    Mango-Infused Pumpkin Chai Latte

    Wet: in the bottle, I do get a hint on mango and some spice. Is it me, or does this oil have a perfectly fitting pale green color to it? On Skin: not a lot of mango, which is good for me, was afraid of the mango note, but warms to a nice spicy, pale, pale tea scent. Was also not too sure about the tea note, those are usually bad on me. Drydown: Very warm spicy soft tea scent, with a dash of pumpkin. This is a lovely blend, perfect for Fall. Foody lovers will love this! I like it, so my decant should be enough!

    The Perilous Parlor

    A very nice vanilla smell in the bottle...it is just right to me, not too soft and not too strong as some vanilla can be for me. However, applied...it stays vanilla, but I get a strange, almost floral cologne scent that is lingering around..could that be pear? I don't know, but doesn't smell like pear to me...it is like a slight florally vanilla. Has a good throw but I am not a floral fan at all, so this will have to go to a better home! Adding...this is a 2012 Weenie bottle!

    Bite Me

    Wow!!! First sniff from the bottle....STRONG caramel BOOZE!! Almost feel woozy just smelling it. The booziness fades only a bit on my skin....I don't get honey or almond from this. Might seem odd, but the closest I can come to describing this on me, is a caramel flower soaked in booze. I know, no floral note listed, but that's what I get!!

    The Book

    Hmm...get a nice mixture of leather and book, but then at the same time...something else. It is a very nice scent, but I think for a guy. Decant might have to go to a swap pile!

    Neil

    Same as above...very sweet cherry, in vial and on skin. Even though it is sweet, it isn't very overpowering. I don't get cereal out of this...jelly beans, maybe...but just a sweet, cute scent!

    Chocolate Espresso Gingerbread

    Ok BPAL / BPTP people....see all these great reviews? PLEASE make this in bottle form!!! I recently got 2 imps of this, and this is such a wonderful, delicious scent!! This is a must for any foodie lover out there. On me, I smell all components...Chocolate, Espresso, warm Gingerbread!! NEED a BOTTLE of this!!

    Who are the authorized resellers?

    Yep...Sunshine is right, those are the only places...and from Virginia, the closest place would be the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia...and I think that would be about a 2 hour drive AND they only carry one or two scents. (I've been there) The nearest place to me is about an 8 hour drive...
  8. An LE... A Game Called Yes & No. Mulled wine and marzipan. I recently got a half bottle of this, and it was more wine than marzipan to me, but in a nice, soft wine scent.

    Boomslang v2

    Well, I agree with everything already posted....This is very yummy. You get the Snake Oil and softer cocoa! I have regular Boomslang and sniffing them next to each other, they are almost exact...except, yes, Boomslang is dark choco and Boomslang v2 is milk choco! I love them both!! I think if you are itching for some Boomslang, the v2 version is just as good and satisfying!!! AND I agree with Milo...I would think these two versions would be like sisters...related, but yet slightly different!

    Pronouncing "BPAL" and scent names!

    The best way to pronounce the German U (I don't know how to type it with the umlauts) is to round your lips in an "O" and say long EEEEEEE.

    Butterscotch and Blackbeetles

    YIKES!! I might be alone in this, BUT I got a decant of this from a lovely forumite... Wet in the vial: Yummy butterscotch!! On Skin: IMMEDIATELY turned to the smell of a half sucked on butterscotch candy that was dropped in dirt!! Sorry...this ones a gotta go!!!

    Pickled Imp

    Sniff in bottle: Hmmm....almost has an astringent smell. Kind of has me nervous! On Skin: Ok...better! I do smell every note, the pine I am worried about, but it is soft and fades fast! 5 minutes later: Mmmmm....much much better! This is a wonderful spicy scent! The cinnamon and clove stand out the most, but it isn't harsh or crazy as one might expect. The cinnamon is more like a Red Hot or Schnapps scent!! 10 minutes later: Everything softens up nicely!! This is a great Fall/holiday scent! Glad I got it!!!!

    Box 116

    So funny how we all get something similar, yet different! So, for me...just got my bottle today from Etsy, and at first application, there was some sort of sweetness...a candy-like scent that I JUST can't place!! BUT after drydown, to me, it's Dark Chocolate & Pepper Smoked Caramel! I have a bottle of DCPSC and side by side, they are almost the same...there is a slightly more hint of salty in Box 116, but pretty close to being the same! Either way, both YUMMY!!!

    Patient Friendly Oils

    Well....even though it isn't a GC scent, Snow White is a beautiful and very light scent. It has a low throw to it (to me at least)! Good luck in your search!

    Western Diamondback

    All I can say is... OOOH YES!!! This is a beautiful leather blend!! This is what I have been looking for in a leather scent! Most leather scents are too manly, but this is a wonderful, soft, Snake Oil and leather blend!! If you are like me and aren't into the floraly over feminine scents, then get this one!! It does have a low throw, but it is beautiful!! Perfect scent for a gal!!!!
  16. Says on their website that all their oils are vegan except those with honey notes..
  17. Kingdom of Sweets!! THAT one is, to me, very tooth achingly sweet!! I know there is a bottle on Ebay right now for auction....but yeah, just sniffing that one will send you to the dentist!!

    Woods~

    I believe someone is selling it on the forum, I could swear I saw it on one of the updated sale posts today...unless you're the one who bought it! My wallet fears the arrival of the Carnival! Ha!! Yeah, that was me! Been looking for it for a while, and each time I saw it, I was beat by seconds, but FINALLY!! Got one this time, but yeah....my wallet is also trembling with fear and excitement for the Carnival! It will be my first, so I am jazzed!

    Woods~

    Well...not sure if this might fit along the lines of what you are looking for, but maybe Western Diamondback? I am awating a bottle I just purchased and so have yet to ever smell it, but reading the reviews, sounds like it might be one for you to try...if you can find it. Maybe it will come back with the Carnival this year? <hint hint>

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    Wow....ok then....thanks for the info!! That is real cool to know!!! As always, I get very nice and helpful people here!!

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    Got a label question...I know there are a lot of knowledgeable forumites here..here goes: So, the few BPAL bottles I have are all LE, so they have all the colorful labels on them...I have seen pictures of GC bottles for sale on Ebay and they have the beige like label with the black scroll work around it, Well, I recently got a bottle of Banshee Beat (I know it is a disc. GC scent) but the top of the label on it says, "Space 15 twenty." Can anyone tell me what that means, if anything? I noticed the other GC labels don't have anything printed above the scent name... ??? Thanks for any info guys!

    Desiccated Frostberry Pie Filling

    Well...I too do not know what frostberry is, but sadly, I don't get anything foody out of this, and I am a BPAL foody lover. In the bottle, I can smell something sort of berry-ish, but once I put it on, turns to a weird, heavy floral on me!! Going to have to swap this away!! P.S....so, reading all the other reviews, I wonder if I just got something different? I get no berries,(barely in the bottle when sniffed), no buttery crust, or sweetness...turned heavy and evil on me. VERY musky and floral...almost couldn't breathe, so confused as to the "no throw" on this.

    Great Vampire Bat

    Thanks to my wonderful fairy!! OOH...this is a beautiful scent! I love incense blends, but never too sure about florals, except orchids. This does not dissappoint! Wet in the bottle: I can really smell the mix of incense and tropical flowers...almost sinister and beautiful at the same time! On Skin: Whoa!! A little goes a looong way on me! The incense is more prominant than the flower, but you can still sense it there. Very sensual and grown up, but not in an old lady way!!! Dry Down: Stays very true!! Great throw on me...I think that this is a going out on the town kind of scent. Not to be worn everyday, but it is soooo gorgeous!!

    Cake Smash

    Hmmm... this is a very yummy scent...I do get cake and frosting, but it isn't over powering. When I first put it on, it smelled familiar, then it hit me!!! At least to my nose, it smells very close to Monsterbait: Closet!!! BUT this is a great scent. I don't get any S.O., but it is a yummy, softer, foodie scent!!!

    The Forbidding Foyer

    Well... I feel I am a novice at leaving a review, BUT wow...this scent is amazing! Not just because of how it smells, but, in my opinion, THIS is one major morphor!! Sniff: Yikes...really smells of...something on the verge of rotting..but it isn't pungant (SP?) This is a brain tickler!! On Skin: It morphs very quickly on me and smells NOTHING like it does in the bottle...I get a hint of some soft floral and some incense in there somewhere, peeking around the corner! 5 minutes later: WOW!! This is a crazy cration to me..I can start to smell the mahogany...that faint hint of wood...it is exactly the kind of smell I would expect to encounter when walking into an abandoned house and an old desk in foyer!! Verdict: Just amazing...don't know how they do this at the lab!! This is the craziest morphor to me. If you get a bottle or imp..really give it time!! This is one you don't want to judge from first sniff!!!
