<p>I was curious about the name, so I went looking for information and found <a href="http://perso.wanadoo.fr/liltroll-silvara.webpage/france/valsansretour.html" rel="external nofollow">this description of it</a> - "According to legend, this was once a valley ensorcelled by Morgan-le-Fay to ensnare unfaithful knights." Very cool, love it already. <img src="https://www.bpal.org/uploads/emoticons/default_magtongue.gif" alt=":P" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for the scent: </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the vial: Fresh, sharp, citrusy and green, like just-picked oranges or lemons with their fresh-cut leaves. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>On me: At first, orange peel (or lemon peel?), something herbal (lavender?), and clover or green grass. As it dries, the herbal note comes forward more and the citrus dissipates. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really like it, and I don't usually like orange/lemon scents. It makes me think of a quiet sunny orchard in the midst of an open green field.</p>

<p>I am having the hardest time placing this scent. It’s like…a feminine robot. But not a girly robot or a tawdry robot. This isn't a robot for fuckin'.  It kind of metal, but not a very metallic metal, and like...feminine grease?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
...oh that sounded <i>so</i> wrong. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
Maybe its skin musk that I’m smelling, but a light light skin musk…or lemongrass?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
Hell, I don’t know. It smells like a fucking Ferris Wheel. Go find a Ferris Wheel and smell it. That’s exactly what this smells like.</p>

<p>Syrupy fruit, and… hm, I don’t know. I think I’m getting a burnt wood smell… not vetiver, but that smell you get the next day from last night’s campfire. Paired with the fruit… and maybe cola?... it’ a bit odd overall. Almost reminds me of that smell when someone has dropped cigarette butts into a coke that has gone flat [like you might find whilst cleaning up after a party].</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
This is becoming nauseating, actually. Becomes more strongly stale cigarette butts as it continues to dry. This turned amazingly awful on me, and the final dry-down kind of made me want to retch if I took a big whiff. The only CD proto that was worse than this on me was Tilt-a-Whirl, and together they rank as two of most disgusting smelling perfumes I've ever encountered. I'm sorry; I don't know what I did to this, but it reeeally hates me. I feel bad about being the first review.  <img src="https://www.bpal.org/uploads/emoticons/default_icon_redface.gif" alt=":blush:" /></p>

<p><i>This is, obviously, a review of the prototype. I have no note information, so the following is simply my blind impression.</i></p>
<p> </p>
<p>
Pale yellow oil. Fresh, bright, ozoney, a little metallic, and little cologney - definitely some sweet-tart citrus peel (grapefruit or bergamot?), delicate florals of some sort, and maybe some other fruit, something tropical/exotic and zesty? Lovely!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
More floral (though still fresh, light, and Spring-like - bulb flowers or blossoms) on my skin, and the ozone is even stronger, too -  very zingy and fresh and white in feel. This reminds me a fair deal of Szessapony, but it's more interesting, less generic. This definitely has citrus peel and maybe some pith (it's slightly, pleasantly bitter) - I think it's white grapefruit, but it's much nicer than the note in Baobhan Sith which I find quite sharp - this is softer and sweeter. I think maybe there's a little mandarin in here, too. This is wonderfully clean and fresh, and the 'feel' reminds me a lot of Amsterdam, though this is more fruity and zesty. Daffodils and tulips wouldn't surprise me at all, and I definitely get some peony. Also maybe some cherry blossom?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
As it dries it starts to remind me very strongly of something else but I can't place it...oh, oh wait, no, really, could it be - *goes to check* - it's Neo-Tokyo! YES!!!!!!!!!!!! A shockingly similar blend of ozone, delicate feminine florals, and juicy, bright fruits with a superbly sexy yet subtle musky base.  Now I think I am getting some mint - it's extremely light, which must be why I missed it before - and I'm nearly 100% positive it's white mint. It mingles beautifully here and makes the blend cool and even more bright and refreshing. As for some other scents that I love that this evokes - add the Dormouse to the list (peony, and maybe there is tea here, too?). Wow, I'm absolutely in love with this!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
This is reminding me a bit now of the Spell of Amorous Love, and earlier I suspected a tea note, so I think this has that blend's green tea note (it reminds me a bit of Matcha) which could also be one of the tea notes in the Dormouse, and the other fruit is definitely red currant, the same deliciously tart and juicy note from tSoAL. And...I'm pretty damn sure about the cherry blossom now, too, especially once I realised the N-T similarity. The cherry blossom has amped up quite a bit along with the peony, so this is Asiatic, Springy, pink blossom bliss! I get a very slightly soapy edge...but it's extremely slight, and mostly just adds to this blend's amazing feeling of CLEAN. This has so many refreshing notes, and I think I found yet another - ginger, the juicy bright sort, white Hawaiian I think - that would explain the Baobhin Sith association I got earlier!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
The smooth, slightly grassy green tea and zingy-fresh ginger notes really amp in the late drydown, making this scent much stronger and less ephemeral but no less beautiful - but the cherry blossom has amped up even more,  as has loads of musk  to round things out. This has turned quite musky indeed, in an almost creamy sort of way - earlier I thought it might be vanilla musk, and there could be some of that too, but there's definitely white musk, a rounded sort that isn't too sweet or sharp. I find cherry blossom has an almost musky tone, as well, that could be adding to the MUSK. The musk(s) and cherry blossom only dominate the peony, tea, and ginger by a little bit, and the daffodil has amped up to be on par with these. The sweet-tart, juicy red currant is still here, but faintly - it's faded the most of all the notes, while the grapefruit peel has held really well and is almost candied - there's a sweetness here that I don't get with the typical BPAL white grapefruit note. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
Cherry blossom dominates in the end - but not in an overbearing way - it's well balanced by the other beautiful notes, which it doesn't overwhelm, and yet it's definitely still intently cherry blossom focused. It's the ultimate cherry blossom scent - it actually reminds me a lot of the CB perfume that Bath&amp;Body Works released several years ago for their Spring LE line, but of course this is MUCH lovelier and more complex. Totally stunning and absolutely my sort of scent, this has instantly become a top-10 favourite.  Fortunately my skin amps it to have great throw after a few hours, and it lasts ages. </p>
<p> </p>

<p>
Another one I will hoard, and that I would sell my soul, my 9 remaining fingers, all my useful orifices, future unborn children, etc for more than the precious small quantity I have now.</p>

</p>

<p>
	To me, this smells like a manly, and sandy, version of Florida Water. So yes, this has bay. And laurel, and water. And it smells clean and magical because anything even remotely Florida Water like to me (which probably means orange blossom) smells clean and magical. Medium throw and wear length.

In the bottle, this smells very unusual. I get a touch of something fruity (I keep wondering whether it's peach or melon) and a sugary note. It's almost like candied fruit slices, but I can't explain it any better than that. I tried a dab on my wrist, and over the last 20 minute it's become generally warm, fruity and slightly sweet with very light throw. I wish I knew what was in this, because I don't think I've ever smelled anything similar to it in the BPAL catalog.. Overall, a very light and pleasant blend although definitely not 'me'. Still, I'm really grateful to the Lab for it!</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">28814</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Dec 2006 21:04:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>SNOW WHITE v1</title><link>https://www.bpal.org/topic/95840-snow-white-v1/</link><description><![CDATA[

<p>
	This review is for "There's a Certain Slant of Light Prototype 9 Unreleased" but I can't find a topic for that, so I'm putting it here and flagging to the mods. Received as a frottle with 2022 Liliths.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Wet, it is minty ozone with an herbal/medicinal accompaniment. As it dries, it gets a bit more resinous, but the minty ozone persists. For the resins, I think I am getting some frankincense, but I can't tell what else is with it. This is a strange combo to my nose, but surprisingly pleasant. I haven't smelled the released version but this proto doesn't seem very different based on reviews. I don't get violet, but the note listed for the released version is violet leaf, so idk. It settles into a minty ozonic frankincense.

<p>
	This one does have patchouli, it has a very purple vibe, but there's a floral freshness to it. The patchouli is there to give darkness and glimmer in shadows. Overall, the top notes are a purple floral (perhaps even phlox), mayhaps violet. It is lighter and airier than Insects, and more along the lines of what you think a moth/butterfly blend would be, whereas Insects was a harder, grittier patchouli blend. In this it makes me think more Black Moths than Insects. Although I don't smell roses in this blend. It actually reminds me more to the atmosphere Lucille Sharpe, if Lucille Sharpe was to turn into a winged insect.
