I'm seeing this relisted everywhere-- not sure if that means everyone liked it or everyone didn't like it! Hot damn this is good. It smells like fake banana candy in the most satisfying way. That's not a note I would have purposely sought out, but I had a "ehhhh, what the hell, I can spend a couple dollars to try something different" moment when getting some decants, and this has become one of my most memorable BPALs. I've never had anyone be like "oo-wee, what's that FAKE BANANA?!" or anything, so I guess I'm fine? Haha.

Seems a lot of these foodie "long list of notes" scents don't get the attention they deserve. I'm new at describing scents, so bear with me as I try to do anything but relist the notes. Something that strikes me about this one is that it morphs quickly and fades quickly, but the first "hit" is SO good that I'm considering getting a bottle just so I can keep applying that first note over and over, haha. In the bottle: odd and pinchy. nothing like what it smells like wet (and it's not just my skin, it smells different wet even if you put it on an object). I wouldn't smell this in the bottle and try to conclude anything about it. Wet: strong chocolate and a moderate amount of honey (maybe the womb furie honey/ies? something deep). I don't smell much cinnamon. Drydown: Miiiild cinnamon and honey. On me, not great wear, medium throw length. I don't care, I still love this.

OK, I smell: vanilla (see: my username; this is my top favorite BPAL scent), chocolate, honey, and pumpkin. I love wearing this to go to sleep and even put it on my special blankie, which would normally be heresy.

This is one of my top-3 of all time. The 'abalone' note is hard to describe-- I have heard people say that the first note that hits is 'bubblegum', but I don't smell that at all. I'm not actually sure what that first note is, but that's the one I consider abalone. The 'vulva' title is apt to me; this smells musky and watery, but not in the traditional bpal aquatic sense. For me this feels "low/deep" rather than sharp or high-pitched, with maybe a very very subtle high-pitched element playing softly in the background. This seems quite polarizing to me; if someone is easily grossed out by biological scents, I can see them not liking it, though I also do smell an ambery, perfumey smell as well. Gosh, this is hard to describe, I was hoping to do better! You only need a small amount.

[womb furie 2022] This was recommended to me in a fb group when I asked for realistic sex scents. I'm not so sure about that, but boy oh boy does it smell like "deep" honey. Prior to this my favorite honey was Bears of Berlin, but compared to this BoB is so light/white that I can barely smell it. This is incredible. Hunted down a bottle immediately.

Whew. This is strong. When I smelled I understood what you guys mean about it smelling like-- well, a black lily-- it does intuitively seem like that. But I accidentally got enough on me that I had to shower, turned myself off of it, and now am trying to sell mine off. Too much!
