how doth the little crocodile is awesome

 

Yup. That's the only one I could think of. It is really nice! A very interesting blend. Like minty chocolate pistachio

Ok so this isn't GC, but for those of you mourning the loss of Fairy Market, Midwinters Eve is a DEAD RINGER to me

Of course, I don't know about this years blend, but when I tried fairy market, all I could think of was Midwinter's Eve

For me, The Unsteady Governess, after morphing a million times, is a nice soft delicate violet blend. It really is lovely, tho very soft. It is more like. ahhhhh violet, rather than BAM I'M VIOLET AAARRRGGGG!!!!

Just got an imp of Windward Passage, and it is veeeeery aquatic. Her description is-Breezes blowing off of the waters of the Caribbean: marine accord, seaweed, and bladderwrack.

This smells EXACTLY like SOBO on me.....and I love it!!!

NYCC exclusives:

 

:reviews: Please!

This is sweet! Literally and figuratively LOL The packaging is adorable!

This is definitely a lighter scent than any other BPTP bath oils I have tried.

I smell like candy!

The apple is a crisp green apple, and the lemon drop is totally lemon drop candy.

The tart apple is sweetened by the lemony sugar of the lemon drops.

The scent stays close to the skin, but it is very girly and fresh. It is perfect for spring and summer, so i probably won't use it again until then, but I can't wait!

FYI I used this as an after bath moisturizer, so YMMV if you use it as a traditional bath oil

Is there a BPAL blend that smalls like Aquolina Pink Sugar?

I have not been able to find it here I live, and I can't really have it shipped because I am in Europe. I haven't smelled it, but all the reviews i have read sound amazing. I have Plastic Pink Flamingo, but I am looking for something a little.....more.

Any suggestions?

So, I am sitting here adding items to my cart, and I am on the Lab's site reading through every description of every scent looking for vanilla/sugar and violet.

That is all I want to smell like.

I remember reading in the Neil Gaimen section that one has vanilla, violet, and something else, but reading the reviews, most ppl are getting mainly violet.

I am still reading over the Lab's descriptions, but can someone tell me if there is a scent that matches my needs?

I am trying to find one quickly, since I have broken down and decided to get a bottle of Lillith's Tea Party, and this scent comes down soon.

Does this scent even exist? LOL

Samhain 2010

The red apple really stands out in this years blend. The fir needle is not far behind, and the damp woods really makes it fresh. Smells like if you were in a deep forest, and came upon a singe red apple tree in a clearing being warmed by the sun. You pick an apple, take a bite, and inhale the sweetness of the apple amongst the dew freshened fir trees. The patchouli is ever so gently there, but it's not OHAI I AM PATCHOULI FEAR ME

It is soft and gentle

 

A truly beautiful blend!!

Eep first to review!
Ok so this is GORGEOUS!!!!!! I may have to get another bottle
It is nutty, with a tough of sweetness, and a pinch of spice.
This smells exactly like a candied nut stand you walk by during Christmas- the nuts are warm with a touch of cinnamon and sugar.
Ok yeah. The more I smell this, the more I KNOW this is one to hoard!!!

O.....MG!!!!

So, I finally caved and bought a bottle of CC Female

OOOOHHHHH

This is vanilla and leather, sweetened by the tonka, methinks, and amber. This is MY DREAM SCENT!!!!

Blended perfectly, and oh so sweet without being at all cloying. It is so feminine and......AWESOME!!!!!!!

And it is one of those scents you KNOW is going to age GORGEOUSLY!!!!!!

total

 

And as a side note- the sticker on the box was so adorable! It is a pic of a steampunk lady pilot an it says "this box delivered priority by airship"....or something to that effect LOL. I ripped the box open in the post office parking lot, and the box is sitting in my car, so I couldn't tell you what the sticker said verbatim....but it was so neat! I tried to take it off the box to save it, but it ripped

 

So, to review, I give this scent-

 

73

44

67

22

and 933 - just because it is sooooo sexy!!!

Pruno?

I have a bottle coming to me, and based on the notes, it sounds interesting, but for all I know, it smells like straight heinz 57 LOL

Can anyone recommend a good BPAL brown sugar scent?

I know one of the moths or butterflies had brown sugar, but it also had sassafrass, a scent I do not particularly care for. Any help would be awesome!

Ok, so this is going to sound really harsh, and reading all of your reviews on it totally shocks me LOL

In the bottle- To be honest, it smelled like someone took a shot of whiskey, threw in a splash of worshteshire sauce, then put out a cpl cigarettes in it. Waited about a week, bottled it, then sent it off to me

I don't get any of the sticky sweetness any of you are getting.

On the skin.....it's not terrible....it's just......weird! I have placed it in the back of my box and I am forgetting about it for a few months. Something makes me think that this has total potential. It just may take a while. I SO want this scent to be loverly!

When reading the description, I somehow imagined it to be this-

laudinum- dunno...maybe a chemically odd yet awesome smell

booze- cognac

tobacco- tobacco leaves, which gives me vanilla. When I first got it and smelled it, I was sooooo sad, but when I get home, I will be retesting this. I am prepared to wait for years on this one LOL

I was able to get to DarkDel a few days ago. One of the scent I tried was Fairy Market. This smelled so damn familiar to me, and it took me an hour to think of that it reminded me of.

Answer-

Fairy Market smelled a whole lot like Midwinter's Eve on me

A tad subtler, but Midwinter's Eve, nonetheless!

In the bottle- pure grapefruit candy. Seriously, I wanna drink this

Wet- the grapefruit goes away as soon as it touched my skin. This one was a definite morpher. At first, it totally disappears. Then, pure sweet pea. About a half an hour later, the berries come out. It smells like sweet pea and raspberry!

After about an hour and a half, it is all sugar! *kind of* like PPF, but not as "pink". A mix of the candyfloss and sugar, but I never really got rose at all. Definitely a mix of the berries, and the sugars. Maybe the berries with the lemon led me to smell grapefruit.

This one stays close to the skin for sure, but it is soooooo gooooooood!!!!!!

THIS is exactly what I had hoped it would be! To be honest, the musk note had me worried. I DO NOT LIKE MUSK!!! And I seem to amp it because anything with a white, red, or whatever musk smells like straight musk on me. But this is sooooo goooodddd!!!!!

The Egyptian musk is there, oh yes it is, but with all the other sweet notes, the only thing the musk provides is a warm background for the sweet notes to heat up on. Sugar, bourbon vanilla, tonka, sugar.....only got the cardamom in the bottle and when wet, then it bowed out to let the other notes have a chance to shine.

It is *almost* like amber and bourbon vanilla, tho I think that is the warm musk and tonka that are fooling my nose. Kinda smells like brown sugar too?

I am not sure how the throw is because I only have a touch on one of my wrists atm because I am testing a few scents out, and I think this one will probably fade fast....lucky a scent locket wanted to party with my last order and just happened to jump in!

I LOOOOOVE IT SO!

Cheshire Cat and Rosy Maple Moth would be good ones, I think!

Azien Myoo too!!!

In the bottle- BAKERY YESSSSS!!!!

Wet- Lemon cookies....oooohhh!!!!

drydown- still lemon cookies, vanilla comes through a bit. Something...different...lurking in the background. It is nothing like the other cents, not foodie at all, but it is nice!

Vanilla Chaos #169

This thing came full to the top!!

In the bottle-sweet candy vanilla with a strong wood smell

wet- oh gawd! Pine trees! Not fun!

drydown- it takes a while, but the pine fades into the background. Oh....Oh...the vanilla is back yay!!!!!

As it dries more...is that a touch of tobacco?

 

Final verdict- Vanilla becomes more the prominent note, but the pine and tobacco (I think LOL) are there to make it not smell like straight up vanilla.

I have on clue what is in here LOL. Vanilla, pine, tobacco, maybe a touch of booze? I like it, but it definitely needs aging!

 

For an atmospheric spray, if you are interested, my bottle of Cathouse smelled like major magnolia. You may want to check it out!

Well, in the bottle and for the first 10 minutes or so on my skin, this smelled exactly as the notes listed, but all wrapped up in one of those cheap plastic pool donuts (maybe like a plastic pin flimingo would smell LOL). I was so sad UNTIL the drydown was complete, and it went straight to pink sugar. YUM!!!! It lasts for a good bit- maybe a few hours, but not much throw. Tho it is pink sugar, it is more of a mature smell, and less like shockingly sweet pink rock sugar. Very wearable, and I am so glad to own a bottle!

K, this one is reeeeally weird on me. I don't get the molasses, or the honey, or any of the other notes. To me, this smells exactly like the earl grey tea with bergamot I had this morning. In the bottle, I really get the creamy honey vanilla, but on my skin this turns into something completely different. The imp is definitely a keeper, as I do like it, and I can't wait to retest once it ages a bit to see if it smells like it should LOL

 

ETA_- ok so an hour and a half later, the bergamot, citrus note has faded, and now it smells like a cup of tea with cream and sugar...so.....weird...but I LOVE it!!

I was hoping to get more orange and cherry lollipops, but....

in the bottle- pink bubblegum

wet- pink bubblegum

drydown- pink bubblegum still fresh with a dusting or cornstarch *sigh*
