This one shows me how different things can be evocated by the same scent. My grandma has a vine arbour that porduces little purple grapes. Not those big ones that are used to eat, but the small ones that are used to make wine. Grape single note is exactly that scent.

My skin loves florals so much! Lovely floral note, a bit powdery buy pretty strong.
-
This is a light floral honey on me, not the dark and solid one that I've got in my kitchen, but one of those light-amber and very liquid ones that I like to put in cold teas in the summer. Very nice and comforting.
-
Soft and sweet, I can smell a spicy bottom line. It's more a dry apricot scent than a fresh one. Did I say soft? My skin eats it! It's vanishing! But it's oh, so sexy... A warm and come-closer-to-smell-me perfume.

Sweet and strong floral, I really love this one! I need more! Gallons!
-
Soft, warm and sexy. I think that fig and tonka bean would do a perfect match. Very, very voluptuous in a mature way (not girly at all).
-
Wet it's dragon's blood and vetiver. Vetiver is green and dry, and dragon's blood is red and sweet... this is a nice ying-yang scent.
-
Conforting and almost masculine. I can smell patchouli. Very unusual, it's like going into a hippie shop. As it dries down incense and myrrh come out, and it looses a bit of the dry feeling that makes it so masculine. Really nice and not classical at all.
-
Wet it's osmanthus with a soft bottom line of roses and rosewood. Then, after a while, lilac and tea rose come out, but just a bit. Of all the BPAL blend's I've tried, this is the most classical one because the unusual notes (like the teak) can't be smelt in my skin. Intense and feminine.
-
Bitter-sweet, strong and with a woody bottom line. Sweet but not cloying, it's a very special scent, a bit dry at the end. I haven't smelt something like this before. Strange and lovely at the same time. Good lasting power. I've got a bottle coming!
-
Wet it's a perfect mixture of the dry fresh feeling of the champagne and the sweet touch of the strawberries. Dry it looses a bit of the fresh part, but that doesn't make it too sweet. Nice and conforting, but not a scent for me to wear every day.

... Their scent is the crisp, inviting bittersweet tang of cranberry with smoky dark lilies, heady, sensual musk, a tingle of ginger and a brush of Mediterranean spices. Wet, it's cranberry, lilies and ginger. A strong fruity scent, with cranberry on the top followed by the ginger. I can smell a bit of musk in the bottom line. Dry the fruity notes low a bit and I can smell the spices. A very strong perfume, with a lot of throw.
-
Soft and unisex. Starts with cedar, sandalwood and something more. It's very light indeed, I have to try it on my boyfriend.
-
The essence of the most debauched hunger encapsulated into a perfume. Desire beyond love, anguish beyond sanity. Nutmeg, sassafras, black poppy and myrrh. Wet it's spicy and dark, whit a myrrh bottom line. Dense like honey, soporific due to the black poppy. It has a bitter-sweet undertone. Dry it's very smoky (quite better for me). Good lasting power.
-
Sandalwood and white flowers. Dry some white roses come out, with a green bottom line, even a citrusy bit. A light and special perfume.
-
Wet it's eucalyptus and juniper. Fresh and medicinal, it fades quickly. I have to try it on my beau.
-
Surprisingly soft on my skin, I can smell a very, very light oriental mixture. Good lasting power, it's colour would be red.
-
Tea, delicious and fresh tea is the very first impresion I have. I can pick up the bergamot in the Earl Grey, and as it dries down goes deeper and darker, but still chaish. A gorgeous unisex, perfect for summer days.
-
Wet it's an intense perfume with jasmine and tuberose. As time goes by the jasmine goes stonger, and it still has a lot of throw. Keeps being very true on my skin, without changes. Really lovely jasmine. I'm in jasmine heaven!
-
It has thousands of layers, it's a very complex scent. I can smell the merlot with a scent very similar to wine, the roses, the violets and a really sexy bottom line. Wet the wine is stronger, and dry the flowers grow strong over the leather touch. It's one of the sexier oils I've ever tried!
-
The almonds are pretty strong when wet, as usual. Then they calm down and the clove comes out, along with the orange peel and nutmeg, changing this oil upside down. It's sexy and uplifting, but in a misterious way. Goes perfect with Lush's Black Magic!
-
This is a gift from the lab, so thank you very much! Fresh and a bit acid, it's really pomegranate martini. Very sharp. Dry it goes sweeter, but this one is not me. Nice as a home scent, I will use it like that.
-
Wet a lot of almonds come out, with a bit of incense. When it calms down, the almond note fades away leaving incense and heliotrope, making it a floral scent. It's curious how this oil changes, dry it hasn't any sweet note (and my skin tends to amplify them). I can feel a citrusy bottom (maybe due to the incense on my skin). It has something misterious indeed.
-
Wet it's lavender, rosemary, incense and verbena. Fresh but quite strong, with a lot of rosemary. Dry my skin eats all the notes, making it a strong rosemary scent. After all the pretty BPAL oils I've tried, this one doesn't work on me at all!

Fresh herbal-floral. It's a garden of country flowers by night. I can't pick any note beside the others, they are perfectly blended. It has something private and talks about intimacy. I can see a Victorian garden with ivy and little roses, in a full moon night.
