Minh Scent

This is a stunner.  Yes, a white flower, not at all indolic with a splash of creamy muskiness.  I also am picking up something green, like a crushed stem.

As a woman with a kazillion floral fragrances, I can say this is unique and one of those nose-to-wrist-go-away-let-me-smell-this-all-day perfumes.

Oh, when will I learn to wait for reviews!  I thought this was a no-brainer, from the notes.  Agree with those above that it is a beautiful scent.  I need more Snake Oil and I am not sure aging will bring it out.  Time will tell!

Valencia Orange is 10/10.  If your like a strong, uplifting orange scent, this is for you!  It lasts surprisingly long for a citrus scent.  I agree there there is some of the blossom in this as well.

I am going a little nuts, because I smelled this (note) somewhere before. Hmm.  Is this the note from Portrait of a Young Woman with a Unicorn????

One of my favorite hair glosses from 2024.  It creates a honey-sweet figgy cloud with nuances of light florals.  Long lasting.

I love this perfume so much.  It really does smell like the old time stockings we wore with garter belts!! (This was before panty hose, which were quite the revolution and no where as sexy!) Anyways this reminds me of the smell of my mother, a coffee drinker,  putting on stockings.  The skin musk combined with the silk note is so lovely.  Low throw, about 2 hour wear.  

It's pretty, like the oil and agree a shade more lavender.  However, it is also very light.

Oh I am jealous that the poster above got so many hours from this! (But glad you did, Vaudenilla!?)  I absolutely love Midnight Mass Perfume, so it was a no-brainer to snap this up.  I was surprised at how light it is.  It does smell like Midnight Mass, but very softly.  I almost feel like tossing in my backup bottle of Midnight Mass!

Oh, my!  I agree with @VioletChaos  that the vanilla in this perfume is reminiscent of Antique Lace. It is not a gourmand vanilla, but has a veil of sweetness to it. The violet is soft, and adds to overall beauty of the scent.  This is a lovely perfume- close to skin, long lasting.   

A cozy, cuddly brown musk, on the sweetish side. Very sniffable and easy to wear.

This is a heavy beeswax with just a tinge of pine. It is a rich , beautiful beeswax. Folks longing for pine may be disappointed. 

Yes!  This is a great Snake!  Beautiful SO and and Snow White (no mint).  If you love those two scents, here's your hybrid.  

BPAL's pomegranate  has never worked well for me- too sweet.  I do enjoy it if there is enough musk over it, like in Madam Moriety, but it totally ruined a tobacco scent for me, as well as the chypre in the 2017 Weenies September Midnight. (Oh, goodness, I am holding a grudge!?)  Reviews got me, though, and true to the accolades- this is a little stunner!  Yes it is on the sweet side..but THAT ink vibe has just stolen my heart!  There is also something powdery here and a few times I thought I almost got a sandalwood vibe.  Whatever, I feel there is more going on here than just pomegranate and ink.  Lowish throw, long lasting. 

I barely get lavender on first application, but the plum and sugared opium tar are indeed beautiful.  Sadly, it is very light on my skin and disappears quickly. It barely lasted an hour on my wrists and I have to put nose to skin to smell it.  (I check another perfume to make sure it was not my nose with the problem.)

Yes, yes, I put this on and smiled big time because it is so...BPAL! I agree with the Banshee Beat/Revenant Rhythm vibes and the honey adds some extra sweetness to that perfect patch-vanilla combo. The amber reminds me of the one in The Sun's Treasure.  Unfortunately I am not  enjoying the longevity others are reporting, so I may need a rare backup bottle.

This is my second go with Snootier Bat. First try a few months ago, the black leather was too much for me.  It is still a bit ACK on first application, but it now quickly morphs into amazing black musk and incense. It lasts forever and has a sweet edge to it. Gorgeous!

I am in an "oh my dear goodness I adore BPAL" mode.  I was hesitant to put this on, because Snooty Bat was TOO MUCH LEATHER for me.  This is a different leather. It is soft, warm worn...and, wow!  The vanilla!  It is very prominent and in fact, when first applied, I almost felt I had a mislabeled bottle because I got a very sweet with caramel tinged vanilla, hinging on bakery vanilla. In the dry down it is a souped up vanilla snake oil snuggled into a worn brown leather saddlebag. The spice is light and I cannot distinguish what kind of spice. One of my favorite sneks ever!!  

Put on this little imp without checking notes. Loved the woodsy opening and then it was a Snake Oil flanker wrapped in vetiver! Very Black Phoenix "type". Looking` at the notes, I guess it is the mullein responsible for the earthy/woody/green scent. Good back up if (god forbid) we run out of snake oil.

The notes look promising, but the lemongrass is too powerful and takes over the scent on my skin. In late drydown, the rose makes an appearance.  Nothing objectionable, just more of an oil burner fragrance.  Agree with comments that it smells like a spa.

This is a sexy feminine floral on me.  It is much more than just jasmine (although jasmine certainly is never just "just"!!)  and agree there may be some magnolia in here as well.  There is some leather, but I cannot discern the metal. Very, very pretty!

What a gorgeous perfume!  The dominant note on me is wax, supported by vanilla and honey.  It gets prettier and prettier the longer I wear it and develops a delightful powderiness. I cannot smell the pink pepper, but my nose actually gets a bit of a buzz from it- the same sensation as when you smell mentholated medicine, but without  the actual medicinal smell. One of the favorites of this year's lupers.

It would be hard for more to deny that this is a pretty scent.  What is not to love about those notes? Unfortunately, this is way too delicate of a perfume for me.  If anyone is looking for an office perfume that can't annoy co-workers, but will make you smile, this is it!

(Disclaimer alert- I am so in love with White Chocolate, Sandalwood  and Lemon Peel, that I am now hard to please with more gentle sandalwood notes!)

Beautifully blended.  The tuberose and black musk are light, so if anyone was cautious about those notes, probably no need.  Black truffle?  Does that mean the mushroom or chocolate?  No matter, I can't pick out either. The ambergris is perfect, also soft.  I get an intoxicating powdery smell into drydown.  I can't stop sniffing, because it changes and to my nose/skin chemistry, the ambergris is the featured note.

Like with the Blue Silk Rose, this actually smells like silk.  Of the three flowers I smelled (Peony, Rose and Orchid), this is my favorite.

Hmm.  The jury is out on this one.  It is not as pretty as Tea Rose Lace, but it is indeed pretty and the sweetness (not foodie) is appreciated.  It is more rose than peony on me.  The rose strengthens as it goes longer into drydown.  

It's very girly, pleasant,  Nothing to complain about.

Nondescript in the bottle. On the skin it blossoms into a soft floral and berry. (I cannot pick out orchid, violets or rose at this point) The thing is, I get the weirdest sensation of blue silk flowers. Is this the power of suggestion? In further drydown, I get the musk. The opium tar is light.  Yes, there is some sweetness. This is more of an experience than a perfume for me. 

I will test it again, but it may not be violet-y enough for what I was after.

Oh, this is lovely!  It starts out with a soft floral (I am guessing the lavender buds) and then the tonka and resins appear. As someone who is not a fan of aquatics, the driftwood adds just the perfect pinch of salt.  As it dries down, the scent becomes more beautiful and complex, with the beeswax making a gentle appearance. I cannot pick out the honey or honey dust, but perhaps that is the overall sweetness (but not too sweet!) in late dry down, I am also getting that fir tree note a few have mentioned. This is one of those scents where it is hard to drag the nose away from the wrist, as it is a beautiful and changing composition.
