    Loosening of the Obi

    This is just stunning to me. I am not getting much from the rice wine but the sandalwood, vanilla beand and white musk are so feminine, soft, clean and just plain pretty. Make we want to wrap myself in a silk kimono after being covered in rice oil..feeling just naturally sensual and aware of every sense..this wears close to the skin and blends in with my skin chemistry so beautifully.

    Chaste Moon 2010

    I absolutely LOVE this blend: On me it is sweet milk, soft florals mixed with crystalline musk (LOVE crystalline musk like in "the girl"). This blend becons to spring while leaving in the chill of the winter. It is calming, creamy, delicate, so feminine, enticing, and completely wonderful! Good Lord I smell good!

    Shanghai

    This is such a beautiful, bright summery scent: On me the green tea note ( ) is primary and the lemon verbena combnes with the honeysuckle for a sweet, citrus note that smells incredible innocent yet heady and enticing. Clean, crisp, bright, beautiful with a combination that you cannot stop smelling.

    Burning Vulva

    This is spicy, fiery amber..very sexy with hints of leather, beeswax and orange blossom..not a lot of tonka but agree that I think this is going to just get better with aging. Very unique, undeniable, unexpected and unbearably spicy/ hot and sexy.

    Gypsy

    This scent totally embodies what a gypsy smells like: exotic, enticing, boho, mysterious, sensual and very sexy. Spiced up tonka vanilla (from the cardamom) topped with musk. This scent stays close to the skin and blends in (I agree very skin chemistry dependent). Spicy sweet musk LOVE!

    The Waltz of the Snowflakes

    Another Nutracker STUNNER..sweet, creamy, crystalline vanilla topped with evergreen. Evocative of a snowy walk in the woods with pine boughs covered in the prettiest and most delicate snowflakes. Gorgeous, memorable and unique..Beth's work at her best.

    Pink Mood

    This is a soft, feminine blend..so beautiful and delicate, graceful and fluid. Warm vanilla with florals..mostly the most amazing violet topped with anise that fades on the drydown. Medium throw and duration. So pretty..I can't stop huffing my wrists.

    Young Pine Saplings

    I am so in love with this one..INCREDIBLE..I think clove does it to me every time. Then combined with the ginger and cream it is sweet and spicy (my combo) gourmand...then to frost my cupcake I get hints of pine (OMG)..this is TDF..so sensuous..warm..enticing...with different levels that just build upon one another to make the perfect combo.

    Sugar Plum Fairy

    Oh, the dance that I used to watch as a little girl and the "star" perfomed in the ballet. Magical sugary plum sweetened with an amber-vanilla-musk..topped with delicate florals. Wears close to the skin so distant and yet so close to the skin..beautiful, surreal, dream-like and reminicent of the dreams little girls have.

    Boo

    This is probably in my top 3 of all time fave bpal. scents. My go to, comfort..wrap myself in the coziest, fluffiest blanket ever. This is creamy sugared vanilla with hints of cotton..with whifs of maple syrup. It blends in to the skin to make people around you wonder "what is that amazing smell"..cozy, unique, gourmand, sweet..this is the smell you just keep nuzzling your own arm to smell.

    Kiss Amongst Discarded Tissues

    This is so uplifting on a dreary, cold winter day. Sexy in a bright, fun, bubbly way. Lemon sugar with blackberries and flora from the gardenia. This reminds me of a beautiful afternoon with warm sun..on a walk..picking berries among fields of flowers. Innocently bright with undeliable throw that begs you to get closer.

    Tiki Princess

    Unlike snow white..this one did not need any aging for me. No plasticy notes at all. Just soft florals, delicate and feminine, lush and yet lucid. Topped with frothy, creamy coconut milk. This is just fantastic.will be huffing my wrists all night! Medium throw and great wear length.

    Olokun

    I don;t get the "melon" note that others mention in this one. I get sweet, green, fresh, herbally, aquatic ocean. reminds me of snorkeling and swimming in the ocean. Unisex for sure but is just so fresh and evokative of nature. One of the amazing things that Beth is able to do is to create fragrances that carry you to a place and elicits memories. I am such a water girl that I just love this one. Does not go "soapy" on me but stays true to the notes. Medium throw and wear length.

    Snake Oil

    When I fist bought this stuff I liked it but was not in love with it..a tad too intense for me. Almost 2 years later this has aged into the superlative of BPAL scents. It is THE sweet and spicy, creamy and musky, vanilla/ spice scent (with notes of woods). It is intoxicating, beyond sexy, mysterious, and evocative with it's hidden layers. It is most sensuous, confident, asseritve, beguiling, classy, "come hither" scent of all. In summation: Tantric. Nuf said.

    TKO

    This is my go to, relaxation oil. I have the massage oil and it is just incredible This is lavender (true lavender like the fields in Provence) with slight herbal notes just like the fields mixed with sugary/ french vanilla/ marshmallow. For some reason this oil always makes me sleep deeper and I wake up so refreshed in the morning. As a bonus the massage oil has the most fantastic texture and consistency and really melts into the skin, hydarting and scenting it just beautifully. This is one staple product I cannot do without and a bottle lasts forever. One of my top faves for sure!! The perfect relaxation massage oil.

    Anactoria

    The scent description does not match this scent to me..I get maybe the slightest hint of dragon's blood, but the first 3 descriptive terms that come to me are gorgeous, refined and elegant. This is a warm amber and golden musk. Not very sweet..exotic (I think the Arabian musk makes it so). Throw that you would notice standing close to someone but not across the room..a come hither scent. The honey sexes it up to balance the naughty-nice dichotomy. Not overtly in your face sexy..but more complicated and reverant..can't get enough of it. Yes..still huffing myself..the longer I wear it..it just blends in to your skin..amazing

    Candles Moon

    I happen to love the lab's milk note..for some reason blends really well with my skin chemistry and Beth's beewax note is TDF!! This scent on me (wears very close to the skin)..is blackberries covered with sweet sugary milk topped with a dash of cinnamon. Covered with melting warm beeswax. A combination I would never think of but somehow is just beautiful together. Warm, spicy, creamy, decadent..I just keep smelling my wrist.

    White Chocolate, Strawberry, and White Pepper Truffle

    Ok..let me justsay I am a chocolate dipped strswberry freak..I can eat loads of them..this is seriously a go to scent sometimes..non fakey strawberry (strawberry pectin/ coulis) with a decadent chocolate..I do not get much pepper..maybe just a hint of spice. Cremy and rich..want to lick my arm!

    Hod

    The description of the scent does not really speak about the perfume oil...this one was raved about so much I had to get it...all the other reviews are correct: creamy, spicy carnation..never though carnation would be a perfume note that I LOVE but OMG it is AMAZING..this warms into the skin morphing into a perfect cream-spice-floral that you cannot really tell what note is what but just "this smells incredible". Can see why this is such a beloved bpal scent.

    Cake Smash

    I ordered a couple bottles of this at the time and thank God I did..this is the SEXIEST dessert smell in the world..rich red vevlet chocolate cupcakes with creamy cream cheese frosting (I get the hints of lemon from the Dorian) and the spice from the snake oil OMG!!!! It make you want to take your arm and start eating it..so flipping good it is not fair to the other perfume oils..oh well..they will just have to stand in awe,

    Now Winter Nights Enlarge

    This blend is indication that BPAL has scents that you should not write off. This blend was way to much for me a year ago and the caramel note was burnt and a little off. This has aged and maybe I have grown in to the blend as well (or my skin chemistry changed) because this has got to be the SEXIEST smell I have ever smelled. I have only been brave enough to wear this twice and the reaction from people has been "OMG". Only Beth can bottle hot, sticky sex this way: the vanilla red musk (red musk apparently works for me) with the sticky honey and caramel with the nutmeg for a bit of edgt spice in unforgettable. This blend has lost a "off edge" but has matured in to this beyond..there are no words...blend; all the while retaining it's original personality (Stright up sexy, intense, intelligent, well- rounded, sweet, spicy, warm, and a little boho).

    Unveiled

    I really adore this blend..very artistic and well blended. The delicate , soft and layes nature of the blend reminds of sheer layers being pulled apart and then falling together in a perfect blend. The amber combined with the peach is what does it for me and the tea with fruit is just frosting on the cupcake. Feminine, elegant, harmonious and beautiful.

    Monarch

    It must be my skin chemistry because this on ROCKS on me..Beth's pumpkin note is always incredible and that combined with the ginger and amber with the kiss of fruit (mango/ mandarin) is absolutely incredible. I kick myself for not getting a back up of this..but that is the gift of Beth..she just keeps wowing you. TDF!!

    Snow White

    I had bought a bottle of this unsniffed last year based on the reviews..and id not like it due to the plasticy edge. I was told to age it and now I am in love with this. Creamy/ milky/ coconut/ vanilla / with florals. So gentle and feminine..exactly what a female should smell like in my opinion. Good throw and wear length..hovers close to the skin but with enough presence to call someone closer to smell you. Snowy and bright but so soft and warm and the same time!!

    Black Lace

    Black lace is my all time, go to sexy evening out scent. Elegant, classy, a little old world and refined yet heady and takes over the room. The smoky vanilla blended with tobacco, cognac and incense are topped off and perfectly blended with a deep sensual musk. What to wear when you are in a little black dress..killer heels and red lipstick (with black lace underneath of course). One of my top 10 Bpals.
