    I find BPAL Snake Oil to be vanillic and exotic, like a very deep Shalimar but animalic. If you love Shalimar and other heavy orientals, you might like BPAL Snake Oil.

    Kudos to all that are able to wear this. I wanted to love this and was so excited after reading all the other reviews. But, this strangly turned to strong spice on me w/no vanilla at all. It grew...

    This is a really nice vanilla based floral oriental-- it's heady, sexy, and lasts all night long. I personally don't like vanilla, but this is otherwise a winner. And the lasting power is...

    This is one of my favurite oils from BPAL. Its so warm, sexy and uninhibited. The vanilla melds boldly with the indonesian oils to create a vibrant, sweet perfume. Do not miss a chance to try...

    I really wanted to love Snake Oil, as it is BPAL's most popular oil. Unfortunately, with my body chemistry it ended up smelling like one of those "imposters" versions of Calvin Klein's Obsession.

    I danced around my livingroom after I smelled this. It is relaxing, soft, and sexy. The vanilla melds to your skin and the spices keep things interesting. I love it. If you don't like vanilla or...

    I didn't care for this one at all. It was way too sweet and cloying. It was so sweet that it covered up the more exotic notes in the background. Update: after trying this one a few more times it...

    I am buying this one again...and i just tried it yesterday. This is one of the most beautiful vanilla blends I've ever tried, and I didn't even like vanilla until I tried Bpal's versions.

    Recieved as a freebie with my order. I've only worn it once, so I will update after wearing it a few times. I really didn't find it that amazing, smelled nice but not incredible. No unsolicited...

    Oh wow. Let me first make a disclaimer and say that hardly any manufactured scents smell good to me or on me - I have an extremely persnickety nose. However, I decided to try a sampling of BPAL...

    Snake oil is verry nice. On me its a warm, spicy vanilla scent. It lasts quite well, the next day I have just a hint of it left. This is probably close to a universally pretty scent, not too sweet,...

    Snake Oil just does not smell good on me, even though the description sounded so good, and so many other reviewers love Snake Oil. It is simply too, too sweet. Too bad.
