aphrodisms Report post Posted September 8, 2021 Lovely vanilla cream with that Snake Oil behind it. Snake oil just smells like vanilla’d car to me, so the overall effect is like eating delicious vanilla ice cream in a car - somehow nostalgic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frills Report post Posted September 11, 2021 First on, this smells like cream. Like a bowl of cream with a touch of vanilla in it. I've never smelled any perfume that smelled so spot-on creamy. I like it a lot, but I'm wondering where the Snake Oil is! After it's been on a little while, there's just a hint of Snake Oil's spices but it's still bowl of whipping cream waiting to be made into a dessert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dancingchair Report post Posted January 14, 2022 2018 version Snake Oil smothered in sweet cream with a hint of honey. The musk and spices of Snake Oil keep this from being cloying. It's not as strong as other Snake Oils or BPAL honey perfumes so it's pretty wearable. It's very snuggly, I like it! I tried this next to Womb Furie, and Womb Furie is way more honey with less Snake Oil. They are different enough that I'm happy to have both, but I slightly prefer Womb Furie because I love the honey note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estamets Report post Posted June 29, 2023 Quote Snake Oil with sugar, honeycomb, and thick vanilla cream. This is a beautifully gentle snake oil. The honeycomb is strongest for me, then sugar, then cream. The Snake Oil is barely there. Unfortunately, my skin eats the heck out of this, and I get no throw or longevity. I have taken my bottle with me out on the town, and find that I need to re-slather every 20-30 minutes to get even the faintest whiffs. I made the very sad decision to pass this on, hoping it finds a home with someone who gets more sniff for their buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtysugarglider Report post Posted July 2 (edited) On me, this starts as a fainter version of Snake Oil, with frustratingly little throw. A couple hours in, now it's a sweet, creamy honey with a smidge of Snake Oil. It's beautiful, but I still have to be inches away from my skin to smell it. I suppose my experience with this is the same as @Estamets unfortunately. 😭 Edited July 2 by dirtysugarglider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrioncupid Report post Posted Tuesday at 08:30 PM (edited) (2018 ver) (arrived today, will update if there' a big change) i agree with others when they say there's a hint of something lemon-y in here! and i also agree with others who mention that this is a rather light and delicate scent, completely the opposite of the notes list and frankly the label art (although i'm a fan of it of course). i don't get any of the honey i think, but i really don't mind as honey notes tend to go grossly, overwhelmingly sweet on my skin. i think it's mainly the snake oil and the sugar that's coming through for me. really, really love it as it is now, i hope they bring it back for this year's lupers! edit (12/03( man… i hate to say it but i think i like snake’s kiss better than regular ol snake oil… snake’s kiss, for all it’s heavy sounding notes— is actually quite a delicate and airy scent. it’s less of a passionate french kiss and more of a chaste butterfly kiss on the cheek. some other reviewers on the forum mention a sort of lemon-y aspect to the sugar and i get that as well. reading that initially threw me off of the blend and i dismissed it as something i wouldn’t like (before i had it in hand), but hoo whee was i completely wrong. there’s a lovely combo in here, i suspect that lemon sugar and a hint of the snake oil itself that combine to form a sort of… bright lemony tea scent. i’ve also seen someone mention that it’s dorian adjacent, although i haven’t tried the notorious dorian itself— i can definitely imagine it smelling like this. not to mention this is the only honey scent that has worked on me, and worked AMAZINGLY well no less. it’s straight up honey from my huge kirkland bottle in the kitchen, it’s rich and floral and golden without being syrupy and overbearing like other honey notes i’ve tried. THIS, is what honey smells like. the honeyed aspect wasn’t very strong at first, and i thought it wouldn’t show up at all, but it just needed a little time to come out. but when it did, i felt like i was instantly transported to my kitchen. standing in front of a perfect cup of lemon’d ceylon tea and stirring in my usual frankly, irresponsible amount of desired honey. the vanilla cream aspect of it is a little shy (in snake’s kiss at least) doesn’t really smell very lactonic or creamy to my nose, but i do quite like BPAL’s vanilla cream note regardless. it worked really well for me in their just before penetration as well [Pink fig and guava soaked in vanilla cream.] overall, snake’s kiss is a resounding smash hit for me, and i really REALLY hope they bring it back for this year’s lupers!!!
