BPAL Madness!

Recommended Posts

Angora, Lady of the Rabbit skull – ceremonial matcha added to a steaming cup of earl grey, family heirlooms and artifacts, a packed suitcase, ruffles, buttons and bows, awaiting adventure.

 

Earl gray and matcha, blackcurrant bud, white sandalwood, pink rose petals, honeysuckle, and white musk.

In the imp I get mostly crisp green tea  white musk. On my skin the earl grey comes out, as do the florals. More honeysuckle than rose on me. It's bright and breezy, a gorgeous springtime blend.

This is a sparkling floral tea blend. The Earl Grey note reads more like the Lab's lemony white tea with bergamot. There's no black tea or matcha to be found. I get the pink rose and honeysuckle (more rose than honeysuckle on my skin) along with the tea note, swirled with the white musk, which adds to the sparkly, perfume-y feel of the scent, and just a touch of blackcurrant. I'd put this in the same family as scents like Butterflies, Flowers, and Jewels Attending.

 

I'm a little sad that I wasn't able to detect any matcha here, but I do think this is pretty, nevertheless! I agree that this will be perfect for spring and will be hanging onto my decant.

Definitely agree with @doomsday_disco that this reads like the Lab's white tea - it reminds me very much of the tea note in Maiden. On me it's quite citrus, but not in a well that feels distinctly identifiable as bergamot. The florals likewise are quite indistinct and very dry on me, mixing with the matcha, and I think also the sandalwood and white musk into something that feels more like dried, powered petals mixed with tea. I don't get any distinguishable blackcurrant.

 

As with Maiden, I think this is a case where my skin chemistry has led me astray - as a whole this is very astringent and powdery, rather than the happy springtime floral I was hoping for, even though these notes are largely ones I adore. I think it would work better on me with some sweetness or a lactonic note to cut through the sharpness, which I'm learning is what I really sort of need with tea scents (and maybe that's fitting, since I always do drink my tea with milk and sugar!). I'll retest my decant a few times as I'm not ready to give up on this quite yet, but unfortunately I don't think it's going to be for me despite loving the idea of it.
