to me it smelled like bug spray right out of the bottle. I'm beginning to think BPAL isn't for me..

okay, I was a little quick to reply seeing as I tried it right when I got it in the mail. perhaps it was too cold.
in the bottle: really sweet, not in the cotton candy way, but not in the bad way either. and the slightest hint of bug spray.
wet: same, with some talcum powder.
dry: BRUT??? man, my chemistry is insane.
