After reading the first page of reviews, I was convinced my imp was mislabeled! I don't get an impression of Snake Oil at all! On me, this is nothing but super sweet floral. This will be traded ASAP!

For a long time, I've been trying to find a scent to duplicate a homemade scented body butter I bought from an African woman at a street fair. I thought this would be it. It's no where close. In the bottle, it all green. Wet: green with a hint of something woodsy. Dry: green with a hint of pencil shavings. This is not what I expected.

Another surprising frimp! I would not have ordered this. I'm finding that most florals just don't work on me. Wet, it has a nice, bright, clean orange blossom, my fav floral. It dried quickly, too quickly for my taste, and became a very mild, floral scent with no single note jumping out. I will have to try this a couple time before deciding.

imp: honey with something fruity behind and slightly green

wet:green with a touch of sweet honey

dry: it's sweet but not overly so, the fruit and green totally gone.

 

This was a frimp and not something I would have ordered. I loved the wet scent, but that only lasted a couple minutes. I think this might make a nice room or car scent.

 

Ugh! Why did I order this?!?! I love jasmine on the plant and keep ordering jasmine scents hoping to find one that smells like my plant. It just doesn't do well on my skin. In the imp, I got hints of the other notes, but once it hit my skin, it turned in to JASMINE!!!!!!. Now, all I smell is old lady perfume.

imp: super sweet apricot, yuck!

wet: apricot with a hint of warmth from the musk

dry: slightly floral with a hint of musk and a dash of apricot

 

Normally I don't like florals or fruits on me, but use them as room or car scents. This one is subtle enough on me that I can see myself wearing this as a Spring scent.

The description of this made it seem like the ideal scent for me. When it arrived, I was so disappointed. In the bottle, there was something that made my eyes water. The last 2 BPAL orders will filled with scents that I didn't like. I was ready to give up. Boy, am I glad I didn't.

Wet-PINE, screaming to the heavens. It was like I had gone swimming in Pine-sol. I thought about washing it off, but had to go pick up the kids.

Dry- it smoothed out and turned into the more heavenly incense scent, just like they use in my Greek church. So far, it has lasted several hours and I can't stop smelling my wrists.

I tried using a splash of it on a piece of cotton shoved into my car vents. I get nothing but the overwhelming pine scent. Not a good car scent.

In the bottle: this is a nice nice floral scent. I couldn't pick out any single note. I was hoping for a stronger honeysuckle.

wet: OMG! this smelled like little old lady perfume. The jasmine overpowered everything else. Within 10 minutes, I washed it off. It gave me a serious headache. I can't wait to get rid of this one.

This one was a frimp. I wouldn't have ordered this. It smelled super sweet in the bottle and not a thing like pom. I love to eat the fruit, but this smelled nothing like what I've eaten. On me, it was cloyingly sweet. I gave it to a friend and it smells completely different on her. It just didn't work with my chemistry.

This one smells like a lovely floral in the bottle, but doesn't work on my skin. The floral scent only is present when wet. As soon as it dries, it becomes very sweet. I don't care for this at all.

I've always been a HUGE fan of patchouli and this is no exception. This one is for patchouli fans who are looking for a variety that isn't "dirty hippie", but more like "cleaned up, hiding my hippie-ness" if that makes sense. If hubby didn't hate patchouli, I would wear this every day.

I'm not really into floral, overly feminine scents, but this one works for me. It reminds me a bit of White Linen without smelling like "old lady". A nice, clean, floral scent that might appeal to someone who normally doesn't like florals.

Oh, this has got to be the sexiest scent in the world! I want to bathe in this. Right before I discovered BPAL, I went on a new signature perfume search. I settled on Burberry for Women. I love Burberry for Women, but it has a chemical scent that I now know is common in all commercial, mainstream perfumes. To me, Morocco smells just like Burberry for Women without the chemical undertones. Spicey and musky, with a touch of warmth. Every time I wear this, I have to smack my husband around to keep him off of me.

This is the only BPAL scent I've tried that I have hated. In the bottle and on me, it smells like cheap hand soap. I immediately gave it to a friend who liked it. I couldn't wait to get rid of this.

This was a free one and the last of my recent imp order to try. I had smelled it in the bottle and didn't really care for it. It smelled too sweet and fruity to me. I always try each scent at least once before passing them on. Wow, am I glad I tried this one. Wet, it was too fruity and floral. Once dried, it became nice and spicey. This is now my second favorite, behind Morocco and pushed Snake Oil to number 3. Yum, yum, yum. I need me a big bottle of this!
