I ordered 2 at once of this one, unsniffed, because candy scents lately are the ones I reach for and love the most. I've worn this several times now and have wanted to review it, but am really having a hard time with notes - the jellybeans one, anyways! If anyone is into Lush, this makes me think of the "Rockstar" soap scent but not totally. I love that the sugar cookie crumbs do not take over and make this foody/bakery-ish as those scents can be cloying on me, even if delicious. The jellybeans note is some kind of fruit but not orange yellow black or green....maybe red or purple. Kinda like the purple jelly beans that are nondescript, have a sweet flavor, almost floral at times?? I like this scent a lot and do get the cotton candy but not so much frosting or cookie. LOVE!

Sorry to say, glad I started with a decant with this one. Sadly, I've had the same reaction as several other reviews - not really any cotton candy - more like a strange mesh of dragon's blood, carnation, with some sweetness, but on me it's still dry and kind of sharp. Not what I was hoping for but not horrible. I was really hoping more for something like Pink Wig Spray.

First sniff, there is an amazing blast of yes, I concur ZZ, black cherry, that slips away quickly to be replaced with a musky Midway (from Carnival Noir)-ish scent just bordering on play-dough but not reaching the edge, that I'd like more if it stayed a bit sweeter. Even though meringues have no scent to me (but I adore the taste and texture of them, having a mom with a European background who had great tastes in desserts and all the ones she exposed me to as a child. Meringues were a special treat from the bakery when I was little!), I imagine them when I sniff this. But I'm not complaining, it's delicious the short time it lasts on the skin.

SNOW WHITE A chilly, bright perfume: flurries of virgin snow, crisp winter wind and the faintest breath of night-blooming flowers. I wish I could afford bars and bars of this! Gorgeous gray blue bar, strongly scented like Snow White. Absolutely freaking amazing. I will have to save this for special occasions; so glad I got two bars!

BUTTERFLIES, FLOWERS, AND JEWELS ATTENDING Take the Fair Face of Woman, and Gently Suspending, With Butterflies, Flowers, and Jewels Attending, Thus Your Fairy is Made of Most Beautiful Things Inspired by the moment in time frozen in this photo - my fairy child, laughing and playing amongst gargantuan flowers. An ethereal, iridescent, twilit scent, sparkling with mystery and innocent joy: white patchouli with provence rose, delicate freesia, pink tuberose, jasmine sambac, orange blossom, butterfly musk, vanilla orchid, and delicate spices. I joined a decant circle for the Lilith blends because I wanted them all, but after reading the reviews, I knew this would be a bottle purchase unsniffed and glad I thought so - I ordered 9/18 and got it today! Now for the review: sophisticated and one of the more commercial smelling BPALs which there aren't a lot of to my nose - and I don't mean it in a negative way at all. I think A LOT of people will like this one, as it's edgy but still not something that a person might freak on and think it's too strong or headshoppy (patchouli component) or anything like that. I wish I could describe it better, but it's absolutely lovely! Balanced perfectly. ETA No notes stick out for me or make a huge presence, it just blends into one gorgeous scent - I can see people picking this for a signature oil! For anyone wondering, I do not smell rose at all. ETA2: I figured out what this reminds me a bit of- Eternity for Women by CK. The description of that perfume is: A contemporary floral bouquet of freesia, white lily, narcissus and sandalwood.

I am getting a soft, creamy floral from this - not sure what flower/flowers....jasmine? lily? Can't wait to see other reviews of this one.

This is straight up Midway or even Mouse Circus, (I smell popcorn too!) in atmo form. Love it, wish I had 10000 bottles!!!!!!!

Poor Monkey from the Yules!!

So happy I had a chance to get this one - a blind buy after reading the reviews here, and it is a gorgeous as I had hoped! The fig sweetens up the sandalwood - those are the notes I smell the most. LOVE!!!!

Just now sampled my bottle and wow. I normally despise chocolate in perfumes (but wanted to support the cause and loved the name), but wow, this is great, deep but sweet chocolate with to me, the lab's champagne note. Dries down to a sweet but dusty chocolate with the fizzy edge. LOVE.

I will PM you a link of one that was released from another etailer yrs ago, I was so bummed I could never get it as it sold out!

Def. grapey, in the vein of WILF and Smut, but not as sweet. Very nice, I think I'd prefer to layer it with something sweeter though as the clove dries it out a bit.

What every amazing review has said. I LOVE THIS!!!!! I'd order more if I didn't have so much BPAL already. I made a rule I am no longer buying back up bottles, and with this one, it's going to be really hard not to.

This is Marshmallow Poof's oder, sophisticated sister. I swear I am getting a very light floral and/or musk in this, tinged with marshmallow vanilla sweetness. Though it stays close I can smell it on my arm over an hour after application. Very pretty and not what I was expecting - a lot more complex than I expected after previously reading reviews!

I LOVE THIS - tried my decant for the 2nd time this morning (remembering I liked it when I first tried it and had forgotten I had it) and ran and ordered a full bottle to add to my pies before it disappears!!!

This scent makes me HAPPY. I don't even know how to describe it but it's red, fruity, candle like, smells like a drink, and some how reminds me of Red Moon 2004 all at once. It smells nothing like Red Moon don't get me wrong but there's something in this that has to have been in that blend. I may need more of this!!!

I don't know if I applied too much but this is getting a bit to heady for me atm. When first applied, I smelled something I remembered from Go To Sleep, Darlings. This is a pretty scent but something is going a bit too foody for me (and almost something burnt), like pastry/caramel/syrup, and the floral is a bit too much on me. This is straight from the mailbox so will try it again in a week or so!

This reminds me a lot of WILF/Luna Negra (2011 version) Gorgeous!

I agree with the review above - it also reminded me of the smell of that white thick paste we had yearrrrs ago in Kindergarten! It loses its sweetness after being on a few mins (I got a blast of almond first applied) and on me becomes a bit almost anise-like. I like it though, in a weird way. Really goes with the concept and a good job, I think!

I don't even have TKO oil but I knew I would love this and I do. I wish I had gotten more than 1 bottle. I want to spray it everywhere!!!! This would be such an amazing item to have available all the time. I fear the day I run out of this. My fave atmo ever!

Sadly, this was more faint orangey bubblegum (lotus?) than cotton candy on me. Very thin, pale oil that seems to disappear minutes after application on me. I really wanted to love it but I think I like my recent Chaos Gourmand sweet candy scent better. ETA: This review sounds super negative and I don't mean it to be. I think I just expected something more cotton candy-ish and I should realize the lab rarely do "simple" or even more synthetic type blends which I am used to with cotton candy scents - this was just more than I wanted but I am sure others will love it!

Every single order placed with Black Phoenix Trading Post from now (September 2) til November 2nd will receive an imp of the Last Squished Jelly Bean. -No description I had a feeling this would be licorice and I was right...funny because I always avoid black licorice like the plague and black jelly beans have always grossed me out! But this one is a sophisticated, black licorice, and I swear I detect a mint/tea note with it too.... Love it for the novelty, thank you BPTP!! But don't think I'll be slathering the little bit I have in the imp... (Label art is adorable too!)

Bottle 1 - fruity, soft Midway or Mouse Circus. Lovely. Bottle 2- 3rd retest - strong clean mint at first, linen maybe, tea, white flowers??? 6/24/15- per an email from the lab, these are bottles 26 and 28, no idea which was which though.

6/24/15- per an email from the lab, this is bottle #8!** I bought one hoping for no leather, but that's what I got - all leather and musk to my nose, even after all these yrs not great at notes, esp. leathers bc I don't care for them. Not me, will need to put up for swaps. ETA with more dry down the leather goes away and left with brown (not red to my nose) musk it seems.

First of all, Loved to Death packaged very nicely - black tissue paper in the box and sent the precious in a very nice (not cheap looking, like some can be) velveteen bag - very nice touch. On me, this is very spicy - like a high end expensive candle/tart or spicy room freshener scent they sell for fall or winter. The vanilla is there but very hidden on me. The spices - cinnamon/clove REALLY stand out of my skin (though not sharp at all) as does the beeswax, hence the candle comparison. I'd love this for a room scent, but sadly it isn't working for me as a skin scent. It is very complex and not cheap smelling at all, which i don't mean/want to imply when I mentioned room scent/candle/tart. Just a bit too spicy for me and not what I really look for when wearing perfume oils. I'd say throw is medium to light.
