  1. I sadly have to agree with Herbgirl. I put OG Lady of Pain on one wrist this morning with the 24 version on the other. Completely different scents to me. And I’m not sure aging will help. I’m not getting patchouli at all from the new. I feel like several notes are just…missing? I *think* what I’m getting is just the lavender & perhaps a little orchid? It’s very faint and is nothing like the original to me. 💔💔

    Very sad.


  2. This gloss is easily in my top 3 of deserted island hair glosses (and I own wayyy too many, lol). It’s super sexy to me…mostly amber with a touch of the oude. It’s gorgeous and very reminiscent of Hesiod’s Phoenix or La Gubre Gondola, which I wear quite often with this gloss. I have purchased multiple bottles and will buy more when it comes back! I get TONS of compliments every time I wear it as well. Just fantastic. 💕


  3. Ok, I must love oudh! This is amazing. In the bottle and first on it even reads a little chocolatey to me (and my boyfriend too!). Soon though, it settles into a smooth, velvety sweet Snake Oil version that I adore. It’s sexy and warm. Can’t wait to see how it ages! I’m snagging bottle #2 today!


  4. It’s funny...I’m not getting a whole lot of fruit like I would expect. However, this is my new favorite gloss and I struggle not to use it every day! Something about it reminds me of the Amber goodness of IBT, but much lighter with a hint of fruit. This is a winner and I need a backup!! 


  5. This time, with sprinkles!

     

    SUGAR!!! 

    This is wonderful, sweet, pure sugar! I get no caramel, no burnt notes, no smoke, nada! Just the simplest, most delicious sugar blast ever. Like sticking your face in a sugar bowl full of white granulated sugar. It’s awesome.

    To me, this would go with just about any perfume in my collection because it’s simple, yet amazing. I adore it. Will definitely need at least one backup, maybe twenty.

    ❤️


  6. Wow, such varying reviews.

    My take on this is that it’s almost a clean, slightly sweet incense scent, if that’s even possible, lol. I get no smoke, no vetiver, just a very nice, slightly autumnally clean, almost fresh vibe. I get no lemon. This actually smells a little traditional to me, as opposed to what I consider your typical BPAL type scent. I own probably 40-50 different hair glosses and this is different from anything I own and I love it. Boyfriend approved as well! ❤️


  7. Candied strawberries and pink pepper.

    Very much like Strawberry Moon hair gloss with a little kick of pepper added. It also reminds a bit of Edible Panties. When I whoosh my hair around I get this little air of pepper/spice that I LOVE. I'm hoping with age more of the pepper comes out. For now, a sweet, foody strawberry gloss! <3

  8. Black fig and orange blossom with tonka, black vanilla, and a gust of spiced sandalwood incense.

    This is a gorgeous, light sandalwood blend. I'm hoping next use I pick up more of the fig and vanilla...but for now, upon first application, it's very light with just a hint of sandalwood. Perfect for work or when you'd like a lighter scent. So good!! <3

  9. When I sprayed this on my daughter, I swear it smelled just like toasted coconut candy. But the next morning when I used it on myself, I got more of the vanilla and a hint of the tiare. Sweet, soft, vanilla coconut with a dab of tropical tiare.

    It's beautiful and lovely and I'm so glad I have a bottle of Pickle! <3


  10. Oh wow! This is the marshmallow apricot candy that dreams are made of. Seriously good stuff. This is tooth achingly sweet, sweet candy. I mean, I have a LOT of SWEEEEEET hair glosses and this is probably the sweetest I now own. Thank you to my fairy for getting me some Mlerm, I love it to death.

    Only drawback is that it is super light, so I have to spray heavy and respray...but I don't care. It's delicious!! :wub3:


  11. Lavender, white musk, sweet hops, and a little French vanilla.

    This is soo good. I didn't realize I needed more lavender in my life until this. I'm not getting a whole lot of hops and the white musk lends a bit of cleanness to it. This is mostly a sweet lavender vanilla to me. Perfect for those who missed TKO hair gloss (please bring it back!). I just ordered my 2nd bottle. <3

  12. Man oh man! I'm in love! I'm in love! And I don't care who knows it! :dance:

     

    This, to me, is reminding me of when I first discovered BPAL. Something about the headshoppy vibe is bringing about fond memories of when I discovered early true loves (like Bordello). It's the kind of scent when sniffed makes me go...oh yeah, this is totally BPAL... if that makes sense?

     

    I agree with the above reviews...sweet, headshoppy, strawberry incense. So, if that's your bag...jump on it. Me? I'm snagging a backup...maybe 2! :evol:


  13. I'm loving everything about this. It feels autumnal yet clean and light? I can't wait for this baby to get some age on it. Right now it's primarily leaves and neroli...hoping over time the red musk will become stronger. Gotta seek out a bottle! <3

     

    ETA: Bottle ordered. I recently rec'd a 2nd full imp I had mistakenly (but good, mistake) ordered. It smells pretty much like my first imp only as if it has aged some. I loved it even more and immediately placed an order for a full bottle. If you like leaves and red musk...you hafta try this!


  14. FWIW, we're only supposed to recommend BPAL oils here...recommendations for other retailers are supposed to be handled in Other Retailers You Love subforum...

     

    On to my recs:

     

    (first 6 are from the Beloved Favorites Imp Pack on BPAL's website)

    Alice
    Dorian
    Embalming Fluid
    Morocco
    Sin
    Snake Oil

    I also would recommend O (for honey) and Brown Jenkin or Goblin (for coconut).

    Welcome to the madness, have fun and enjoy your journey!
