2025 I think this is what characters from The White Lotus smell like...maybe it's the whole set just wafts this. I feel like it reminds me somehow of Skeleton Onesie...but that one was a bit too fabric forward for me. This stops just at being too much. It makes me feel nostalgic for some reason.

Sunlight on bare skin. Warm. The perfect day in the sun. It’s swimming nude in the Mediterranean, out to a huge rock. And you climb out of the water onto the rock and let the sun dry you. And it’s how you smell in that moment.

Just buy it if you're a cardamomhoe. This is soooooooooooo good.

Oh is it Hot Snake Oil Summer?!? Cause omg please. This is 🔥. I’m still gonna have to order another coconut scent cause right now I need even more coconut but this smells so smooth and rich. But it’s not too much. Is everything I ordered a WIN?!?

A review from someone who can't stand grapefruit: this is gorgeous! Oh this grapefruit is nice. It doesn't last long anyway and then it's a sticky fresh marshmallow scent. It smells warm, gooey and almost a little toasted. Just a touch.

Oh blue raspberry HEAVEN 💙 this is exactly what I wanted. This is my blue raspberry scent and my epic quest has found its holy grail. One of my students asked who had blue raspberry candy. Honestly, I can’t believe how perfect this is. How is it a bit sour and blue and stays that way?!? I must have another bottle. I must always be able to smell like this.

Cedar, Eucalyptus and Dirt? Maybe something a tiny bit floral in the background. I think the eucalyptus is the menthol smell. It smells like a California Redwood forest. (also I know eucalyptus trees are encroaching on the California redwoods, but that smell is something I also associate with it because they are there too...)

I’m into Red Musk for this…The Red Ribbon and Crowley if you want to hunt 😅

Smells like floral pee on me. I'm very sad. Ah well. I have no idea what note is causing that. I think it may be the currant note.

Creature from the Black Lagoon vibes. This scent is wonderfully androgynous. Just gonna sink into the inky sweet depths of the sticky gummy oily opoponax and black musk. A bit sweet, with twirly bits of smokey opium poppy swirling about. The khus smells of the dark vegetation at the bottom of the lagoon where the creature rests. Just a creature floating in my lagoon enjoying the day carefree. I enjoy this even more than Event Horizon.

I've worn this twice and feel like I could possibly give a review now. This scent is a bit of a journey and has taken some time to really settle. The first time I wore it, it was very faint (shipping shock). And it has gotten stronger as it has rested *YAY* The white sandalwood starts out giving it the sharpness, and dryness that I often get from white sandalwood. The brittleness of a bone white sky. The smell of sea but without the aquatic. A wash of green from the vetiver root? But this quickly fades into this gorgeous soft ambergris/orris that is like a fluffy cloud. And the cardamom/pepper/sliiiight hint of cedar flits into the clouds like the flock of crows. When it dries down I am left with a cardamom cloud. I am surprised how long the cardamom is lasting with this and quite happy. The light and the dark intertwined.

I recently tried Like a Girl and it's a very pretty skin musk! I smelled it on my sweatshirt sleeve yesterday and was like "omg I smell so gooooood" and then I remembered the last time I wore that I used Like a Girl on that arm lol. It has sandalwood but it's Mysore sandalwood which works better for me than a lot of other sandalwood notes. It's creamier? I also have Woman Putting on her Stocking which has a skin musk note but I haven't tried it yet...will let you know. Neutral is just skin musk. And then also I think Glowing Vulva has a skin musk thing going on but it's not a listed note, but the vibe of that perfume is *skin musk*. As always YMMV.

Similarities Between BPAL Scents - GC and general discussion
amoray replied to Shollin's topic in Recommendations
This. This still makes me so sad. I don't usually enjoy coconut but that single imp...why? did. it. have. to. be. so. good. I may try Snakes in the Coconut Cake at some point, but I often don't like SO variants. I'm weird. I LOVE Snake oil but as soon as it's combined with something it's too sweet or too much. What was in that imp that we can't just have it in full size?!? I will continue to be devastated that I can't get a bottle of that coconut. With that lavender. GAWD. It was SO GOOD. -

Can anyone tell me if the coconut in the free Black Friday imp last year Lavender Coconut Cream Pie is the same as Cat Sleeping on an Armchair? I know this is silly, but the free imp had a different coconut than the bottle and I REALLY NEED that coconut smell. Please. Thank you. -
Melon Cream Cake....veeeery nice cake note. The Pink Moon 2024 is so pretty, but it's a Nesquik strawberry scent which you might not like. It's super sweet and maybe a tad artificial strawberry candy smell but I like it. The Sugar Crystals and Mandarin is a simple citrus. I like it a lot but it's not complex at all.

This smells like honeyed Heartshow. Whoa. A blast of cherried red musk. The goat's milk and honey give it a creamy funk. Mmmmmmm. This is stronk.
-
Oh sweet mallow woods. Beautiful. This scent is soft and smooth. The coffee isn't overwhelming. It's like eating S'mores while someone drinks a coffee nearby. There is fresh firewood nearby. A comforting scent. It smells like it might have a bite, but like the gentle Atlas moth it's mostly an illusion. A warm ruddy brown scent.

This smells of walking through mud and tall reed grasses. The grasses are fragrant almost with a hint of lemongrass. The myrhh starts to take over and it's like sinking into the mud. I like this part. Just sink into the mud for a bit.

This smells like pee. I *think* it's the narcissus. It smells like a dark dank dirty bathroom. Not for meeeeeeee.

Pink Moon: Wild Strawberries and Patchouli
amoray replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I kept thinking that Pink Moon 2024 reminds me of Pretty in Pink when I smelled it. Then I smelled this and it reminded me of The Heathers. No candy strawberry here, just dirty STRONKberry. I do think there could a be a little Miss Dior Cherie moment if you layered this with that sugared mandarin. I find that a tiny bit of this lasts forever. -
Strawberry with a hint of tartness...a tiny hint of cherry jolly-rancher. I don't get much creaminess from this but it's more there on the dry down. I get a lot of compliments on this one. It's pretty and pink and quite likable.

Pink Moon: Sugar Crystals and Mandarin
amoray replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
If you were worried about any rind bitterness, you won't find it here! This is wonderful sweet mandarin, like sugar sprinkled orange slices. Perfect for layering. Lovely. Uncomplicated. Summer. -
Calm for a weary mind. A relaxing scent for slumber. The hops give a herbal feeling to the scent. And the lavender reminds me of To A Wreath of Snow...it's like a wreath without the snow. I enjoy the way this way floats out around me because it's perfect for sleep.

The tea party in the garden took a wild turn. And here they are naked and smelling like sweet honey musk on a sunny afternoon. I do think the ambrette seed goes a bit powdery but it just adds to the softness of this scent. It is a very comforting golden afternoon scent.
