I'd recommend Dorian. It's very unisex and well-liked, not smoky at all. Also, I'd check out a bunch from the Mad Tea Party section of the website. Tons of great scents for the younger ones there!

Welcome to the forum and BPAL!

Well, I'm going to have to be the odd girl here and say this doesn't remind me of BB hardly at all. This actually starts off more like Tricksy to me, than BB. I can't for the life of me wear BB, but I can wear this! It's a soft, sweet, mellow patch that goes awesomely with Silkybat HG. Seriously considering a backup bottle! If you like patchouli, I think you'll love this. Also, not getting a lot of cinnamon or honey. Just a very cozy, soft patchouli. Go for it!

Just like the others have said...this is sweet, plummy goodness. I love it. My kids love it. I need a lot more of it!!!

Also, I need it in: hair gloss, bath oil, and perfume. Please and thank you!!!! <3 <3 <3

Yes, it's pink

Two scents come to mind while sniffing this in bottle and on my skin and they are:

Beaver'versary & Beaver Moon 2010. BM 2010 is pure strawberry sweet candy to me while Beaver'versary is pure birthday cake.

Mix those two together and you have Very Pink Surprise Cake. I love it, but since I already have multiples of the parents, I'll just be needing one of the baby

ETA: people are comparing this to Sprinklecake which did not work for me (I can't remember why)...so don't be put off if Sprinklecake didn't work for you!

For someone who generally can't "do" florals, I think I could acually wear this! It's a very soft, sweet scent. I don't get much fig. I can only describe this as a clean, fresh, shampoo-like sweetness. Floral haters might be surprised to find they can wear Love & Sleep

I thought this was going to be great since all the reviews are glowing. Turns out the destructive kind of vagina is more my speed. This went screaming floral on me and almost into instant headache territory. I had to wash it off and of course, it took 3 washes to getitoff!!

I this!

When it first arrived a couple weeks ago I was very intrigued. I get a lot of the coconut backed up by the amber. It's sweet, but not too sweet. It reminds me in a way of the GC Brown Jenkin. Something about the creamy/dusty coconut.

I'm currently addicted to layering this with Snake Oil. Something about incensey, ambery, coconut just really hits the spot for me.

verdict: might need a backup if & when it becomes available again!

Oh my...

you guys. When this first arrived (a week or two ago) I tried this fresh out of the box and was kinda taken aback. I mean, I don't have much experience with blood musk and it was registering to me as dirty feet for some reason. However, after the dirty feet stage would dissipate, I would be left with the most ~gorgeous~ cacophony of patch, myrrh, and benzoin. So, so, so, so delish. I knew that maybe Callidora needed to age a bit (based on past experience with resins, et al). Needless to say just a week or two sitting in my bpal box and I no longer have the dirty feet stage!!! This stuff is just amazing!

Get you some...before I get it all (just bought my back up bottle!!)

This is great! When I first put it on in the shower the first thing that popped into my head was "this would be awesome paired with Snake Charmer"! It's definitely in the same vein to me as Snake Oil, Snake Charmer, etc. I'm positively going to have to buy 1 or 2 backups of this. I keep sniffing myself and my eyes are rolling back in my head. I'm loving ALL the vamp items from the Hallowenches.

Oh, and if you are worried about the rose here? Forget about it! It blends seamlessly with the musk and patch to create a beautiful cloud of awesomeness.

Get this, it's truly amazing!

edited to take away a "definitely"...I use that word too much!

This is going to sound overly dramatic, but smelling this hair gloss literally brings tears to my eyes. I swear....you (YES YOU!! (and by YOU I mean everybody)) must buy this hair gloss. Do not pass Go, do not collect 200 dollars. Just buy this gloss. It.is.amazing. (and I hate when people don't put spaces between their words) Srsly. Patchouli lovers...this is like no other patchouli you have ever smelled in your life. This is like liquid patchouli JOY. It is beautiful and so so different than anything I have ever smelled before.

Patchouli haters...please, do yourself a favor and just try a smidge of this, you'll be ever so glad you did.

I mean it...this scent is too good for words. As far as Banshee Beat/Patch-Amber comparisons? I can't compare them. The patch-amber hair gloss is down and dirty patchouli and amber and oh so sexy. Banshee Beat? it actually gives me a headache and I can't wear it This?? this is totally different...almost a clean patchouli if such a thing exists. Please, just buy it, it's awesome (and the word awesome doesn't even come close to how good this is).

I think myrrh might be a problem for me :-/

When it's in certain blends that have a lot more notes, I think I'm ok...but because this is just a few notes, I'm amping sweet powder like crazy. Don't get me wrong! It's a delicious powder...reminds me of a powder a rich lady might dust herself with (smells expensive). However, I can't wear straight up powder. I was hoping for more fruit!

I find it a little amusing how this scent has been said by so many to be similar to "____" commercial perfume. Because so many people seem gaga over this, I decided to throw in a bottle with my latest order (even though I sniffed it at D*C, I had no memory whether it was yay or nay). I should have listened to my non-floral-liking instincts. While this definitely does not come across as FLORAL, it most certainly comes across as commercial/mainstream smelling. (Not that there's anything wrong with that! I just shy away from those types...just personal reasons I can't really put into words)

rawgirl hit the nail on the head when she said Amarige! If you have ever smelled that scent, I think you will agree. Very expensive smelling, very formal and "fancy" smelling, if it's possible to smell fancy. Anyway, I can't wear this so it's off to a much more appreciative home!

I love Alecto for my cedary/woody scent.

Alecto (Excolo- The Kindly Ones): Unceasing In Anger. Olive leaf, raspberry leaf, vetiver and cedarwood.

It's tripping me out how varied the reviews are. I don't enjoy cinnamon in my perfume and I'm happy to say that I do NOT get cinnamon from Gorobble.

When first applied and for about the 1st 10 minutes I get a heavy, almost maple sugar-type scent. It doesn't smell burnt or toasty or even very smoky to me. After the 1st 10 minutes it morphs to straight up sugary sweet marshmallows and stays that way for *hours*. I love this. In fact, I love this so much, that the other night I drunk ordered 2 back-up bottles. LOL. (I keep telling DH my computer needs a breathalizer!)

I love this! Sometimes chocolate is iffy on me, but this one works! I think because this chocolate is melded so well with the other notes, plus it burns off rather quickly. After a while I get a dusty cocoa scent with a cedar and oakmoss base and it's great! Something about it is reminding me of Cupcake Spatter Pattern Analysis.

Need a bottle with next order pls!

So, I saw the link on the forum the other day and I ordered the two oils. I paid with Paypal. I did not realize that you should put your forum name down on the order form. I hope I am not in trouble! I did send an email to customer service, maybe that will fix it?

You should be fine!

This. Is. Awesome.

I adore my released version of Boomslang. I very often wear it to bed because it's so warm and nummy and cozy. This version is all those things as well only sexier because I smell a lot more Snake Oil here. This is great because I often layer my Boomslang with extra slathers of SO or SOBO. Now I don't have to layer anymore! This snake is so so sexy. just

ah! Just put this on (for the first time) to wear to work this morning and something in the back of my mind kept saying, "this smells familiar!!" and "you already own this and wear it regularly!" I was wracking my brain as to what it was reminding me of and all of a sudden, it hit me....Tweedledum. Almost exactly!

I'll hold onto it for a while to see if it becomes less like Tweedledum with time. If not, I may have to let it go. It smells great though!

I love this! The dark chocolate isn't overpowering...it's just right. The tamarind gives it a tart, juicy feel that almost reminds me of the filling in a chocolate covered cherry. Then you have the fig which at times can get a little high pitched; but once it's all calm and dried down, it's perfect. My only negative is that it fades super fast on me. I've already had to slather twice this morning (within an hour). I'm hoping as it ages it will stick around a bit.

5 out of 5!

Well damn. One day I'll learn that anything with "cotton" in it just won't work on me AT ALL. This is all cotton all the time. No musk, no patch, no red goodness. Just clean, headache-inducing cotton.

Must scrub now...

My review pretty much mimics Itrittipoe's review. This does remind me a LOT of Snake Oil or maybe something that ought to be in the Snake Pit. It's lovely! I don't get any mint from it. Just the musks and patch and gorgeous (aged) Snake Oil quality. I wore this to work last night though and it was almost too sexy for that setting. This would do best on a date with my husband or a night out on the town with the girlfriends. It's pretty amazing now, can't wait to see what it does in just a few months.

Must...buy...more!

I love this! Just like all the other reviews are saying it's peachy, strawberry sweetness. I do get a little of the cheesecake aspect. My husband seemed to really like it yesterday when I wore it shopping. He exclaimed, "fruity!" Which is a compliment from him. I'm so glad I have a bottle! This would be great in spring/summer.

All the notes in this sounded perfect to me. When I first put it on, it's hard to pick out individual notes. They blend incredibly well. It smells like nothing else I own or have smelled from BPAL before. If I had to pick one note that is standing out for me, it would be the sandalwood. But it's blending in with the other notes making it all one smooth, lovely scent. I love this and will be buying a bottle in my next order!! Just beautiful

I'm getting a lot of sweet fig backed by a lovely wood note. This is beautiful! I love wood, I love fig. This is right up my alley. Just trying to decide if it's different enough from other bottles I already own.

Cedar is one of my all-time favorite scents. Unfortunately, I don't think black cedar smells the same as the cedar in something like Intrigue (love Intrigue). This is dry and a tiny bit harsh to me. I honestly thought I'd love it, especially since I tend to love frankincense as well. It's going kind of bitter on me too. Darn.
