BPAL Madness!: NaiadOreiad - Viewing Profile - BPAL Madness!

Wet: This has a healthy does of pine but it's balanced well with the minty cold snow. This is what I have been looking for in a snow scent ^__^ Normally aquatics are a total fail but Talvikku is bahving and frolicking nicely in the snowy forest

Dry: Stayed pretty much the same as wet, just not as cold. Yay for a snow I can wear!!!!

Bottle: LAVENDER with a backdrop of something dark and toothy

Wet: lavender and thyme. There is something weird running in an undercurrent... it has a lot of depth with a warmth that seems like it is trying to surface until thyme kicks me in the teeth.

Dry: Lavender and thyme. The warm toothy nougat is surfacing more and is finally on an even level with the lavendar and thyme, making this blend herbal and interesting.

A keeper for it's sheer uniqueness

I live in germany so I was pumped about this one!!

bottle: spices, wood, almonds, a breath of apples...

wet: THIS is the apple i have been waiting for my whole life. The almond is grounding, keeping the apple from becoming cloying. The woods set up a nice background and it smells atmospheric and christmassy without venturing into candle-land! YAY!

Dry: OMG so sexy.... this may be my favorite yule ever. Makes me want to get drunk on mulled wine and have a roll with my man in some furs in front of a fireplace after skiing all day. I can't stop sniffing my arm

(2012 version)

I was excited for this because I loooooooved last year's "The Night Hag visiting Lapland Witches (in the weenies)

And was hoping for something similar, now comparing th notes of course they are different but I am a suck e for pine anyway haha

Wet: Cold forest! Definitely the essence of the pine forest in winter, blended so wel the clove and pitch just seem to lift the pine out of "cleaning chemical" territory and make it round and sweet (as opposed to the smokey darkness of the night hag)

Dry: Kind of cologne-y but still unisex. Although it is fresh and subtle, I can't wait to smell it on my man, I think other pine scents work better for me.

This might just be because it came in the mail last night, but it's quite odd..

Wet: Intense cream (maybe the goat?) with a side of rice and a hint of cherry

Drying: Cream that is souring

Dry: Rice and a whiff of cherry with a hint of that goaty-cream.

Thank god this isn't a complete fail I was really looking forward to this one. Dry I love it, so hopefully once it settles and ages a bit it will work more.
