Absinthe review
Absinthe review
Fall under the spell of our Green Fairy! An intoxicating blend containing wormwood essence, light mints, cardamom, anise, hyssop, and the barest hint of lemon.
In the bottle: Woo, anise.
Wet on skin: This is a complex layered blend. I definitely smell the anise and the mint, a touch of citrus from the lemon (lovely) and I think cardamom? I have no idea what wormwood smells like.
Dry on skin: Soapy already, damn it. Maybe it will stay true in a scent locket. Lemon-fresh dish soap. Anise comes back after a little bit.
After a few hours: A delicate spring-like floral comes out in the second hour. Must be the hyssop. After a reapplication it's a lovely scent, it stays complex with the anise, mint, and breath of lemon. I really like it!
This is a review from Sunday and I've been reviewing out of order all week as well as being backed up on reviews; since then I've worn Dragon's Milk; and Black Pearl (Monday), The Coiled Serpent (Tues), Beltane 2006 (Wed), The Unicorn (Thurs), and Namaste (Friday). Right now I have Queen of Clubs on and I've reaffirmed this as one of my Holy Grail scents - not only do I love it, but kuwamiko loves it on me. I sniff my wrist and smell different things every hour. Right now it's vanilla laced with pomegranate and the earthiness that screams "Queen of Clubs!"
CONFESSION: Some days I wear more than one BPAL scent! I shower after I work out at 6. Perfect time to change scents!
Unh, someone tell me why I should NOT buy Blue Moon and Tamamo-No-Mae! (My wallet?)
