BPAL Madness!

Recommended Posts

I really wanted to love this. It smells amazing in the bottle, very fresh and floral, but it has this powdery dry down that reminds me of old lady perfume that's been spritzed too strong. So bummed.

I’m loving this a lot! Will update with a full review once I’ve worn this a bit more through the spring, but from my tiny decant sample, I am getting fresh callas with a little bit of green bite to them (in the best way! A friend described it as “the spicy thing that some lily type scents can do”) and then only the coolest, freshest lilacs in the background. I don’t know peony well but I do know that it really is “peony milk” because there’s something a bit sweet and creamy in the background that is absolutely lovely here. Do I get any powder? Just a tiiiny bit, but not vintage or baby powder. (I like these kinds of profiles so would still be happy if I did!).
 

This perfume dies down to a pink, creamy, cool, gently sweet scent!

 

Very spring, VERY lovely, excited to wear this one through the springtime and then next winter when I need to pretend it’s a different season!!

When I first apply this, it smells just like freshly cut flowers. Amazing, but my nose quivers like I’m gonna sneeze.

 

On drydown, the soapiness overwhelms. Sillage is super-intense. Had to remove it.

When this goes on I get a splash of bright blue lilac, with calla lilies supporting and just a hint of green tea - it's a very fresh, cool, clean floral and I like it a lot at this stage. As it dries down the peony milk becomes more and more prominent until the lilac and calla lilies have basically vanished - the peony milk is very pink and green scent, creamy and sweet. It's pleasant, but as the other florals vanish it starts to feel sort of cloying on me, and I really miss the freshness of its wet stage. This reinforced for me how much I love lilac, but this is unfortunately not the scent in which I'm going to get to really appreciate them.
