aphrodisms

I wish I was getting what everyone else is, because a sweet lemony incense sounds wonderful. Unfortunately, on me this is an astringent 'clean' smokiness with a lot of heavy/harsh polished woods underneath. I can totally see this being someone's style but I'm not a woods fan.

Very bright, almost soapy rose. I'm not getting much vanilla to be honest, and this is the kind of rose that really doesn't like my skin chem.

A classic BPAL lavender - really lovely, with some hint of spice which might be the rockrose? Either way it complements the lavender well and really reminds me of the TAL Peace blend.

I'm not sure how this went so wrong on me, although it's probably the sandalwood. I was hoping for a gossamer complex vanilla, but instead it was cloying vanilla with weird grainy textures underneath.

A sophisticated green tea! It has slight floral nuances and the vanilla really just smooths things out rather than making anything sweet. After it dries down it gets a lil sweeter and is just really gorgeous.

Slightly musty rich honey with the evil grainy sandalwood asserting itself underneath.

Clear and clean without smelling like soap. I think it's mainly the lily, aloe, and linen note that I get. Definitely a translucent kind of scent.

I loove vetiver and have some blends made by the Lab that feature it gorgeously, but this went so horribly wrong. It's all very savoury dark bbq sauce somehow.

Lovely humid tropical floral! Definitely with a nice soft vanilla undertone. The tuberose and jasmine complement each other really well, they're not shrieky at all, just ripe and opulent.

Definitely a well-balanced violet that isn't too green or sweet, over woods that aren't too commanding or heavy at all.

Like crumbly gnarly chocolate - the sandalwood and vetiver are mostly lending texture to the chocolate, which is the main scent.

This scent taught me that I hate myrrh. It's the dusty slightly sour gritty thing that's hanging out under a lovely fresh rose.

Like very fresh pine wardrobes lol - nice and Christmassy if you like pine!

Definitely orange blossom with a nice tartness from the lemon peel. The marshmallow isn't particularly soft or fluffy, it's more just lending a gourmand sweetness to the scent.

Vanilla flower always smells surprisingly clean to me, so this isn't really a sweet scent. It's more a clean white floral over some powdery orris.
