Bonfire Night Iago
-
Traditionally, Beaver Moon is named thus for a very obvious reason: during this time of year, beavers are hard at work building their dams and preparing for the onset of winter. However, we at BPAL rarely let an opportunity for sleazy campiness pass us by! For your pleasure and amusement, we present this year's incarnation of Beaver Moon: gooey apple cheesecake! Having owned this blend for over 1 year, i use it sparingly since there aren't many proper occasions for me to wear it. I mainly get on my skin the cheesecake pastry base, which reminds me a bit of Cockaine, but not entirely so. The top notes, the apple and cinnamon wear off fast and i'm left with the base pastry drydown.

Punkie Night Goblin Market

I don'ty know why but the Dodo ends up smelling like Imp or Depraved on my skin, and there's no peach note listed.
-
The ozone note smell strangely similar like the snow note on my skin, so it's a no-go for me. It's slushy snow with mild citru notes.
-
Pretty much a less sweet version of Lemon Scented Sticky Bat with the addition of lavender. Lavender standout in the beginning, but after sometime it disappears completely leaving a mild sweet lemony scent.
-
Very refined and clean, although on my skin it goes powdery and borders on make-up bag smell. Somehow it reminds me of Tattered Lace .

Shanghai, obviously

If you like Shattered, you will probably enjoy this. Just remove the violet from Shattered and replace with strawberry and you have Bon Vivant, although the latter is less agressive on the mint/eucalyptus combo

Freshly applied it's smells of uber-sweet dark cherries dipped in chocolate. As it dries, the wine comes out and it transforms the entire scent into a chocolate-infused dark cherry liqueur. The opening is achingly sweet, but the drydown is worth the wait and very much drinkable, had it been a beverage.

Black Annis. It scared the bejesus out of me -

I get high-pitched chocolate accompanied by honey. The end result is just too sweet for my taste. I can feel my teetch ache -
I had high expectations. I thought i'd get a citrusy pumpkin smell, but in reality the parsley comes out strong and trumps all over the citric notes. i'm on the fence.

2009 I get no nail polish/ acetone smell. It's light and enjoyable, but disappears way too fast. It's in vein of Punkie Night, only a tad less sharp.
-
2012 So Boo reminds me mainly of condensed milk cream. It smells delicious, but strangely enough way too foody for me; could be because i'm not into really a big condensed milk fan.
-
Hummm..i'm confused i can not quite describe what i'm smelling, but the image i'm getting is mainly a make-up bag filled with traces of dusting powder and lipstick. It's very feminine and powdery.
-
LAVENDER got me like WHOA? Right from the start it's a beautiful and full smell of lavender, followed by a sweet resinous vibe. YUM!!!
-
I'm disappointed. I was expecting something spicy and sweet and warm, but on my skin it disappears in 10 minutes and no sign of the dry-down.
-
2009: I get mashed apples joined by sweet milky notes. It's ok, but ends up Smelling too bubble-gummy and girlie for my taste
-
2012: This is LOVE!!!! Imagine Dorian without lemon and the lavander fougere and added pear instead!!! This singing on my skin! <3
-
2012: So beautiful and evocative. The jasmine is not shrieking and is tamed by the other components. A very well done jasmine scent (floral) where it's behaving nicely.
-
It reminds me very much of Samhain and its medicinal vibe. I think it's more of a extension of the dark vibe revolving around Samhain: patch, mullein, fir, leaves and added vetiver.
-
Sugar Skull 2012: It's very sweet and i get burnt-sugar/ creme brulee vibe about it and something creamy on top of it.
-
2012 decant: This is such a gentle and beautiful scent. I get mainly bamboo rinds and that's it. I can see myself wearing it in late August till end of September.
