straight sniff from imp this smells exactly like 21 did but with a good dose of cranberry... very mouthwatering and tantilizing; makes me want to take a little sip such a shame it doesn't last nearly long enuff for me

DLXXII (572) straight sniff from bottle this is sweet and slightly minty/ozone... once applied this stays sweet but gets somewhat of a bubblegum note... like that bubblegum we had as kids that had that sort of wintergreen note...can't recall the name of it but that is just what this is like...

Each bottle of Chaos Theory is truly unique, a fragrant fractal, and exercise in the joy of chance and uncertainty! Each is a one-of-a-kind, utterly random combination of scents, the composition of which is based on whim, mood and gut instinct. DCXXXVII (638) straight sniff from bottle this is a very gourmandy/foody scent...cookie-ish some spicy sweetness as well...this didn't morph much at all and unfortunately didn't last nearly long enough for my tastes so off to a better home she goes Previously reviewed by Aredhel.

oh wow!! thanks for this recommendation

wow!! being aged for this length it must smell amazing!!! thanks for the info everyone!!!!

No, I don't think Beth's announcement concerned that auction. I think it was directed at "professional re-sellers" and people who abuse the BPAL name by labeling auctions of materials that don't originate with the Lab as "for BPAL". I see...so is this an "authentic" bpal item from way back when before the lab ever came to be?

what is the deal with this??? i saw beth's announcement before and i am guessing it could be directly related to this auction?? sweet frankincense??

straight sniff from imp is hello juniper berries oh yes, this is most definitely a boozy scent with some serious nostalgic qualities lasting power is meh...not so good with my chemistry as it turns way too dusty edited to add....this is very, very similar to "the hamptons"

straight sniff from imp is a very mild, meaker version of zombi... once applied a deep earthy mushroomy type blend takes over... after a few minutes a touch of incense... a lot more earth comes forefront after 15 to 20 minutes .... not long lasting with my chemistry but i am betting my mom, the gardener will dig this one

straight sniff from imp is all about lavender, patchouli and vetiver.....lovely!!! once applied a bit of lime comes shining through....quite sharp yet gorgeous!! after a few more minutes the sandalwood is prominent...this mellows into a dizzying concoction that is positively astounding!!!! i love this to pieces!!!!! problee more of a dude like scent but so precisely "me"!!!!!

straight sniff from imp is extremely floral... holy toledo....once applied i am dying of the crazy bouquet of the perfume.... and it does not stop going full force....... strong and sooooooooooo not me.... good bye sweet thalia .... off to another home you go.....

straight sniff from imp... whoa!! heavy with the pine/juniper and is that vanilla i detect.... once applied the pine amps up hayoogely....slightly vanilla..... somehow this reminds me of tombstone minus the sassafras...must be that vanilla note..... meh...after 30 minutes the vanilla turns into pure play-dough....not for me at all

The scent of misty forests, damp alder leaf, and the gentlest touch of white rose. straight sniff from imp is sweet, sticky pine sap with a breath of minty delightfulness once applied the evergreen/pine amps up tremendously...reminds me a lot of hemlock but with a lot of added sugar... pretty but not very long lasting with my chemistry....maybe 20 minutes tops and then it is gone

straight sniff from the imp reminds me of dragon's milk yet sharper...more sweet applied, the lovely amber and heliotrope make their prescence know with heavy deep musk...and sweet red fruits.... this is indeed a strong blend and to me has a definite head shop feel to it but one that a woman in her 40's, 50's, heck; even 60's could wear i am loving this

straight sniff from imp is lemon and sandalwood.... !!! once applied the lemon amps up with honey and myrrh...oh so elegant!!!! i love the earthy notes of sage and orris root this blend is very complex and quite unique...it is questionable as to whether or not i need a big bottle...but i will enjoy my imp immensely

Orgiastic mayhem in the extreme: sweet strawberry and orange blossom distorted by carnation, black poppy and hibiscus. straight sniff from imp is smoky, strawberry incense... once on it mellow a bit and the poppy comes through and something like a sweet wine.... after 30 minutes or so, it has softened up considerably...a bit powdery...pretty! quite different and lovely and i am glad a lovely forumite frimped me with this

Ooo.. I must get in on these if the chance arises again! That is such a sweet thing for the lab to do! i don't think the lab has done anything like this in quite some time tho'...

straight sniff from bottle is very floral...slightly green once applied this little bottle packs some serious punch...s-t-r-o-n-g... a little dab'll do ya for sure... after 30 to 40 minutes a very pretty herby floral ... still going strong i may like this for a springtime walk in the rain

while i loved jailbait i had to send her off to a new home as anywhere i applied it turned into a bright, red, screaming welt...i have no clue what i could have been allergic to in that though...cuz it is all sweet and sugary and oh so yummy...of course now that i have a scent locket that would be a non-issue

Dark myrrh, white sandalwood, amber, hyssop, frankincense, honey, cypress, red musk, cardamom and saffron. straight sniff from the bottle is sharp, metallic and resinous... once applied the lovely myrrh comes forefront...following closely behind are the cardamom and frankincense...i could see this as being a male oriented blend but i simply adore it... after drying down the cardamom is very prevalent...then more herbaceous and resinous....slightly powdery at the end....looooooong lasting & very complex scent here...

CTIII - DLXXXV (585) straight sniff from the bottle is super sweet and buttery candied yams sprinkled generously with some cinnamon:lol: once applied an extreme boozy and buttery note accompanied by what seems to be a sugar cookie... after awhile a cognac note comes bursting through all in all this is a mouthwatering, gourmandy blend but the lasting power is meh...bummer...

straight sniff from imp this is the most refreshingly sharp citrus and scent that is perfect for summertime heat waves once applied this is positively astounding...while the citrus is forefront, the cherry blossom and tea notes come shining through beautifully and elegantly after 30 minutes or so this fades into the prettiest cheery, cherry scent with juiciness abound...fun loving; all about laughter and having a good time love it!!

straight sniff from imp is a very buttery, gourmandy almond omG...once applied this stuff is pure heaven...a perfect balance of the musk, myrrh and almond make this a delicious indulgence for me... strong and long lasting i am certain i need a big bottle of this delightfully gorgeous scent

straight sniff from imp is sharp, pungent, metallic fruit once applied the boozey honey wine note is most prominant; slighty incense-like...stays very sharp after 30 minutes or so i get rose note mixed with the honey...nice but not sure this is for me

straight sniff from imp is soury, tangy banana once applied, heavy duty lush florals...it must be the sampaguita blossoms i had such high hope for this because of the banana leaf alas, it is far too perfumey for my liking
