Cali

Very aquatic, green. Something floral in there, white - but a hint of some more colours in the background. It's not the salty, or overkill-green kind of aquatic. Kind of a mix between a damp greenhouse and ...well I'm imagining standing in some kind of beautiful, calmly rippling stream in the middle of the woods somewhere not many people have gone before, somewhere in the medditerranean lush wilderness. Well, Weirdly specific, but it brings me back to some beautiful place i've had the pleasure of being, once. I'll admit, it's got something very mainstream-perfume to it on drydown on me, but it's somehow slightly more "luxurious". Very, very beautiful.

In the bottle it smells greatly like a few other pumpkin-heavy blends that I have, or have smelled in the past, but slightly soapy? But on my skin... MAN. This is SO beautiful. It kind of morphs into this pink ghost. A pink ghost with a blend of warm spices in the background. I don't know how else to describe it but man am I happy this kinda fell into my lap. Not a very strong throw, but I will just have to slather. *shrugs*

Oooh. This is indeed a lovely, nostalgia-and-full-of-frosting-type pink cake. The batter smells very real, There's that buttery, sugery thick frosting I used to make as a kid - and the pink is kiiiind of artificial. BUT! The best king of artificial, edible, bright pink out there, not a gross one or neccesarily bubblegum-y one, there's something strawberry ish about this pink. Wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do, but boy do i!! So very fun.

Delicious!! A spicy latte - LOTS of pumpkin spice, very little rum, JUST enough to notice. Also reminds me a liiittle bit of ginger cookies. goodness this is AMAZING!!!

Once again, I amp the jasmine, I only just put this on and it's already overpowering the rest of the notes; warm red pomegranate and strong benzoin. This is giving me a headache! :'D

Golden florals. I can't really add anything new, just agree with what's been said before. Flowers basking in warm beams of sunlight. Very light throw on me.

Lovely. I understand where people are getting a rose note from this - I was fooled as well. It's got that same warmth and sweetness. It's floral, it's a little green due to the moss. I'm thinking a field of flowers in a forest, on a summer's day. Dry, on me, it gets a little whiter, not colder, as I'm guessing the "tea" in there keeps this a lil brewy.

Faint rose indeed! But it IS that lovely, sweet thick red rose BPAL does sooo well. The leather is minimal, but keeps this a little "cold".

It's the same insence as in hymn on me! Actually, it's that, without the strong white rose and something a little more dusty...maybe spicy? I should give this another try very soon, I've actually been quite stuffy for a few weeks, but I'm really intrigued. It's got something 1001 nights about it.

Hmm, lovely. Soft, sweet and dark. It's just sultry enough, but still classy.

Honestly, this smells like winter in woods right on application, goes into a little more talvikuu-territory a few seconds in, and goes into something similar to in winter in my room (must be the tonka) a little later. It's... strangely a good mix of all three on me. Really doesn't work on me, as much as I like the idea. Can pick out the notes easily as it's drying, and I can get behind the "chalky" here as well.

Ahh, right from the get-go cherry candies. Actually, I can smell all the notes right off the bat and it works really well! Usually cherry is one of my no-no-notes, but I can live with it here. It's a lot though. It's quite zingy/sharp. Cherry is definately the dominating note.

Oooh so this is orangy-purple. It's weird - sugary, with the warmth of pumpkin and the cold of the mint. Like a warm ice slushie. Makes no sense but the idea is nice. Very interesting. Wanna eat this!

A SUPER herbal on me, sticky and green wet - however that vanilla comes out real soon on application, and there's something almond-y, but not too bad that it causes a death-note reaction in me, it's quite delicious, actually!

Glam - a thick mix of silver specks of bright lights swirling in fruity champange! On drydown this goes a little more goop-y, a little more wine on me. Dunno if I've just been unlucky with everything I've been trying this week, or whether my skin is being weird, but this also fades pretty quickly and I'm left with really mostly zesty lemon. Which is, nice and summery, but it's not alike what it's started off as.

Wet, this is all caramel 'n apple - I'd almost say halloweenie! On my skin the teak really comes out quickly, and so does that honey. To me, a very starberry-sugary, realistic honey. And after that, the cream comes in. I'm a little scared starting here, cream usually goes off on my skin. I'll let it sit for a bit... Aaand, a good amount of minutes later... nothing's changed! Lovely! A light, sexy scent!

a dark, fiery rage. This reminds me a little of Crimson, but a softer, less malevolent version. It's got that silver lining of softness in the amber, and the lavender and sage turning this slightly herbal on me. I don't hate this, but I don't know what to think of it!

Very strong herbal mix. It's like falling into a violet blended whirlwind powered by myrrh, lol. Strong greens, light and resiny. The flowery note goes bitter in less than five minutes. Not my thing at all.

Ahh yes, vetiver. A whole whaft of it right as I open the imp - let's let this settle for a bit - but so far I'm getting that, and the olive leaf coming in strongly. The woodyness comes in after 10 minutes and then it..... fades. Left with the slightest bit of olive scent, but otherwise... nada. Huh.

Hmmm. I want to eat this, and I'm pretty sure that's weird. A beautiful, soft, christmassy pine, with berries strewn over dusted with sugar, on a wooden cutting board. Not super strong on me, but lovely sweet goodness.

Heavy red musk , a hint of lovely leather, coupled with something fresh and a good 'ole (smoky) plum. Idk if it's just my skin being weird today but it seems to fade a lot and I'm left with just a vague impression. Sad, it's lovely.

The radiant amber in here is somewhat spicy on me, which goes a little sweeter on me on drydown. There's something ...soapy in here, maybe it's the rose. It strangely reminds me of Between your heart and mine, but far more subtle, herbal and woody. It's got a musky, hairy something in there, I feel like my bunny could smell like this? Anyway, everything I like about it kinda fades away within ten minutes and I'm left with mostly amber. aw.

Oooohohhh loovely. Wet, this is a soft, berry wine, with a lil bit of spice. As it dries down, I DO see how people drag black moths into this. This one could be it's "softer" cousin. Really lovely, though the wine note - (could be helped by the oudh, judging by how that used to go on my skin), goes a little sour on me.

That really tipical BPAL mint-note, the one that's in snow white and woods in winter. There's gotta be some vanilla in there (it's slightly foody on me, wet it's a liiiiittle bit like tokyo stomp without the cake/HYPER=foody aspect), and it's somewhat lemon-y. Not a fizzy, or zesty one, but a soft one like restaurant hand wipes. Somewhat fruity - possibly a berry note? It's nice, but really faint on me, my skin doesn't pick up on this when dry. :c

Just a nice, woody masculine smell of a man who spent a day hiking in the woods. It's that, but less ...dirty. More fresh. It's also got this thing that I can only describe as "morning dew" in there.
