OxfordComma Report post Posted Tuesday at 05:11 PM (I bought this because the notes sounded nice but also because the painting rules and BPAL's knack for really nailing the vibe of the art is uncanny so I was super curious to see how this one played out.) The dates are the absolute first thing I get here, which is awesome! I love dates, my whole family has a weird thing for dates. We used to get a giant box of medjool dates from my grandmother every year for the holidays and it was always a looked forward to event lol. Anywhooooo. It's dates! Dusky purple dates. How are they dusky and/or purple? Bpal magic. The rest of the notes are kind of swirling around and bringing out different facets of the date note imo. It's not too foodie, almost a dried date incense. If that was a thing that existed. Man this smells so good. Idk if it's just because I'm so excited about the dates, or this is just super well blended, but I'm struggling to pick out individual notes. There's something that hints at spice without being "spice", probably the labdanum or DBR. Neither are cranked to their usual volume. This makes me think of those classic paintings of people lounging around in diaphanous clothing, sprawled in richly appointed rooms. Rich jewel tones, muted by haze. It's pretty. It's date forward. Good throw. I'll stop rambling about it now. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
