I have a decant of this and just bought a bottle from a forum member. They are both different.

My decant is sweet and missing the leather note. My bottle is sweet with a leather kick. Very nice!

FYI: I'm the worst when it comes to reviews.

A kind soul set me a empty bottle of this with enough to test in it.

All I get in this is Jasmine ... none of the other notes. It is a soft sweet jasmine and it's really pretty. I have several oils with jasmine already so I won't be buying a bottle of the Puppet Mistress.

Hi all, does anyone know of any BPAL scents that would be similar to my discontinued Escada Collection? Notes were:

 

Sweet oriental blend of mandarin, cola, jasmine, tonka bean, musk and sandalwood

 

Thank you!

I would like to know that as well. That's the only Escada I really like and it's so pretty.

ETA: I didn't see the answer before posting but personally Mata Hari smells nothing like Escada Collection.

Gifts and their festive labels

Oh how cute! That was very sweet of the Lab to do that for all you will-callers.

So how's the Poop? Is it a foody or earthy smell?? Inquiring minds want to know.

New Midway label.

Thanks quikslvr!! It's nice looking BUT I still like the old label better.

Does anyone know if the rezzed Midway has the same label as the old Midway? The old Midway label is so *cute*...

I'd like to know this as well. Hope someone posts a pic if it's different.

OK, I got the pickle note in this one when sniffing out of the bottle and also when wet on my skin. Once it dried and sat for about 30 min it turned into this wonderful scent that's so hard to describe. I'm just not sure if I can stand waiting 30 minutes to get to the end results. The label is just lovely!

GP 2007:

I tried GP 05 awhile back and did not like it at all and swapped it off. GP 07 is nothing like 05. I think 05 was heavy on the nutmeg and that's what I didn't like about it. The nutmeg is present in 07 but not as strong which makes a huge difference.

This bottle is a keeper.

Very nice! This is a lot like Shango in ways and maybe a touch of Smut. I have bottles of all three and I think they are related.

This is like rootbeer meets snake oil. I like!

This is not a scent I would wear in public because it smells like marijuana (sp?) and that's the last thing I want to smell like. It is nice in it's own way and I have a full bottle so maybe I will just wear it around the house but have to make sure I won't have any visitors.

Oooh I really love this one. I like jasmine as long as it's not really strong and in this it's not (at least not on me). This is like Al Azif (one of my favs) meets jasmine. Very pretty and lasts about 6 hours on my skin. I'm so glad I swapped for this. Thanks TWH!!

Here's a pic of Beaver Moon 07 (sorry it's not that good, the picture not the label)

I realize this is probably very old news, but I was showering with Honey I Washed the Kids yesterday and I realized that it smelled exactly like the sugary vanilla in Dorian. It lacks Dorian's tea and musk, but it's really remarkably close. Which is good, because I used up my bar of Dorian soap ages ago and haven't ordered more yet.

 

Now if only I could find a BPAL blend that smells like Rock Star. I've resorted to layering, but it's never quite the same.

My summer SW sent me some HIWTK soap and a BPAL Imp of Cockaigne and the two are perfect together.

Does anyone have a picture of Beatrice? The Gallery is down so not sure if one was posted there.

Another GC with a picture label is the Great Sword of War ... right?

Haunted House Labels -

Halloweeniee labels (minus sugar skull - sorry!)

Oooh I'm jealous Tramp!! Such purty labels.

Aeaea!!

 

This totally was NOT what I was expecting

 

I posted another in the label art gallery as well.

Anyone notice "A Lot of Lunacy" on the bottom of the label?

This smells like sweet pencil shavings. Not getting the curry like others. It's a nice scent, very different.

I just posted the Pumpkin Patch set in the Gallery.

 

I think I like this set even more than the last one!

Oh I love them!! I can't wait to get my set. I still like the older labels.

Has anyone noticed the labels are sitting lower on the bottles? Especially Death of Autumn (in the Picture Gallery). I noticed that on my Crypt Queen as well.

I'm not good at reviews but I do smell the fruit, patchouli maybe a tiny hint of flowers & black pepper. Not sure what blood accord smells like. This may be in the same family as Mme Moriarty but it's not like Moriarty if you know what I mean. They are two different scents.

I the smell of this in the bottle but not sure my skin chemistry is going to cooperate with this blend which makes me very SAD. It's close to that time of the month and my chemistry goes all wonky so will try it again in a week or so to make sure.

ETA: The throw is good on this one and it lasted 8+ hours on my skin.

Drink Me is milky creamy to me. Very comforting.

The new King Cobra looks pretty sweet

 

Please can someone post pictures of the Stardust and/or Good Omens labels? I'm absolutely dying to know what they look like!

me too me too!! Especially Shadwell & Fairy Market

Camera phone picture of 13: July 07 It's so pretty and pink and bright.

 

It's the preppy BPAL! I can't wait to get mine!

 

Thanks for sharing the picture, heysunshine.

Oh yes, pink and green take me back to the 80's preppy scene. Please don't get me wrong but I really like the original 13 labels. They just look more classy. I still want to get a bottle though, to go with my collection. I like the four I have but my favs are the 1st & 2nd one.

I read in the War review that there is a picture of a woman on the label??

I bet Macha is working her butt off ... all the new lab artwork, BPTP soaps and now her own soap company.

I for one sure appreciate all her hard work but I'm sure she needs a much deserved vacation.

Now, is there anyone out there that's wants to share her lovely new artwork with us??

Does anyone have pics of Thunder and Selkie? I see a few reviews but so far I haven't seen any pictures. I didn't buy anything from the last two updates so I am curious to see labels.
