    I liked it! It's evocative and different without being way out there. It's a fairytale-type scent. Posted on May 2, 2006 on BPAL.org "Category: Foody/Grain/Honey Rating: 4/5; PERFECT for the...

    Powdery vanilla. How do those things even go together, but they do! Your go-to sleepy time fave, your pillow mate, your stuffed animal, your snuggley fabric softener scent. It could work in all...

    I love this scent. It's the only BPAL scent that I've kept after trying many imps and getting rid of all the others. I love having the dropper top for the bottle (request one with your order; you...

    Ugh! This made me nauseous for some reason - I bet it has one of the same notes that Paris has. It's a bit better than Paris, but still kinda gross on me.

    Got an imp of this to try first. This was super sweet, and I couldn't pick out what else it smelled like except sweet. The first time I tried it it wasn't unpleasant and I went about my night....

    I'm quite perplexed with this one. When it went on it was a gorgeous musky floral - really exotic and shadowy, as the description implies, with a great mixture of florals with no one floral...

    Although this starts out rather perfumey, it is perfumey in that good way that truly excellent florals are such as Quelques Fleurs. It also reminds me of Estee Lauder Knowing which I love. It is...

    Mab is a really deep creamy orchid. "Chinese Musk" is a listed note, and i think that's what gives it such depth and the sweet milky quality of the orchid and sandalwood is a wonder. This is one...

    I agree with bombedshell that it smells like picking berries in a field of wildflowers. Ultimately not for me though. I need some warmth in fragrances and this is a really "cool" scent.

    This is one of my absolute favorite BPAL oils; orchid, musk, and a touch of rose. I'm really surprised by comments that people thought there was lavendar in it, as.. there's nothing like that,...

    This isn't my favorite BPAL oil, but I do like it quite a bit. It's fruity without being foody, with a nice floral and musk base to it. A nice daytime fragrance.

    I agree with a lot of webvira's analogies. Yeah, this reminds me of a floral liqueur or something at first. I wish I got a lavender top note! But later it calms down into a smooth musky thing...

    A strong fruity floral. It's the unexpected fruitiness that ruined this for me, sweet to the point of smelling overripe. Still, I prefer this to most department store florals.

    Oh god, I soooo can't describe this one. YUM comes to mind, but I'm totally failing to pick out individual scents. It almost has a top note that reminds me of Angel, which makes no sense at all. (I...

    I am not a girl for florals but Queen Mab is one of the few I can tolerate over extended periods without becoming sickened. At first sniff this reminded me of a traditional department store perfume...

    Slightly sweet when first applied, very, very nice but way too complicated for my nose to break down the individual scents at the moment. Still very slightly wet, so may change as it matures....

    This is a very complex scent. I can pick out the jasmine in it. The other scents don't let it get too sweet though. Also a bit of berries, grass and something else. A really nice combination, an...

    I must be in the minority for not immediately falling in love with this. For me, wet it smelled like berry sweet-tarts with a touch of floral, when I first applied it smelt strongly of sweet-tart...
