KPX130

[scrappy]

In the bottle: Sweetented lemons, a little on the cleanser side.

 

Wet on the skin: Lemonhead candies. Sweet lemon candies with a bit of a sour edge.

 

Dry: The lemonhead candies fade a bit, and I'm getting a sense of light musk and perhaps a little green tea? Has a lot of similarities to Phobos on the dry-down.

KPX130 does smell like another BPAL I recently tried, but I think it was Phantasm, not Phobos. I smell aloe and maybe musk (something sort of fuzzy) and a light floral. It's a little powdery/dusty, which sounds more unflattering than I mean it to be. It makes me think of a light pollen dust on a petal, not some dusty old dried flower. I'm glad I had the chance to try this, but it's definitely not me.

This is all sharp and sour lemon on my skin. It reminds me of lemon verbena or lemongrass. A clean and sharp sort of scent. I don't like it, but it only lasts about an hour on my skin anyhow...

KPX130 is an intense lemon. And I agree with Little Bird, and think it actually has lemon grass. I think there's some light musk, and aloe on the drydown.

 

Clean, bracing, refreshing.

Frottle from the Lab! ❤️

 

I would also agree about the lemongrass - it's lemon-herby, refreshing, clean and light. I feel like it'll be nice for hot weather!

Oooh yea. Lemongrass for sure. Smells just like fresh lemongrass. A little sugared lemon edge, like Sticky Bat cranked to 11. Namaste Sticky Bat? This is awesome. I'm a lemon junkie and this might be one of my favorite lemons!

My eyes about popped out of my head when I gave this a sniff. To me, this smells like the popular Lush Cosmetics scent, and one of my absolute favorite smells ever, "Super Milk"!! I love it so much, I jumped at the chance to get a Super Milk bodywash. If you like Lush's Super Milk, get this!!

Lab frottle, tested several months ago w/o taking notes and then again this evening on-skin after a day of many other tests. This review currently only covers the first 90 minutes of wear. Wrote this review before reading others’ reviews. 
 

KPX130 opens SUPER lemongrassy, but after 10 or so minutes this morphs to a very convincing lemon drops perfume with lemongrass hiding in the background. For me, the lemon did die down pretty quickly after this, leaving behind faint lemongrass, fainter lemon, and a biiig poof of pillowy, dry sugar. It feels like I’m jumping into a big bowl of fluffy, lightly lemon-lemongrassed caster sugar!

 

I think this will be fun to try wearing in the summer, since the sugar seems to be promising me some cool, dry, unsticky, uncomplicated sweetness. The sugar note does seem familiar, but I can’t quite place where else I’ve smelled it before—more seasoned BPAL enthusiasts may be able to place it!! 

 

I do want to wear this for a whole day and see how long it lasts! Regardless, I am absolutely loving my trial of KPX130 tonight, and it has earned its spot in my BPAL drawer. And here I was hoping to clear up a spot for future ‘fumes!
