Strong and atmospheric this one. And not so sugary as boozy for me. Maybe a skull rolling out of a pub floor with bits of tobacco stuck on it's sticky surface. In any event, it's not frivilous or for the faint hearted.

Loving this like I haven't love a BPAL perfume in a long time. A usual dilemma for me is the fact that my body chemistry eats up scent. But this lovely has lasting power on me. There is something in this one that reminds me of Bess and makes me feel nostalgic. It's a definite warm, emotional scent though with it's berry tones I could see this in summer as well.

Cake batter like alright. But with a rose note being prominent as well. Maybe there are ediable rose petals on the top of this cake? It is strawberry, but an underground strawberry that may have started life in a Haight Asbury head shop. So it doesn't quite feel like a child's cake, but rather a grownups version. The label most unfortunately printed too dark to distinguish the faces. Which might be just as well because photos of children mass distributed can have disatrous results.

Pooey. I am a total foodie and chocoholic so this seemed a natural. But I tell you it's stale brownie and nothing else. I kept using it in the hopes that somehow it would deliver, but it never did. I dislike this one more then almost any other BPAL scent I've used over the years. Stale and dry.

Patchouli is kept at bay by cherry. Nice patchouli, nice boy. I have gone through this bottle. It's one of the atmospheric BPAL scents which creates a mood and perfect for dark and dreary winter days.

As a foodie, I went for this. Buttery and rum strong. Not for the dieter this one. You'll be running for the cookie jar.

I so do not like rose notes but this just seemed intriguing. And it actually is a very delicate, classy scent. One the rose calms down and lets vanilla in the door it's delightful. Think edible rose petals on a wedding cake.

That's a perfect description and I have little to add except to say that All Souls has been a warming influence through the colder weather. And that it has a certain reasonance with the longer nights. Makes it all bearable.

OH baby. This is the one for Halloween. Buttery at first then welcome to a resiny cathedral where the fae and goblins dance till dawn. Get it and I mean that.

This is to die for and a must have for foodies. I nearly bit my own arm off. What is interesting is the cocoa combines so brilliantly with the amber and creates an almost incensy chocolate symphony. Perfect for Christmas and winter. I will have to reorder another bottle.

Way too spicy for me and how they call it sugar cookie is a mystery. When I think of sugar cookies I think of buttery vanilla creations. Pooey! Another issue is that label. I ordered several of the Yules and unless the picture gives it away you are lost trying to read the miniscule type which to make matters worse is a burgandy/red lettering on a black background. Insane. You said it! It's name is misleading, it should be "spice cookie!"

The stuff actually tingles on the skin, which is refreshing but a bit startling at first. I do like peppermint and I am a sweetie lover, but this one doesn't come off to me as candy as much as a mentholated rubbing oil. Not a hit with me and rather disappointing as I guess I was expecting a bottle of liquid candy.

This lovely concotion suits me to a T! And that's a captial T! I had ordered several of the Yules and was in a delirum with trying them out. The complaint here is the label which you need a high powered microscope to read. So tiny plus they used a burgandy/red ink for the word on a black ground. Someone was drinking to much eggnog in the design department I'd say, so that I wasn't sure which was which and had put Eggnog on not even knowing which one it was. As the day wore on I kept falling in love with it's sweet, comforting notes. Got the microscope out and identified it. This one is for foodies and for winter comfort seekers, not for free flyers who lack sentiment.

Ok, so this was a frimp that I got along with my large Christmas order. I knew nothing of this oul hag, didn't seek her out, conjure her up or anything, but here she is and she's quite the gal. Yes, resinous patchouli is a good description and I like her much to my surprise as generally I am a major foodie. But she's got style, so she does, and she makes an impression that is memorable. So thanks for this one and I will be ordering a bottle.
