Really really leafy.
-
Starts with mass quantities of lilac. It's starting to separate into the individual notes, which is nice. A little bit of a salty overtone — not so good. That moves in and out, hopefully mostly out. The florals are well-matched, with no single one dominating.
-
Oooh, the bubbly note is right on top! It takes a while for the roses to make an appearance. It's a bright rose, nice, with the champagne now in the background. And then it's nothing but rose.
-
Whoo that's fizzy! The cigars come up slowly, waiting for the fizz to fade. The fizzyness is dominant on me, overpowering the cigars.
-
I smell the chocolate first, and the champagne is just a light note here. Oh, that's yummy. That's really nice. Now the chocolate is starting to fade and the champagne is coming back. I think we could use chocolate and sex without the champagne.
-
Starts as a grapey-winey scent. I thought it would be similar to a Road Opener oil that I have, but it's very different. It's not a great scent on me, but then again that's not the point of it!
-
Blast of flowers!!!! It's a little powdery, but that works with this scent. It's really beautiful, blended in a way that is balanced and has no one note or other coming up.
-
Pizzelles! It's the anisette from pizzelles and something — the coal dust? — gives the baking side of it. And mom used to whip me when I made them. Ok, not really. But it does very much remind me of baking them, and I have the pizzelle iron downstairs somewhere... Anyway, it's very nice on me. Good stuff.
-
Thankfully I do not get the coffee. :-) Mostly it's the incense coming up, and I really like incense scents. And the pancake syrup is slithering up nicely.
-
Yum, foody caramel! The berry is coming up, too. And a hint of butter. This is nice, it's the berries that I get the most.
-
I seem to like the dead & embalming scents. Does that make me a dead head? Anyway, it's spicy with a very light overtone of citrus. Seems like bay leaves and maybe a few other things that one might throw into a recipe. It mellows down into a soft warmth.
-
Starts with a light floral on me. Now it's settling in, and coming up with a complex mix. This is one of those amazing florals I've come to expect from BPAL. Nice!
-
Oh, interesting, the very first scent I get is citrus candy! That part mellows out but is still a bit sharp. It's getting woodsy. It's mostly mellow and woodsy, but still with that little bit of sharpness to it.
-
A really nice leather. Warm and slightly smoky — this is like walking into a really posh leather or shoe store. Remember back when shoe stores smelled like leather? It's got a little spice, too. Wow. I now understand the expression, "Must hoard shrunken heads."
-
It's a different sort of sugar than I expected. Maybe that's the candied fruits. It's a nice scent, super sweet! The fruits are fermenting a bit now.
-
I get the spices first, very warm. The rose is nice to, sweetly sitting on top and not overwhelming. It's mysterious and a bit complicated. This is one that really blooms after a few minutes.
-
Starts kinda medicine-y. Maybe that's the pepper? Now the other things are coming in. The beeswax, definitely, and is that bayberry? I like smelling it because there are so many interesting notes, just not sure that I like the overall effect. Maybe it's the cream that's a bit off. Eventually that disappears and what is left behind is nice. But it takes a while for that to happen.
-
A quick blast of hairspray before it settles in. I smell roses.
-
Ooooh, flowers! Those are some beautiful, lush, tropical smelling flowers to start. The leaves are hanging out and being subtle. This is a keeper!
-
It's got a nice pine start, only pretty and not like a cleaning product. the beautiful old wood. Now the roses are wafting through. Now it's kind of a nondescript floral.
-
Leather, a bit sharp to start. I'm not getting the musk, but this is a good leather, very wearable. I like this!
-
Oooh, now that's a sweeeet violet! I can definitely tell there are interesting undertones. It's a little bit fruity.
-
I can smell the sandalwood right off. It does have that fall scent to it, the way it smells when you go outside.
-
This one is not strong at all. Really subtle; it does have that dirt scent to it. It's got a leafy note to it, and some spices, now more spicy than dirty.
