," slightly creeping fruit feel. The top notes on me are the red currant and the green tea, and there are lovely undertones of vanilla and the ginger. I absolutely love the combination of green tea and any kind of fruit; automatic winner for me. This does not have a lot of throw, but that does not stop me from constantly sniffing my wrist. I like this very much, both the scent and the genius of the dream embodiment. Very very nice!!

    Sturgeon Moon

    Very very light, green and aquatic. This is very blended, and is sort of a generalized "water" scent on me. I can pick out the light musk note as well as the cucumber, but the rest is rather vague florals. It's very innocent smelling, feminine and reminiscent of youth. Not a lot of throw, you have to be close up to smell it. I am just not into the aquatics, so this is not the moon for me.

    Saw-Scaled Viper

    This is very, very strong red cinnamon scent. The red ginger and cinnamon are so strong in this, in fact, that I can barely detect the actual Snake Oil base. I can detect hints of the cassia in the undertones, but it definitely takes a back seat to the other two notes. This is super strong, and I bet it would last all day on my skin. I'm not a huge red hot cinnamon fan, for for those of you who are cinnamon lovers, this is your dream scent.

    Anaconda

    Oh yes, this is indeed good stuff! I definitely agree with the previous reviews that this smells like a combination of aged Snake Oil and Sugar Skull '04. There is that fabulous musky, vanillaness of the Snake Oil, combined with the slightly burned sugar edge that Sugar Skull, the original release, has. This is just fantastic, I honestly can't think of two better BPAL scents to combine. This is pretty much custom fitted to my scent tastes. It's strong, with a lot of throw. Rich, deep, dark, drop dead sexy. Why can't I buy a gallon of this??!!!!!

    Habu

    Snake Oil with ho wood, teak, black musk, and bamboo. A very strong, prominant bamboo note immediately jumps out at me. There is a strong, almost sharp woodsy note that emerges after a few minutes. Although I can see how people are getting lemon from this, that citrusey effect is really only a faint undertone on me. I honestly can't really smell the Snake Oil at all! A nice, really unique scent, but not quite my thing.

    Asp Viper (2006)

    Ooooo la la, this is to die for!! This is an absolutely gorgeous interpretation of Snake Oil; sweet and sexy with an almond base. While the almond note is drool inducing, it's evenly balanced by the sheer sexiness of the red mandarin combined with the vanilla note in Snake Oil. This is the love child of Ravenous and Snake Oil. This is just one of those knock down drag out must have BPAL scents. I can't say enough good about it, I will certainly be purchasing a bottle ASAP!! Positively fabulous, sexy to the max, strong and long lasting.

    Te Po

    Whoa! This is a strong liquor blend, it almost burned my nostrils out at first sniff! It smells like a very strong spiced rum smoothed over with a powerful black cherry note. It reminds me a bit of a black cherry brandy, or some kind of syrupy sweet liqueour. Very powerful throw, one of the strongest I've ever sniffed! This is definitely a bit too strong for me, but lovely if you want to smell bar drunk all day!!

    Dragon Moon 2008

    This is a very fragrant, light and woodsy moon. The dragon's blood resin is the base, and the rest of the notes are so well blended I'm having a hard time picking individual ones out. I can definitely smell the peppermint, cedar and a touch of the sweetgrass, but the rest is a mystery to me! The longer I wear it, the stronger the dragon's blood note becomes. This is a very nice unisex blend, and is incensey while being clean at the same time, which is quite a feat in my book. Not a lot of throw, but that's par for the course as far as lunacies go on me. Very pretty!

    Boomslang

    Wow, I knew I would have to have a bottle of this once I sniffed it, and I was right! Snake Oil with pure, sinful cocoa. It doesn't get much better than this. The only thing I can think of better than aged Snake Oil, is snake oil with chocolate in it!! It's rich, deep, strong, decadent and delicious. My mouth actually started watering after I sniffed my wrist for awhile! I love the lab's cocoa note; it's so in your face and long lasting. I LOVE this, I definitely need a 5ml!!!

    Cottonmouth

    Snake Oil with linden blossom, calla lily, passion flower, and narcissus. I don't smell much of the Snake Oil part of this, but it certainly does smell lovely!! It's a very clean scent, like fresh linens in the springtime, sort of like B&BW's Cotton Blossom fragrance. There is a slight hint of vanilla sweetness in the background, but I really have to search for it to pick it up. Very pretty scent, clean yet a little creamy at the same time, unique. This has medium throw and lasting power. A very nice scent, but not quite enough 'snake oily' for me.

    Mort de Cesar

    Very spicy, deep and complex. The clove is definitely on top, and gives this blend a very masculine feel to me. There is a dark, incensey undertone that nicely compliments the hint of wine grapes I can barely detect. This is a very brown/ dark red scent for me, and it would be very, very sexy on your favorite guy. This is very strong, as clove blends often are, and I would imagine it will last for a very long time on my skin. Very rich and complex, not quite my thing, but great on a man.

    Worm Moon 2008

    Oh definitely as wormy as it gets!! This is a very deep "dirty" smell, but without actually being dirty, if that makes any sense! When I first put it on, I can smell the lab's famous dirt note right off the bat, but not much else. Then, a few minutes later, it relaxes into a melancholy, medicinal earthen scent with a hint of overripe fruit in the background. Sort of like a gravedigger at work who's still all cologned up from last nights date, lol. This is a fabulous embodiment of Worm Moon, but unfortunately not my cup of tea for an everyday scent. Perfect for Halloween though!

    Upa Upa

    Wow!! Fantastic smelling, what a wonderful surprise! This is very spicy and gourmand. A gorgeous, syrupy spiced rum slathered with vanilla and coconut with the barest hint of the fruity pineapple. I absolutely love this!! I didn't expect it to smell quite so "ginger bread- y," but I'm really glad it does. This is very strong upon application and I have a feeling it will last all day with very little fading. Nice and strong, just like I like 'em! Gorgeous, wonderful, my favorite of the Atomic Luau.

    Opuhi

    This is undeniably soft, vanilla, feminine and gorgeous, but I can barely smell it!! I just applied it and it's already almost completely gone. At close sniff, it smells like a soft, sugary vanilla smoothed over with a pink smelling floral. Very very pretty, delicate and sweet. Sort of like a very very toned down Pink Moon, the second release. I love this scent, my only complaint is that my skin sucks it up like a sponge and it's gone almost instantly!

    Eisheth Zenunim

    This is very sexy! On me it mainly smells like peaches, patchouli and honey with the barest hint of cocoa in the background. I absolutely love the lab's patchouli note in conjunction with anything sweet; that seals the deal for me! the reminds me a bit of a combination of Depraved and Fae, with a touch more smoothness from the honey note. This is an awesome scent! None of the ladies I have tried so far have let me down!!

    Agrat-Bat-Mahlaht

    Gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous! Thick, sweet honey and amber slathered over with the cream accord ( one of my favorites) and underscored by a hint of caramel and apple blossom. This is just lovely, even better than I had hoped. This is like a hodge - podge of all my favorite BPAL notes in one! How delightful! This is very sinful and extremely sweet and foody. Sort of like eating a caramel apple in the back of a honey hive. Very very different from any foody scent I've ever sniffed, but definitely a winner in my book !! Fabulous!

    Dionysia

    This is simply gorgeous! A beautiful fruity scent, made of equal parts of the luscious plum, pomegranate, and raspberry. While the berries take the front seat, it is the undertones that really make this blend amazing. There is a rich, multi - layered patchouli and frankincense backdrop as well as a hint of deep mahogany; the cherry on the sundae. I absolutely love berry scents when they are layered with the lab's outrageously perfect patchouli note, and this blend is no exception. On the dry down, the plum note really takes center stage, and it becomes extremely berrilicious, which is also great with me. I am sooo glad I ordered this one unsniffed, it actually exceeded my expectations of awesomeness!! Hail to the BPAL glory, this rocks!!

    Dyan Moon

    This is a very strong, white musk floral blend. Very very feminine to the extreme, but not without a certain edge to it. The top notes on me are the rose, light musk, and wisteria. I can detect a distinctly herbal base; but not so much a "green" herbal as a wild, untamed nature - y herbal scent. On the dry down it becomes very crystalline with a lovely white floral feel. Very pretty, and quite strong for a lunar blend.

    Rangoon Riptide

    Yummy!! This reminds me of a tropical smoothie you would get made fresh at a health food store. I mainly smell citrus and raspberry, but in kind of all blurs into one delicious fruity explosion. The alcohol note is really toned down in this blend, and the rum gives Riptide a sooth, creamy feel instead of sharp alcohol. This doesn't have a ton of throw or lasting power, but I like it very much.

    Hexennacht (2008)

    I am a huge fan of the original Hexennacht blend, so naturally I was excited about this one. Wow, this is strong stuff; knock you on your ass stong! There is a very heavy top note of pine trees, with deep undertones of smoke and incense. Very dark scent, and seems more on the masculine side to me. This has a ton of throw, and lasts all day on me. This would be very sexy on a man, but certainly not my kind of thing.
