Deep, dark bubblegum in a sexy way. Very sweet, but still tempting and flirty. To me, it's not very playful and fun, but more drowzy.

I got my very first imp of Snake Oil today, and I have to tell I'm not a very seasoned BPAL user and this is my very first review. I don't know much about notes and the way to find them in different blends, but I will try to describe what my nose found in this little SO. In the imp: The first thing I get is MINT, not green, but a sweet, soft candy sort of peppermint. What. Wet: Warm wood, like the insides of a antique wooden cabinet that you store linens in or a sun-warm veranda with some crumbs of peppermint candy(my "BPAL mother" thinks it's the patchouli that goes "mint" for me, she might be right). Fresh and bright with a calm and "round" background. If there is any vanilla, I can't find it. Drying: The "mint" has calmed down(but i'ts still there), and now my nose finds saffron. SAFFRON? It's not the typical saffron scent, but exactly the same way a Swedish saffron bun tastes, soft and warm saffron baked in a wheat dough. On top of that, it reminds me of a cool wooden sauna, the way it smells before you turn on the heater. Dry: Finally a bit of a vanilla peeks out and makes a little difference. Now, this is a super cozy scent. It is nice, calm and does not make a lot of attention, but it's perfect for cuddling with tea and animated movies or such things. Overall, I think it's a quite boring scent right now, but I know that Snake Oil gets better by time, so I'm going to "forget" it for a year and two and come back for it again.

Okay, omg, I WANT to get more imps, but the question is if I CAN. This is my list right now: Kali Stimulating Sassafras Strengthener Sudha Segara Alice's Evidence Defututa Golden Priapus Tombstone Sin Snake Oil Bordello Elegba Dragon's Milk Chimera Cockaigne Thank you for all of your help <3

Thank you so much for your answers! I'm researching all of your blend suggestions, it takes some time but it seems to be worth it! VELVET I don't think this is what I'm looking for right now, and after reading about KALI, that also contains chocolate but in a,for me, more interesting blend, I think I will save VELVET for another time and instead get an imp of KALI. STIMULATING S. S. I'm buying an imp of this! Root beer taste translates to Swedish Jenka bubblegum, super nostalgic! I don't know how well it works out as a perfume though, but it sounds fun! DANA O'SHE When I first read about this one I thought it sounded great, but a slightly bit boring. I loove almonds, but the amaretto type, and Danas almonds didn't seem to punch that hard. And then I looked up SUDHA SEGARA and yes, milk, sweetness AND a spicy kick of ginger! The only reason why I'm not buying this in a bottle is that some reviews found citrus in it, so I need to try Sudha Segara in an imp first. ALICE'S EVIDENCE I'm getting an imp of this and hope I'll like it enough for a bottle, sounds really promising with all the spices and fruits! Queen Alice I read a lot of the reviews on this one, but it didn't stuck. I think I'm a bit afraid of the cider that so many mentioned. HOLLYWOOD BABYLON This could totally be my bottle, I've read so many reviews and I can't see how it could be possible for me to not love it. It seems to be close to Snake Skin but with more fruity cherries, and I'm feeling safe with that because of SS's popularity. THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM I really don't think this will be sweet enough for me.
