BPAL nonsense
Oct. 6th, 2008 10:08 amSo far:
De Sade from Sin and Salvation: The essence of pleasure heightened by pain: the raw scent of leather.
In the bottle: Like leather, but a very harsh leather aroma.
On me: I couldn't even bring myself to wear it for longer than ten minutes. The smell was over-whelming and terrible and musty hard to breath. It was a thick heady leather, but not the good kind, mixed with that musty damp towels smell.
Moscow from Wanderlust: A rich, bold blend of imperial rose, carnation, lush jasmine, lily of the valley, dark musk, amber, bergamot and gilded tangerine.
In the bottle: A twist of flowers with a rich heady scent of a spice rack.
On me: It smelled like heavenly incense, thick with the smoke and rich aroma that incense normally has with and underlying floral hint.
Schrodinger's Cat from Bewitching Brews: A paradoxical scent experiment! - tangerine, sugared lime, pink grapefruit, oakmoss, lavender, zdravetz, and chocolate peppermint.
In the bottle: Sweet with a whiff of peppermint as a lingering scent. Very complex and hard to describe.
On me: Delicious. I can't describe it more than that. The peppermint was lost, the chocolate was slightly there, and it was just sweet without being over-bearing, and rather delightful.
Whip from Ars Amatoria: Agony and ecstasy: black leather and damp red rose.
In the bottle: Thick scent of leather with a soft flower smell. Not easily read as rose.
On me: Very soft smell of leather with a wispy rose scent. Soft, sweet, flowery.
Kitsune-Tsuki from Diabolus: Asian plum, orchid, daffodil, jasmine and white musk.
In the bottle: Very fruity and sweet.
On me: Sickeningly sweet. Like very very fake berry flavored overly sugary candy. Not my favorite.
The Robotic Scarab from Steamworks:Polished metallic notes, glossy leather, frankincense, star anise, and thin lubricating oils.
In the bottle: More like cologne than perfume. Almost like aftershave.
On me: Started off with the smell of me having just made out with some heavenly man scent that I easily flipped for. It was wonderful. Then started to carmelize on me and the anise came out more. Really enjoyed the whole scent and all its changes.
Zombi from Ars Morendi: Dried roses, rose leaf, Spanish moss, oakmoss and deep brown earth.
In the bottle: Best described as dirt and dead flowers.
On me: Dirt and dead flowers, but pleasantly so.
Santo Domingo from Wanderlust: An exotic, sultry blend of tobacco leaf, bay rum and heady Caribbean blossoms
In the bottle: You can easily make out the tobacco, but it smells like and up end bar of some sort, where stuffy coated people are drinking expensive whiskeys and such and smoking high quality cigars. Minus the actual smoke. Just the smell of them being in pockets, I guess.
On me: Started off with a thick scent of tobacco leaves but mellowed into a very nice soft scent almost like clove ciggarettes. Unlit, of course. But just that slight tobacco scent mixed with some really nice spices. But very soft. A small hint of rum in there, too.
Akuma from Diabolus: Devilish temptation, as sweet as sin: blood orange, neroli, and raspberry.
In the bottle: Pine mixed with berry.
On me: Freezepops! Om nom nom!
Grog from Bewitching Brews: Arrr! Avast ye, matey! This be the scent of pirate rum!
In the bottle: Caramel
On me: Christmas cookies. Chris liked it so much he om nom nom'd my arm!
Elegba from Excolo: His ofrenda contains coconut, tobacco and sweet, sugared rum.
In the bottle: Very sweet and sugary.
On me: Coconut galore with a hint of caramel.
Iambe from Excolo: Sudanese amber, patchouli, rose, gardenia, gladiola and white tea.
In the bottle: Like citrus and floral.
On me: A soft sweet fruity scenty. I like it since it also has a hint of floral.
The Caterpillar from Mad Tea Party: Heavy incense notes waft lazily through a mix of carnation, jasmine, bergamot, and neroli over a lush bed of dark mosses, iris blossom, deep patchouli and indolent vetiver.
In the bottle: Heady, thick, overly spiced.
On me: Like I just walked into a hippie store. I love it.
Black Forest from Bewitching Brews: Thick, viscous pine with ambergris, black musk, juniper and cypress.
In the bottle: Lemon and pine. A little skeptical.
On me: Soft pine undertones with a thick scent of moss and delicious delicious musk and eucalyptus.
Cheshire Cat from Mad Tea Party: Grapefruit, red currant, dark musk, Roman chamomile, delphinium, and lavender.
In the bottle: Like cheesecake and coconut.
On me: Some kind of happy far off memory of a scent that I can't place but I hope to keep wearing till I figure it out.
Eris: A suitably disjointed scent, bursting with gleeful mayhem: wet fruits and sharp mimosa with Martial spices and a deceptive flash of floral.
In the bottle: Like fruit + vomit.
On me: Weird old lady perfume. Not awful, but not my favorite either.
