This is my first full sized order from BPAL and I was so excited to get it!
In the bottle: Pure peppermint. It reminded me of walking into a candy shop and smelling the fresh mints being made. It had a bit of a bitter smell underneath also. I didn't get much vanilla.
On the skin: I didn't get the skin tingles I was expecting from other reviews. It was a bit more of a spearmint than peppermint as it went on. Caught a few whiffs of vanilla and still something bitter.
Dry: Definitely a lot lighter about an hour in. Not as much mint as when it started. The vanilla comes through a little more but now smells a bit smokey. Not sure where that note comes from.
Over all I am happy with it. I have been wanting Lick It for quite a few years now but have never been able to get it before it sold out. This time I was lucky to snag it. It was different than I expected but it's pleasant. It makes me think of Santa smoking his pipe with the smokey mint scent I get. The throwing and lasting power isn't as strong as I'd like, but I still am happy with this scent. Would love to try this scent from past years and will most definitely be adding to this and making a Lick It collection.
