Pretty good! In my case, this was mostly the marshmallow and orange blossom. The lemon peels gets close to smelling like bathroom cleaner at times. I would have liked more lemon, but this is still really good. I also agree with others that it resembles cereal. I think the marshmallow makes me think of Rice Krispie Treats. Marshmallow is still going strong even as the other notes have faded away.

Sugary candied fruits and musk! The sugar comes close to overpowering the fruits but it doesn't. The strongest ones I can pick out are the grapefruit, mandarin, and raspberry. Very nice with a good throw but the wear time is a bit disappointing. One of the best grapefruit scents I've tried.

Very pink rose heavy, it's not until it softens during the dry down that I'm able to detect the sweet grassy dandelion sap. It's perfumey and clean, close to linen actually. I wanted to like this more because I thought the dandelion sap would be stronger than the roses. Still lovely, though! I just hope that rose note fades some because what I can smell of the dandelion sap is beautiful.

This review is for the 2021 version! Creamy and waxy pink roses with a touch of the gardenia. It was pretty faint but I hope with age it gets stronger. I couldn't really detect the other notes, this is very very rose heavy.

Warm nutmeg covered fur and sticky caramel. It's a little woodsy but not too much for me to dislike it. Toasted and nutty, almost close to unbuttered popcorn but it doesn't quite reach that. This is close to how my cat smells after roaming around my farm: It's dirty but sweet. Like he was rolling around in the dirt but also got into the flower garden and played in the grass. This is very musky and dirty, much like a wild rabbit or other animal. I really like this. It's an earthy scent but has some sweetness in here to make it more wearable for me. Can't go wrong with the bottle artwork either. I can see this being good for sleep since it's comforting.

This review is for the 2012 version! Clean metallic cologne and lots of citrus. Very soft and faint, close to the skin. A touch of dust. The citrus fades very fast, within an hour. So now it's mostly metallic cologne and dust. Cannot see myself wearing this often, but it's a comforting nostalgic scent? Not 100% a dupe, but this does remind me of Toy-Strewn Attic from the 2020 Weenies. Also might just be the toy theming.

This is like linen on me? Like freshly washed linen that was dried on the clothesline and then you trip and fall on some dirt as you take it inside. The florals are a lot stronger than the dirt once it dries, it was very dirt heavy at first. I dig it, although I would have liked more of the dirt to stay around from the wet stage.

Amazing, delicious warm buttery popcorn! It actually smells closer to those tins you find around Xmas with the different kinds of popcorn. I don't get the cheese kind, but definitely buttery and touches of the caramel as it dries down. Very salty too. Sadly, it fades a lot within 30 minutes. It's still there just faint. I feel like I keep saying this when I review a popcorn scent, but for real this one smells closest to the real thing. Even as it fades, it's close to the stale popcorn left behind on movie theater floors.

Mad at myself for skipping out on this initially because I can be picky with waxy scents. This is lovely! A sweet honeyed wax with a touch of smoky vetiver. It smells close to vanilla at times? I'm not getting much of that vetiver, which can be a good thing if you are iffy on that note. I think I do prefer this to Bloody Corridors, this is a lot sweeter.

Deep, rich aged Snake Oil with lots of musky dragon's blood and honeyed patch. The blood is the strongest on me initially, but within about 15 minutes it softens and I can smell the fainter patchouli and honey. Snake Oil itself is kind of faint in here until it's dry and then you can easily tell this is a SO blend. The throw is pretty strong which I appreciate! This is very sexy, I might enjoy this more than regular Snake Oil now! If you don't like dragon's blood but are intrigued in this blend regardless, in my experience that note does fade considerably within a few minutes. Highly recommend trying if you can find it.

This really does smell like bloodied lemons. It's very metallic and coppery dragon's blood, thick and heavy. The lemon, which I didn't think it would do because the blood note starts off very strong, does overtake it once dry. Which to me makes it slightly more wearable, but it's still a very odd scent. I do like the lab's bloody perfumes I have tried, and lemons. But together I don't think it works too well. It's a little strange. I picture this would be the scent of a bloody lemonade made by a vampire. Sweet sugary tart lemons and thick blood. Would recommend trying this if it sounds interesting to you, it's a pretty unique scent.

This review is for the 2008 release of Beaver'Versary! It's a very cake heavy scent with vanilla cream cheese frosting. It smells a little lemony to me, which I'm guessing is the cheesecake since I don't think that is a listed note. This is a really good cake scent: the vanilla smells true and doesn't turn into a plasticky scent like some vanillas BPAL have used does. I've seen comparisons to Cake Smash which I also have and I would agree they are slightly similar, although I think I prefer this. If you can find it, I suggest at least trying a decant. I can't compare this to the 2005 Beaver Moon, but the 'Versary is excellent.

Very sweet mocha coffee. I don't personally smell any cheesecake, but it does smell creamy like coffee creamer. While it is heavy on the coffee, I'd say it's closer to a frappucchino than a pure coffee scent. The chocolate and sweet cream is very strong. Not my favorite coffee, but it is really good. If you want a hint of coffee but mostly the chocolate, this is nice!

Hmm, I wanted to like this since I enjoy boozy scents and the other notes. And this could be due to age since this is a discontinued scent and it wasn't a full imp. But on me, it is very faint. By far, one of the closest to skin smelling scents I have tried by BPAL to date. All I am getting scent wise is the faintest hint of orange blossom. I really can't smell anything else, and I'm shocked I can even smell this. It's almost linen like. While I do not hate it, the fact that it's showing up like a single note on me and that the wear and throw are horrible make this not worth upgrading for me.

This review is for the 2009 version! Warm spiced baked apples, creamy milk and lots of sugary vanilla. It gets close to smelling like a cereal at times, like the apple cinnamon Cheerios. It's soft and comforting, this would be a lovely bedtime scent if you enjoy apples.

More peppermint heavy than pine in my case. This isn't like peppermint candies at all, more like peppermint extract or the plant itself. It's not sweet just minty. The pine was faint on me but what I could smell it was very woodsy. Very low throw too. While I find it interesting that they decided to go with a more natural peppermint scent, it just wasn't my thing as I'm used to peppermint candies. If you prefer a more natural smelling peppermint, you might like this.

Very sweet mix of honeyed wine and champagne with lots of plum. You would think it would smell dark with the blood musk, black wine, etc. but it really smells light and sugary. At times, it resembles Smarties almost? Not like Pruno did on me with the chalkiness, just a mix of fruity sugars. While boozy, it doesn't smell too boozy. The grapes and plum are very strong. I like it, but it is a little faint. Pretty good!

This is very pretty. Lots of dark red roses and red musk. The amber overtakes the roses a little bit once dry. It's a sweet rose blend, definitely don't miss this if you are a big fan of roses! It doesn't get too strongly floral even though it's mostly rose. Pretty good throw as well, which I appreciate. Love this, might upgrade!

I mostly got sweetened wax from this? Like a mix of beeswax, faint smoke, and oak. A little unusual, I think this could have worked better as a perfume. But it definitely matches the atmosphere of a dusty abandoned building which is pretty cool. It's just a little too much wax for my taste.

Now this is good, it's reminding me of Meigetsyu Ya in a way? That one is a frozen mandarin, and this is somewhat similar to that just with peaches and some florals. It is verrrry faint sadly, unlike Ya. I definitely see that soap resemblance once it starts to fade, but I like it. The initial wet frozen peach state was lovely, I wish that stuck around longer with a better throw! Won't be upgrading though.

Oddly, this was closer to pumpkin spice cinnamon buns? I think it's the clove and tobacco making this read that way maybe? The pumpkin note itself was barely present, the other notes are stronger. Especially the patchouli! While it does resemble food some, I wouldn't call this foodie. It is pretty interesting and I'd recommend trying this out if you think the notes would work for you!

Very faint on me, the lily and ginger are very strong on me. This is discontinued, so I'm sure this was lovelier fresh with those purple fruits! Not my favorite, but not bad enough to get rid of yet. The lily is very nice, even if it starts to go a little baby powdery ish.

I'm hoping my imp was just mislabeled because it smells gross. No orange, so this leaves me to believe it could also be very old if it's not a mislabel. It's kind of medical like some reviews mention, but on me it leaned more towards like a metallic greasy burnt scent? Very strange because I've tried all three of these notes in other blends and while I'm not crazy about pine, they don't smell anything like this does. I wanted to like this because of the eucalyptus and orange, but this was a let down. If I get frimped this again, I'll retest.

Faint grassy green tea with some moss and green plants. It goes away super quickly though. The hemp starts to overtake most of the notes on me as it's fading along with the sandalwood. It's just okay, might like it better if the throw and staying power were better.
