I adore pumpkin, but the lab's pumpkin usually is horrid on me. I'm glad I risked it and picked this up anyway. This is a very warm, cosy scent. I had to try it with my love of creamy vanilla scents.

I want to love this scent so much I keep buying decants, forgetting that it just doesn't like me. Things are just dandy in the decant. It is floral, but not in a whack you in the face, fragrance counter kind of way. Then after skin contact everything goes awry, and I'm guessing it is the fault of either violet leaf or narcissus. I have an ongoing love affair with all orris fragrances. Madagascar vanilla, wonderful. Either narcissus or the violet leaf violently hate me. Such a pity.

This is the most magnificent out of all of the Lupers I've tried so far. My goodness, I want to sit around and huff myself all day. It is delightful, but not overwhelming. Fruity, but not reminiscent of a middle school locker room. I love it, and yet also hate it because my bank account is going to be crying soon.

I've had an interesting habit of just grabbing an imp out of my scents left to try and trying it blind, as I tend to forget the notes in each scent I have purchased. Today this went very, very wrong. My skin chemistry and this blend refuse to cooperate. Elf turns into old cat lady on me. I don't know how, but it is like they bottled this annoying old woman and then rubbed her on me. It will not disappear either. I have literally scrubbed at the one wrist I dabbed it on to sample with a sublime soap and it just refuses to budge.

When I was in high school and found bpal it could occasionally be a balancing act between work and school. A few of my personal favorites that work well around most people that I remember offhand are Titania, Sea of Glass, Elegba, and Love-In-Idleness and Sassafras Streghthener or whatever it is called. I'd also like to second Boo, and basically anything inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

Something went very much wrong with this on me. It might have a note in common with Punkie Night of all things, which similarly went bad with me.

A surprisingly quick fade on me, leaving me with a smell reminiscent of cleaner.

I find Obatala to be a lovely everyday scent. The shea makes the coconut less tropical party than many scents that contain coconut. It is one of my go-to daily perfumes for, and I only recalled that I didn't review it at all after a co-worker commented on it the other day. On me it is rather soft and is one of the less recognizable of my favorite BPAL fragrances. Obatala is one of my more light, fluffy, feminine fragrances and I love it.

I'm glad I was frimped this, because it is not in the first hundred BPAL scents I would be interested in, but it is very nice. It starts out rather minty. After a few minutes, the mint basically disappears on my skin, and I think I amp oakmoss all the time if I remember correctly. Cathode smells like the personality a very chill, moss-covered hippie tree cartoon that has a fondness for mint tea. It just smells good and earthy, not rah! in your face. It's very gender-neutral. It smells clean without appearing to be trying to smell clean. It makes me feel like someone wearing it would be fresh and clean in an easygoing way, rather than a Clorox wipes on the kitchen table kind of way like me. If I had a boyfriend right now he would probably find himself slathered in this.

I wore this today, and came here with the intention of stating ironically joking that I was attacked by two bugs on the way to work today. Directly after clicking and browsing through the reviews, I remembered that my male coworker randomly bought me a cookie and then ice cream while I was wearing this, which I originally took as an way of apologizing for a recent argument without actually saying sorry. Now I'm wondering if it had more to do with the way I smelled.

Having high hopes for this, I am slightly worried about my result. I don't know what happened but this blend hates me. I will have to try it again one more time in a week or so to see if we will get along better later.

At first this smells entirely like apple on my skill, but after a while I begin to smell more lemon balm and rose. It is very springy, the brightest and most playful of all of the decants that I purchased this time around.

In Imp: A light floral with a bit of sharpness over a base of honey. The oil is a pale, pale yellow. Wet: Very sweet and simple, the honey and tonka take over and the flowers act as a sort of spice to the sweetness. Drydown: It is very sweet and innocent. After a few hours in congeals into one sweet scent. Buy again? An imp, maybe. Reminds me of honey, spring, youthful brightness. Overall: It is a nice scent appropriate for all ages. Idleness and Mischief would probably be one of the perfumes to grab when trying to be inoffensive with your fragrance.

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this yet. On me it smells like spicy fruit. I have yet to find the chrysanthemum because the carnation has taken over, but the plum peeks its head through now and again. Sexyspicyplum=Amazing!

In the imp: CHERRY BLOSSOM..... and orris. Wet: cherry blossom baby power? Dry: Powder. Just powder. I'll probably keep the imp, but I'm not seeing a bottle in the future.

Wet: Hi, we're florals and we're here to take over your skin. Floral-fruit with an undertone of coconut. I reminds me of Titania with a little bit of coconut underneath. Dry: Coconut-ish powder and sugar with a little of the fruity floral still. Very comfy smelling. I kind of want to buy a bottle and hide it away for weddings, because it smells like a perfect wedding scent. Calm and comfortable, but still very pretty.

In the imp: Yummy butterscotch chocolate with a hint of ginger. On my skin: Butterscotch. Pure butterscotch. why, skin chemistry, why?

On me, this starts out as a cakey-porridge scent and then the orange starts to grow and grow, eventually smelling exactly like this walnut-orange juice bundt cake my cousin brings every year to Thanksgiving dinner. I really wish I had the recipe right now, because I want to eat my arm.

... Her perfume is a crush of Irish herbs and flowers, Gaelic mists, and nighttime dew. So, this is one of the few bpal scents I can honestly say I hate. It reminds me of White Shoulders, which reminds me of my mother, which prompts me to give it to her. Well, at least I got a gift idea out of it.

In the imp: Bread, butter, sugar On me: I just got sugared butter, which smells okay. It makes me want to sleep though, for some reason. Probably because it smells very cozy.

In the bottle: Delicious. On me: Strawberry Chapstick. Seriously. I usually have great chemistry for most scents, but Snake Oil just doesn't agree with me. Edit: It smells like the the chapstick from the chapstick brand, not the stuff that smells like strawberries.

I got this with the anticipation that the sandalwood was going to amp on me and I was going to smell like an cheap incense store. Much to my delight, it stayed light and creamy, and I could not stop smelling myself. The sweet pea was barely there, after the drydown, but it has a very short life on me.
