    #20 Love Oil

    I was really excited to try this blend. I really liked the concept, and in reading the reviews I hoped that I couldn't be one of the ones that got nothing but rose. No. Unfortunately, it fades down from a sharp green herbal to nothing but cloying rose. As it's fading it's not too bad, there's a balance between all the herbs that I get in the imp and all the rose. After it dries down though, all I get is a really intense cleaning product rose scent. I think that this can be a real love/hate blend, but on me, I have the same air freshener effect that I get from a lot of the herbal/rose blends.

    Eve

    I don't think that Eve and I are going to get along at all. Rose is the only note that I can ever consistently pick out, because I apparently amp it like mad. In the bottle it's very green, and sharp. I'm guessing that it's the apple blossom? I do get something creamy underneath and a faint sweetness, which I'm assuming is the honey. Immediately on, all I get is green and rose. A LOT of green and rose, that just calms down to that rose smell that they use in air fresheners. Powdery, fake rose. This one's going to go on the swap pile.

    Dee

    I love this scent! I agree with other reviews that this reminds me of a library, in all the best ways. It's a complex blend on me. It often smells smoky and piney in a good way, but I can pick out incense and leather as well. It's my current favorite go to blend, as it's heavy without being cloying and it's not too masculine.

    I want a BPAL that smells like Bath & Body Works...

    Hi! My boyfriend announced last night that whatever I was wearing was the first perfume that I've worn for a long time that he actually likes on me. All I was wearing was Bath and Body Works Winter (a limited holiday scent only available in soap, lotion, and home scents) hand soap. The notes are described as pine,bay leaf, cinnamon and warm woods (i'm guessing resins of some sort but i'm horrible with notes so I could be completely off base here). It smells straight up spicy and warm in the jar but on me it smells a lot sweeter- almost citrusy and it reminds me of mulling spice. Someone suggested snow moon and fearful pleasure. I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas? I'd like to get something that I can get on a more frequent basis than the BBW stuff, and frankly I'd just prefer BPAL!
