I really like this blend, and it smells divine on me, but it doesn't last very long at all. I usually don't have much of a problem with getting good wear out of my BPAL oils, but this one just...

My bottle is from the most recent Yule update (2011.) As I mentioned in some of my other reviews, I really adore BPAL's rose-based scents, and since everyone said this was basically the freshest,...

Another beautiful, interesting rose. When I first got in to BPAL I wanted to try all of their rose scents to find something that made me as happy as Stella McCartney's Stella. This is a...

I really adore the dragon's blood resin note, which is totally weird and it took me completely by surprise. At first, while trying to keep an open mind, I kept thinking "ew blood so gross who would...

Snow White was one of the first BPALs I looked for on eBay. It was also my first LE 5ml bottle that I purchased. Snow White is very pretty, and even though there's no apples, it definitely evokes...

Dorian is magical. Some detractors and critics of BPAL say that all of their scents smell like a hippie-filled, patchouli-burning head shop right in the heart of Haight-Ashbury in SF in the...

I have never had a perfume, oil or otherwise, that lasted on me like Haunted. I was actually quite shocked when I could still smell it so long after I put it on. It wasn't the faded, soft whiffs...

Prior to Snake Oil, I can't say that I was a fan of vanilla-type scents. A lot of vanilla things have an undercurrent of coconut in them to keep them smelling liked baked goods, and that usually...

I am in love with this scent but I can't find it anywhere and it lasted about an hour on me. Need to find something comparable because it could have been my HG!

Nice summer fragrance, but unfortunately, it does not last long on my skin. Smells a lot like Elizabeth Arden Green Tea , but I think Embalming fluid is a little less sweet, which I prefer.

BPAL 's milk note hates my skin! This fragrance sounded wonderful in it's description, but I cannot wear it at all. On my skin it opens with the scent of white linens / paper and roses, which isn't...

Having no prior knowledge of the enigma that is BPAL, I swapped for an imp of wolfsbane. Talk about love at first sniff!!! This scent is dark, woodsy, and just plain CARNAL. But not musky at...

I got this in a set of imps, and of the ten I got, Pele is easily my favorite. BPAL calls it a blend of "muguet and Hawaiian white ginger enveloped by warm, damp tropical blooms." I don't get...

In the vial, Eat Me smells like madeira cake stomped into the carpet. Like with Bones Trombone, another cakey concoction, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab’s cake accords are rather thick on the carpet...

Sadly it doesn't work on me. I get a sticky peanut oil base scent with fragrance on top. There are nice dark musks and a definite sugar note, but it's not that far off cheap headshop oils and...

Notes: Amber, heliotrope, golden sandalwood, peach blossom and vanilla bean.
When I first bought it about two years ago, the peach dominated over all the notes and left me with an oil that...

Warm patchouli, as sugary-sweet as patchouli can get, rounded out with resins and woods -- I think I get some amber, cedar and sandalwood. You might think it would smell like a big heap o'wood, but...
