BPAL Madness!

Flower Moon is a vision of nocturnal tenderness: pale ylang-ylang and moonflower absolute unfurl against sun-baked earth that is cooling under springtime moonlight. Flickers of white agave nectar and fragile, luminous stargazer lily exhale over a whisper of dark amber and wild honey, like sweet pollen dusted onto velvet wings.

In the Bottle: Smells dark and cool, floral which are subtle with a slight sharpness edge and some dusty earth in the background

 

On the Skin: the last thing I wanted was loud, screechy florals and this is not that, thankfully.  It starts off quite gently but the flowers find a voice quickly, always with the cool, earthy grounding, with Lily being pretty prominent.  Nectar/honey rounds things out without being obvious.  I find this really lovely and eerily dark and enticing.

This has CRAZY throw on me. The incense is unlisted, but there's a LOT of incense, some very sharp lily, and spicy-sweet ylang ylang. The sharp lilies die down after a couple of hours, and Flower Moon remains floral incense, with a hint of something sweetly balsamic, on me for *hours*. Seriously, I'm on hour 8 over here and still going strong. The projection's died down since this morning and it's definitely closer to my skin than it was, but it's still very noticeable. 

 

I went to try Flower Moon's accompanying hair gloss a minute ago, and I figured I'd reapply a drop of the perfume oil so I could better understand how they complemented each other. Possibly this was a mistake: the little drop of Flower Moon I reapplied has BLOTTED OUT the Passionflower & Wild Plum Hair Gloss. I feel like a walking cloud of incense. 

 

Whatever incense accord this is, it would appear I amp it. I wish I'd gotten more of the florals and earth notes! It was definitely a pleasant smell, just not what I'd been hoping for, and probably a bit too incensey for my tastes. I'll give my decant a month or two before I retest to see if it calms down at all.

This scent is so delicate that in the bottle I don't get much impression. However, on my skin it has incredible throw & opens up to a light floral with a slight skin musk moment. I really need 3 more bottles. Haha! Right up in my top 5 favorites. Deeply in love.
