Very piney and green with a slight white sweetness underneath.
-
Well-blended perfume-y lavender with some oud making things more complex (but also a bit foreboding).
-
Very similar to Two Frames - baked goods gourmand lavender, quite rich and sweet.
-
Slightly icy/clean peach, definitely a good fit for the painting.
-
Watery vanilla, similar to Zorya Polunochnaya - which is probably the tobacco. There’s also some smooth diffuseness about it, but I just can’t get behind the wateriness.
-
Straightforwardly minty vanilla - the mint is very strong and unfortunately does remind me of toothpaste.

A Rosy Colour Paints Her Claws With Honor
aphrodisms replied to Lady_Fire's topic in BPAL Anniversary
A metallic rose scent that unfortunately goes sour on me. -
Clean, thin and icy white florals with an aquatic edge.
-
Golden and warm, this is mainly chamomile and roses with a hint of smoothness from the vanilla and some atmospheric crunchiness from the leaves/other flowers. Lovely and very seasonal.

Dead Leaves, Marshmallow, and Pistachio Cream
aphrodisms replied to zankoku_zen's topic in Halloweenie
Crispy bell pepper dead leaves with some nutty gourmand sweetness. -
Somehow all these notes combine into coconut on me! With a lil dash of clean chamomile on the side.
-
Very very smoky vetiver with sweet creamy beeswax. This reads as a temple with lots of incense and candle smoke.
-
Very woody and dusty, reminiscent of lots of old book scents.
-
Something about this combo reads very perfume-y to me, but underneath that it’s a sophisticated sublty sweet scent.
-
Citrusy orange blossom over amber warmth. A bit clean for me but definitely well-blended.
-
Lovely vanilla cream with that Snake Oil behind it. Snake oil just smells like vanilla’d car to me, so the overall effect is like eating delicious vanilla ice cream in a car - somehow nostalgic!
-
Sweet roses nicely blended with chocolate. The roses are sour and the chocolate isn’t artificial.
-
This really didn’t work for me - it’s a very clean woody aquatic when I think I was hoping for something a bit more ephemeral.
-
A lovely, slightly fruity white rose over some solid tempered sweetness. Really well-blended and highly recommended for a proper floral that doesn’t go sour at all.
-
If clove amps on you, beware! All the lovely sweet milkiness of the bottle turned straight into metallic blood on my skin ;___;
-
Unfortunately I really didn’t like this. It’s like a very rich honey cake with a slight ripe floral to it, which unfortunately reminds me of clean bathrooms. Also just not really into the foodie aspect.
-
Very spring/summer-like in its aquatic lotus floral mixed with sweet creamy marshmallow. I’d say the marshmallow in this makes it a poofier scent than Cherry Blossom Vulva, for example. The lotus is slightly high pitced but settles nicely. Very baby blue.
-
2018’s version: Very incensey coconut. Definitely beachy, tropical and humid, but with a darker twist.
-
For 2021’s version - this is all boozy sugar on me. I’m not sure I really get the musks from this.
