    In the imp this smells like amazing cakey goodness and wet on the skin it's pretty much the same. I can see why some are saying it smells like chai too. It reminds me of a cake I made a little while back which had cinnamon syrup for the filling and topping (yeah, I like cinnamon alot =]). So yeah, it's foody, spicy, and just overall yummy! Should have got a bottle!

    B-Horror

    I was excited to try this one out as I have a love for low budget horrors, they're just super fun! Like many others, I too was intrigued by the peanut butter note, plus all the notes, sounded so yummy in the description. So, here goes: In the bottle: Hmm, smells very sharp, boozy and milk chocolaty. Wet on skin: There's the peanut butter! Along with a kind of toasted marshmallow kind of smell and still boozy/chocolatey, still very sharp. Kind of reminds me of how Baileys smells. Later on: Okay, this smells a little big grassy on me (?) and a little like nail varnish remover with a hint of chocolate in the background. *sigh* sadly B-horror isn't for me

    In imp: mm, smells sort of boozy, peanutty with spice in the background Wet: Mainly boozy and spicy, like a nice rum with cherries and peanuts in the background. Drying: The nuttiness is fading, leaving just a sort of spicy, rum, cherry smell. I'm starting to get a hit of clove too.This is really interesting. Later on: alot of the initial notes have faded completely it's smells kind of metallic which is weird with clove coming in quite strongly. This is a very, very masculine scent, won't opt for a full bottle. Oddly enough it reminds of friend of mine, you know how everyone has their own natural scent? His was kind of like this when it's totally dry. Anyways, I enjoyed the first few minutes of it the most, just a shame all those nice notes faded so much, it smells quite coppery one it's dry, though I guess thats just my skin chemistry. Will give this another try at some point and hope for less of a metallic scent. ***** couple of days later and I really really like this now!! The metallic thing was just a one time thing it seems =]

    Meliai

    in imp: I'm getting a very green scent, can really smell that pine freshness, just hope it loses that air-freshener/ cleaning product edge when it's on the skin. Wet on skin: still very piney and strong. It still smells of cleaning products to me slightly with a little sweetness creeping in. Drydown Yay =] it's mellowing out and I'm getting the honey come through, still a very clean scent but in a more natural, green way. Dry: Im liking this a lot more , the honey has really come through now, and it smells almost exactly like the Orange Blossom Honey I had a couple of weeks ago and also a little like the Organic Sleep Easy herbal tea I have with an added spoon of honey. There are also citrus and floral notes in the background. Overall, this is a pleasant, smooth, fresh, sweet, feminine blend. Not the kind of thing I would usually go for, don't think I'll go for a bottle, but it's proven to be really quite nice.

    Pumpkin III (2009)

    This is the first of BPAL's pumpkin scent I've tried, really wanted to like this one but unfortunately I haven't had such a great experience with it. In the bottle: Woah. This is a little bit frightening, the tomato really hits you in the face. Along with something sharp, sweet and almost herbal and fruity. Wet: Probably shouldn't have tried this on first thing in the morning, it's making me feel a little woozy. My skin seems to be amping the tomato and rosemary like crazy, this is very sharp/tangy and I can't really smell any pumpkin at all, I'm still getting that odd fruitiness. Drydown: It's losing a little of the sharpness, and I'm getting some fir and a sort of vegatble note creeping through now, just want the tomato to back down a little bit. Later on: Thankfully this one has mellowed out quite alot. The smell is totally reminiscent of a garden with tomato and fruit trees. There's fir and botanical notes in the background and I think the pumpkin is timidly lurking in the background. Overall, this is a very unique blend, I was expecting to smell more pumpkin and less of a strange, tangy fruity smell. But after the scary drydown this isn't too bad, very much a garden scent.
