Black Forest- I LOVE LOVE LOVE this scent. This is part of my first ever BPAL order, and it is the first oil I have tried in which the scent actually seemed to morph...this is the first one in which I could actually recognize different notes coming out at different times. And I loved it.

It starts out super piney, but within just a few seconds of application, I can smell the musk coming through. It's pretty feral at that point, but in this really fresh way. As it dries, it just becomes almost minty- without being minty. It makes me feel like I'm breathing cool air when I smell it. I will probably buy this one again. Maybe next month, if I get some gigs. Fades pretty fast-- couple hours and it's made its full cycle on me.

It actually reminds me quite a bit of "January Girl" by Tori Amos

She was a January girl

never let on how insane it was

in that tiny kinda scary house

by the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods

I tried 'Follow Me Boy' yesterday... the very first BPAL scent I've ever gotten to try. So it was very exciting. Unfortunately, this oil went a bit powdery on me. My boyfriend said I smelled incense-y. So, hmm... lemony-incense-y baby powder. I will try it again, but I don't think it's going to be my favorite one.
