I can smell the single note Black Coffee in this. It's one of my favorite BPAL scents. I also like the lavender note in this. I was going to order a full bottle of this, but I'm low on funds at the moment, so when it comes right down to it, I decided that I prefer both of these notes separately. I doubled down on Blueberry Lavender Lemon Crepes instead.

I've been looking for a good blueberry lavender scent for several years now, and this one is perfect. The lemon lifts the blueberry and keeps it from becoming too sweet or artificial, and the crepe base makes it gourmand without the intensity of a vanilla cake, which is what most of the blueberries in my scents are paired with. Sometimes the lavender will float above the blueberry note, but in this scent, they meld well together. I added a second bottle to my order after I read doomsday_disco's review. ✌️

I get a big ol' snoutful of myrrh, even before I open the decant. On me, it's predominantly myrrh, sweet almond, and rum spices. The other notes meld into, and support these notes. Dry, warm, musky, resinous.
-
A grounded, honeyed floral. Too floral for me.
-
It's 84 degrees F here indoors, and I'm getting a fresh, bitter, green neroli. There's a hint of orange fruit, but this is noticeably bitter neroli to me. This is great for summer--not too sweet.
-
Bitter coffee and musky alcohol. The pumpkin spices probably contribute to the flat and dark quality of this scent, too.
-
Yum! A soft cloud of lemony mango. I'm addicted and want to wear this every day. Might get a backup.

Had high hopes for this one, as I'd heard such good things about it. Gave me an instant headache both of the times that I tried it. I like patchouli, vetiver, and vanilla. And I've liked other scents with myrrh, so maybe it's some combination of those that I can't take.

Strawberry amber chypre. Refreshing, airy, and not too sweet. Kind of a lighter fragrance after it dries, but it lasts for a long time in my hair.

When I first got this, I was iffy about it. But recently, I had to cover up an unpleasant odor in the bathroom (not mine!) and sprayed this on the cloth shower curtain. A couple of minutes later, the offending odor was gone and in its place was a sparkly musk with a touch of sweetness! It's gorgeous and smells fresh and crisp with a soft, sweet non-foody vanilla in the background.

Wet: A little bit spiced, like a cocoa-dusted cookie. Dry: Smoky, perfumy amber jumps in. Wow, this one is super strong. Drydown: waxy, perfumy amber. Getting a distinct cotton note here, as well.

Sweet peach and incense. There's not much vanilla to my nose.
-
When first applied, there's this green, leafy note with the soft sandalwood and frankincense. On the drydown, it's waxy and warm, with a light woody-resinous base.
-
Airy fresh rose, with cherry providing some fruity sweetness. Like a more airy, less sweet and less lemony Lush Rose Jam.

2019 version: On me, this is a round, soft, peachy, musky amber. It does have a bit of saltiness, which cuts down on the sweetness. I really like this scent and am going to buy the hair gloss that came out this year.
