Me thinking, this is a scrubber because it goes on a little woody and seems to evaporate immediately. And then me five hours later sitting in a café, wondering what smells so good and realizing it’s myself??? Please give this one time to work its magic! The wood disappears and what is left is a long lasting delicious cream and Amber skin scent that BPAL does best. I can’t speak to the recent release, but if you can get your hands on some of the original, I highly recommend it.

Unfortunately this one smells like ballsack. That’s not an exaggeration, it’s almost photorealistic. RIP 🥲
-
This one unfortunately doesn’t work for me too many flowers melding together in an unpleasant way with sickly sweet incense overlaid. The Jasmine is the strongest and it not a screechy Jasmine but is kind of ruined by the “me” “me” of the lilies (lilac is MIA)
-
Bright and punchy! Doesn’t last long but smells very freshly and lovely while it’s here. It’s definitely a yuzu plus tea scent , reminds me of a drink you could get in a Boba shop
-
Ugh this smells like sour BO on me, total skin chem fail unfortunately! actually I lied, the dry down is a sweet dry fruity floral! But WOOF that opening is rough
-
This doesn’t smell bad per se, but it does smell exactly like industrial bathroom cleaner. I’m not saying this smells like a dirty bathroom, it smells like a very clean bathroom. However, for me, the connotation makes it completely unwearable.

On the surface this is smoky oatmeal. A little deeper it’s a 1-1 match to the smell of burnt cotton on a vape pen. Iykyk. Not for me but someone will dig this!
-
Mmmm this smells like hay and corn cakes to me! Similar vibes of “with my scythe”. Sleeper hit of the 2023 weenies! gourmand leaning but would appeal to those who prefer more natural scents as well. I’m definitely getting a bit of floral as well, maybe the chamomile??
-
Ugh headache city. Leather why do you hate me so? No snake oil to be found.
-
All I’m getting is almond? It’s nice tho, not too in your face
-
This is a fresh/ripe peach and juice as opposed to a baked peach or a peach pie . Syrupy and juicy, extremely realistic. wasn’t sure how I felt about it at first, but it’s growing on me as a fall scent (would be even better in summer). Makes me feel like a farm girl lol
-
Sigh, this one was a disappointment. Definitely cherry, but I am not getting the lovely lab champagne note at all. This is incredibly sad for me because that is my favorite people note along with cherry so i thought this scent would be my holy grail! But it’s more of a cherry soda than cherry champagne. The cherry, however, is very nice. I am not a black cherry fan at least I don’t like BPAL black cherry very much. But this is like the perfect maraschino cherry. Keeping even tho the absence of champagne is sorely missed !

Yummy spicy floral!! A little bubblegum too? Quite nice! Nothing much to say, it’s lovely!
-
This is initially fruity but has a weird undertone. Kind of smells like bathroom cleaner, which I think is from the floral! The cherry is a muted dusty cherry Not for me!
-
Mmmm fruity and herbal and vanilla ! This scent is super well blended, I really can’t pick out a lot of individual notes in this. I’m honestly getting mostly like an herbal Dorian. Of course it’s not as good as Dorian it’s not lavender and vanilla but it is definitely like a sweet herb and it’s well blended. When I first tried this one I was kind of so-so about it, but right now, I’m really digging it. There’s a juicy juicy fruit note that is absolutely fantástic. Keeper!!

My first impression was “sweet resin dust”. And I thought to myself that maybe got a bad year , this isn’t as great as I was expecting given the price, rarity and hype. It smells primarily like red currant and sweet dust. It’s nice but it may be a tad overhyped Honestly though, it’s still very nice. It’s hard to hate anything that the BPAL puts out because they’re just that well-blended, it’s clearly a good quality perfume. BPAL to me is kind of like the Indie version of Kilian so even though this isn’t my favorite, it’s still immensely lovely and nice to wear, and I think I will definitely hold onto it. Very sweet resin it’s kind of intoxicating honestly, I like it more and more! Lasted like 4 1/2 hours I just got a cobalt partial and am excited to compare the two
-
I have never smelled real-life blackcurrant so I assume this is true to name! It’s wayyy too tart for my tastes though, and solidly at the last on the suf ranking.
-
My first thought was to that this one is kinda overwhelmingly perfumey. Not too much rice milk, mostly floral and greenery. The drive down on this is a lot nicer . That’s where I’m getting more of like the rice milk and it’s not as like strongly floral or astringent. Not my favorite, thought it would be a hit for me based on notes alone! This ones just ok
-
I gotta say, I’m obsessed with the anniversary scents I think they are among my favorites. There is such a lovely vanilla happening in this perfume, along with such a delicious creamy marshmallow, and a hint of snake oil in the back. This is snake milk’s daintier and shyer cousin. Honestly this is a just such a great wearable scent, a “crowd pleaser”. Rating: 9/10 (you will pry this from my cold dead fingers) I am still getting whiffs of delicious marshmallow for like 5 hours
-
Initial impression was “mmm a little masculiney snake oil moment”. Someone above described the tobacco as “chewy” and I can definitely see that! It’s not my fave snake oil blend but it’s a good and unique entry into the collection. There is a nice vanilla in background keeping it from too dank. However, I realized that it smells good up close but from a distance gives vomit vibes (has happened with a few BPALs unfortunately) Destash methinks
-
My initial impression is of bright candy cherry (almost jolly ranchers). however it it is kind of one-note cherry, I’m not getting any Dorian. It’s nice tho! As it dries there is a little herby moment happening but is still 95% all cherry! to me, this scent is “just okay”. Worth keeping but not what I was hoping when I read the description

• initial delicious blast of strawberry • Sweet and jammy , but no buttercream (good bc me and lab buttercream have a difficult relationship) • Can maybe smell a little pastry in this one which I didn’t get from any other suf scent • Lasted about 3 hours • Will be interesting to see how this ages
-
I had to test this one twice to gather my thoughts on it! test one: •oooo bread and yummy almond cream • Little anise makes interesting! • I love this one but it definitely won’t be for everyone! initial rating: 7/10 test two: Yummy bread with some kind of seed! Love the almond cream, really shines when scent is still wet. Cardamom is nice too (I’m normally not a cardamom person at all) You can almost taste this! final rating: 9/10 and an apology for ever doubting it

This is definitely a grass plus Dorian. It is very very heavy on the grass though. But the Dorian does have a nice grounding affect on the grass so it’s not just a purely green scent. There’s also some herbs to it (honestly gets a little weedy). A little too grassy for me, not enough Dorian. I will say that I do preferred the advanced drydown stage, because the grass is gone and it’s sort of just like a nice green Dorian moment. And I will also say that, like the other Dorian variants that I tried, this one is a laster. I’m about 3 1/2 hours into application, and I can still very strongly smell the Dorian’s I think this will be someone’s favorite, it’s just not mine.
