violetrose

In the bottle, my nose revels in lush, deep purple violets and bouquets of Persian lilacs. On my skin, the lilacs burst into bloom and demand my attention. Reminds me of when I was a child a picked armloads of lilacs from my Grandmother's bush. Dry, the violets temper the brightness of the lilac. After half an hour, tuberose warms the blend. As the fragrance lingers, the tuberose fades away leaving a hint of violet and a cloud of lilac. Lovely! My signature BPAL scent.

In the bottle, I smell thick, dark syrup over a hint of rich, lush fruits. On the skin, the fruits jump quickly to the foreground, but fade softly into a background of caramelized sugar. After a half hour, the caramelized sugar warms with a hint of mexican vanilla which lasts for hours on me. My favorite autumn BPAL fragrance, so far!

Trick or Treat smells just like candy corn! In the bottle, it was a rush of buttery, syrupy sweetness. On the wrist, it smells sweet with a hint of honey, and perhaps, a tiny touch of cinnamon. A very whimsical scent, yet complex in the depth and variety of notes that come through. Not serious at all. Good Halloween fun.
