    Sandalwood is definitely one of the notes I look for in scents. I was a little worried how my body chemistry would make the cocoa smell, but for no real reason. It's nice "Imp: DARK chocolate or...

    I love this and wore it daily for years, but my chemistry apparently changed and the warm sandalwood turned into peanut butter-y note on my skin. I'm still trying to track down bottles of an LE...

    It's a chocolatey vanilla yummy scent. I use it for layering along with other BPAL mellow scents. It dries to a sweet chocolate sandalwood. I wouldn't wear it alone, because I'm not big on...

    This is a curious scent, it's not like anything else I have ever tried. When I first apply it I get quite a sweet chocolate/cocoa like most other people. As far as I'm concerned this is a *good*...

    Oooooh, in the bottle this is pure creamy cocoa and vanilla with a touch of spice... When worn, this ends up really retaining the rich, decadent chocolately smell for a while, then mellowing out...

    Another of my favorites. The thin almost bitter chocolate note just blends perfectly with the myrhh and sandalwood. I usually hate incensey type scents, so my love for this is unexpected. ...

    I had been facinated with the BPAL concept for awhile (I was pretty gothy "back in the day" so their overall aesthetic definitely appealed to me). I bought a lot of imps on ebay and Velvet was my...

    In the vial this smells just like a jar of cocoa mix. I don't like overly foody-sweet scents so I didn't think I would like it. However as the myrrh and sandalwood emerge it becomes much less...

    On me, it smells like cookie dough mixed with insence. It's a warm, comforting scent. I love it and will get 10 ml soon. The scent stays all day long and I can still smell it after a shower.

    velvet is the perfect word for this. chocolate and sandalwood go well together! this is not as strong and sweet as you might think. and neither as chocolatey nor as woody as DSH bois du chocolat....
