And Though They Are With You Yet They Belong Not To You

[Amoraexcena]

So I made my big Weenies and Yules order, and I was all excited to try all the new shinies. Then I sniffed this in bottle and I HAD to skin test this first.

 

This is the soft, sweet sandalwood scent of my dreams. It reminds me of the fresh, milky-sweet skin scent of a baby. The sandalwood is super gentle, with only the lightest hint of wood. The vanilla is also a kind, sweet-but-not-foody one, and blends seamlessly into the sandalwood. For such a simple note list, it feels well-rounded and complete.

 

It's not a strong scent, but it's got respectable throw considering its gentleness for an hour or so. After that, it stays very close to the skin. I want to keep reapplying, it's so good - I'm having a hard time resisting, even though I do want to test my other shinies!!!

 

I absolutely love this, I'll need to get backups.

Beautiful soft fuzzy vanilla sandalwood. Lightly sweet, so gentle and comforting.

Ha, what a surprise - on my skin this is very much like toned down Morocco! The sandalwood part is remarkably the same. I love Morocco so this is not a problem. They're definitely different scents, though, but there are some similarities. 

 

This is just what the description says: vanilla sandalwood. Very beautiful, warm and comforting. Sandalwood is usually quite loud on my skin and this is not an exception and because of that this is quite a strong perfume on me. Great throw. I bet this is going to age wonderfully.

I absolutely love this perfume. This and Peach, Coconut Cream, Marshmallow, and Nougat are the first two perfumes I ever got from bpal at Dragoncon 2022 and I can't believe I haven't reviewed it yet. This is such a comforting blend of vanilla and candlewood for me. I love wearing it anytime. It has a medium throw but a pretty decent wear time.

This one is another reminder to me that less is more. I feel like when a BPAL blend has only two or three notes, there’s less that can go wrong. 
 

This.. is perfect. The vanilla is indeed gentle, slightly sweet but it also has a subtle smoky tone that’s very smooth. The sandalwood is clean and dry, quiet but not demure. Together, they create a lovely cloud of vanilla sandalwood goodness.
