    Goes on like laundry detergent, all green florals. As it dries, it develops a sharper leafy note that is more like real greenery, and florals come out a bit more, with more greenery and some lily...

    A total disaster on me. I have never yet had aquatic notes work, and Bayou is the mother of all aquatic scents, so the result was a predictably nauseating, Axe body spray type reek. This is...

    Smashing! Has a southern goth feel to the opening, after that the tropical white flowers add a little lushness & warmth.. they blend in & fade a bit into the dydown. I love the balance the drydown...

    Bayou was the first BPAL scent that I really took to. This scent has managed to completely capture the essence of Louisiana in a bottle. It is an aquatic scent that smells of moss with a light...

    Swamp blossoms and sweaty greens. Morphs into super florals. Not my flavor.

    I smell grapefruit up front. I don't like grapefruit as a rule....then a not-so-subtle aquatic note emerges along with a sweet candle-y marine airfreshener scent. I'm having a hard time progressing...

    <b>Bayou</b> is one of the few aquatics I like. It smells just like a bayou, too -- warm, slow-moving water full of swamp flowers, algae, moss, and so on. It reminds me of a day when 20 years ago...

    I adore this. On me, this is lush, wet and steamy - a humid scent. I can smell flowers and possibly grapefruit, as there is definitely an aquaticness to this scent. I can't pick out any individual...

    This scent really conjures images of pools hidden among big green leaves and blooms. I might expect a water nymph to smell like this. I smell water, but also warmth, moss and damp leaves. It is a...

    Since the description is on other reviews, let me just say that the opening does have a watery feel and there is a hint of moss, but the drydown is very hothouse florals and a bit tropical...

    This is the very strong, heady scent of tropical flowers, and it really does conjure images of being in a bayou. It's also a "hot" scent, and makes me think it's hot outside even when it's not. ...

    A sweet, honeyed, golden green scent. Impressively good at calling up a visual of dark green underbrush growing alongside the lazy murky depths of a Louisiana bayou.

    Water-logged florals swirling round. It's murkier than other BPAL green florals, this is no light spritz. Bayou has weight without relying to incense or resin to darken the blend. I have no idea...
