You can actually still order that one from Starring! Fragrances - it's in their 'Single Note Scent-sation' section - in the 'Fruit Stand' collection. You can order it here Bones Trombone is probably the closest to a lemon curd BPAL that I can recall, although it does have other notes in there along with the lemon.. it's very yummy. Lolita was super-lemon on my skin.. but it's lemon verbena rather than the sweet type of lemon I think you're looking for. You're such a lifesaver! Omigosh, buying some right now. Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Also, I am getting a decant of Bones Trombone. I'm super excited!

My roommate got an AWESOME scent in a PIF pack today that wasn't a BPAL oil. It's Lemon Sugar from Starring...! Fragrances. It smells exactly how Lemon curd smells, right when you pop open the jar. That fresh, sweet, sugary smell with a Lemon twang. Absolutely delicious. Too bad I can't find the smell anywhere, so this imp will have to suffice for now. So if anyone knows of a BPAL that smells like Lemon curd, let me know. I'm desperate to replicate this delightful imp.

What are your favorite lemon scents? After all, they're really hard to replicate without smelling too chemical-y. And if anyone knows of a BPAL that smells like lemon curd, let me know. I'm desperate to replicate this delightful imp.

Alright, I have this Bath and Body works lotion that I adore. It's the aromatherapy collection, and it's called Sensual. The notes are black currant absolute and vanilla. I thought about the body spray, but it just smells watered down and icky. I would love to find a BPAL that smells similar. Anyone have any idea what that would be? ETA: Some of the other notes seem to be patchouli, lemon peel, and cucumber.

This was a frimp in a lab order, and I have to say...I'm glad I didn't purchase it. It reminds me VERY strongly of a marinade I use for chicken and my roommate immediately said "beef jerky." I have to agree. I honestly don't know what hits me in this oil, but it gives me a really visceral, negative reaction. I tried it on my skin after reading the reviews, hoping it would change, but it was so strong and so uncomfortable for me that I had to wash it off. I wish this had worked. Alas, into the swap pile it goes.

At first, I was worried about this one. I'm not usually a big fan of rose scents, since my skin amps them up and turns them soapy and powdery. This is nice, however. I can get the coconut just hovering in the background and the orris kind of grounding the rose a little bit. It's very light, though, and I didn't notice any throw on me at all. I think this will have to be a linen spray for me.

This is scent that I received from Rhetoricians. In the bottle: Whoa! Talk about honey. I love honey notes, normally, but this was super sweet honey, and rich wine. I was a little hesitant, but I gave it a shot. On me: This has improved a whole heck of a lot. The honey has mellowed out. It's still there, and it's still sweet, but it's not nearly as overwhelming as when I first took a whiff. It kind of serves as a sweet backdrop for the delightful incense and bay. This is woodsy and pretty. After more time: It's turned a little more powdery, but the base scent is still the same as when I'd applied it. It's also getting a bit of a soapy edge to it, but nothing that isn't working. All in all: Not bad. It's not something I'll wear everyday. Maybe when I'm feeling pretty and golden and spoiled.
