Deceitfuldescender

I am going to test this again, but I end up in jensdays camp. This come across related to Zorya P indeed. Stronger florals (but NOT screechy white florals that give me a headache) with a cream cheese, strongly vanilla frosting taking the place of the sheer vanilla from Zorya P. It is a pleasant, but I think I would like it better if the frosting read as buttercream frosting, so it did not have the cream cheese tang. I like, but do not LOVE this, so I am undecided if it will stay. Another test will hopefully clear this up.

This is lovely. I was afraid of the incenses and sandalwood but everything is kept in check here. Perfectly blended on dry down to become one cohesive scent that is equal measures slightly seductive and wholly comforting- exactly how a companion of Inara’s standard would keep where she lived and worked. This goes no where near churchy and is not dry- in fact it reads as rich and sort of sweet. While it is very nice on me, it could be intoxicating on the right woman. To me this reads as feminine.

So his starts out with a sort of disjointed state of a strong musk and a creamy but off coconut. However the dry down is quite different and very lovely. It comes out as a mildly (not foody) sweetened coconut with a very calm and supportive musk and just a very small hint of ginger and tea. It is very sedate and calming and has low throw and would be a nice but unique office scent. I have nothing like it and am happy to add it to my collection. This is a nice, unique blend that I doubt anyone would regret snagging. edit to add- it seems to fade very quickly so I may regret only having one bottle.

So Kaylee is my faves, and despite the fact that tea roses is SOLIDLY a death note, I got her anyway. Fresh it is all the strawberry juice- not candy strawberries, not fresh strawberries, definitely strawberry juice. On dry down (still fairly early dry down - if it changes I’ll update) it is a fairly balanced blend of slightly sweetened strawberry/strawberry juice, tea roses and cream. Strongest to least strong in that order. I get no motor oil. This is very pink- which makes sense from her tiered pink dress, and extremely girly. I generally amp tea roses but it is behaving pretty well, so this may actually be wearable for me (normally it amps like crazy and gives me a migraine). So if you like some fruit and roses with a little cream mixed it, definitely worth the pick up. I can see her wearing this with her dress, so in that sense it is spot on.

This is great, one of my favorite aquatics so far.smells oceanic (but not beachy) and is neither cologney nor soapy. It is like being in a boat with the breeze from the ocean in your face, and land far off in the horizon. i am pleasantly surprised.

Trying aquatics now, so hit this up... and maybe somewhere in there is a faint aquatic. I’m overwhelmed by honeysuckle and then lilies in that order. The notes are very true and all I can smell. A little too floral for me though.

Something in here smells horrible on my skin. I can’t get it all off and it is making me sick. The lace scent has gone rancid on me and is topped with extra dry champagne. I literally despise this on me. i don’t know what the death note is, but ughshdbjdh.

So, this is extremely close to F@!K (okay or however that is spelled.) The Cherry note reads to me exactly the same (and I like it from the other scent too.) however instead of the fluffy meringue, there is a faint creaminess and then a sort of dry sand scent. It is faint and does not overwhelm the cherry but sort of serves as a backdrop. This is surprisingly pleasant.

This opens with a strong herbal lavender- but quickly becomes almost cola like labdanum with only a hint of lavender. My skin eats this fast, but it is. A pleasant scent, and taught me what labdanum smells like. Undecided if to keep or not.

Most recently I tried the tea roses and lace and it reminded me tea roses are not my dish. They smell somewhere between old ladyish and sort of sick sweet and not like fresh roses (at least on me) almost stinky rose. I reaaaally like run of the mill roses. And wild roses. I love those but they seem rare in perfume.

So I never thought I would like aquatics as most I have tried do not work for me. But I have a few that do work and maybe someone can get me in line with some similar ones? (Trying to expand my perfume horizons). Sad Ted Behind Wall (rain - freshwater and strawberries) Waiting (asphalt, rain, lavender) Selkie (can’t remember notes) None are perfumey which is requisite but smell strongly like water.

I have rose problems. I despise tea roses in perfume. It just reads awful in me. I love the smell of most garden variety roses fresh on the bush. Wild roses and big beautiful pink and yellow and peach roses make me happiest. Do those exist in bpal? If so, how can I discern it (besides avoiding the note tea roses forever.)

DForgot I amp rose, and tbh tea rose is like my least favorite. So on me it is ROSE with a background of faint lace and cognac. It isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but it also isn’t really a scent I want to wear. Oh well. I am sure this is lovely on those who don’t amp the crap out of rose.

On me this is just perfumey amber with a sweet and creamy vanilla. On dry down it is pretty nice, but this amber is too perfumey to me.

My skin does not like this. Great in the bottle, on my skin, very very dry woody smell. I think it is the tobacco. Very dry not sweet, not chewy. And this is what I have period. No coffee or leather or sweets. On the several hours long dry down a little honey comes out. This was a huge fail on my skin chemistry.

Lilith has been taking kiddo Shakespeare classes for the past four years, and absolutely loves them. Last year, they did a mini-series focusing on Julius Caesar, King Lear, and the Tempest. The kids analyze the plays, and perform scenes from them; then, at the end of the cycle, they put together a play of their own based on the themes in the works of Shakespeare that they have studied. Their play this time around was entitled Evil Bunny. Lilith performed as Marc Antony, and showed off her orator skills. Hearing Lilith speak at Caesar’s funeral gave me the chills. She came to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Macerated myrrh, rose petals, and iris with frankincense and a splash of blood. Again not my normal sort of scent but I figured I would give it a shot. On early drydown I get sweetish myrrh, with something powdery (iris?) and non tea rose rose. Nothing is overpowering, I do not really get the frank or blood at this juncture. The rose is pretty nice, sweetish not too fresh but not long dead either. After a little bit the frank comes in with the myrrh. Still no blood though. Eta: late dry down appears to be a sweet myrrh and rose petal.

(Witches, I'll happily send one to your witchee if they would like it) Sure, who hates mail? Idk where I wojld put it afterward though. Kiddo will prolly steal it. Does anything catch your eye from Future Primitive, including oos things? It seems like everything here has sulfates in spades so lal probably too harsh for my sensitive skin.

So this is cinnamon and pumpkin dominant on me (NOT pumpkin spice, just cinnamony butteryness) witha backdrop of creamy rice pudding. At long dry down the creamy rice pudding takes over and then sort of morphs i to just a creamy sweetness with not really any pumpkin left, and only a dan of cinnamon. This is VERY foody. It is unrepentantly sweet and smells like sweet food period.

This is actually quite nice on my skin, a very smooth mix of the whole. I guess I didn’t know what sweet pea smelled like but it is a sweet and decidedly unstinky or headache inducing floral. The vanilla and amber and sweet pea overlay again unpowdery sandalwood that lays as a backdrop. A well rounded sweet scent that is neither foody , nor resinous, nor floral but something in between.

I cannot imagine how but this goes unbelievably masculine on me. Pure aftershave, cologne. The lilac is buried somewhere under the cologne but it really is smothered. I get no green tea. I would love this on my husband if he would wear it but it doesn’t work on me as I do not favor masculine scents.

Wet this is mostly the strawberry but dry down is exclusively the soap (reminds me of Johnson and Johnson baby soap), honey and a touch of sunshine. It is sort of nostalgic and as a mum who used this soap for her kids probably a keeper for memory sake. On long dry down just a hint of strawberry comes out. Fades after a few hours altogether.

This reminds me of another bpal but I cannot recall what it is, like an itch I cannot scratch. This dries down to mostly honey and cream with the booberries being less berry and more boo. I actually quite like it so will probably be keeping my bottle but I do wish I could figure out what it reminds me of. this has become a scent I go to every time I am not sure what to wear, had to grab a backup since I am actually wearing it a lot. If it sounds intriguing to you, buy it.

Wet this is very chocolate forward- somewhere between dark and milk chocolate for me. Early dry down the buttercream is dominant, smells like the same note from Cake Smash v6. Not plastic on my skin fortunately. Late dry down is a mash of the two stages. Milky chocolate and buttercream swirled together but definitely not a chocolate buttercream just a mix of the two notes. Very sweet very foods pretty straightforward.

So Eve does not work on me because I amp the rose and it becomes cloying. Eve WSFU opens up almost as cloying, super sweet and very spicy and just not good for me. But. Dry down is different, I was not sure what to expect from the sage but it reads as a subdued earthy balancer to rich not overly sweet incense, spices and a dab of honey. Dry down is quite nice actually, and makes this a keeper I think. Keep fing up Beth, cause winner winner.

On dry down this is a not quite perfuming almond blossom and rice milk (translate as just a pleasant creaminess) with only a sliver of currant hiding somewhere in the bouquet. Notably on the edge of foody without being foody. Nice and good for springy time.
