forspecial_plate Report post Posted November 17 Well, it's pretty simple, Bpal's pumpkin note with a realistic gasoline note. I was feeling brave this morning and put on a good amount for testing. In the very beginning there is something about the gasoline note that is earthy, like there's a tiny bit of dirt in it. But really it's pumpkin and gas. And I like it?? Seriously after about a half hour I grabbed my decant and put on more. Like, a full real amount, more than just a test. I like this! It's so weird. It doesn't really smell scorched to me, it's almost - medicinal maybe? Kind of like tiger balm? But again, it's pumpkin and gas, it's just that simple. It doesn't have nuclear strength like some pumpkin scents can have on me. It fades a lot after a couple hours. But I think a decant will be enough for me because I'm not sure I would wear this very often, even though I do like it. I'll see how often I end up reaching for it.

jiggahava Report post Posted November 18 You definitely get the petrol loud and strong. The pumpkin coexists with it and it smells like a pumpkin covered in dirt. I know that's not most people's bag but i like it! As it settles in it gives off a light rubber smell An earthy pumpkin, straight from the dirt, not the kind with baking spices A few hours later the petrol smell dies out, and there's a sweetened soft pumpkin flesh left behind, which is very pleasant.

LavenderCoffee Report post Posted Tuesday at 11:10 PM Is petrol meant to smell different than gasoline? freshly applied it does not smell like filling up the tank, imo - something more like paint thinner maybe. thar be fumes but not the fumes I seek! I do however get a nice scorchy sweet pumpkin as the fumes die down. smells great when it's dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supertrooper Omni Report post Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Oh the bpal pumpkin spice is always pretty so specific and recognizable! Hi! I get a minute of the petrol-y motor grease kerosene smell, which is delightful but fleeting, then it starkly shifts to intense celery salt and strong pumpkin spice candle. This could be an issue with my dry ass skin and 60ish degree weather though. The remnants smell good on my sheets, but it's really distinctive and too distracting for me to wear.
