    Sweet, creamy, lemony, musk with a passing whiff of tea. This is such a lovely scent -- it's comforting and smells almost like a non-scent to me. Sort of as if you just smelled really yummy, all on...

    This, like Morocco, is one of BPAL's most accessible fragrances. On me, it's a sugared creamy vanilla, dark tea, and pale musk scent. I've never got the lemon note that so many people insist is...

    I really enjoy wearing Dorian. On me it is a sweet, lemony, vanilla-ish tea scent. Difficult to describe, but lovely to wear. It works beautifully with my skin chemistry. I already have a 5 ml...

    I was desperately hoping to like this. It sounded so perfect: tea, sugar, lemon- what's not to love? Unfortunately, when I wear this, I get very little tea and lemon and lots of masculine musk. ...

    I like this one! Smells like a creamy sugared tea with a musky undertone. On me the musk deepens but the scent retains the lovely sweet tea note. This scent is comforting but sometimes the musk is...

    This is probably one of Bpals more accessible scents and is the perfect blend of a very soft vanilla, tea and lemon. I dont get any musk here at all, though the description does say three musks. It...

    I like this a lot but if I had never encountered Shalimar Light, I would be blown away. Because I've had lot of experience with powdery lemon vanilla scents I'm not as impressed. A good option for...

    I love the idea of perfume oils, they produce a much more "natural" scent and they last all day and I love the fact often times the scent evolves into something different. But, I have had a hard...

    I should start this review by mentioning that vanilla is usually disastrous on me. A blend can be loaded with every single one of my favourite notes (see Bearded Lady), but it turns rancid on my...

    Didn't care for Dorian the first few times I tried it (the musk was OVERWHELMING) - just swabbed some on from my imp and the musk seems more tame / sophisticated. Nice bright lemon bergamot...

    I am utterly obsessed with Oscar Wilde, and I have liked most of the (relatively few) bpal scents I've tried, and I wanted so very much to like this. . .but I just don't. I don't get any tea, very...

    Not headshoppy, phew! Creamy lemon almost flipping to apricot. Touch of green too. Nice potency, not overwhelming like, for example, Lust, which... "wore me" yesterday.

    The top notes are definitely a smooth blend of lemon and tea with a dash of sugar and cream. However, those notes almost instantly fade into something that's slightly old and musty. The words that...

    Smells exactly as the site described and is best bet to avoid head shop smells. Try this one, and I think you will be won over to BPAL

    It's all true - Dorian is splendid. The descriptions below are bang on - a sugar-lemon-milky-tea-and-ginger-snap delight of a fragrance that lasts all day and is an absolute pleasure! I was told...

    Frankly, after reading all the reviews on BPAL, I was planning to buy a big bottle of this unsniffed. But fate intervened and I was able to buy a 5 ml off a forumite (no 2 month wait!...
