How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
How skilfully she builds her cell!
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labours hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.
In works of labour or of skill,
I would be busy too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.
In books, or work, or healthful play,
Let my first years be passed,
That I may give for every day
Some good account at last.
Pollen-dusted honey, diligent tonka, steadfast chamomile, and goodly hyssop.
A sensual scent, compelling and passionate, that stays close to the skin: Roman chamomile, bourbon vanilla, and smoky vanilla bean.
Wonder and love and great sorrow shook Schmendrick the Magician then, and came together inside him, and filled him, filled him until he felt himself brimming and flowing with something that was none of these. He did not believe it, but it came to him anyway, as it had touched him twice before and left him more barren than he had been. This time, there was too much of it for him to hold: it spilled through his skin, sprang from his fingers and toes, welled up equally in his eyes and his hair and the hollows of his shoulders. There was too much to hold, too much ever to use; and still he found himself weeping with the pain of his impossible greed. He thought, or said, or sang, I did not know that I was so empty, to be so full;.
Unexplored potential: sweet, raw tobacco leaves, chamomile, clary sage, meadow sage, Mysore sandalwood, sultana raisins, and caramel.

Cold and little bitter… grapefruit and mint are the most prominent on my skin.

When I smelled this scent in the bottle I wasn’t the biggest fan, it smelled like fruit cake. However, when I put it on it completely transformed and I love it! It smells fruity and powdery in the best way possible. It also perfectly encapsulates the esoteric and zany nature of the Cheshire Cat!

absolutely enchanting. great hints of fruit and playful undertones.

This is so beautiful. It reminds me of the mainstream Maison Francis Kurkdjian Petit Matin!

I received my order for the Cheshire Cat perfume oil this morning, and I absolutely love it.
The only reason I didn’t write this perfume oil the full five stars is because, the scent is a little overwhelming in the bottle. But when applied to my skin, it’s a different story.
When smelling the Cheshire cut perfume oil straight out of the bottle I get the sense of current and dark Musk. I’m not entirely sure about how I feel with just those two sense mixing together.
However, once applied to the skin, I can still smell the scent of currents but the Musk trails away, and is replaced with the grapefruit note.
The best way to describe the perfume scent, is that of a fruit marmalade candy, mixed with some sort of earthy freshness. I’m guessing that would be from the lavender.
As the perfume wears down, it starts to become even sweeter. Kind of like a naturally fruity scent top with a bit of sugar just to accentuate the sweetness even further.
The grapefruit note is the one that is the most long-lasting in this fragrance, on my skin.
Overall, I think Cheshire Cat is a beautiful perfume scent that would be lovely when, especially worn in the spring and summer months.
I’m eager to see how Cheshire Cat will change over time ?

I got this imp from a friend of mine. The first thing that hit me was the citrus sent mixed with an almost orange blossom. On me, that fades rather quickly. Like within an hour. After that I’m left with soft floral notes. I can definitely smell the lavender. It’s not something I’d typically wear but I’m pleased to try it out. It’s good with my chemistry and not as overpowering as other BPAL sents on me. A good everyday office sent.

The first time I got to smell this one I fell in love with it. Still one of my all time favourites! In the bottle it smells citrusy, sweet and it’s rather sharp but has a soft undertone of what I think is lavender. On the skin it smells like grapefruit, but now it has gone a bit floral as well so it’s not as sharp anymore. The lavender is nowhere to be found on me. Still a sweet, fresh scent.

Bright citrus scent while wet..drys down to reveal more delicate notes.
I paired this one with Magus on my arm…really lovely, uplifting combo.
Lots of good, happy terpenes here.

Tart, juicy, true grapefruit. Sometimes I can pick out a hint of red currant berries or cool lavender, but it’s mostly grapefruit.

This is quite pretty and a little bit crazy smelling. It’s soft and harmonizing, but as you inhale deeper, there’s a little bit of tart craziness in the grapefruit and musk. Very lovely!

I received a frimp of this in a recent purchase. It is a lavender blend with green herbal notes. It is very fresh and clean. Though not exactly my thing, I gave it to a friend who immediately put it on and had a smile on her face.

Out ov the vial, very citrusy and abit herbal too. As it dries on my it gets softer and the chamomiles comes out as do the other florals, it gets sweeter too. I do agree with the other poster that there is something reminicent of clean, fresh cat litter but only as a background scent. I think it’s because it is a very clean scent. It is quite strong I put just a dab on the crook of my elbow and I can get whiffs of it with my arm outstretched. It’s a very nice smell but not necessarily my thing. (I tend to like either very sweet smells, or musky/spicey/woody smells. Not usually into florals.)

An interesting one. “Curious,” if you will.
Opening the bottle to sniff, it smells sharp and citrusy.
Used sparingly (before I open it, I flip the bottle once, and dab just the residue from around the lip of the vial), it smells sweet and powdery (not like baby powder. More kitty powdery…I mean this in a good way…maybe some cat owners will know what I’m talking about) with just a hint of the sharper floral scents.
If I cup the open bottle against my wrist and then tip it, the full blown scent is very floral and the soft, sweet powdery scent is gone.
I recommend using this one sparingly, as it’s very strong otherwise.
