Finally found a Jungle dupe in the GC catalogue- Havana! It is a little fruitier and sweeter but they are very close once the oil settles into your skin.

Just tested "Sed Non Satiata" tonight and it is very similar to B&BW's "Creamy Nutmeg"... even though no spices are listed it smells spiced and creamed in the same way that Creamy Nutmeg smells spiced and creamed.

What is similar to Loviatar? Finally found a scent the boy likes but it's been discontinued

I posted this in the last thread but it may be more appropriate here! Ripe juicy fruits with a woody floral background. I've never smelled any eucalyptus or mint in this blend. J-Horror: stargazer lily, white sandalwood, chrysanthemum, and shincha, with white mint, eucalyptus, licorice bark, and blood orange.

J-Horror: stargazer lily, white sandalwood, chrysanthemum, and shincha, with white mint, eucalyptus, licorice bark, and blood orange. surprisingly really fruity and tropical smelling. there is no mint or eucalyptus, i would say it's all tropical fruit (would not have guessed or picked out orange individually) layered over woody lily. It's my go-to summer scent.

Blossoms in Springtime-Vanilla bean and vanilla blossom, golden honey, antiqued amber, beeswax, copal, lotus blossom, and helichrysum. Only faintly floral to my nose and is actually mostly sweet vanilla and honey. There's juuuust enough soft florals in there to make the scent complex and keep it from becoming too cakey. Similar to Beaver Moon but with amber and soft flowers. Beaver Moon would also be a great milk/cream scent.

In the imp, smells very gender neutral, sharp and herbal. Drying on the skin, it is a dead-ringer for Thierry Mugler's Angel. Half wet, I smell tropical coconut and pineapple on top of angel. After a few hours, it still smells EXACTLY like Angel, but without any of the chemical artificial notes in the Mugler scent. Lawful is slightly less cloying and I actually prefer it. I have found this to be the most complex of all the RPG scents I've tried so far. It's musky sweet fig and vanilla on me.

In the imp, it smells like my box of imps. I thought I might be smelling it on the paper label, but it smells that way wet on the skin initially. The drydown is very sweet and foody, it reminded me of Pecan Pie... maybe that's the walnut? There is a Creamy Nutmeg air freshener at Bath & Body Works that it reminds me of, if it were less creamy and a little darker. I couldn't really tease out any particular notes, it's mostly walnut, fig and "pink clove". The bamboo, chamomile, magnolia and musks are in there somewhere, but I can't smell them individually (I'll also admit I have no idea what bamboo smells like). It gives it a perfumey dimension, but overall I found this to be a foody, and not a woodsy, scent. It's not really for me, I just found it to be too sweet. You will like it if you are a fan of Sugar Skull.

I've had this imp for a few years now, so it's aged a bit. Wet: Bright and citrusy with an undercurrent of cologne. As it dries woody, cola-like notes begin to emerge. There is a distinct "fizzy" top note which I'm guessing is the ginger. Dry: Rooty ginger ale. There is a dirt scent underneath everything but it's very subtle and reminds me of hotel amenities. It's not a bad thing, some of the dirt scents like Nosferatu make me gag so if you've had bad experiences with dirt scents in the past don't be afraid to try this. The leather in this scent makes it lean a little more to the masculine end of the spectrum but a woman could still wear this beautifully. After an hour: This has morphed into a very soft and slightly spicy cologne. Gone are the fizzy citrus notes, as well as any undercurrent of dirt. It's very pretty but not the ginger ale dry down I was hoping for.

I will give my first born child to the person who can provide me with a BPAL equivalent of Lush's Jungle conditioner. I keep a sample of the conditioner in my undie drawers but the product is just so damn hard to use! No clue what the notes are, sort of woodsy and tropical but can't really compare it to anything else.

I am usually not a fan of rose fragrances, even though I love the smell of rose bushes. Outside of my house, are four gorgeous rose bushes that produce huge, red, fragrant blooms that smell different from roses at a florist, and different from any rose notes I've smelled in any perfume. The Fainting Couch smells like those roses, and I was beginning to think it was impossible. I would definitely buy a bottle if it were to be released.

I was so sure that I'd love this spray, so my expectations were pretty high. I was expecting a honeyed, golden amber incense. Instead this was a much woodier scent. It almost smells like pine. It's definitely incensey, but it's not sweet at all. It is nice, and it's very different from the GC room sprays. However, I do not *need* to have it like I thought I would.

In the bottle: sweet, creamy vanilla. Smells almost cakey, it's actually very foody. Dry on skin: the foodiness dissipates due to the pine and amber, and this morphs into something I can only describe as perfect. The vanilla is giving the pine, amber, and patchouli a rich creaminess. I'm not familiar with the fig note so it could be in there somewhere, but I do not detect any neroli (which smells like dial soap on me), or any vetiver. Overall: Absolute love. If only it weren't LE.

In the bottle: Wow, this smells EXACTLY like Judith and Holofernes. It's sweet, smoky, resinous, and incensey... completely captivating and gorgeous. On: It appears my skin amps leather, which I couldn't even detect in its wet stage. It's a very nice leather, soft and sexy. This is a very unisex scent, and I think this would also smell fantastic on a man. Alone, it reminds me very strongly of Loviatar with a golden amber and a touch of vanilla. Overall: Not what I had expected, but gorgeous none the less. Probably my favorite of all the leather scents I have sniffed so far.

Maybe Bengal? Anyone have any dupes for Lush's vanilla line?

I think Lilith is a great black dress+red lipstick scent. It's like a really heavy dark red, super super sexy. Mme. Moriarty and Lust also evoke this for me, but Lilith has a very predominant wine note with a just a wee bit of attar of rose (the only rose that doesn't go wonky on me) to keep it from being too fruity and sweet.

My boyfriend's favorite scent for him is Fenris Wolf, he's not a perfume kind of guy either but he loves this stuff. Death Adder is really sweet, not sure if your husband is into that. Other good guy scents the man seems to like are De Sade and Iago. He also loves Luperci, Brom Bones and German Expressionist Horror, but those are LE. For falling asleep, TKO is supposed to be really really good but I haven't tried it yet. There's also the Somnium line which can be found here: Sleep Blends Sorry I can't help with the laundryish recommendations, it's not really my bag but I heard Dirty is supposed to be good for that kind of thing. Though you might like aquatics like Sea of Glass and Tempest.

I actually would not have guessed a single note in this blend if there was not a list. It does smell ethereal and bright and flirtatious. Sniffing the bottle, I smell mostly fruit... a really sugary orange... this orange is not zesty, sharp, orange peel oil. In fact I think I would have mistaken it for mango or guava had I not known. I can't really think of anything to compare it to. Maybe a very feminine Jabberwocky that actually lasts longer than 2 hours with lily instead of pine and a more sugary orange. Hmm... that's not Jabberwocky at all any more is it? =/ Definitely a summer scent, I'd say. Refreshing and sexy, and the boyfriend's favorite. He actually got upset when I said I tried to swap my second bottle for Splatter Comedy, haha.

In the imp, there is a very prominent menthol/eucalyptus kind of note... which almost always disappears on me the moment it touches my skin. I'm left with a pleasant, spicy, dragon's blood. I'm almost certain there is cassia in here because the spiciness is of the red hots candy variety. The scent is actually pretty light, the dragon's blood isn't as deep and heavy as it is in other blends. It's almost refreshing. The boyfriend liked this one, I feel pretty neutral about it.

Being late to the BPAL game, I missed the naughty/nice inquisition but was fortunate enough to sniff Snowblind, Bah!, Gluhwein, and Humbug at the DD trunk show. I noticed that in the bottle, Snowblind and Humbug had a similar quality... a kind of creamy wetness that seems to stick to your nostrils. It must be the vanilla... it's different from BPAL GC vanilla which I ADORE. Whereas the vanilla in Golden Priapus and Snake Oil smells truer to an actual vanilla bean, the vanilla in here smells much creamier, more candy-like. On me, Humbug is a very creamy anise. It reminds me very much of these hard, white, sugar candies that had an anise seed in the middle. Nestled into the creamy, vanilla exterior is the bite of a gorgeous, crisp anise seed. Unlike the previous poster, this was mostly creamy vanilla on me, tempered by the anise. It's almost identical to Snowblind, but with anise instead of mint.

Anyone have an equivalent for Lucky You for Her?

My boyfriend's Mom got frimped some Pain and I asked him to sniff it and tell me what it smelled like and he went, "EUGH, painful. PAIN IS PAIN."

Yeah, my bottle smells like pickles and coconut! I've never understood what people like so much about it, but maybe I just don't have the right kind?

I would disagree with Perversion, it's just too light. I'd go for something darker like Lust or Lilith.

My bf came with me to Clearing out the Cobwebs knowing I liked honey. Once the crowd cleared around the more cryptically named prototypes he picked up CD023 and went, "Sam, smell it.. it smells like honey. You like honey!" I sniffed it and it did smell like honey, really light delicate honey... though my nose was a little disoriented from everything else. I kind of regret not giving it at least a skin test, but the code named prototypes just seemed too confusing to me, haha. On the paper my notes were, "light, honey, foody, delicate". Whereas Beaver Moon is sweet in a more garish way, this was sweet and foody in a lighter way.
