  1. Rose water, cognac, and lace slashed with gleaming silver.

    This smells very pink to me-not cotton candy pink but like baby pink roses and cream. When it dries it smells like a dolls head-not plastic but that powdery smell of say, a cabbage patch doll (in a good way). Powdery pink rose doll heads-I'm diggin it

  2. I bought this to use in my daughters hair but I love it too!! It is a little shampoo-like but a REALLY good shampoo!!! I get a lot of strawberry and a lot of cherry blossom-no tea and maybe a tiny bit of the vanilla orchid-love!!!!


  3. Cherubic spun sugar with a hint of lemon, sparkling peach, and floral tea.

    I don't know what else to say except that this smells exactly like the Snow Angel perfume but in HG form! Bright, cheery lemon with just enough peach and sugar-I've never gotten any floral tea from the perfume and that still rings true with this HG-I'm thinking of getting a back up bottle! Hmmmmm now I wonder how much pleading I need to do to get a Fee HG this Winter

  4. I received number VI-this smelled like light incense and either gardenia or Lilly of the valley maybe? The incense is very light but cuts the intensity of the floral. I'm not a floral wearer per se and didn't find that this scent was "me". I loved trying it but it is currently off to a new home.


  5. Hmmmmm not really what I was expecting which isn't necessarily a bad thing. In the bottle it smelled a little bit like a root beer/cream soda combo. It goes a little bit like play doh on the dry down. So sad my skin chemistry isn't working well with this SN. The anise is there and very detectable.


  6. I've never tried the perfume so I had no idea what to expect with this.

     

    I initially get the cake and tea but it's not long before the cucumber comes out a little stronger and gorgeously blends everything together! I really really like this-it's unique and refreshing-and the label art is legit

     

    ****edit****It just occurred to me what this HG reminds me of-Blue Moon 2004!!! It has to be the cucumber because when this HG dries down it has that same cool blue cucumber smell I get from blue moon 2004


  7. This is gorgeous!!! Red musk usually dominates most blends but that is so not the case here-the cherry blossom and strawberry make this so bright, fresh, and cheery!! If you're not a red musk lover you should still give this one a whirl! My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to stick around long on me


  8. Golden amber and bourbon vanilla with sweet oak, blue lotus, and tea blossom.

    This ended up being very heavy on the blue lotus for me-the overall scent reminded me of Poor Monkey from the recent Yules (which sadly didn't work on me)-I know Poor Monkey had a different lotus in it and I was really hoping the blue lotus here would play nicer but for me, it ended up taking over this otherwise soft and pretty scent. I smell a little bit of the tea blossom as well and for me, it seems like the amber and vanilla just kind of helped blend it all together (I don't get a lot of amber or vanilla is what I'm trying to say here).

  9. I know this isn't the right place on the forum to ask-but I know you guys will know!

    I haven't paid with PayPal since the new website has been up so I paid the old way where you just go to PayPal and send money to blackphoenixalchemylab@paypal.com and manually put your order in the notes.

    Does this method still work? I read later that you can go thru their website and still pay with PayPal (which was not the case with the old website) help!!


  10. This is very much lavender and cotton blossom and maybe a hint of vanilla? I think the vanilla helps keep this from being too in your face lavender. This is a lighter sweeter TKO and reminds me a lot of the scented oils they use when I get massages at the spa-which is why I'm keeping it! It's very very relaxing for me and with four year old triplets I could use something relaxing in my life :lol:


  11. I was afraid this might go plasic-ish on my skin like some of the lab's vanilla scents do, but Boo bath oil was a nice sweet buttercream scent with no plastic.....I used it as an after shower moisturizer and then went to put my kids shoes on for school.....they all said "mmmmm mommy you smell good" winner!


  12. The reviews scared me a little bit but I love this a whole lot more than I thought I would!

    To me it smells like something pastel pink would smell like....it smells like baby pink flowers with a dribble of strawberry! Very sweet and feminine....I'm already on the hunt for a second bottle of this sweet beauty!


  13. This smells exactly like Pink Moon 07 on me....I'm not sure why because I dont think they have a single note in common? Pink Moon had carnation and phlox (I forget what else)

    I do like Pink Lace but it smells more like carnation on me than strawberry....either way I am keeping my bottle because I do love it!


  14. I'm really glad I purchased a decant of this first...it's definitely not what I was expecting....it smells like root beer (sassafras) I have a rootbeer shampoo from Moonalisa that I use and this smell so much like the shampoo.....

    I think it's nice, don't get me wrong, I like rootbeer...its just not what I was expecting from this particular bath oil....I will use my decant but will probably opt to buy a full bottle of Castitas instead for my vanilla fix


  15. I am a big red musk fan but sometimes I'm afraid to wear it because I fear it's a little too sharp (like in MME Moriarty...which I do like) Hygeia....is fricken gorgeous red musk!!!! Not sharp at all but rather a very sweet smelling red musk...I also smell the sweet incense and golden musk but the sweetened red musk is the star....this is so well blended and beautiful....now I'm kicking myself for only buying 1 bottle before it was taken down....I must have a backup bottle of this (which is something I rarely do) a very sophisticated red musk....love love love!!!!!


  16. As soon as I saw the notes listed for this one I knew I MUST own a bottle of it....and I must say...this is unlike any other BPAL bottle I own!

     

    In the bottle: The strongest note for me in the bottle is the white chocolate, lettuce, and coconut...if you were worried about the white chocolate in this one, don't...because it faded as soon as I put it on my skin.

     

    Once this hits my skin this turns into a very light "watery" scent.... that is the only word that comes to mind....I smell mostly what I'm guessing is frosty lilac petals, the wild lettuce, and coconut(but a very very light coconut).

     

    Overall I'm very happy with this and I'm very happy to add it to my extensive collection....It's very hard to compare this to another BPAL scent because like I said, it's unlike any other scent I've tried.

    It's a very innocent scent....I have a 9 month old daughter and while I DO NOT put perfume on her (duh) I think this would be the most appropriate one for her when she gets older and wants to wear "mommy's perfume" :lol:


  17. I really really wanted to love this one as I LOVE rootbeer and would love to smell like it :) unfortunately my skin chemistry had it's way with this one and turned it into something that smells like a bandaid that had a tad of rootbeer spilled on it :( so so sad
