This is beautiful!

 

Coconut,almond, honey and fig. This manages to be summery, exotic and comforting and snuggly at the same time.

 

I may need a big bottle.

Initially this is a very similar wet, fresh rose to London on me. After a few hours it's tempered by the narcissus.

 

It's a lovely rose scent and I will keep and use the imp but I don't need a bottle.

Oh wow. Honey, wine, plum, tonka - what an intoxicating blend. Big bottle required! I also think this would be gorgeous on my boy.

From the description I thought this was going to be amazing...sadly it's just a nondescript soapy floral on me.

Initially this is a real blast of strong, sweet citrus on me. After a few moments a strange (and not very pleasant) note comes through that I can't identify before the scent settles and the honey/rose comes out.

It's a lovely fragrance but not unique enough for me to *need* a big bottle.

Holy wow! This is STUNNING. Big bottle required.

 

Wine, honey and spice from the myrrh. Almost no morph on me at all and boy does it last. I absolutely adore this!

This is almost all rose on me with a very slight touch of leather. Throw and staying power are average for me. I think I prefer the rose scent i get from London above this. I'll be keeping my imp but I doubt I'll need a bottle.

On my boy this is smokey cedarwood and vetvier. I quite like it's woody quality on him but he says it makes him smell like BBQ sauce...so I guess we're going to skip the big bottle!

This is beautiful. Out of the imp I get the wine and rum notes. When applied the tonka, tobacco and leather come out to make this a beautiful, smooth, creamy spicy scent. It's feminine and comfortable but with the right note of danger.

 

The leather in this suits me so much better than De Sade. This lasts on me quite nicely too.

 

I need a 5ml of this ASAP. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

Yum. Chocolate. It reminds me of chocolate topping rather than chocolate itself. Super strong in the imp and has nice throw and staying power on me. Looking forward to trying this out on the boy

This is extremely light, fresh and pretty.

I get a lovely light floral, a green grass note and of course the aquatic note.

Staying power on me is average and it's a very light scent for me with not a lot of throw.

It really is gorgeous, a perfect light, cooling perfume for spring or summer days.

OM NOM NOM...bottle required!

 

This is a really strong pure marshmallow/vanilla essence type vanilla from the imp and goes on pretty much the same. Utra foody, sweet and delicious

 

Medium throw and staying power on me too

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

Out of the imp this has a super strong grandfathers linament type smell with some apple underneath.

 

This overpowering linament scent continues until it drys down on the skin..

 

Then I get a weak apple scent for an hour or two..

 

Then gone!

 

Damn! I was really hoping this was going to work out for me given the notes and how loved it seems to be.

I can see why this is so popular.

 

I have no idea how aged my bottle is as I got it from a forum sale...however...Yum.

 

From the bottle it's just an interesting mix of spices.

 

On though.. delicious! Lovely, soft vanilla with the wonderful spices coming through to give it a mysterious smoky depth.

 

Excellent throw and staying power too.

I have a real sweet tooth....and this just smells YUMMY.

 

I would say this is the strongest BPAL scent I own. Lots of throw and staying power even with very light application.

 

It's not much of a morpher on me. It goes on as an intense, slightly burnt caramel with some cinnamon and cocoa and stays that way...for hours and hours.

 

For me this is a definite keeper

This is a gorgeous round, sweet, creamy ginger...but it so SO VERY insubstantial, even when slathered.

 

A beautiful scent but so light and lacking in lasting power

I got this as a frimp and will be getting a bottle.

 

On me it's a beautiful golden sparkling pear. Fresh, feminine and summery.

Yet another rec for London here. To me this is a very crisp, juicy pure rose scent. Like a fresh cut bunch of roses w/ stems and foliage intact.

On me this was pretty much pure cedarwood. The imp will likely go off to swaps but I am going to give it a chance on my boy first.

 

Edit: Have now tried it on the boy. He says it makes him smell like pencil shavings...although I have to say I quite like it on him.

Initially this reminded me of AP's Maitresse. After a few wears I now think it's way better.

 

From the bottle and wet it's a balanced floral - I can smell jasmine, rose and neroli. The mandarin provides a soft citrus edge.

 

As it dries down the musk comes out to play giving the florals a very sexy edge.

 

I get average staying power and throw from this blend.

 

I'm very glad to have a 5ml of this. It's very sexy and feminine.

Morgause...for me it yells and jumps around and does a little dance singing "I'm PURPLE! So Purple! Oh YES I AM PURPLE.."

This is a single note rose scent on me. Very fresh and juicy like a bunch of red roses JUST cut from the bush.

 

It's not really ME as such but I can see it working with certain outfits/moods/situations.

I really like this!

 

Wet it's super maraschino cherry but as it dries down a metallic copper note comes out that is very reminiscent of real blood. As it dries down you get the clove and myrrh coming to the fore with a soft sweetness leftover from the cherry.

 

Very impressed with that metallic copper note. It ads a realism to the fragrance that justifies it's name..but of course the other notes make it wearable and enjoyable.

 

After wearing this all day I have to say I LOVE it..but not in an entirely pure way. The sadist in me was a little too overexcited by that true copper blood note..

 

Lasting power was excellent on this blend too.

This goes on woodsy with a very sharp, greenish note and drys down on me to incense/wood.

 

It's not really me and I don't think I will enjoy it on my boy either so off to swaps it goes.

Anyone know of anything that smells like Agent Provocateur's "Maitresse" or Coco Chanel?

 

Rapture reminds me of Maitresse
