I definitely get the caramel as mentioned above the strongest. Shockingly on me I do not get much smoke or burnt if at all! But I’m totally ok with that! I was nervous it would be too scorched. In the dry down the sweet corn syrup like candy corn comes out and stays close to the skin. It’s sweet and hauntingly calm. Wish it had stronger throw but still delicious 😋

Cake, cookies, donuts, baked goods, even Cinnabon

Absolutely!!! I really want a non fruit Sufganiyot! Like vanilla custard, cinnamon, or chocolate! Or hey Cinnamon Roll Sufganiyot, why not?! 😜 -
Ok so it’s official I don’t like rhubarb. It reminds me of a cleaner (the pink stuff) and it’s just too tart. I really wanted TONS of custard or muffin but don’t really get any. It’s all about the rhubarb. 😝

This is definitely delicious white chocolate with a sweet cream note that comes out after. It’s so hard to describe it but it adds some dimension to the white chocolate scent. Maybe ube like if I had to guess. 😋 Throw and staying power on the lower side.

I really like this one! The molasses is there but it’s sweet and yummy. I get maple syrup on the skin but it’s the good real kind. Also some lovely brown sugar in the dry down. It’s so good. I kept getting whiffs of it all day and loved that! My mom liked it too. 😋

I’m bumping this thread because I’m looking for new Cinnabon, Cinnamon Roll, or Bun scents! I posted a few years back looking but wanted to hear your new recs…😋 -
This one is red fruits mostly cherry on top of yellow cake with a little bourbon spice hitting in the dry down. I really like it and it’s really unique. It smells a little different every time I wear it not sure if it’s the perfume or my skin but it’s always good. Kentucky has a place in my heart too so that’s a bonus 😉

This one was a white chocolate dream. The green tea did lean a little tangy but it balanced so nice with the white chocolate. The amber was there too but light and just kinda helped hold it all together. I hesitated at first on this one but so glad I went for it. Love green tea lattes and this fits that in a lovely scent form. 🫖

This was an almost burnt nutty vibe at first but then the vanilla and cardamom come forward. A little perfumey but still nice. I think chestnut is a non sweet nut for me. It was cozy but just not sweet and foodie enough for me. I wanted more caramel and vanilla I think.
-
This one was yummy. My son said it smelled like watermelon. I got a nice melon scent reminiscent of Cucumber Melon from BBW but way more grown up and complex. I really like it. Medium throw and staying power. Very comforting. 😋
-
This reminds me of my mom’s pistachio pudding she made when I was young. It’s mostly pineapple and marshmallow for me with that nutty soft pistachio in the background. Fun scent and I love the memory it brings up. 😋
-
All banana in the bottle! Like whoa! That candy runts scent to the max! On the skin though the banana disappears quite a bit and what’s leftover is gingerbread, like a very faint spiced ginger cookie.
-
This is absolutely amazing! It’s that classic BPAL sugar cookie note but not as buttery more sweet and lightly spiced. I don’t get definitive bourbon at all. No boozy notes here. It’s just a vibe, a cozy cookie Christmas vibe. I love it. As a big fan of Sugar Cookie the original this is an incredible variant of it! Hurry and grab this! It’s a winner! Great throw and staying power too! Cheers 🥃🥃

Definitely lots of coffee in the bottle. But on the skin it kinda disappears and what’s left is a very dark chocolate pudding. Very rich dark and bitter. Not sugar sweet at all but dark and delicious. Lower throw and staying power. ☕️
-
This reminds me of a grown up strawberry shortcake kind of scent. It’s very pretty and the strawberry note is sweet but not too juicy so it plays nice with the pudding aspect. Not much amber but that’s probably what’s making it seem more grown and lovely. Lower throw and staying power. 🍓

I’ve wanted to try this one for years but always over looked it since it wasn’t LE. But finally I set my sights on it and was lucky to swap for it. It’s a perfect chocolate scent. Surprisingly it’s not powder chocolate on me it’s more like hersheys syrup with a little sweet marshmallow in the background. It’s a great chocolate smell and happy to have this in my collection. I also love the label it’s so cute. I love a label with food on it. It’s got decent throw and staying power too. 🍫

This is definitely muffin first, than bready pumpkin. Light on spice and I barely get chocolate. It’s yummy and different but sadly the throw and staying power were light on me.
-
This is a nut scent lovers dream. It’s got them all topped with some honey and sugar to keep it yummy. I love scents with nuts and didn’t see this when it first came out but glad I found it now. So delicious. The throw is good and lasts about 4 hours on me. Such a surprise! 🐷🌰🐽😊
-
This was a lovely pumpkin spice that was heavy on the cardamom. I didn’t get much coffee at all. I didn’t mind though. The bummer was the lighter throw. If it was stronger I would’ve kept it but my skin ate it up. 🥹 But happily the new owner really likes it 😉
-
Vampire Milk: oooh yes! This is my favorite! It’s a sweet creamy clove drink. So comforting and smooth. It’s got clove spice yes but the milk makes it smooth and creamy! No bitterness or buttery ness. I love it! So good! Now I’m tempted to try other mills but clove is a love of mine so I had high hopes for this one and I’ve been bitten by the sweet clove vampire! 🧛♀️

Vintage Frankenstein Blow Mold: this one is strong in the bottle but settled down quickly on the skin. I do wish it stayed strong. It’s definitely sweet mint with light chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips. I didn’t get much amber at all. It’s a nice one. Nothing unusual just Franky hanging out eating a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone instead of trick or treating lol 😋
-
Vintage Ghost Blow Mold: and very light floofy candy corn scent with almost a touch of sweet cream. Amber is a delicate sweet backdrop. It’s not powdery. And I get no “plastic.” But my skin never gets that scary plastic people speak of so your experience could be different. I wish it had more throw and staying power, but I can’t stop sniffing my wrist. She’s a sweet soft ghosty baby eating discarded candy corn after trick or treating. 👻
-
This is a fancy but delicious hot chocolate scent to me. The chocolate is nearest to milk chocolate I think, and a little nesquik like but grown up. The scorched milk helps make it creamy and sophisticated. I’m digging it. Medium throw and staying power. It’s got tons of chocolate globs in it too which I love! 🙃
-
This one was a bitter lemon cherry candy scent at first. A bit tart not sweet. I was hoping the “sponge” would sweeten it up but it never really does. It’s very light on that. It’s a fruity fun smell but not cakey enough for me. Low throw and staying power. Love the name and creepy label.
-
Finally got my hands on this one and it did not disappoint! I have a bad sinus infection but had to test anyway. From the bottle it’s a yummy tootsie pop cherry which is what I wanted! I was scared of cough syrup and thank goodness this never goes that way. On the skin it was a sugary candy cherry. So yummy! Had decent throw and staying power considering I could smell it at all so I assume it’ll be stronger when my nose gets better. This is definitely the best cherry scent I’ve gotten so far from BPAL. 🍒
