I usually like lavender and enjoy bpal's cheesecake blends, but this is a mess on me. I feel like there's something wrong with my bottle. It smells like a harsh, soapy, chemical lavender that has been set on fire. I've never smelled anything like this from bpal's lavender notes, so I'm really confused. It smells like a harsh chemical, is the best way that I can describe it. As it starts to dry down, it's better in that it's tolerable, but it's like the sharp, musky part of a men's cologne with no other notes rounding it out. A very clean, sharp, manly smell. Where is the cheesecake and honey?
I'm so disappointed with this blend...
ETA: Apparently there are two versions of this blend.. one that smells as advertised (like lavender, honey and cheesecake) and one that smells like the version I unfortunately got (awful and nothing at all like lavender, honey or cheesecake).[...]
Pretty much this.
In the bottle it's harsh, very harsh. Chemical even. Bathroom cleaners that arn't even particularly floral or sweet. No lavendar. Defintly no cheesecake.
On wet there is still no lavendar, no honey, perhaps a hint of cheesecake? Very colonge, not even musky or insense-ey.
That quickly passes, drying into a sharp distinctly male colonge. Crisp, not unpleasant, but not unrelated to something commercial. Perhaps 'Axe's third cousin. I am not pleased, it doesn't even smell like something I would want my mate to wear. Let alone wear myself.
It was suggested I e-bay the bottle but I can't bring myself to do so. I think it would be ripping someone off :/.
