This was the first BPAL oil I ever sniffed! Yay. It was one that I wouldn't have necessarily thought to try, but I'm glad that I did.
Upon first sniff, my thought was... Christmas tree! Very strong, piney scent. After wearing it a few times, though, it definitely mellows out into a softer pine scent, more akin to a forest than a Christmas tree. I get a small hint of lemon (at least wet, I've yet to notice the lemon dry on my skin) and a hint of mint that seems to meld together with the pine, and, at least to my nose, is almost indistinguishable from the other.
It's a bit of a confusing scent, at least in terms of a perfume to be worn, but I sort of like that. It's different.
In sniffing my first three imps, I accidently got a bit of each on my fingers when opening the bottles. Velvet and Hemlock actually seemed quite nice together, and I might very well wear a bit of each purposely next time. (Though I did confuse a few people by saying, "hey! I smell like a chocolatey Christmas tree!" at first )
