Snow Angel
BPAL description: Cherubic spun sugar with a hint of lemon, sparkling peach, and floral tea.
In the bottle: Virtually colourless oil. Sweet, cold, wintry pine or evergreen, hint of lemon. Definitely picking up on the lab's snow note and the piney note most strongly.
Wet: Sweet, smoother, less cold and piney. The tea note immediately emerges, melding with the pine in a pleasant manner. I think there is juniper in this, too, I'm getting a gin like feel. Lemon is gone.
Dry: Okay, the pine is amping up again. It's definitely multiple evergreens, I'd guess pine, fir and juniper. But that snow note is gone, and this while very woodsy, this is not a cold scent. The sugar note is distinct, and has a hot edge, like spun sugar. Faint, feminine florals.
Later: Peach, hello! You've been hiding, probably underneath the sugar, but you're here now, fruity and sweet and true. Not really sparkling, but a lovely note. The sugar has taken a bit of a vanilla tone, which I don't like - it's a bit fakely sweet. There's something plastic here. Evergreens and tea hold, flowers still barely detectable.
Summary: Quite a morpher, but it settles down into woodsy pine and earthy/mossy juniper with smooth tea, over sweet sugared peaches and light musk, with very faint flowers. It's the most feminine woodsy scent I've tried, and uniquely and harmoniously blends some otherwise rather disparate notes. Good throw and lasting power.
It's too heavy on the pine of me, and the super sugary and plastic stages aren't fun, but the drydown is overall quite pleasant, as the juniper takes on an earthy, almost mossy tone and mingles with some musk. I really wish I got more flowers and less pine, then this would be LOVE. Alas, it's off to swaps.
Though far to unique to be closely similar to anything else, this blend has elements reminiscent of:
Snow Bunny, Snow White, Fae, The Apothecary, Fairy Market, Dorian, Feé, Theodosius and Golden Wave (especially in drydown).
