Fizzy lemon soda and smoke. This is the only BPAL I've ever smelled that made me legit sick to my stomach.

On me, this is pure lemon and grass, with the teeniest bit of aquatic. It's very fresh and happy-smelling. Normally fresh scents bore me, but I find myself really enjoying this!

What a gorgeous, fresh floral aquatic! This will be beautiful in the desert heat that is my home, as the scent is nice and cool.

The cypress smells cool, and the hazelnut smells warm, making this feel a little...confused, I suppose? Dont get me wrong, this scent is quite pretty in it's way, but it feels like it's being pulled in two different directions at once - like it cant decide what it wants to be.

Everyone is talking about how complex this scent is, but all I get is 50% grape and 50% rose. Dont get me wrong, i really like this, and i think it's pretty unique with the grape and all!

A mournful, poignant scent, thick with foreboding. Soft golden amber darkened with a touch of murky black musk. Sweet amber and...lemon? Yeah, I get quite a bit of lemon in this - it's like amber crossed with lemon cake. Totally unexpected but I'm not complaining at all - it's delicious!

On my skin, (or to my nose) this is pretty much a single note lily - pollen and all. I don't consider it particularly languorous, in fact I find it quite peppy and fresh.

10% white floral, 90% soap. That's all I get, personally. If you like your scents clean, Ave is a safe bet for you!

Starts out smelling like gummy bears, and turns into a very, very nice fruit with a tiny bit of floral, kind of like fuzzy peach skin and one lone rose petal. Overall, very unique and delicious!

Creamy and smooth musks and a bit of fresh jasmine. Words that come to mind are: pink, clean, pretty, feminine.

I expected the peach to be covered up by the spices and pumpkin, but nope! Peach is keeping up just fine - on me this is half peach, half buttery pumpkin. Sounds like an odd combination but its amazing!

Cherry that morphs into clove and dragon's blood. This does indeed smell red, but it's a deep, dark red to me - not a brilliant bloody red. Several people mentioned it having a metallic edge but I dont get that at all. Its just a nice, lightly spicy dragons blood to me.

For the first 15 minutes or so, this was vanilla play dough. Luckily it fades, and you're left with a nice, if simple, honey musk. To my nose, there is also a hint of licorice in this.

Cucumber water, rosewater and a faint tinge of soap. Very clean smelling, that's for sure. If I owned a spa, it would smell like this.

Peach and quite a lot of booziness at first, almost enough to scare me off. But after a few minutes I'm left with a juicy, simple peach. Sadly I'm not getting any amber. Anyone who even remotely enjoys peach should give Aglaea a whirl.

Containing nary a neutron of meaning: rum-quince-cassis with prune and a bit of black ginger. When first applied, this is the most delicious spiced punch scent I've ever smelled. It only stays this way for a few minutes, though. It dries down to a very charming cinnamon/stewed fruit. This is asking to be worn in the coldest days of winter, as it will make you feel warmed and cheerful.

When it first goes on, it's pure, sweet rose petals. As it dries down, a slight fruitiness (perhaps plum?) appears to compliment the rose. Overall, it smells very "pink" - sweet, rosy and slightly tart. Two, Five and Seven is genuinely beautiful.

Violet petal, violet leaf, osmanthus, orris, mint, and opoponax. Pure violet with a bit of freshness (I assume from the mint). Considering the fact that it has orris in it, I dont find it powdery at all. It's quite sweet, almost candy sweet, with a faint brown sugar scent as it dries down.

Slightly tangy and very clean. Like a very bracing soap.

I dont get any lilac, just lime and white musk. These two notes are equally noticeable and...dont quite fit together on me. It smells a little disjointed for lack of a better word.

Beautiful milky chocolate goodness! Doesnt have amazing staying power but I don't care - that means I get to apply it again!

Roses blooming through freshly upturned soil! While I don't enjoy smelling like dirt, I cant deny that this is the essence of Spring. If you at all enjoy soil notes, this one needs to be on your list.

I dont get any frankincense, just white flowers with a touch of nose tickling pollen. It's a very classy, simple white floral that could be worn any time except for the height of summer. It's probably a little too potent for that.

I only get plumeria and aquatic, making this feel somewhat tropical to me. It is a calm, gentle floral scent as advertised, and would likely shine when worn in the spring.

Sweet cinnamon and amber goodness! I get a fair amount of sandalwood and just a teeny bit of patchouli. Its sweet, but not foody sweet, and probably because of the cinnamon, quite warm. Would probably be overpowering in hotter weather.
