This one me was a very powdery and headache inducing dusty light cherry. But not really cherry. Not sure how to describe it but I didn't really like it. If it has dragon's blood in it I did not get that at all. It faded fast luckily because I wasn't feeling it sadly.

It was a while ago I had tested this one but I remember it was mostly cinnamon on me with a little marshmallow in the background. It was delicious but I wanted more marshmallow!! The throw was decent and it lasted pretty long though.

Wow can't believe I didn't review this one yet. I think I thought I already had. Well this definitely is one of my favorite GC scents. I've gone through a couple bottles already! Sadly I didn't get the HG but anyway... This is a delicious scent. It's got an amazing vanilla note!! Very sweet and almost foodie BUT the dragon's blood keeps it spicy and sexy and adds more depth. I don't get much honey. Just a sexy spicy vanilla scent that I adore!! It also has great throw and lasts on the skin! Simple perfection!
-
The oakmoss and patchouli on this one are definitely the strongest notes. The oakmoss being the strongest. That is what you get when wet and sniffing the bottle. On the dry down though the clove and pumpkin peek out and make it less oakmossy. Very dark and sexy scent.

I've gotten all goat cream and rice! It's weird there's absolutely no cherry!! I wouldn't even say it's rice pudding because it's not sweet at all. It's more savory.

After reading through I think you should try... Katrina Van Tassel (HTF) The Vine Son of biggerCritters Strawberry Moon Pink Moon Beaver Moon 2011 Those are just the first ones that came to my mind! -
Well this scent is pretty much identical to my original Banshee Beat bottle. If I really think about it and compare it might have the tiniest bit more patchouli and hemp over vanilla. But I could be overthinking it. Overall it's the same thing. So glad I was able to snag my beloved. The label is the same, for some reason I thought it would say OG BB, but no big deal.

So Ooky was a bit of heartbreaker for me. When I first got it the buttercream, lemon, and pumpkin were all delicious and played well together...it was awesome! BUT after aging a year or so this turned into all CINNAMON on me. I heard this happen to others but it was the first time it happened to me. So it was just all cinnamon and the sad thing was it was a sad cinnamon. Where did all the yumminess go?! Also the label weirdly creeped me out too. lol

This is simply BPAL's yummy Eggnog scent with a touch of coffee. It was delicious and mouthwatering when applied, but sadly once it dried on my skin it disapeared! Regular Eggnog didn't last on my skin either so I guess it was the same with this one. I really love the spices in BPAL's Eggnog scents I just wish they lasted longer and had some throw.
-
Mine was the 2009 I believe... I had hoped for JELLY! But sadly I got all port and it was bitter. Too bad. Swapped away! Cute label though!

The whiskey and apple cider are what I smell in the bottle. On the skin it has more of a cake and strong whiskey scent and the apple fades away a little, which is ok with me. This scent is very different and I can't help but think it's a more grown up foodie scent. I picture a sassy woman who loves her whiskey and eats cake when she is drunk. Not sure what I'm saying...maybe i've done too many reviews today! LOL But I do love it! Haha UPDATE: After aging a while the apple has gotten stronger and the cake lighter. May have to let this go since apple isn't the best scent on my skin I've realized.

Starts off as yummy Runts type candy banana and whipped cream. And I love this part! But as it dries down the blood and grease are what lingers and that sucks. The banana is so good I wish it stuck around. After a half hour I'm wearing a grease/metal/blood scent and that's not me lol
-
It starts off as delicious bananas foster scent when wet. I love this banana though it's one of the best I've ever smelled. I like it better then Splatter Comedy's banana (loved that but hated the metal/grease note). When it dries down the incense scent comes out and is so gorgeous! It starts sweet and then turns sexy at this point. I do smell a little bit of Dorian too which is a nice addition. This is unique and special. The throw is good too.
-
The scent of chicory coffee (au lait!) and sugared pastries. This is a slightly bitter and tangy coffee scent mixed in with pastries to balance it out. This has great throw and longevity too. Which is a bonus! It really captures the feeling of being at a coffee shop or bakery. Very nice!
-
This is all rich buttery cake! Much stronger then Eat Me and this has no fruit note. It's all cake! But emphasis on the buttery.
-
El Dia de los Reyes 2013 This is one of my most favorite "drink" scents from BPAL. I wish I could buy the actual drink it smells so good. This is the perfect mix of cocoa and cinnamon. That's also what you smell big time when you sniff it. When wet the coffee note comes out a little more but its mainly cinnamon and cocoa still. The dry down brings out the sugar and coffee mostly and it's so good. One of my favorite coffee scents.
-
This is for Beaver'Versary... This one is a perfect little scent of vanilla cupcakes and vanilla cheesecake to me. It's not very strong (maybe from aging), but it is delicious. The little beaver on the label is also too cute.
-
This scent is a favorite of mine! In the bottle and wet it has the lightest sweetest cookie scent, but mixed in is the pomegranate cream to make it not overly sweet. When it dries down though that sugar note is my favorite. It smells just like powdered sugar and I love it. Only wish the throw was a little stronger. Also the label is the cutest thing ever!
-
This is all chocolate syrup upon sniffing. Wet on the skin I get strong heavy chocolate fudge. As it dries down I then get some of the chocolate frosting scent mixed with a little stout. I can smell the boozy edge but it keeps it from being all too sweet. Love this chocolate because it's strong and lasts on my skin. I love Bliss too but it has a lighter chocolate note that fades away so fast. I'm glad this one sticks around. One of the best chocolate scents by BPAL!
-
This smells exactly like the description. It's a very light lemon icing. Not strong lemon on me. It's just the right amount. Makes me smile and it's oddly calming. Love to wear this in the summer months. Cute label too! I LOVE bats.
-
This in the bottle is lemon zest. But on the skin the cheesecake comes out a lot. When it all dries down I get the perfect lemon cheesecake. Sweet and mouth watering. Never get much pear maybe it's just adding to the overall sweetness.
-
Wet this one starts off as gingersnap cookies. When it dries down the orange comes in and mellows it out a little. I feel like I get some other spices that I don't know as well, maybe that's the caraway. I really like this one. It's very Christmassy to me. And the label is the cutest thing ever!

2012: This is my all time favorite cookie scent! It smells like a perfectly delicious sugar cookie. Sweet and decadent but not too buttery. It's perfection. 2011: Is also a delicious sugar cookie scent but more buttery and has a lot less throw than 2012, and short wear time. EDIT to add 2008: Oh my goodness! This one is amazing!!! A lot like 2012 with less spice I'd say. It smells just like eating sugar cookie dough that hasn't been cooked yet, and I freaking love that! It has a tad lower throw then 2012 BUT is so delicious I don't mind sniffing my arm all day. It's also going strong still after 3 hours of wear...

Mother Shub's Unmentionable Peppermint Creams
vanilla323 replied to pinkstardust420's topic in Yules
This is the perfect vanilla mint. Wet it smells like a buttermint. Those soft candies. But as it dries the marzipan comes forward it smells like a soft vanilla to me. The mint fades off a little and what is left is soft with low throw but very soothing each time I sniff my wrist. The peppermint is sweet and friendly...that I appreciate. This is lovely.
