BPAL Review #?: Spicebush Swallowtail
Brown sugar, sassafras, clove, and wild plum.
Metamorphosis: The Butterflies - Reviews
Imp decant
Attempt: 1
In Imp: Brown sugar! And a hint of fruit?
Immediately after application: Brown sugar has disappeared! Overcome with sassafrass and fruit that has to be the plum.
5 minutes post application:
Wrist - Barely any sugar at all just plums with a hint of sassafrass.
Away - Super strong brown sugared plums. This is delicious
1 hours post application:
Wrist -Plums have faded but it is very strongly brown sugar and cloves (james says it's the cloves) with some sassafrass.
Away - Plum and brown sugar still.
3 hours post application:
Wrist - Plums aren't giving up yet and everything has melded together into this fantastic scent that I just WANT all the time now.
Away - Very faint plum-clove-brown sugar. I want to eat it.
James: Was horrible and simply plain brown sugar on James. I think he enjoyed how I smelled? He was terrified I'd smell like straight up brown sugar but he smelled more cloves on me than anything else.
Allergic Reaction: NONE!
Lasted: 3+ hours gorgeously blended plums-sassafrass-cloves-brown sugar (throw was very light after this however)
Overall: I really enjoyed it and it is one of the first BPAL blends to actually show off more than one note on me. I'm having trouble describing why this is so awesome because everything smelled like they belonged together and I could not pick out where one scent ended and the next began. Honestly, it was perfect and as if BPAL discovered some new hybrid plant that was just pure plums-sassafrass-cloves-brown sugar. This is not a blend I would've thought would work on me and I am SO happy I tried it. This is not a scent I would think of when I think of me, but I want to change that. I want a bottle, maybe two.
