Vetiver hates me so much, and it is evident here...I sadly pull none of the other notes...

The fear of Halloween. Menacing Haitian vetiver, patchouli, and clove with a shock of bourbon geranium, grim oakmoss, and dread-inspiring balsams pierce the innocuous scent of autumn leaves. Went medicinal, kind of like a bandaid, on me

I wish the cream was more prominent...the cherry is dark and sickly, like Nyquil without plastic...

Love it! It's Beaver Moon with bourbon, Cake Smash with dark smoke...it's sexy and sweet and gawgeous!

One of my faves! This is very similar to Beaver Moon, so if you love that, this is for you! Sweet red velvet cake goodness, for sure...

For those of you looking for Crumpet Rebellion, look no further...here it is It is everything the description promises BUT there is one extra note that I amp, that I hate, and that was not mentioned... some derivative of anise or fennel or licorice is in this and it is just vile...imagine spilling a jagerbomb on some yummy toast...

I wanted to like this because I love milk and honey, but the baby powder is cloyingly sweet. No good on me...

Oddly, I'm drawn to this...none of the notes talk to me, except the ambergris accord (I'm a total whale sperm whore!!) but I really really like...maybe the chamomile I smell with the ambergris, I don't know...creamy yet a touch of spice and...not dirt, but terrain...

Yowza...I love it! Wet it is coconut and black pepper...swoon...as it drys it sweetens...the pepper goes away and the sugar comes to play...if you like tropical smelling drinks or suntan lotion, I think you will love this! I love it...more than Tiki Princess...

This is my 6th metamorphisis to try, and finally I think I'm in love!!! Let's see what happens... Wet: Wow...I smell orange and gold. Fall. Every note listed is present, fully and totally balanced. It's all one harmonious blend... What does banana taste like? Banana. What does Monarch smell like? Well...Monarch. It's all here making a new, glorious smell...the pumpkin, the amber, the mandarin, the sugar cane, all of it! Dry: Less pumpkin, but still very orange and autumn and yum. I loves the Monarch!

Wet: yummo brown sugar! And some sassafras...no clove or plum yet... Dry: And there it is...within two minutes this is nothing but clove clove and clove...ewwww...

I got number 533 and boy was I excited!! This is so damn sexy...suede and vanilla. Straight up! If you love Gunslinger Romance by Moxie Noveau, then you know what I'm talking about...fuzzy, sexy, mellow, creamy, and a touch of sweet...egads!

Wet: Sigh. All vetiver with a touch of coconut. I don't love vetiver...please go away... Dry: oh no, the vetiver has totally taken over. I shall go cry now...

Yup. No surprises here. Straight up mint and vanilla. More mint than vanilla...

A bit disappointed...this is very much coconut, which I love, but it's not very complex...I was hoping for something like Snow White, but I get a kind of one note, plastic coconut from this...

wet: wow! In your effin face with pinks and reds and sweets...very juicy and fruity and LOUD... dry: too sweet...too pink and syrupy...this is a chapstick for children on my skin, very sickly sweet...

I love this! I wish I knew what cassia smelled like...I'm getting yummy coconut shavings with a dusting of cocoa powder and the lightest, fluffiest white cake, not heavy and dense but more like...Angel Cake

Wet: OMG this is foul...it's apple bubble gum. Plastic, pink, and green, all at the same time...will try to wait for it to drydown but it's really heinous so it will be hard... Dry: Why do the scents that do so bad on me have incredible throw and lasting power? Whew...well, dry this is losing the plastic bubble gum and gaining some of the tea and thyme...but it's still a total no go...

GYPSY Bourbon vanilla, Egyptian musk, tonka, white sugar, and cardamom. Wet: yup, yummy bourbon vanilla with a touch of sweet sugar...no tonka or caradamom...but, why is it kind of minty? Like the sugar mint in Dorian... Dry: same as above but fading quickly...no throw, very soft and since my skins eats any and all BPAL, I'd have to reapply hourly... Dorian and or Green Tree Viper fans, I think you'll like Gypsy!

Very bright and juicy...90% blueberry with a bright burst of yellow squash blossom...

A dark floral, slightly resinous and definitely mossy. I cannot pick out a single note, but it's a nice blend and definitely evokes the imagery from the poem that accompanies the description.

Hmmm...maybe Black Phoenix or Snake Oil?

I say Green Tree Viper: snake oil meets dorian and makes love to a mint leaf...

I've heard that Boomslang of the Snake pits is quite similar.I would mix Boomslang with Antikythera Mechanism for the cocoa plus tobacco that is in Black Temple...also, Velvet Dogs Playing Poker plus Miskatonic University would be a good stab at it... I totally agree! It took three years and some begging to get a 1/2 decant of Crumpet Rebellion...and it smells pretty damn identical to Bread and Butterfly.I think the note (that sadly does not work for me at all) that is in common between the two, beyond the listed tea and pastry notes, is star anise or licorice or fennel or something of that nature.I amp the smell of Jager and whenever these notes are present, I can tell

I didn't know people were anti-BPAL...I thought there were those who know of it and, of course, loved it, and those who didn't know... Well I'll be damned... I recomend throwing in scents that are representative of the gamut: one cocoa, one tropical, one floral, one clean, one gourmand, one foodie, etc.
