This is very comforting to me. I smell pumpkin cake and apple slices.

There are thin glass applicators that you can get for khol powder if that helps.

On me this smells like Pumpkin Sugar and Stekkjarstaur had a baby. Pumpkin Sugar is one of my favourites. Even though I amp the sugar note to high heaven and people always thell me I smell like crêpes, there is still a fantastic spice note detectable. Take that spice note and combine it with the marshmallow note from Stekk. Voilà, White Pumpkin Floss. I really do not get any white chocolate.

Thank you. I am used to detailed tracking info and a week without updates kills my patience. Not that I have much of that to begin with.
-
Is there anyone else who got a shipping notification on 01 June? My tracking says 'shipment picked up' on 01 June and nothing happened since then. Should I be worried?

If your top 5 scents are... Then try these!
Lillice replied to Ella LaRose's topic in Recommendations
Thank you VetchVesper for your input. I love Tombstone. It is nearly a cedar single note to my nose with a hint of vanilla and makes me feel like a fancy pencil. I have Stimulating Sassafras on my list to try but I am a bit scared that the butter note will turn rancid on me. I nearly bought Jolabokaflod but then I saw that it also had a chocolate not which put me off. I have an imp of Djinn but it must not have made an impression because I wore it once and forgot about it. I will go search my impbox and try it again. It's funny, I never associated Smokestack with vetiver because I have vetiver EO here and I don't like it much so I stayed away from blends that have vetiver listed. I will have to look deeper into that. Well somehow the Marquis de Carrabas must have escaped my radar because I have browsed the shop many times I can't remember him even though the notes sound right up my alley. Will see if I can find a decant. -

In no particular order: Outlaw Dee Smokestack Tombeur Unicorn & Ram Honorable mention goes to Fighter, but I wear that mainly as a comfort scent and not so much as full on perfume. -
I don't know if this is the right place to ask. Dee has been out of stock for quite a while now. Has it been discontinued?

Sweet scents, sugar notes & things that smell like candy
Lillice replied to voila's topic in Recommendations
Thank you all for your suggestions! I remember I looked into Sweets to the Sweets a few weeks ago but it has been out of stock for at least as long. Speaking of out of stock, how long does it ususally take to restock oils? Kill-Devil sounds nice, I voted for it in this month's lunacy poll at the trading post. I don't think I will like Elegba. I actually like tobacco (one of my favourite non-bpals is Phaedon Paris Tabac Rouge), but coconut and I don't agree. Mouse Circus: I need to get a decant of this, I never ordered a blind bottle of this because I am weary of the popcorn. I have tried Drink Me; it was not for me. Grog: I will definitely get an imp with my next order. I will keep my eyes open in the sales posts for Sugar Skull and Sugar Cookie, but I think chances are high that they will come back this year. -

Are there any brown sugar scents in the GC? I have decants of The Witches and Marshmallow Cookie Pie but I am craving more sugar. If The Witches return this year I will get a bottle but in the meantime, I am looking for accessible alternatives. -
Oils with the strongest throw or sillage - the most noticeable scents
Lillice replied to lunalight7's topic in Recommendations
Bumping this thread. For me the most throw and staying power have The Witches and Marshmallow Cookie Pie. They both turn into nearly identical brown sugar on me and stay the whole day. -
I don't have a specific workout scent, I tend to grab whatever I am in the mood for. Last time I wore Snake Oil, which is a nice scent but I never quite understood the hype, and being hot and sweaty turned it into the most beautiful sugary vanilla. I need to test this further.

Similarities Between BPAL Scents - GC and general discussion
Lillice replied to Shollin's topic in Recommendations
Not even remotely! At least not to me. Stekk is all fluffy marshmallow. DP is really really buttery and a totally different vanilla note. I don't find Stekk has a cream note either, whereas DP definitely does. Could just be my chemistry/nose though. Thank you for your input. I will need to try DP then. -
Similarities Between BPAL Scents - GC and general discussion
Lillice replied to Shollin's topic in Recommendations
How similar are Stekkjarstaur and Detestable Putrescence? I am asking because Stekkjarstaur smells exactly like I imagine Detestable Putrescence would smell based on the description. -
I want to smell like dirt! Dirt, Earth, Soil recommendations
Lillice replied to septima_pica's topic in Recommendations
My husband sneakily bought me the Graveyard Dirt I've been eyeing on etsy as a surprise. It is everything I have ever wanted in a dirt scent. I like it better than Zombi but I am not sure about Death Cap. I wore Deep in Earth the other day but I found it rather weak. I still want a bottle of both Zombi and Death Cap eventually but I am in no hurry since I've got a full bottle of Graveyard Dirt now. -
I want to smell like dirt! Dirt, Earth, Soil recommendations
Lillice replied to septima_pica's topic in Recommendations
My all-time favourite mushroomy dirt scent is The Grave-Pig (Fig, oakmoss, mushroom caps, and patchouli). If you like Death Cap, you'll likely like The Grave-Pig as well! The patchouli in is very dirt-like, enhanced further by the other notes, and it's one of my go-to dirty hippie type scents. It's richer and a bit more loamy/moist than Death Cap, and less rosey than Zombi. Thank you, I will look into that one. Although I have no clue what fig smells like. -

Lillice replied to septima_pica's topic in Recommendations
I never knew I loved dirt scents so much until I got some frimps of Zombi and Death Cap. I do not know if I need bottles of both of them but if I cannot decide which one I like more, I might have to. Are there more scents, preferably GC, that have the same vibe as Zombi and Death Cap? -
Does BPAL have a scent that is mainly lavender and honey?
