tigermilking Report post Posted October 10, 2023 2023 Version Wet and on the arm, it’s all green, almost camphorous sap. Very quickly, that dies down and I get hit with leaves — red and orange leaves, not yet dry and crunchy. The smoke comes later but when it does, it’s absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of walking slowly through my old neighborhood, with fires in the fireplace, stomping through piles of leaves before they get swept up. This perfume has very little throw on me, and lingers for about 6 hours close to the skin. It’ll be a neck pulse wear for sure since I can’t smell it to save my life on my wrists. I am a little concerned though because I can smell the sap even with the bottle closed tightly. My cabinet was super sappy this morning. Hoping the cap is okay!

Hazelluna Report post Posted October 7, 2024 This is seriously one of my favorites. It smells just like you baked some sort of cinnamon cake, and the scent of it lingered on your sweater and you went on a walk after. There is a scent of crisp, cool, air and autumn leaves. The is also something green about it. It's amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indigokid Report post Posted September 9 Im testing my sample of the 2023 version! In the bottle and wet, it is a really nice vegetal and leafy scent. As I let it sit on my skin a bit more, there is that little bit of smoke. It whispers in the background and is blended in really nicely! I think the sap in this is what keeps the scent from going really dry. It does kinda have a men's cologne kind of smell. However, it's all blended together really well! Overall, it smells like the perfect fall scent for someone with more masculine tastes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claire-of-the-Valley Report post Posted Thursday at 03:20 AM (edited) This is for the 2025 version. This is a lot more sharply sour than I was expecting, and I'm not sure which note is causing it. Probably the leaf scent, but I usually like the leaf scent from BPAL. When I first opened the bottle, I really didn't like it, and it didn't get better when I was wearing it. That sour note just stuck around. It's kind of like rotting vegetation, but a sharp, pungent version. I tried it again a few days later, and it's better, some of that intensity faded for something closer to fallen leaves, but still not ideal. The description sounds so lovely, but the actual scent isn't for me. Edited Thursday at 03:27 AM by Claire-of-the-Valley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
