Smells like kerosene and play-doh. Wretched. To top it off, it burned my skin, leaving a big red splotch on my wrist.

I am a vanilla fiend and I can honestly say that Snake Oil only gets better with age--I've had my bottle for over a year now. It's a rich, creamy, spicy vanilla that is sexy and sophisticated.

To me it smells like stale cat urine and play dough. Really gross. I can't figure out why so many people love this.

This is my BPAL HG oil. Beth wasn't lying when she said it's a feel-sexy scent ! In the bottle, a bittersweet bouquet of notes waft up my nose, and I suspect that it's the Indonesian oil notes. ...

I bought a bottle of this without smelling an imp about a year ago. I hate it with the fiery passion of one thousand white hot suns. On me, it smells like spicy vanilla ass on wheels. It burns...

I was so excited about getting into this brand, I just got my swaps in the mail today and was so very disappointed in almost all of the scents. So sad :( Anyways, this particular scent really...

I once got my palm read in a voodoo shop off duval street in NOLA and this is exactly what that place smelled like. Actually, this smells like any hippy/voodoo shop I've ever been in. This is not...

"Indonesian oils sugared by vanilla". Well, I do get the Indonesian oils, but they smell suspiciously like the import kind carried in head shops. They smell great, rich, sweet, balsamic, but they...

I HATE this scent. It smells like an ash tray on me and almost everyone I know, with a little bit of old lady and cat pee thrown in there. I love BPAL, but this is one of my least favorites. I...

I'd give this 6 lippies, if I could. One of my all time favorites from any house. It opens on a rather medicinal note (particularly when freshly blended), but give it a moment to breathe...it...

Snake Oil (aged, of course!) is my go-to casual, weekend scent. I wouldn't wear it to work but it is great for a fun night out or anytime I want to feel naughty/sexy. After trying hundreds of BPAL...

On me, this is a very, very warm and almost resinous scent. The oil itself is very dark too. I get a lot of musk and spices, and if there's vanilla in here it's very non-foody, or else dominated by...

Do yourself a favor: buy a botte of this, stick it in a dark, cool place, and then forget about it for a year. Two years might even be better. A new bottle of Snake Oil isn't bad, but I don't...

This oil smells exactly like a musty old chest upon opening, after that it morphs into what seems like a head shop somewhere in Greenwich Village. It certainly is interesting, but not something I...

I love this spicy, vanilla scent with some incense. On me this starts out very spicy with a touch of vanilla. And gets more vanilla smelling as it drys down. In the end you mostly smell vanilla...
