Been a long time since I had the chance to test fragrances but have a week off and thought I'd get around to trying some BPAL frimps I received.

 

Drink Me - I can't believe it, but this really does smell of roast meat, cherry tart and pineapple. The cherry's too fake for my nose, and pineapple I'm not generally too fond of. This one is more about appreciating Beth's artistry than something I'd wear personally.

 

Inferno - I like the BPALs with fewer rather than more notes. Though BPAL almond doesn't work so well on me, the neroli does. I only had enough for one trial in the imp I got; it's pretty nice but I wouldn't go out of my way to get another.

 

Seance - alas, instant hate. It has that awful fresh rose note that just clashes with my body chemistry and I have to wash this off, can't even wait to see if I eventually get the rosewood. Sigh.

 

Goblin - the benzoin doesn't seem so sweet, but I like the coconut - is much truer and savoury as the actual meat is in real life. Is quite nice to sample after Seance not liking me so much!

 

Djinn - more like a fresh, green forest burning than smoke, ashes and flames. Reminds me of winter and logfires burning.

 

Thorns - oh my, this is a surprise! Dragon's blood definitely but with something like burnt patchouli and maybe benzoin? I can't see myself wearing it but I've put it in the "retest" pile to make sure... It has very strong throw.

Oooh, I remember Drink Me, smelt just like a rich, spiced upsidedown pineapple cake on me. Not one I could wear often, but must get my imp out to sniff again.
