BPAL - Samhain
I haven't done any scent blogging for ages (about a year actually) mostly because I hit a limit of how many scents I was interested in. I have about 6 I'm really really fond of and quite a few more that I really like, and just wasn't terribly interested in trying more. Actually, I'm still not really, but when the weather turned into autumn (chill in the air) I re-found my favourite scents (it's been too hot to wear most of my scents, they're mostly cold weather sort of scents) I suddenly felt like having a proper autumn scent.
BPAL makes seasonal perfume oils and this one sounded like it could be good:
Samhain: Truly the scent of autumn itself -- damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein.
It starts off a bit murky, definitely getting the fir and the woods in there. Then slowly the pumpkin and the spices come through, like walking toward a house in the forest on a cold day when the leaves are colouring. It mellows out to a really wonderful vanilla-ish baking type scent. I keep pressing my nose in the crook of my elbow and taking a deep sniff. Soooo good.
