Chocolate and coffee cake with lots of cream and a hint of spices. This is delicious and I love how the coffee doesn't completely overshadow the cake. The coffee in here is a little similar to Miskatonic University, so if you enjoyed that you will probably love this. I can't really detect any booze, but I don't mind because I wouldn't have wanted that to overpower the other notes.

This is probably due to testing Gingerbread Invisible Man not too long ago, but I'm getting ginger ale from this instead of champagne. Vanilla cake and frosting, the frosting reminds me of cream cheese frosting? Usually when I try a boozy scent and I don't get a lot of those notes, I am a bit disappointed. However when it comes to this, I think the blend of cake and champagne is pretty equal and I wouldn't want the champagne note to be stronger than it ends up being on my skin. This is a really fun scent and I can't wait to wear this for special occasions.

Slightly metallic (the aluminum foil note I'm guesting) cologne. It's fresh and clean, and a little bit of sweetness which is unusual and I have no idea what could be causing that on me. Reminds me a little bit of Steam.Goth because of the cologne and metallic notes. So if you are a fan of that, you might like this one too. Glad I tried this, but I've got a bottle of Steam.Goth so I doubt I'll be hunting for more of these imps.

This review is for the 2015 version! Powdered sugar covered candied fruits. The fruits are a lot stronger than the sugar, but I can't really pick out any specific fruits in this blend. I like it, but I don't think I'll be upgrading this. Weird since there's fruits and sugar in this, but it's not as sweet as I was hoping!

Dirty root beer! A little bit of the ginger, clove, and moss in the background. This is like if you replace the roses from Zombi with root beer, so I think if you like the dirt note in that one you should like this! The graveyard dirt keeps this from being really foodie and on me that note is stronger than the root beer. I was a little cautious about this one, I didn't know how well I'd like dirt and root beer together. But it works well and I'm glad I grabbed a bottle of this!

Without looking at the notes, I got maple syrup and pancakes with some honey. It's really nice, but I am not getting any of the gingerbread. It's very sugary sweet and foodie, lots of honey but I don't really get the ale note. I'm also not getting much of the nuts either. Really enjoying this, I love breakfast themed blends! It's almost a maple syrup single note on my skin, so I think I'll be using these for layering.

Sandalwood and a clay-like note with a touch of spice. It's a little bit sweet too, but it's mostly wood on my skin. It's earthy but not dirty if that makes sense. I'll admit that I am not familiar with tulsi and Mitti attar notes, so I can't accurately review them. However, I am curious to try more with those notes because this blend is really nicer than I expected it to be. I can't see myself wearing this a lot because I prefer foodie/gourmands, but I'm glad to have this because it's unlike anything else in my collection. This would have made a nice atmospheric spray!

This is basically a tea single note to me. I don't get much of the clean linen, it's mostly just the milky sweet and peppery tea. My imp is probably really old, so that could a factor. Lack of linen notes aside, this is a really nice tea scent and I'm enjoying the pepper note. I didn't think I'd like the tea and pepper together, but the pepper note isn't too strong on my skin. I might end up grabbing a bottle of this eventually! Hoping that I'll get a stronger clean linen note too.

Soap and smoke with a little incense. The smoke was stronger when wet, but the soap became more prominent when drying. The soap to me is slightly floral, but that could be the skin musk maybe. I didn't think a clean soapy scent and smoke/incense would work together, but somehow they do. I'm really liking this. My only minor complaint is that I wish the smoke and incense were a little stronger than the soap note. Throw is pretty good too!

Sweet honey and rosy lip gloss. It's very sugary and almost reminds me of a bubblegum scent instead of a floral. I get a tiny bit of the suntan lotion, but like the similar note in Courtney, it fades fast and isn't that strong. Very pretty, I like this a lot more than I expected I would. One of my favorite rose scents for sure!

Lovely, sweet and slightly powdery bubblegum. Pretty much a bubblegum single note to me, either the bow rosin note has aged out or the bubblegum is just the more dominant note. As someone with a ton of BPAL bubblegums, this is great for when I just want pure bubblegum and no other notes. Could be great for layering too. Hopefully I can find a bottle!

Sweet and spicy! The patchouli, pepper, and ginger are the most prominent on me. Definitely reminds me of dragon's blood (just in general, I have yet to try the Lab's version). Throw is on the low side, unfortunately. Weirdly, as it's starting to fade it smells just slightly like bubblegum. I have no idea what note is causing that with my skin chemistry, but as a bubblegum lover I can't complain. I didn't expect me to enjoy this as much as I have. If you're looking for a somewhat similar scent, I recommend Woman As Dragon which has a stronger spice to it in my opinion.

God, I love this! It's a super clean and fresh blend of honeysuckle and peaches with a slight touch of the lemon blossom. It's very sweet too, but I think the honeysuckle and lemon blossom keep this from being foodie. I don't usually wear fragrances based on seasons, but if you do this is THE perfect spring or summer scent! I have got to try out more honeysuckle scents now. I got a sniffie bottle of this and fell in love, so glad to now have two decants of this beauty.

Dark chocolate and spicy gingerbread! The cinnamon and star anise quickly overwhelm both the gingerbread and the dark chocolate notes on me, sadly. It's not bad, but I thought the chocolate would have been stronger and lasted longer. I think layering this with Ghost Milk might have helped the chocolate get stronger, will have to try that next time I wear this.

When I first applied this, it resembled a vanilla and fruity milkshake. After it being dry for a couple hours, it now has a buttery note and I can pick out the toffee. The toffee reminds me a little bit of booze. I recently tested Hot Buttered Rum, and this reminds me of that but without the spices. Thank god there wasn't a turkey note! Definitely a interesting morpher, I like both versions! Compliments Eat Me well.

Musky and peppery, there's a little bit of sweetness to this as well. The clove is the star of the show on me, it's strong and almost dominates the rest of the notes. I like that's it's a little soft and sweet, I tend to wear mostly foodie/gourmand scents so that makes this a little bit more wearable for me. I won't be getting a bottle because I doubt I'd wear this often, but I do enjoy it!

Sweet chocolate and minty gingerbread. The mint fades pretty quickly on me so it's mostly the chocolate and gingerbread with a hint of vanilla. I have to agree with other reviewers, it does slightly resemble a Peppermint Patty but sweeter since there isn't any dark chocolate notes in this. This was one of the Gingerbread Monsters that I expected to me one of my favorites, and it definitely is! I wish the peppermint was a little stronger, but on the other hand I'm really glad it doesn't overwhelm the chocolate and vanilla. I think this would pair well with the Stitched Together hair gloss from the 2020 Weenies, this definitely reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream due to the peppermint.

Apple spice, brown sugar apples, and oatmeal! It starts out heavy on the apple spice note, but that eventually settles down as the oatmeal and apple notes get stronger. This doesn't really resemble cookies to me, it reminds me more of oatmeal with apples in it and the warm brown sugar cinnamon apple dessert. Really enjoying this, I was actually hoping for an oatmeal cookie scent in the stalking page so this was a must have for me!

Very green and herbal, I believe there's a faint dirt note in here as well and a touch of spice. The spice and green notes, especially the eucalyptus, were very strong when first applied, but now that it's going away I'm getting the dirt and spice. Fades quickly and I'm not a big fan of green scents. Will be passing this along, but was glad to try it.

Clean and green herbs and mint. I didn't get any lime, probably faded with age, and the lavender was barely there. It's alright, but it fades so fast which is a shame. Wish I got the lime and more lavender.

Unbuttered stale popcorn and tart cranberries. The cranberry note is slightly powdery and is stronger than the popcorn note. It fades pretty considerably within 3 hours. Popcorn is one of my top 3 scents, so I knew I had to have this bottle! I wish the popcorn note itself was as strong as the cranberry, but I really love this.

Nutty and sweet gingerbread with a drizzle of honey. If I didn't know this was gingerbread, I would have guessed it was peanut butter cookies or something similar. If you were hoping for a strong gingerbread, this is probably not the Gingerbread Monster bottle for you. The nut notes almost drown out the gingerbread. Kind of a low throw too which is disappointing but not a complete dealbreaker. Pretty good, just wish the gingerbread note was a bit stronger!

This was great when first applied, sweet creamy coffee! It was very strong and the throw was really good. A few hours later, and now I'm just getting the dusty books with coffee in the background. Not mad that I didn't get the polished wood note since I'm picky with woods. The coffee has a touch of chocolate to it, which is a little unusual but I don't hate it. A wonderful coffee scent, definitely a new GC favorite! I just wish the throw stayed as strong as it did when I first applied it, but that could be due to my imp's age.

This was disappointing. Yes it's chocolate, but it resembles cocoa powder or chocolate milk mix instead of a milk chocolate candy bar. It's very powdery, not very sweet, and fades pretty fast with a low throw. I've tried other BPAL notes with chocolate and I much prefer them to this. I wish I was getting the brownie batter that everyone else smells. My imp could be very aged so maybe newer batches smell nicer.

Sweet and slightly powdery pomegranate and cranberry jelly and glazed donuts. It's very delicious and my review is not doing it justice. The donut part does resemble play doh a little bit after drying like another reviewer mentioned, but the fruits really overpower that scent so I don't mind it. Really the only con is that the throw is on the low side. This is amazing, and now I'm dying to try past year's sufganiyot scents.
