My first BPAL to try!
When I first put it on, it seemed very sweet. Lots of fruit. Now a few minutes later, it has dried a bit into more amber, with that touch of fruit.
Throughout this whole thing, it has screamed 'PERFUME' at me. Maybe it's the amber. Maybe it's some florals in there. I dunno, don't have a good nose yet. This prevents me from loving it, at the moment, but I'll be keeping it to try again later. It's still nice. Just... yeah.
BPAL number two!
VERY sharp, biting. It's not as strong a scent as Hymn to Proserpine, or maybe I just didn't put on as much. The 'clean' of the reviews is right. Kinda air freshener-y. Dries down a little less sharp. Rather floral.
I wish I liked this one more. *try again later*
(Though, smelling my wrists together, I think this could actually layer well with HtP, but maybe that's just me. )
Pine. Pine. Why so pine?
This one seemed complex in the imp, but mostly I'm getting pine when first applied. It reminds me of... track. Running outside, plus shoe freshener. Hrm... Maybe. Still not really feeling it.
Oh my oh my. What is that? Anise? Oooh, and under it, licorice. I smell so yummy! And cave-y at the same time too. I like it. I really like it. But will I wear it? It's really strongly licorice, I don't know if I want to smell that much like licorice.
Smells quite a bit like La Belle Dame Sans Merci. I guess it's the aquatics. It settled down very nicely, I quite like it. Not so air freshenery, though still a bit. Do I want to smell like this...?
As a freebie in my last order. I HATEDESPISE candy corn. But it came in a nifty roller ball! Maybe I can find something to decant it into and give it away, or use it or throw it out so I can clean out the roller ball for my own use. Hrm...
