This shot right up into my top 10... Dark Cocoa, Patchouli and musky woods...Oh my goddess. Yes - this is a filthy Patchouli ala #occupy but the cocoa is the stronger note of the two. The dry down is glorious even though the cocoa and patchouli are muted - it turns into a mahogany/teaky skin scent which is divine. If I had unlimited funds and had gone to Bat's Day I would have picked up at least 10 bottles of this (if that's allowed). I am SO thankful to my Bat's Day Fairy for picking this up for me...I am forever in her debt. This is one of the most fabulous oils I have ever put on my skin, period. 10/10 ETA: Dec 2013: so, I think my skin chemistry has changed since I quit huffing cancer sticks...this starts out cocoa and mahogany and gets a bit dusty in the dry down...no patchouli in sight. :-( I still love this but not as much as I did last year.

This is marvelous. Beautiful white tea with just a touch of sage underneath to give it an herbal tone. Sprays wonderfully! I used 7-8 sprays (I have pretty long hair) after I towel dried my hair and this detangles like a charm as well as scenting and shining my hair. I am addicted. Now I really need a job so I can buy ALL the hair glosses!

Oh this is delicious. Strawberry Moon '09 is one of my fave lunacy blends and I have to admit that I was a bit leery about this one due to the honey but it is so good. Sugary, extremely creamy strawberries...YUM. Reminds me of Kitty minus whichever note I didn't like...
-
I had a decant of this used it up and then bought a full bottle. This works better than TKO to relax me and help me clear my thoughts so that I can sleep. I smell every note listed which is wonderful, but the Chamomile is the strongest. I love this. It relaxes my muscles almost instantly and alleviates headaches when I have them. LOVE.

How have I not reviewed this??? This is my favorite BPTP Atmo Spray...it smells just like the outdoors on a crisp Autumn afternoon. I don't smell soil or dampness...I just smell Autumn chilled air (with no mint thank goodness!), acorns and lots o leaves. Autumn Grove Atmo Spray and Marshmallow Pumpkin Bath Oil are tied for my favorites.
-
Slightly sweet/syrupy Honeyed Grape, hint of wine, hint of Thyme on the dry down on my skin. This is SO good...YUM. layers nicely with Urd, Snake Oil and quite a few other oils...including the one that shares the same name Can I say it again? This is SO good.
-
I was able to try this last year thanks to a wonderful forumite who sent along a small decant! Yup - Vanilla/mint. Icy. Yummy. Seems like it would be a great choice for rubbing in to sore spots too! YUM. So glad I got to try this!
-
This is very Golden! I'm so glad I got to try this - it is gorgeous! Sophisticated vaniila and amber...just lovely.
-
I really wish the scent had stuck around longer because it is wonderful. If I could pick one of the bubbling bath potions to turn into a perfume oil or a bath oil or a room spray it would be this one. Fruity Opium Tar...delicious. But...no bubbles, no fizzing, barely any scent after it hit the water, and I have an uber-sensitive nose. Perfume oil or bath oil please!!!
-
This is very creamy with a touch of Teak - wonderful as a moisturizer and decadent in the bath, but I prefer Castitas to Glowing Vulva...not exactly sure WHY - they both smell different (obviously) but similar enough for my nose to pick a fave out of the two. Still, great stuff!
-
I LOVE this spray. I feel like I'm walking into a room/area where spice cookies are being baked, incense is being burned, and Gypsies are dancing! Magical! The name is spot on, and I am SO glad this is GC. Need a bottle, but need a job first!
-
Why do I smell VETIVER? Why? I love all of the notes here, and am so happy to have an atmo spray with moss in it since I love the smell but cannot wear it. But there's something off here...not evil, just off. Eh...it's ok if I don't really like one or two if the rest are amazing, right?
-
I have a decant of this and use it occasionally in the kitchen for something different. This has a very similar feel to The Decrepit House perfume oil...they don't smell similar, but they seem to have the same vibe going on. This is almost too much for my nose (I actually had to water it down a bit - I know, I know...) but it smells great after it has had a chance to calm down and adjust to the space. I cannot describe the scent - it is warm and cold at the same time, and the word Mahogany keeps popping into my head. Pretty good, and I will definitely use up my decant. Edited because scents DO NOT clam down. Nope...they just don't. I'm not dyslexic I swear...
-
This is my go-to spray for bedtime. Rose, orris a hint of black tea and I detect some lavender (maybe it's just wishful thinking???) in there as well. This smells SO good - very Victorian, very lush, very comforting. I'm glad to have a bottle of this, but I'm thinking it will go quickly!
-
Many things -- such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly -- are done worst when we try hardest to do them. Soothing lavender in a blend of skin-softening almond oil, rice bran, and vitamin E. Holy moly this is amazing! This really smells just like the perfume oil (a bit lighter, which is fine!) and is so wonderful to massage into my feet before bed. I wish I could have used this on my clients while I was a practicing Massage Therapist because it could have been so beneficial for so many of them. I have found myself reaching for this much more than the perfume oil lately...yummy and does the trick - I'm usually asleep about 10 minutes after I lay down. Great stuff!
-
Sweet and creamy vanilla. This is one of the best bath oils I've smelled, but I'm a huge fan of vanilla. Great as a moisturizer (SO many scents go well with this stuff!) and delicious in the bath...more throw in the bath, but the scent lingers on my skin for at least 4 hours. So. Good.
-
This smells very similar to Elf perfume oil to me, but with more berries and sunlight if that makes any sense. Very foresty (with a bit of harsh pine in the beginning that fades to leave a bit of forest floor which is gorgeous).I like this one a lot - and how neat that it has Thimbleberry in it! That's my favorite berry! This would make an incredible bath oil...
-
Creamy berries and honey. Very sweet - light throw but so good! Doesn't smell chilly to me at all - would be perfect for Spring/Summer and even Autumn...wish I could have bought a bottle - this would layer so well under many perfumes!!!
-
I think I would love this if it was just a tiny bit sweeter...I love to eat gingerbread cookies, and this smells just like they taste, but I guess I don't enjoy smelling like them! Oh well...
-
I totally agree that the Bath Oil is stronger/longer lasting than the perfume oil. I have used this as a moisturizer and love how it feels on my skin - scenting it lightly with egg nog which dries down to a slightly spiced creamy vanilla. Good stuff! Doesn't seem to go plasticky at all (my Egg Nog '2011 perfume oil does go a bit plasticky for the first half hour or so).
-
I thought I would love Gula but I actually can't stand it - makes me a bit sick to my stomach...must be the Caramel (which has ruined many an otherwise great blend on me - Red Lantern, Arrival at the Sabbath...) which is so sad...I wish I could handle caramel!!! This would be glorious!!! ETA: the nausea also comes from honey, so it must have been the brown sugar/honey/caramel combo. Funny, i love these tastes, but cannot put the bpal vs on my skin.
-
Grapefruit, Tea, Lime, Jasmine...lovely. I believe this is Jasmine Grandiflorum (day blooming) but I'm not positive...it's one of the Jasmines that I typically don't enjoy, but it works here. The grapefruit is yummy and the tea gives it a bite then the Lime tangs it up and makes a wonderful blend. This layers really well under Whitechapel and also under Hungry Ghost Moon '06...I'm thinking it will also be great under Tanuki No Yudachi but I haven't tried that yet.
-
Lavender, melon and cyclamen. I love this spray!!! It IS mostly Lavender, but there is a touch of melon there with a greenish sparkling lift from the cyclamen. Very very nice...
-
I honestly cannot believe that I haven't reviewed this yet. I bought 2 bottles as soon as it went live...and it is my favorite Bath Oil/BPTP product to date. Perfectly balanced, slightly spiced Pumpkin and Marshmallow. Smells identical to the perfume oil of the same name but seems to last longer on my skin. This is love in a bottle for me...as good as it gets.

This is just like the bath oil to my nose. Divine, scrumptious chocolate brownie batter. YUM-O.
