My favourite BPAL scent at moment! When I first opened the bottle I was mystified by it and I felt absolutely bewildered, it was however, a bit plasticy/waxy which was probably the wet coconut and leaf combo. But on, it is dark and green and viney and very fig-like which is the juiciest scent here, funnily enough I don't pick up any cherries in this like most. I love the smell of almond milk but it blends quite well so it doesn't jump out but that probably is why I find this so interesting and curious. It also lasts a very long time on and every now and then there would be a sweet honey note that jumps out when I least expected. Utterly inspiring! I think of cool summer nights in the forest. I can't get enough of it. It's dark without being ominous. And I've had the most compliments with this one

When I opened my imp of Lilium I got a nice sweet whiff of juicy peachy fruit and florals and wet on my skin it smellt so bright and lively yet delicate and feminine. It has dried down now and is quite stagnant and powdery but the fruitiness distantly lingers in the background but is far too overpowered by that icky pot pourri. Some of the floral scents do that to me, for example, Feu Follet. Darn! Edit again: It's had some time to adjust and the powderyness isn't as strong and I can smell the sweet notes a bit more after the overbearing powder resided. But now the whole scent is pretty weak on me. Sadly no!
