Not sure if I have posted a review on this one or not but last night I went into one of my boxes because I haven't worn perfume in quite some time and I just grabbed a bottle ... it was Vixen. I put a lil' on and put it back in the box. 20 mins later I am smelling this glorious smell but it smells like AGED Snake Oil. Thinking this must have been a mistake (maybe I misread the label) I went back today and pulled it out and tested it again. Yep, smells like aged Snake Oil but maybe better. My bottle is from early 2006 (and I also have a bottle of Snake Oil 2006). I was amazed that the orange blossom wasn't as strong and no longer was the front runner in this perfume. My suggestion ... buy a bottle for aging. You will be surprised!

I'm not getting the Snake Oil in this like others. To me this smells like my aged 2005 bottle of Smut. I like Smut. However I'm not sure I'll be keeping this since I already have something that smells like it in my collection. On a side note, if your afraid of leather or rose I didn't pick up any in this blend (sniffing from the bottle or on my skin). Actually I didn't pick up the honey either. ummmm ...

Love the labels ... thanks so much for posting the picture.

Love this! If you liked Enraged Bunny Musk give this a try. On my skin this smells just like it.

Here you go! Those are cute! I've been missing out on so much but at least I get to see the labels. Thank you for posting them. My 13 year old cousin is here with me this summer so any extra $$$ I might have spent on myself is being spent on her so it's worth it because we are having a blast. We are heading back to Hawaiian Falls today so I will just pretend I am swimming in a pool filled with Mouse Circus. I can't wait until it goes live but also hope that's not for a month so I can re-coop.

This is like an A&W Cream soda with Ginger. It's all bubbly when I first apply it but that disappears after 10 mins and I'm left with a vanilla cream ginger saffron confection. I do not pick up any of the other notes, which is fine by me. If MB Underpants could have a younger flirtier sister this would be her. My skin has never picked up the butter rum in Underpants so in that vein it's like swapping out the sandalwood for ginger. I agree with the first poster that it's the same ginger note in Mother Ginger. This is a fun & flirty scent.

Out of the three bats I received this is by far my favorite and I am absolutely loving it!! I have never smelled an orchid like this. It has a sweetness to it. It reminds me of Treat 1 (with the watermelon) and Nag Champa. Just the right amount of sweetness and incense. The only problem I am having is staying power. Maybe aging will help in that area. I will never give up this bottle. SEXY as all get out on my skin! Thanks so much to my fairy.

Try BLOSSOMS IN SPRINGTIME http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/shunga12.html I have both and it's the closest thing I have found to MBU.

This is such a lovely blend. Like Sharkdiver I do not detect the coriander. Coriander is also known as Cilantro so I'm not sure if Beth used the oil from the seeds or the leaves of the plant. Since I love Cilantro in leaf form I can say I do not pick up that note at all. Lemongrass is a fav and this is what stands out on me along with the white chocolate. So far no almond note. Maybe it will come with age.

oh whoops.. sorry ivyandpeony, I don't think I knew about that rule so I see why you (re)moved my post here - my apologies beachbabealways - I can't remember now what I posted here originally, it was something along the lines of Motley being the best rhubarb EVER, and Heroine being sadly very un-rhubarbish on me, and same with Lawful, but maybe you'll have better luck with those two. I wish rhubarb would show up more often though, it's such a beautiful sultry fragrance. Oh yeah I have a bottle of Motley from when it came out.

Oh sorry, that is my fault. I will fix my post.

Thank you both ... off to read reviews.

I really miss the Lab's search feature. Does anyone know of any BPAL scents (besides Motley) that has Rhubarb in it? If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

So cute! I wasn't sure if I should post it here because it's a bath oil but hey it's a label. We are all about labels in this thread so I figured why not. ETA: The bath oil inside is divine!
