  1. Wow, yes, rose. I really do like rose although I don't wear rose notes all that much. This rose has something cool about it. Like eviltemptressdq said, it isn't as heavy as the peacock queen, but it is that type of a rose scent, if that makes any sense. Hmm. I really should start wearing more rose.

     

    ETA: It goes much sweeter later on.


  2. This turned out much darker than I expected. At first it was fruity floral, Then when dry it went to a deep fruit with not much floral. There is a hint of christmas candles in there. I think it might be the plum. Something like a spiced plum candle. Not bad, but there are others in this kind of category that I prefer.


  3. Three white cakes, vanilla, and red and black currants.

     

    This reminds me a bit of the Monster Baits in general. It's creamy and foody and very tasty in the imp. However, like just about every other vanilla oil from bpal I've tried it goes really weird and awful. boo!


  4. Wow. This is an interesting one. It's a bit like candy in the imp. But changes on my skin. It's fruity and a little tart. But not especially juicy fruity. Does that make sense? I get all of the notes mentioned except the patchouli. I think the patchouli is drying it down a bit. I like it.


  5. This is such a crazy and yummy blend. At first there are a lot of weird combos coming out. Then as it dries it goes super sugary. This is actually a bpal oil that really does smell like marshmallows. It is like a big marshmallow with vanilla frosting all over it.

    The really weird thing is that usually if there is vanilla, it goes completely weird and burning plastic on my skin. This never happened with this one.

     

    You will get a cavity from this oil and love every moment of it.


  6. This goes on very fruity and sweet. It has some powder notes in here too. That might be the heliotrope on my skin. There's also something that reminds me of fruity tea. Overall, not bad. I can't believe it took me so long to try it.


  7. While wet I get a lot of the birch in this one. Birch with a tiny hint of flowers. It is very cool smelling. On my skin, it changes sooooooo much. It kind of smells old on my skin. Musty and weird.

     

    Cute roommate review: I don't like it, but it's better than that one (baneberry). It smells like pickles. Musty pickles.

     

    :P


  8. I keep getting sweet fruit whiffs of this when I move my arm. I like this one. There is something sort of vanilla or foody in there, but I don't think it's vanilla since it isn't going weird on me. Definitely fruity, dark berry.

     

    Cute roommate review: I don't like it. Powdery


  9. At first it is cocoa, and spices and a bit of dry wood or perhaps earth. Then as it dried it got a bit drier and the cocoa went away. It was a very warm type of spices almost peppery. I never got much floral or leather from it. I wish the cocoa stayed on my skin. Oh well.

     

    Cute roommate one word review: spice


  10. I am so happy that the civet doesn't take over on this one. Civet is usually too heavy and strong for me. This is an interesting scent and I don't think I've smelled any other BPAL oil like this. It's more sagey when wet. Once it dries though it goes kind of cereal on me. Whole wheat cereal. The healthy, good for you adult cereal, not the sugary kid stuff. odd :P


  11. Well there is vanilla in this. And yes, the vanilla took over, turned to weird plastic, and then ruined it. When it's not on my skin, it's nice. It's very sweet and melony and juicy.


  12. This is definitely floral, but the rose doesn't stand out at all. It is very very light. At first the tea notes are kind of tangy, but they mellow out a lot when it dries. It fades very quickly on my skin. It's pretty and light, but not quite for me.


  13. Uncontrollable passion and insatiable sexual desire: red musk, patchouli, ylang ylang and myrrh.


    I love how this smells in the imp and when it's wet on my skin. It is sweet and heavy and resinous. But when it dries on my skin, it turns kind of boring. My skin soaks up all the interest.
