I'm going to be mentally comparing this to A Blade of Grass since that's my favorite BPAL scent

In the bottle:  The description made me think this was going to be a ... wetter?... grass scent. It smells like dried alfalfa or grass clippings to me.  Not in a bad way but I don't smell any pine or snow.

Wet:  Now I smell more pine trees!   In fact, the grass is almost all gone and it smells like pine needles in snow. 

Dry: It dries back down to a grassier scent, it loses some of the crispness of the pine/snow but it's a very pleasant green scent.

If you're obsessed with A Blade of Grass and are wondering if you should try this one out--I'd give it a shot! It's not as juicy as A Blade of Grass but it's a great grass scent.

thanks for the recommendations! I just ordered imps of

Shadwell

Hesperides

Mag Meil

Lady Una

Yggdrasil

Nemesis

and I'm pretty excited! It turns out I already had an imp of Queen Alice and I enjoy it, so those rec's were a good call

I ordered some of the LE halloweeny/late summer bottles... hoping that if some of them were too "strong" I'd ship them to my mom (who can pull off pure patchouli and not smell like a "dirty hippie")

The Girl

Julia Stone

Pumpkin II

Lambs-Wool ( a bit scared but I love apple cider so much)

Carlin

Shadowless Like Silence

Summers Last Will and Testament

I just couldn't pass up anything that had the description that Julia Stone did

blade of grass is very "green" but it's more of a warmy scent... like laying in the grass on fall day with the sun on your face.

I love all these reccomendations!

I was having a hard time finding rose-themed scents that i thought paid a just tribute to the rose---I just ended up buying rose essential oil. It is insanely expensive but it's just so magical when you wake up thinking I WANT TO SMELL ROSES!

this scent doesn't work on me... as some other have stated, it ends up reminding me of cherry cough syrup. I wish it smelled like everyone else described

First of all... Hello! I have dabbled in BPAL for a few years but I have yet to become addicted...

It seems that this time each summer... I am dying to have fall start. Apparently the way I satiate this desire is to buy fall scents. I think fall and spring are the most "aromatic" seasons to me and I like to celebrate these scents with the perfumes I wear.

Anyway, I have always had a hard time finding fall scents that I can pull off. I love the dark and rich smells of fall but I don't think I can pull them off and feel comfortable. My personality is probably better depicted by florals and clean scents... with just a hint of warmth/depth. The muskier scents make me think of confident, deep, sexy women... I might be there one day but I am young and airy still. The best fall scent I have found from BPAL has been "Blade of Grass;" it has that clean scent I like but it turns very warm and slightly rich on my skin.

I ordered Samhein and Harvest Moon last year and I liked the way they smelled... but again, I don't think I could pull them off. They seemed either too musky or sugary for me. They are scents I would put into a room spray or candle but not on my skin.

I wish I could bottle up the smell of crushed leaves and fireplace smoke in cool crisp air. And up the ratio of crisp air to leaves and smoke I do NOT like wearing food-like scents. I also can't stand most vanilla perfumes because they remind me of that cheap smelling vanilla air freshener (don't know why I associate these smells, haha) .

anyway, can any of you give me some recommendations of GC scents to try? I might try out a couple of the LE fall scents this year but they are not out yet

BPAL Scents I wear:

THE QUEEN OF HEARTS

Lily of the Valley, Calla Lily, stephanotis and a drop of cherry.

WHITE RABBIT

Strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen.

ULALUME

Starry white lilies lend an eerie brightness to the deep black wooded scents of cypress and oak, layered with a touch of crushed dried leaves and the faintest aquatic note.

TWO, FIVE & SEVEN

A huge bouquet of squished rose petals: Bulgarian rose, Somalian rose, Turkish rose, Damascus rose, red and white rose, tea rose, wine rose, shrub roses, rose, rose, rose…

…and just an itty bitty bit of green grass.

BLADE OF GRASS
