    Irish Coffee Cake

    This was delicious on me, and my friend. The sad thing about the lab's foodie scents is that they don't taste as good as they smell! Great for the holidays.

    Snake Oil

    One of the reasons I love fragrance so much is that it smells differently on everyone. I love the warm vanilla scent of this with the spices. I'll have to pick up a bottle of this down the road, but I'd love to know how old the tester I tried was, considering everyone tells me it smells lovely aged. I loved this and I'll definitely revisit it.

    Traveling with BPAL

    If you have 1oz decants, you should be fine. A full bottle, maybe not because it's more than 3 ounces.

    Love

    I got a decant of this after winning Ondine's very generous PIF! This evokes a mental image of pink strawberries and marshmallow fluff clouds. It's very foodie and smells like I rubbed myself with rice krispy treats. My roommates asked what treats I was hiding in my room. I do enjoy this, but I don't know if it's very *me*. I enjoy the foodie scent, but I'm not sure I like wearing it on me.

    Holliday Hair Gloss

    I got a decant from a circle left over and adore how smoky and sexy this is. It has a lot of notes I love and admittedly, I've been staying off of it to not possibly run out. This, in my opinion, is a hair gloss for a badass.

    Ava

    The first BPAL I ever fell hard for! I initially picked this up in my quest for finding a matching Eve for my Adam, and in my quest to Own All The Things! Ava in the bottle and wet on my skin is vanilla musk before that tuberose starts opening it up on my skin. I get the edge of citrus as she dries down and she can last all day for me. This perfume is one I never want to be out of. She smells incredible and age appropriate for me (Late 20s) and I think as it ages, it'll go just as beautifully.
  7. If you like Butterflies, Flowers and Jewels Attending and OLLA's Ava like I do, you'll like YSL's Black Opium. It smells like they could be siblings, or at least within the same family.

    Eat Me Hair Gloss

    This is a favourite perfume oil for me so I was excited to get the hair gloss after wandcapping the oil through my hair. HOLY STAYING POWER! Four days after spraying it, my hair still smelled like it! It was something I wasn't reaching for too much, so I wound up selling it.

    Hair Loosened and Soiled in Mid Orgies Hair Gloss

    This was the first hair gloss I tried and got tossed to the wayside once I got others, mostly LEs. I find myself wanting more of this. I love the honey and musk, and have tended to enjoy blends with ambrette seed. I can't wait to get O and wear these together!

    Mikado Saloon Hair Gloss

    I'm really bummed I'm going to eventually run out of this, but it's been my go to hair gloss since getting decants. The vanilla/leather is what I smell in the bottle and at first spray, then it turns to musky/leather sexiness. It lasts until my next wash!

    Venus Obsequens

    This is straight up apple on me! Slight cardamom and honey. No real trace of blackcurrant though. I enjoy it, but I'm not sure I want to keep it. Edit: 2:10 PM. I'm getting more cardamom and honey. I spoke too soon!

    O

    I finally tried this at Will Call last night. The sweetness is sexy and feels seductive and reminds me of Hair Loosened and Soiled Hair Gloss, which is a favourite of mine. The patch on my arm where I put her on is still strong, almost 24 hours later! I'm definitely picking up a bottle!

    Sir Thomas Sharpe

    Being the Tom Hiddleston fan I am, I snapped him up immediately at Will Call, along with a backup. I'd love to see the official description and notes, so this is me trying to do this as best as I can. The first lash on my skin, I smelled something masculine, but it's not to the extent of OLLA's Adam. I get a lot of woody notes from this, something a bit dusty. He smells warm and comfortingish, but isn't in your face. I skin-tested him with Edith Cushing (which I wound up buying) *and* Lucille Sharpe. Both combinations, Thomas is the secondary player, but it compliments them. Holy staying power. It's almost 9:30 AM right now and I applied him at 6:20 PM last night

    How do you apply your BPAL oils?

    Wand caps! Wand cap everything! I'm a fairly new collector, but I do enjoy the wand caps to dab where I need to. Of my stash, I only really use about two or three regularly.

    Gainful Employment

    I've had a decant of this for a few months and have used it with varying results. Scent-wise: Cloves and spices. I've anointed resumes, candles and my computer with while looking for work. I haven't had a steady job in more than a year after moving to California. I don't know if it's me, as I've been using this since about April and still haven't found work. I wore it to a couple of interviews this past week and felt that they went really well. Now to wait for results.
