So, this is my first time smelling anything with resin, especially dragon's blood. I come to you with an open nose -- er, mind.
In the bottle: Oh dear God, what is this? Red? I honestly have not smelled anything like it before. My first thought is, "No way am I putting this on my skin." But I soldier on...
Wet: My first thought after applying it? "Dry off, dry off, dry off!" It went on way too strong on my skin. The smell, which I still couldn't place -- roses? vanilla? -- was overpowering, at first, but then...
Dry: It dried into this wonderfully warm scent. I still can't place it, but it does have a bit of a vanilla scent. It's not your traditional floral scent, but I do get a hint of florals from it. Maybe jasmine? I don't know. But I think I like it.

Oh, Hearth 2005. You were the first BPAL scent I ever put on my skin. Let's see if it was worth it, huh?
In the bottle: Oh, yeah -- I smelled the buttery goodness before anything. I also got a nutty scent from it. It made me hungry, but this is okay.
Wet: WOW! I smelled some brown sugar, but mostly I got the warm chestnut smell. Reminds me of winter time in Chicago, with the German festival downtown...
Dry: The brown sugar smell dried into a lovely scent on my skin. The nuttiness wasn't as pronounced, which made the honey stand out more. I couldn't stop smelling my arm more than a few hours after applying it. What a way to start out with BPAL.
