    Meh. BPAL, whatever they might claim, is not using only essential oils and esoteric exotica. They're using the occaasional dash of inexpensive essential oil, odd middle-eastern mixes (Madini and...

    This is nice, if a bit simplistic and linear. It smells like sweet, sticky cinnamon on me. A very reddish-brown colored scent, with swirls of gold. It's too foody for me, so I'll finish off my imp...

    Chimera is described as "the fiery, volatile scent of cinnamon, thickened by myrrh, honeysuckle, and copal." It has become my new favorite fragrance! On me, it's warm and rich, definitely...

    A very nice winter scent. Too much cinnamen at first but it gets lovely and creamy afterwards thus it sweet and a little spicy. This could be great in hot weather too if you are somewhere very...

    I just got my imps ears and was disappointed with this one - the cinnamon is too sharp - smells more like a room freshener to me!! not creamy enough.

    I love it. Very sweet cookie smell. The cinnamon and myrrh blend nicely to create a warm, spicy scent that leaves me feeling magical.

    Why did I wait so long to try this?! I think "cinnamon" scared me away. I was thinking of a woody, dry cassia cinnamon scent. But this?--- Took me right back to the doughnut shop where I used to...

    Wet, Chimera is spicy-sweet cinnamon buttercream. Yum. As it dries down, it becomes more of a spicy, cinnamon-honey scent. Also lovely. After a few hours, it turns to cinnamon play-doh. Not so...

    Cinnamon Play-Doh. Ick. And it burns my skin. Will try it on my hair and see if it retains the lovely scent from the vial, but on my skin, it's terrible!

    I'm a huge fan of BPAL and this is one of my favorite blends! Smells like cinnamon and sweets, maybe cookies or cake. BUT it isn't too sweet or cutesy, it's also spicy. It has this energizing...

    I swear, this is exactly Dragon's Milk Lite. The same gorgeous sweet resinousness (I guess Myrhh + copal = dragon's blood to my nose) mixed with Sugar Cookie, only not as rich and pervasive. This...

    I thought I hated incense in fragrance (think nag champa) but I'm loving the myrrh in this as well as in Velvet. Myrhh isn't heavy or headshoppy at all, which is what I would tend to expect from...

    Chimera is my first cinnamon based scent and it's also one of my favorite BPAL scents. It's wonderfully foody but not too sticky sweet or unwearable like some foody scents can be. The very...

    An excellent fragrance for anyone who likes cinnamon. It smells very much like cinnamon, but isn't overly foody. I'm not sure how BPAL achieves that feat. One caution, this oil can cause skin...

    I bought a bunch of imp's ears from BPAL, and they sent me even more samples than I purchased. So I've got a ton of imp's ears, and have been pulling them out randomly. Chimera is the fifth, and...
