Not too big on apple scents but I liked the description. Starts off like a sweet apple scent with little spice. After awhile the scent turns creamy and smells like apple strudel hot out of the oven with a hint of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream melting in the warm juices. It pretty much stays that way and lasts for hours. The spices are light and the milk note just softens it up a bit to add creaminess. I like it and it's the best apple scent that I ever tried. I may hold onto the bottle for those autumn days when you just want to curl up with a hot cup of tea, wrapped in a throw, snuggled next to the cat.

Sadly I don't get the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice scent. On me, it's all caramel. No pumpkin or spice. And I was sooo hoping for that delicious smell.

I almost didn't see this in the box. I thought this might be a very sweet scent, but I agree that this is black licorice. I also can detect a bit of mint. A nice surprise. Love the label art. Adorable.

Juicy fruit gum about sums it up. If I was 13, I might like it.

I agree with the last post. I usually don't love florals, but seem to love the lab's lily notes. This is so pure, not overpowering or headache inducing. Just beautiful. The honey just warms it up. Along with Eos, Tiger Lily is among my favorite florals. Glad I got a bottle before it's discontinued.

Am I the only one that got popcorn out of this?? Weird. I was hoping for a light summer scent. I like honey, milk and don't mind powder. What went wrong?? It was a very warm scent on me. Not clean at all on me. I couldn't imagine wearing this in the summer cause it made me feel hot. I kept smelling popcorn, butter perhaps? I struck out on both bottles this time...Berry Moon and STinky.

I so wanted to love this. I just touched the cap of the bottle to my arm and my daughter said "whew, I don't like that". I got a blueberry scent, like the scent from the Blueberry shortcake dolls. Very fake and too sweet for me. I like Strawberry Moon much better for a fruit scent. I never got the green, which would have toned it down. Perhaps the fig also added to the sweetness. Sold off my bottle to someone who I know will love it.

Starts out like think mints and then the cedar come out and takes over. I prefer Tokyo Stomp to this if you want a chocolate mint scent. Chocolate scents don't really work on me, except maybe for Velvet. It was fun to try though.

This would be great in the dead of summer. It's a very clean smelling scent. I agree with everyone that it's not like the crap at Bath and Body Works. This is definitely cucumber, fresh and crisp. I like it but it fades quick. I would have to take a bath in this.

Strawberry Moon 09 is amazing. I usually don't do strawberry well. It smells fake on me. But this year's Strawberry Moon is delicious and authentic. It makes your mouth drool!

Sexy, Smutty, Seductive, Provocative... It's All in Here

Every time I wear Snake Oil and walk into Trader Joe's, I get stopped by people, mostly men. For the second week in a row, a male worker came up to me and said "I just had to tell you..you smell great". And it's not a pick up line since he was about 25 and I am 52. Yet, I can wear it to work and my female friends don't seem to notice it. Does anyone else get this reaction? -
Wet, I get the pineapple and coconut, but mostly the pineapple. As it dries the pineapple disappear and the coconut is the dominant note. Thankfully, it's not the coconut in Snow White that turned into a car freshener on me and made me gag. This is more like the coconut in Black Pearl. Not getting much florals but as it softens it's a nice blend of coconut and pineapple with a touch of vanilla thrown it. Not sure how I feel about this one yet since I am starting to think I like the idea of coconut, better than smelling like one. This is not as fruity and light as hoped, more smoky on me. Need to retest.

TKO- lavender and vanilla. Always puts me to sleep.

I wanted a floral scent that wasn't overwhelmingly strong and sweet. Something that smelled like lilies, lilac's or honeysuckle. I decided I was tired of trying imps and went ahead and purchased Eos without testing. A risky thing given most of the Lab's florals are sucked away by my skin's chemistry. I tried Tiger Lily and loved it but it vanished so quickly. I feared Eos would do the same. This is one amazing scent. The best of all the florals that I have tried, Black Lily, Tiger Lily, Tissue, Amsterdam, Flower Moon 05, 09, Danube, etc. etc. etc. This is pure honeysuckle. Can't really pick out the buttercup or jasmine, which is just fine by me. It's the type of scent that you get when a warm breeze kicks up and you smell the honeysuckle lingering in the air. Very warm and long lasting. This also has great throw, which is unusual also for me. I dabbed it on early this morning and it is still going strong 9 hours later. Doesn't morph either. This is the perfect spring time scent. I really lucked out on this one. Glad I took the chance. Love it!!

I never had luck with any of the Lab's strawberries. Most smelled like Strawberry Shortcake. With that in mind, I hesitantly bought Strawberry Moon based on willcall reviews. In the bottle it smells like strawberry puree freshly cooked. Tart fresh strawberries. No sign of that fake strawberry smell. Wet- it stays the same as in the bottle. OMG this is so delicious. A few minutes later it just about disappears...oh no, where did you go? About 10 minutes later, the fresh strawberry note is back! No sign of dandelion and very little green. Just luscious, slightly tart strawberries. As it dries 2 hours later the berries sweeten, but never become cloyingly sweet. Lucky for me it doesn't turn to candy. It stays fresh and tart. I usually don't buy berry scents. This is just gorgeous!!! Edit: Wore it today and it lasted all day. Didn't fade on me. Not much throw but that is usual for me with BPAL. So glad that I ordered 2 bottles on impulse!!
