In Bottle: Syrupy, heady honey. I also am getting the big pink oleander bloom that gives this a bit of powderiness. Wet on Skin: On me, this is a very floral honey when it's wet. Really heady and almost intoxicating. Dry on Skin: Honey honey honey honey rocking everywhere. The powdery/herbally/oleander-y scent definitely falls away pretty quickly for me. Hours Later/Final Impressions: The warmest, thickest honey on my skin. Even hours later I catch whiffs of this vaguely floral honeyed goodness. I started with an imp of this, and then my generous friend gave me a bottle because she can't do the fragrance. Her loss is my gain!

I recently picked this up because I'm such a sucker for honey! For me, it does not disappoint. In Bottle: I'm getting a lot of ginger and white pepper over the softest black tea base. This smells spicy but not overly so. Wet on Skin: The honey and vanilla really come out to play when this is wet. It's a tea with a bit of a kick, and the pepper and ginger start to fade to the background as this begins to dry. Dry on Skin: This is like a beautiful honeyed vanilla tea when dry on my skin. There's just the slightest hint of a crispness of linen at the back of my nose when I sniff this dry on the skin. Hours Later/Final Impressions: I'm really glad I snapped this up when I saw it on the Etsy. It's a perfect day-to-day scent for me. It wears pretty close to my skin but I love that the honey and ginger and vanilla really shine through the most as BPAL's honey is my jam. I love this, it's soft and feminine yet powerful and a little sexy to me, due to that honey and ginger.

For me, in the imp and wet on the skin, this is a HEAVY heady jasmine. As it dries down, the daffodil comes to play - which I love as daffodil is not a common note for me to smell. I also get a bit of the orchid. As it dries down further, that beautiful plum is there, juicy and dark and ripe. Kind of like drinking plum wine in a flower garden. This one is really beautiful!

I'd agree with the reviews above, in the bottle it's a juicy, sweet mango, almost over-sweet, kind of like mango candies. On my skin, this green note comes out and the sweetness of the mango candy smell goes down a couple notches. On dry down, this smells like a mango sunscreen - and I'm totally okay with it because I love the smell of sunscreen. It's not a bad sunscreen smell at all. Like a tropical mango candy with like a sunscreen after tone to it.

This is such a beautiful, light aquatic, perfect for me as I don't generally love aquatics. I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie so I had to have this, especially with the Great Lakes mention. This reminds me of summer evenings at the beach! I smell those beach grasses, the cattails, a light floral on the air. Glad I snagged a decant of this!

In the Vial: A very juicy pear note, with some crisp, bright florals. Smelled almost aquatic to me, and I was smelling quite a bit of rose too. Wet: This was very, very rosy when wet on my skin. This excited me because I love any and all sorts of rose. The pear note faded right away and it was all rose and just a hint of that soapy lily of the valley. Dry: Still very rose, much to my delight. But then this soft, powdery, soapy note, most likely from the lily of the valley. Very, very soapy, not sure I love how this note comes out on me. Later: This has almost faded into nothingness eight hours later. I still catch the lightest hint of that soapiness mixed with a breath of light white musk. Very, very faint. I didn't reapply, simply to test the longevity of the scent. I keep catching small whiffs of it when I move. It's soft and light and very feminine. Overall: I wish I would have gotten more pear out of this, and that it would have stayed stronger on my skin longer. Also, the lily of the valley went really soapy on me and I'm not sure I loved that. I'll try it again, but limiting this to the one imp I have for now.

Seconded. The collection tracking function in this forum is by far one of the best things I've ever experienced on the internets.
