Ok, so I just tested a little of this one, very different from my other scents...

In the bottle: Very citrusy with a heady cloud of tuberose, sweet and sticky.

On me, wet: ALL tuberose, strong, but not unpleasant.

On me, dry: The citrus note is peeking through! As it wears, more citrus and less floral. Lovely and refreshing!

Overall: 4/5. Decent throw, medium wearlength, beautiful soft morph action.

I was sooo happy to get this one! My fiance bought it for me. <3. On to the review!

In the bottle: Sweetly smoky, with an underlying edge of darkness.

On me, wet: VERY smoky and sultry, a

complex array of sinister sweetness. Gorgeous!

On me, dry: The patchouli has emerged (I think my skin might amp that substance) but is not overwhelming. Beautifully soft and smoky, makes me picture decadence, tattered and deteriorating. I love it so far!

Rating: 5/5, we'll see what he thinks! Hopefully he loves it. <3

Okay, here goes....Deire is my first (and, currently, only) bottle of Bpal oil. It has been aging in a cobalt bottle since around 2005-2006. On to the review!

In bottle: Very strong, heady sort of perfumey smell. At odd moments, a weird hint of chocolate. Patchouli seems quite powerful to my nose. Nothing that makes me think apple or vanilla, just musky and spicy.

On me, wet: Still very harsh, but exotic and a little smoky. No apple or vanilla scents at all. Patchouli and a very classic perfume smell.

On me, dry: Much more powdery than expected, still a little overwhelming. Still no hint of apple or vanilla, just a dark, heady smell wafting strongly from my wrists. Almost overpoweringly deep. My fiance said he liked it, and thought it smelled "spicy and dry."

Overall: 4/5, it smelled nice enough, just a little strong for 100+ degree weather. Will test again in the winter. Lasted foreverrr on my skin, though, and my fiance adores it, huzzah!
