    I absolutely love Dorian, it is delicious and amazing, and I wear it quite often. To my nose, when I wear it, I get the tea and the citrus and a hint of the vanilla, but other people tell me that...

    I smell roses with pale musk and leaves. Very nice, but not getting much fougere. It dries down okay, but has a suggestion of kiddy cologne somehow, with some lily of the valley paleness to it....

    Keep in mind my bottle of Dorian is from like, 12 years ago. I had a phase where I spent hundreds of dollars on BPAL scents -- and mind you, these were college dollars, meaning they were much...

    While I think this could work very well for men looking for a musky tea scent, but it's not for me. Posted April 23, 2005 on BPAL.org "Category: Tea/Vanilla Rating: 2/5; Lovely, but too much...

    Oh Dorian... I love antfarm's review of this! Like every other BPAL fragrance I have tried, this stinks. It doesn't matter that it doesn't smell like a hippie head shop, it still smells cheap and...

    Dorian is magical. Some detractors and critics of BPAL say that all of their scents smell like a hippie-filled, patchouli-burning head shop right in the heart of Haight-Ashbury in SF in the...

    Why did I wait so long to try Dorian? It's fantastic, one of my favorites from BPAL. Musky, lemony, vanilla, sweet yet a bit masculine. Big bottle purchase for sure. A very sexy scent.

    Smells of too-sweet lemon when it is still wet, but quickly transforms into a generic aerosol-like spray. It reminds me of the cheap toiletry kits they give you during long international flights.

    Perhaps because BPAL scents are hand-blended, each bottle comes out significantly different, but on my skin this smelled like someone rubbed Brut deodorant over a lemon cookie. I like the smell of...

    Dorian is my absolute favorite BPAL scent! It's perfect for me - it's relatively light, has good throw, and when it's very dry to the point of disappearing, the musk is light and unobtrusive. It's...

    This doesn't smell masculine on me at all. It's a creamy, soft vanilla lemon but not sugary sweet by any means. It's one of the lighter more wearable BPALS ime. It's not my favorite BPAL but I...

    It's sugared lemon with slightly masculine base. I know that doesn't sound appealing (esp since I didn't think I would like Dorian) but mmm it's so sexy and underwhelming. At this stage a woman...

    Mmmm, this is so refined, so (tastefully) sexy! At first I get a lot of cologney-musk mixed in with the sugared lemon tea, but then the musk fades and the scent warms up, so it's more like lemon...
