One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following diabolical device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of one hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The first atomic decay would have poisoned it. The Psi function for the entire system would express this by having in it the living and the dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a “blurred model” for representing reality. In itself it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.
A paradoxical scent experiment! – tangerine, sugared lime, pink grapefruit, oakmoss, lavender, zdravetz, and chocolate peppermint.
No cats were mistreated during the formulation of this paradox, or in the process of creating this perfume.
True, perfect golden light, refined into an incomparably glorious scent.
The Dark Side of Earth: deep, brooding forest scents, including juniper and patchouli. The scent of upturned cemetery loam mingling with floral offerings to the dead.
A disconcerting scent, heavy and oppressive, through which no light, no matter, and no spirit can escape. Black opium, labdanum, opoponax, black orchid, and benzoin.

I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed the weirdest scent I’ve ever loved! The coconut is by far the strongest note for me, and it’s a strong, bitter botanical rather than a dessert or suntan lotion smell. Hazelnut comes out more as it dries down, but the almost astringent quality of the coconut and other botanicals in this keeps going strong. I completely disagree with other reviewers who say it smells powdery or feminine or like any chain store perfumes. Things hit different noses differently, but to me this smells like toxic and acrid plants, like an apothecary’s workshop where you shouldn’t be tasting anything!

I also find this is a great summer scent. The coconut stands out at first and then it becomes a bit powdery and floral, with a tang of musk.

Ladies, are you familiar with “Dream Angels Heavenly” by Victoria’s Secret? This is a dupe, and smells nearly identical in every way, in MY opinion. I’m not saying AT all that Bpal copied that fragrance, as the notes are different, but the combination of notes Bpal used creates a very similar experience. Black Pearl is soft, very feminine, skin musky and baby powdery, just like VS Heavenly. I received this as a sample but won’t be ordering a bottle, as it’s not for me. It’s also very reminiscent of Jean Paul Gaultier for men….the original one in the mannequin bottle; also nearly identical.

This is my summer scent. Just smelling it puts me in a beachy mood, especially if I pair it with a little salt spray in my hair and my favorite sandals.

When I open the bottle all I smell is coconut, and I love the smell of coconuts! Wet on the skin I get a hint of floral and the hazelnut but it’s still mostly coconut. Once dry the coconut tones down and let the iris, the hazel and the musk. It is lovely! On me on the other hand the scent fades away a bit, sadly.

I am so confused by this scent. At first, all I could smell was cheesy feet (I know, I know!!!) but that may just be how straightforward chocolate morphs on me. I want to give the Lab’s chocolate notes another shot (I do love a few that have it in the background), but I don’t think this is my chocolate blend.

I get a sweet, tropical scent when I first put it on that dries to a nice powdery coconut. It smells like coconut sunblock is supposed to smell like. I keep getting a vanilla sugar smell that doesn’t overpower or have too much sweetness. It’s delightful.

My all-time favorite scent, subtle and soft and a little powdery, with just enough coconut to make it smell summery. I wear it every day in the summer.

I really enjoyed this. Coconut strong in the vial but nearly disappears on the drydown. The rest lingers lightly, eventually leaving just the wisps of musk.
