Redeim

The vanilla and champagne in this mix in a curious way immediately on the skin; I'm reminded of cedar wood, but a little sweeter. It dries down and stays about that smell. I really enjoy it, though how I get the smell I'm thinking of befuddles me.

This goes on so chocolatey, and really reminds me of Gelt. The main difference is while Gelt is purely chocolate, this one has a hint of a milky mix that, as doomsday_disco says perfectly, reminds me of Swiss Miss hot cocoa. Like, if you told me BPAL took Swiss Miss and mixed it in I'd 99% believe you! (The 1% is because I know that's not what they did. I feel like it'd go on the skin brown if they did.) I mixed it with Spiced Pumpkin Cider before it had a chance to dry down (first time trying it; they blend nicely!), so that part of the review will be for another day.

This one does weird things on me sometimes, I think when I also apply sunscreen. Overall I get a nice, general sweet scent, but with application of sunscreen, it turns more sour, so it's not a scent I go for often. I have found it mixes nicely with Vice.

There some sweetness from the sticky rice, and a hint of floral from the peony's and plum blossoms, but I don't get a lot of citrus notes from this. I love every Lunar New Year scent I've smelled or sampled, and this one is no exception. As this one settles on me, some of the citrus notes pop out, kind of like if one was to walk into a room that smelled mostly sweet and floral with a hint of citrus peels.
