The wonderful Miss Ralenth let me escape her Meet'n'Sniff with this imp from the lab. It was LOVE at first sniff! The reminds me of The Phantom Cow of Yerba Buena Island. The milk note is the same for my nose. Simply replace the herbal greenery from Phantom Cow with beautiful aquatics and you get the Sea Foams Milk. Its light and pretty, one of the few scents that my DH commented about with out my asking his opinion. (yes, he likes it on me too!) Over all this is quickly becoming one of my top BPAL scents! Edited for spelling

I have mixed feelings about this scent. In the bottle it smells really lovely, the apples are there, as is the creaminess. Wet it starts to amp the cinnamon a little too much, drowning out any milky depth. It became a flat "Country Apple and Cinnamon" air freshener scent on me. Drying down continued to give me that air freshener feeling. After about 30-45 minutes the milk returned and it got better. Perhaps I'll let this settle more before I stick it in the swap pile. It really made me sad.

The Phantom Cow of Yerba Buena Island

Schackjj - my BPAL angel - picked up the C:15 scents for me. I read the reviews of this scent and thought that this would probably not work with my skin chemistry. I am so happy to have been wrong! In the bottle: I smell the greenery and the sweetness of the milk. It reminds me a the GAP Grass scent, but much more sweet. Wet: It is still green on me, but the milk is becoming a little more full and really starting to shape the scent. After 20 minutes: The grass scooted over to make room for the more herbal greenery. It smells yummy! It hangs close to my skin, but I catch light hints of it in the air as I move through my house. Sweet cream buttery hints with fresh grass and herbs. LOVE! -
I don't know if there are pictures posted of the convergence scents but I thought I'd share. I like these.

I should have known it was too good to be true! I really wanted to love this scent, I'm a big berry person, but the honey and fig musk did a tag team of squiffy-nes that left me sad. In the Bottle: astringent blueberries and fig. A little intense for me. Initial Wet: Yum, I smell the berries! Wait, wait - honey, oh why do you smell powdery and weird on me? After about 15 minutes: Honey and fig musk decided to amp themselves over the wonderful blueberries creating, as someone above mentioned, a berry scented dryer sheet on my skin. I think I'll let this one rest a bit from it's trip north from the lab and see if it gets any better for me. But, if it's anything like O, it will probably only get worse. Boo.

In the bottle: Fresh strawberries, sweet but not really a candy sweet for me. Wet: Cut grass with strawberry juice. Dry down: I get the milky dandelion and strwaberries. Stays very close to my skin, which is a shame. Over all: I am very happy with this scent. This is my first moon order and I am loving it. Wish it had a little more throw, but that's ok.

This was a scent that I ordered simply out of interest. I was curious as to how pepper and kumquats would smell together. In the bottle: Very sweet, and the pepper tickled my nose. Wet: The orange blossom came out a lot. At first I really thought that it would be too sweet for me to wear. Dry: By the time I got to work (about 20-30 minutes) it had dried down to where the pepper and orange blossom were working in a quirky harmony... the first thing that came to mind was good mischief. Over all: I love this scent. My job has me dealing with vendors and customers that tend to put me into a foul mood. I find that a little scent therapy (a quick sniff of my wrist) brightens my mood so that I can continue dealing with people. I hope that someone finds this helpful!
