It's like the twinkling colored lights on a Christmas Tree.

Bright, sweet fruits with something vaguely kind of ozone.

Kind of a fun, sporty fruit scent.

I do not like ozone but I do like this. Want a bottle for sure.

Woody, green scent that approaches the feel of ozone with only brief flashes of the fruit.

I used to host a Pumpkin Carving party for my artist friends every year.... This is the perfume that captures that.

 

Carving fresh pumpkins into Jack O' Lantern's on a wooden butcher block table while drinking beer with cookies in the oven.

 

Thank heavens I escape the cucumber route others have mentioned.

 

A fun mash-up of notes and in that I put this in the novelty gourmand category along with Velvet Clown.

Full bodied, sexy and just a touch of dirty with a hint of spice coming from something I can't pinpoint. Perhaps the variety of orchid chosen.

This is sort of an extreme version of a skin scent. A stripped down version of Pallas Athene (one of my recent favorites).

Apparently you reach the very murky Waters of Oblivion by descending a path of opalescent stones and find them surrounded by dark, mysterious flowers.

Androgynous people mingling amidst swirls of purple fruit suspended in the air above them

The one word out of mouth upon applying this to my skin without sniffing it in the imp first was "No".

 

Actually, it was more like NO! Nononononono.

 

Dank, musty filthy Patchouli.

 

There have been miraculous BPAL perfumes where the Patchouli worked wonders on me. This is not one of them.

 

Just. No.

This is a beautiful, deceptively simple floral with a very brief, sharp bite to it. Evokes the name perfectly.

 

There is something that makes me think citrus and lavender. But I don't think either is actually in here. I don't know. But this ends up fascinating me.

 

There's more going on here then meets the nose.

Dark Alice said it for me "sweet, dark and delicious". Jonquil can be a heavy weight but everything else here keeps it absolutely in place.

This is the first BPAL Cherry perfume that has worked on me. It's so complex. LOTS of layering of notes here. I'm having a great time smelling it cause it keeps on getting more and more interesting and lovely.

 

Reminds me of making my own granola mix. And thus, by extension, Sleipnir.

Raw, dark sugar and a wild, musky version of coconut.

 

This definitely pushes all the right buttons for me.

Sweet creamy perfection. Get this one. You won't regret it.

This is a jumble of scents which matches the Shunga perfectly. Slightly sweet and juicy fruits with a hint of spice and smokiness.

This wafts off my skin giving an uplifting and energetic mood.

Definitely unisex in the best possible way. I read this as a casual, daytime scent.

Stunning. This is literally breathtaking. It was a complete wild card for me and I am so very happy to have a partial bottle.

 

The Esprit de Eucalyptus is ethereal. with just enough of the Blue Musk to keep it from floating away into nothingness. This is a cold breath of air from a muffled whisper, hovering in the netherworld just before it evaporates.

 

For me, it evokes the stories ending so completely and so beautifully. AND it smells divine.

 

I am over the Moon with this one.

This was a frimp with my Christmas Stocking from the Trading Post.

 

Only one year of Sugar Cookie ever worked on me. 2005.

 

This is like that with an extra dash of Cinnamon which for some reason doesn't overwhelm the way it usually does.

 

I think it's the Eggnog keeping it from being dominant.

 

This really delivers exactly what it's name promises.

 

So if you like the Lab's foodie blends, this almost certainly is worth a try.

Spice bread.

The Ginger is somewhat biting at first but it does mellow out.

The Honey is rather sedate ... and it might be my imagination but it seems to me to have a slight floral bouquet to it.

It's like O and Gingerbread Poppet had a baby.

Ultimately like O, this ends up a skin scent rather than a more emotive Gingerbread Poppet.

Rum and.... Vanilla Mint?

It's Rum and something gently sweet and cool like mint/pine. The Rum isn't too strong in this. Nor is that "cold snow" note.

It's very evocative and I suspect it will work on a lot of people.

This smells EXACTLY like a Raspberry Thumbprint Cookie.

Or, in my case, Heaven.

That is all.

More Puddin from Puddin!

This is less alcoholic than the Plum Puddin but it still has a strong smell of spirits.

More depth and also a bit more tart than it's sister scent from the Trading Post.

 

 

Plum Puddin from Puddin!

 

The alcohol is strong in this one. Even for me... my skin usually burns it off.

 

This is more reminiscent of Raisin Liqueur or Rum Raisin Ice Cream... with spice.

 

Happy and festive. Shockingly less foodie than I thought it'd be. I'd layer this with something like Mitzvah or Beaver Moon.

The smoothest, deepest sexiest combination I've tried in a long time.

 

Not getting that Matcha blast others mention.

 

My skin chemistry goes right to the Resin and Patchouli and Leather.

 

And Patchouli and Leather are highly problematic notes for me.

 

But this and The Ta-Ta are the epitome of soft, supple Leather.

 

So glad I took a chance, this will only become more outrageously wonderful with time.

 

The only reservation I have is it's decidedly unisex. Not masculine, unisex. I don't have a boy to give this to.

I don't get blazing hot.

 

I get glowing hot. Vibrating warmth hot. Golden not Red hot.

 

I get a restrained warmth from the Gingergrass a juicy lushness from Blood Orange along with the Fruity/Candy vibe Capricorn Sister gets.

Perky, bright without being blinding or hot. A touch youthful without being infantile or girly. I think this is because the Vanilla is restrained and the White Patchouli gives it a more earthy base.

 

So far, after many years of not doing well w/ Anniversary blends, I'm getting lots of lovely successes.

 

Rosewood & Dark Musk front and center, which works for me.

I do not get the usual Jasmine rush nor the sweet kiss of honeysuckle. They both seem to be mellowing out with the Orris.

This is a deep, inwards scent. Again, captures mood intended very well.

I think many BPAL lovers who shy away from florals should definitely give this one a whirl.

 

 

Slightly herbal, slightly floral, slightly pungent. A laid back sort of sexy.

All mixed together seamlessly for a quiet, almost meditative quality. Captures the time of day perfectly.

This also suits me immensely well.

Gorgeous artwork on the label.
