Ok - bpal rose usually doesn't work on me and this is no exception.

From the beginning, soapy rose. It kind of reminds me of a tea rose perfume I had when I was younger. I am not sure it is the rose making it soapy or more likely the other flowers. Does not appear to morph on me, still soapy several hours in.

To the swap pile.

Interesting that there is quite a lot of variation in the descriptions.

This one doesn't really morph on me at all - starts extremely strong soapy floral (I am guessing lily, because thats what it does on me), and over 3 hours later, I am still getting the same thing. Unfortunately I am not getting much of anything besides lily.

Into the swap box.

I am not a huge rose fan as I tend to amp it like mad but this is one of my top 2 bpal rose blends. (other being persehpone).

Started as all rose, all the time, during drydown I got the slightest touch of carnation spice in there, before finally drying down to a lovely fruity rose blend. Nice!

I love this - very sugary fruits (watermelon and lime predominately). It is a real pick me up scent for me. Lasts a couple hours on me, and really doesn't morph much at all.

So glad I got the chance to try this!

Interesting! Wet through initial dry down it totally reminds me of mme moriarty. I tend to amp up anything the resembles tobacco, so it is mainly that but with some fruity undertones. After a little while something goes a little sour and uncomfortable smelling on me.

I was about ready to write this off, but another whiff a couple hours later, and all I am getting is the most wonderful vanilla after everything else burned off.

Verdict - not ready to give this one up yet, may try at another time of the month.

Just got to try this one in imp form.

In the imp - spicy goodness, reminds me a little of gingerbread

wet - all cassia, all the the time - leaving little red marks on my arm and chest

30 minutes - cassia is actually mostly gone, all I am left with is a vanilla cakey scent, maybe the coconut sweetening it up, not bad, but a little buttery for me.

OK, but not for me....off to swaps!

Pruno is a nice crisp summer scent on me. Very bright oranges and apples (more orange) with a little cheap fizzy alcohol. This went on at first strong, but faded on me quickly. Didn't morph much if at all during the fade. I would love if this would last a little longer - similar to other posters.

Verdict - nice summer scent, probably with just stick with my imp though.
