BPAL Madness!

Cocoa butter, coconut, tiare, and a squirt of pumpkin juice.

 

(This is a perfume oil inspired by the scent of old school 80’s tanning lotions. Do not use this as a sunblock, as it’s… a perfume oil. Please be cautious with sun exposure, use sunblock every day, etc.)

In the bottle, pretty much all I can smell is pumpkin, with a slight hint of something in the background. But once it hits the skin, that all changes! The pumpkin takes a huge step back and the tanning lotion scent comes beaming through. It's so smooth. The rich cocoa butter and that subtle sweetness of the coconut and tiare. It's impossible not to get visions of long days at the beach as a child, or experimenting with tanning beds as a teenager (Regrets! I have a few!)

 

My hometown used to have a small video store that had a back room behind the counter with tanning beds. The whole place smelled like tanning lotion and popcorn, which is forever etched into my brain, and this is the closest scent equivalent to that I've ever come across. Not that it's salty or smells like popcorn, but the pumpkin component adds that earthy, semi-savory quality.

 

The longer it sits on the skin, the pumpkin that retreated into the background steps back out into the sunlight and mixes so beautiful with the other notes. I'm honestly not much for pumpkin fragrances; I always appreciate what the lab conjures up, but they're usually not my personal preference. This has changed me. I cannot stress how much I LOVE THIS. I will reaching for this one again soon!
