Looking for a BPAL that Resembles a Favorite Perfume
ix_tab replied to Ina Garten Davita's topic in Recommendations
Still looking for this! I'm making my first BPAL order soon, so if anyone does know, pleaaaase tell me, cos I need more of that scent in my life. -
In the bottle: I can't separate the notes, and its a lot sharper then I expected. I didn't love it from first sniff. Splashed on: Oooh this is beautiful. I get a faint sandalwood behind the vanilla and peach. It adds complexity and matures the very sweet smell. After a few hours: Still there, mellowed and soft, like incense smoke, without the smoke! I really like this scent. Sometimes it almost smells honey like, and then goes back to the vanilla and peach. After several hours: All gone! Decent staying power, not super long lasting. Doesn't matter, I'm happy to reapply! Overall, a beautiful, feminine scent that isn't girly. The sandalwood stops it being candylike, and it makes me happy to wear it. A really warming scent, good for summer, or maybe just wishing it were a bit warmer!

I searched for this, but couldn't find any answers. Is there any BPAL scent similar to Arcana's Queen Crossbones? I recieved a frimp of Queen Crossbones and fell in love, only to discover that Arcana have discontinued it! -
Hurruh, my first smell review! In the bottle: Very herby, almost savoury. Reminds me of broken greenery. It's not an overwhelming scent, it slowly appears. Wet: Very nice indeed. On the skin, the scent becomes warmer, and the sweetness, which I couldn't detect before comes out. Again it's like the smells of a forest, but not tropical or pine. Bruised leaves, and small flowers. Settling in: The scent seems to have gone a bit powdery, almost soapy. Very sweet now, not much of the herby essence left. After a few hours: The powder has gone away, leaving a delicate warm mingled sweet smell. No single notes discernable, but it's a lovely scent. And as I was getting into bed, I took an experimental sniff of my wrist, and could still find the scent. So it's got decent staying power also.
