Love this series and it seems to love me so even better!!

In the bottle: Its like grape Sprite if that makes any sense

Wet on skin: Fruity and fizzy like a carbonated beverage which is interesting because I have never had anything that smelled "fizzy" I wasn't aware that fizzy has a smell. The grape is there but not as strongly no juniper for me yet.

Dry: This is a great summer scent it is fruity but not in that super artificial way, light and fun. I smell all the notes and they all come together nicely. I'll be keeping this one that is for sure.

In the imp: sweet citrus, I can smell the grapefruit but there is a lot of sweetness to balance it out. This is a clean fruity scent. First sniff is a real pick me up

On/dry down: Grapefruit with a floral sweetness, this is a light scent but powerful. I have to remember to apply sparingly. After a few min. the grapefruit mostly fades and I am left with a light floral. I didn’t get any of the lavender in this at all.

After a few hours the scent is very slight and had almost faded away. This one doesn’t stay on me too long. Overall this is a wonderful bright fragrance. Definitely a keeper!

In the imp: Cherry tart!

Wet on skin: Vanilla with a dark cherry kick. Very sweet but I love sweet! During the dry down I get a hint of buttery cake.

After a few hours: Sweet white cake with cherry vanilla frosting.

Overall: I love this scent! It reminds me of a birthday party. I love the sweet cherry cake, I wore this out and someone asked me what I was wearing. I will definitely be buying a bottle of this.

Port Royal

I received this free from the lab though I was on my list to try one day. I am so very glad I did get it.

in the imp: Rum, very strong boozy smell

On and dry down, A beautiful warm spice that mellows out to a rich spiced wood with a pinch of salt. The saltiness was very brief and I never got the perfume smell at all.

a few hours later: It is like an old wooden trunk full of spices and a little spilled rum. I love it.

Overall I LOVE this scent. I wasn't expecting to LOVE it but it was a really wonderful surprise. This was the second scent I have tried but it so far is my favorite. I will be buying a bottle of this once I am able to afford a lab purchase.

Yay! This is my very first BPAL test and my very first scent review. I do hope I do a good job. I picked this one first to try because I adore Alice in wonderland and just couldn't resist. I also own a white rabbit

In the imp: Sharp! A good strong tea with the zing of pepper, interesting but not something I am sure I want to smell like. I am sure during the actual application it will be better.

Initial application: Strong tea, pepper and a little ginger. As it dries down I am getting the honey undertones. It went through a very brief chemical cleaner smell but it went away quickly.

After a few hours: Sweet, but not overpoweringly so. Like a soft honey cream with tea. At this point the pepper is something I can't detect. I get the vanilla and linen on occasion.

Overall I like this the longer I wear it and the more I smell it. Its different but soft without being uber girly. The throw is minimal so you don't smell me coming from a mile away which makes me happy. Usually when I am at a show or gallery people have to lean in because of the noise and I don't want to choke them to death. I may have to put this on the bottles to pick up when I have money list.
