    I liked the scent, but not necessarily for me. I have other incense blends (Hymn and Rose Cross) that I love to wear and blend so this isn't a keeper for me. The carnation is lovely in the blend,...

    This is a love! My first BPAL scent that i've adored. It has some of my favourite notes; jasmin, vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, incense & iris.... It's beautiful. It starts out very earthy, almst...

    I have to agree with most people...this is green but not too green, floral but not too floral and earthy but not too earthy. Its a perfect blend of all three families. Its like sitting in a...

    This one's an easy yes - on me it's rich, heady, and balanced. Patchouli is historically great with my chemistry, and here it prevents the jasmine (one of my favorite all-time scents, but I have to...

    My chemistry is really being wacky with this one, although in a strangely pleasant way. In the imp I get an incensey kind of scent. However, on the skin it becomes...amber. Honestly, it smells like...

    My first BPAL imp. I had avoided BPAL because of--well, because of the names. Just too self-consciously goth. Anyway, The Caterpillar crawled out of its vial and grabbed hold of my finger with its...

    Blech! All I could smell was soap & musk. I tried wearing it, but had to wash it off after 10 minutes because I could not stand it.

    On me this was very earthy, almost loamy. Brought up images of of walking through a great, dense forest at dusk, where you have to focus on the moist earth, scattered with decaying leaves so you...

    Jasmine hit me as soon as I opened the sample but my nose thought it could smell rose too. As it is drying, and with great concentration, I can just catch the carnation, a slightly peppery effect....

    I just got this in a swap and I'm so glad I did. At first it's a sweet jasmine then it mellows into a floral/incense-y fragrance. Besides the jasmine I smell spicy carnations along with the other...

    This is one COMPLICATED scent. It's green, but it's not "green"... it's floral-y, but it's dark and woody and mossy... in other words, it is exactly what I would expect The Caterpillar's (from...
