BPAL Madness!

A tribute to Epidendrum nutans, the nocturnal seductress of the forest canopy. Sweet, indolic jasmine curls around a breath of citrus and moonlit air, a perfume that blooms when the world sleeps.

This is a beautiful, full, almost nectar or fruitlike jasmine. It's very jasmine forward on me in a way I love, and is possibly my favorite jasmine dominant scent to date. The citrus isn't a note at the forefront, but it's making the jasmine brighter. It definitely has a nighttime's coolness to it, and I think that there maybe a touch of moonflower in this, adding to the feel wonderfully. 

 

I am seriously considering getting a second bottle.

 

If you are a jasmine lover, and jasmine behaves on your skin, this will probably be a love. It's subtle and complex while still definitely being a jasmine scent. If jasmine misbehaves on you,this one might be dangerous.

I agree with ShadowEtienne that this is a wonderful jasmine perfume! This starts out as a tame, moderately humid sweet jasmine that goes quite indolic about 20 minutes in (moth balls galore!!) then comes back to its senses shortly afterwards, retaining a bit of funk at the very edges. The description mentions a breath of citrus and it's pretty accurate - I find this sweet and almost fruity, but not explicitly zesty. On me this was pretty low projection and strength, very subtle but quite lovely. I get a bit of a mainstream vibe from this one but because it's so soft, it's not screechy and headache inducing as some mainstream-y perfumes can be. I feel like this and the other floral fragrance (Jamaican Bellflower) from the Hurricane Melissa relief release both fell under the radar, but I would highly recommend trying this if you're looking for a soft but well-balanced jasmine.

Sweet airy jasmine, with a hint of subdued citrus. Swirling, humid, mysterious. I agree there's something fruity without being Fruit. Something sheer and dusky purple about this scent. Stunning!
