    In the bottle, this is pure almond extract, but on my skin, it's a much more complex blend of oats, milk, honey, almonds, and a hint of cherry. It's a lovely scent, but it doesn't really have that...

    Yes it smells like almond, in fact it reminds me *a lot* of Lush's snowcake. It's a nice scent I wear to work, I'm not crazy about it though. I like snake oil a lot more.

    Wow. I don't understand how Dana O'Shee can have so many fans. It is sickeningly sweet, and smells nothing like real almond, but has that atrocious artifical almond scent found in cheap almond...

    Dana O'Shee is definitely one of the better BPALs I have tried. It's a comforting, cozy mixture of cherry, honey, almond and vanilla, with just the slightest hint of powder. I won't purchase it...

    I'm a big fan of BPAL overall; but I don't understand the following Dana O'Shee has. Not only can I hardly smell it, I could get the same effect by slathering sweet almond oil on my skin....

    Oh, my -- it's the perfect marzipan! I only get a whiff of cherry-like strong almond from the vial; on my skin the milky notes diffuse through the almonds to mellow them and bring out the...

    A very creamy honey and milky oat blend; it's smooth and sweet, with good waft and lasting power. I found this a wonderfully pleasing scent, and don't wear it only because I don't think of myself...

    I love this fragrance oil. It smells very similar to Lush's Snowcake soap. Almondy and wonderful. This is pure almond, pure mazipan creamy deliciousness. Defintely one of my favorite BPAL...

    Nice fragrance, but a little to "almondy" for me. Received an Imp and will use that when I am in the mood for this fragrance. Otherwise, would not repurchase.

    This one smells soft. It's amazingly light and somehow 'white.' On, it smells bright and flowery, and settles into a uplifting flower scent without being cloying. I love it.

    As soon as I put this on, I adore it. It reminds me of SL Rahat Loukoum. Some time passes, and the almond softens. More vanilla emerges and I'm reminded of making almond cookies - It becomes a...

    A play-doughy almond scent similar to DSH Amande Delicat or Lady Evangeline. It also has the powdery note as in both of those which I dislike which is very apparent for the first 5-10 minutes but...

    I loved this scent. It is almondy, milky, sweet and oaty. Those probably aren't real words. Sorry! This fragrance reminds me of Jergens original lotion. They both have similar notes. The only...

    Seemed to have potential, but remained honeyed amaretto cookie. Very light, foody, the embodiment of nice or cute, but not a repurchase. Best as a layering scent.

    Tried the imp. I know this has many fans, but it fell flat, one dimensional, honey-almond scent on me and very very light. If you like honey-almond, the Auric Blends oil is much better IMO. I am...

    I've been aching to try this and now that I have, it's quite nice. This is a very innocent scent, a milky-almond that completely suppresses the honey. Unfortunately I didn't get the play-doh smell...

    I almost liked this one, for its honey-and-oatmeal qualities, but it ended up being too sickly-sweet. But, then, I'm really not into the almond-extract smell that so many people like. If marzipan...

    Very light scent. Smells of almonds and play-dough. Not for me.
