Beaver Moon: Blackberry and Tobacco Absolute
icecreamcone replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I’m legit buying five more bottles at least. Blackberry & Tobacco Absolute is a beautiful and rich scent. The blackberries are so juicy and the tobacco is playing co-star perfectly in the background giving this scent DEPTH. It smells like the most expensive blackberry jam ever. There’s warmth and maybe slight caramel or sweetness with the pipe tobacco. And it’s got amazing sillage - this is not a quiet scent! It’s been wafting for hoursss. An absolute stunner! -
Bright fruity scent that’s a bit murky (something in the depths). No citrus notes listed but citrus-lovers might still enjoy as the color feels deep orange or red. Gustavo Doré painted The Acrobat in two versions. France has the brighter version where this perfume label comes from, but I’ve seen the darker version in a museum in the US. I spent a lot of time standing in front of it studying it. It’s very unsettling. I think Bpal did a good job making something beautiful with a hint of despair whispering in the background.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s getting a banana note from this! I know it’s not listed, but on skin it smells like mashed bananas with a little bit of sweetness added.

Orange & Creme flavored “Creme Savers” hard candy. There is a soft musk to this, almost vanilla musk! Glad to not be getting the plastic note a few of the other Blow Mold scents have. Likely will upgrade to a bottle but won’t need a backup.

Sweet Tooth smells like 2005’s Trick or Treat, only darker like with a heavy caramel! Trick or Treat is basically a Candy Corn Single Note - while Sweet Tooth is Candy Corn + Caramel. At some point I’d like to do a side by side comparison with them, but I’ll probably end up keeping both since I’m a bit of a candy girl.

The Treat Keeper: Bottle Sniff is nothing special. First applied, it starts off a bit sugary with slightly sour apples. Then the magic happens! Maybe ten minutes later it smells like apple-flavored hard candy (think Jolly Ranchers). At this point the sourness has faded and is only in the background to add some complexity. Overall this is a really good apple candy scent! I’ll be keeping the decant and possibly will upgrade to a full bottle. Edit: On drydown it loses its candy/sugary scent and is sour mashed apples. Will retest another day!

Dark musk with a hint of sweetness! I love this more than I thought I would. I have two bottles but will likely get at least one more before the collection comes down. Two friends have tried mine and bought their own! Beautiful!

On my skin Raminou smells like red musk and sweet tea. I know tea is not listed in the notes, but this is what it reminds me of. The last cup of sweet black tea from the pitcher, plus red musk. I will be keeping my bottle.

Eden is a mix between foody and floral on my skin. It starts of sweet but morphs to remind me of tropical flowers.
-
Velvet starts off chocolatey and after about five minutes a vanilla woodsy scent comes out. It's kind of sweet and delicate but also has a powerful edge. Curious if it would be a good out-on-town scent.
-
The Dormouse reminds me of linden blossom/dryer sheets. If you're a fan of clean laundry scents, it could be worth trying.
-
Xiuhtecuhtli smells like a nice floral/clean scent with musk in the background, somehow it feels kind of beachy.

Dirty smells like a strong laundry detergent. I think anyone who loves the smell of clean laundry would be into this!
