   I don’t know how this is possible, but it smells exactly like my grandmother who passed away when I was young. It’s not similar, it is EXACT. She was young when she passed. She was very classy and took great pride in her appearance and environment and her perfume matched everything about her. This one is a very clean floral smell that doesn’t give off too much“old lady” vibes, rather more a timeless smell that any age group could wear. It is extremely feminine so definitely avoid this one if you are wanting to smell manly or gender neutral. I got this as a sample in a previous order. After being blown away and flooded with memories I bought myself a bottle and gave my father the smaller sample bottle to keep for himself. It’s a smell I am confident to wear and it brings me great comfort!

   My boyfriend’s absoulte favorite scent! A lightly aquatic floral, it smells like lying by the lake in a forest snuggling your significant other in the sunshine.

   I love this perfume. I ordered it as part of a group of imps for a friend who loves BPAL. This was my first ever purchase from the lab because I was leery of the idea of buying perfume before you got the chance to see what it smells like. I didn’t think I would ever buy anything for me. But when I smelled this imp, it changed my mind. I gave the imp to my friend (as planned), then bought a bottle for me. And I’ve been exploring BPAL ever since. Because any company that can create scents like this deserves my patronage, even if it means buying “blind”.

   It’s taken me a long time to review this one, though, because I’m not sure how to describe it. The orchid is the strongest note on me. I’m not getting an incense vibe from this one at all. Instead it’s a pretty, clean smelling floral. Florals can sometimes become overly sweet on me, but this one avoids that trap. It just continues to radiate a cool, garden scent. I guess that’s what makes it a “white” floral. It’s got a decent throw (not overpowering on me, like the other reviewer said), but enough so you know it’s there. And it lasts all day without reapplication. To me, it’s a perfect perfume.

   This is a soft, lovely floral. Sometimes florals go powdery on my skin, but this one fortunately does not. It is very fresh and reminds me of something comforting from my childhood, but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. Average throw, but has some serious long lasting power. I really like this one!

   This was a free sample, thank you BPAL! I love companies who promote their products that way. Instant happiness!

   “Oberon” is a versatile perfume. On my lady skin it was all white floral. It’s quite sharp at first, but as it drys it mellows into a very soft and delicately clean floral scent with a hint of sweet-smelling powder. It reminds me of my aunts, who were all delicate-boned and lacy.

   On my friend’s dude skin it is much more earthy and musky. The patchouli is more dominant and there is an herbaceous note that keeps it from being too “old lady” floral. It smells like a boy who has rolled around outside and ended up in the flower bed.

   White florals are not really “me” but if they were this would be one I’d have. The longer you wear it, the better it smells. Good longevity. Non-invasive if applied lightly.

   Was pleasantly surprised to receive this as an extra. This scent is beautiful, softly floral and earthy. As if someone has lit incense in a fresh garden. I wish to bathe in it, and sleep under the moon in an overgrown field. And I never favor floral tones but it lingers delicately.
