Alright guys, I need your help! What sort of scent would you guys put on for going out dancing at night with your friends? Fun, sexy, flirty, mysterious- suggestions, anyone?
-
A scent of peace, reflection, and renewal of the spirit: sakura, ume blossoms, and wisteria. I have been lusting after this for a while, as I love everything with cherry blossom as a note. Not much new to say here from me- a clean, pink floral that reminds you a bit of some very fancy, yummy shampoo. This also has some amazing lasting power on me, which was quite a surprise.

Sugary pumpkins with the tiniest hint of black berries. A very fun autumny scent, to be sure.
-
Pretty nice, a vanilla scent with spicy orange undertones. Right out of the bottle it did remind me a bit of Old Spice, but on my skin turned very lovely and amber. It reminded me a lot of Snake Oil and Vixen at first, but it's something about it is different.

So my first thoughts of Jezebel were very positive! I absolutely loved the sweet honey and floral smell, though I couldn't stop thinking it reminded me of something. Then, when I went looking over the notes and contemplating them, I realized why. Jezebel smells just like Eve on me, only with orange blossom instead of apple. Eve is one of my favorite BPAL scents, so it certainly isn't a bad thing to be like it, but ... do I really need a dupe of it? Undecided, as of now.

Looking for a BPAL that Resembles a Favorite Perfume
antihero replied to Ina Garten Davita's topic in Recommendations
This is a little weird, but I guess it's worth a shot. I was wondering if you guys can think of any BPAL scents that would be similar to Indigo Wild's Zum Bar Goat's Milk Soap in Sea Salt. I absolutely adore the smell, and would snap any perfume up in an instant that resembled it. The only listed notes are sea salt and citrus, so I don't have much to go on, unfortunately. -
I was pretty disappointed in this scent- came out pure peachy playdough on me. definitely for the swap pile.
-
Started off as a sweet, green scent on me. Faded to a green shampoo smell after not very long. To the swaps with you!
-
Delicious butterscotch and coffee! Quick, somebody stop me from licking it off my wrists.
-
Finally picked up an imp of this, since it's the scent every self-respecting BPAL fan has to try. To be honest, I'm not quite sure about it. At first I wasn't sure if it was for me, but something keeps drawing me back to sniff my wrists again and again. Also; smells like an Aveda store. In a good way.
-
May become a new favorite of mine! It starts out as a nice floral, but drys to an ... incense-y orange, if that makes sense? Something sweet with a bit of a bite. It does kind of come out as masculine smelling on me, but I like it too much to care.
-
Lovely dark floral, which I am quickly amassing a collection of. I can't pick out any notes particularly (mostly because I'm not particularly familiar with most of them), but what they all create together is wonderful.
-
Nothing but maraschino cherries and cheap chocolate on me. So gross I had to wash it off.
-
Something loud, fluffy, bright, and in-your-face, from the description of your ensemble. Diary of a Lovestruck Teenage Cannibal? Jailbait?
-
Wet this is so purple and juicy and fun, but it doesn't take long for it to dry down to a soapy lily smell on me. Nice, but I'm not wild about it.
-
When I first tried this I wrote it off as just another dark floral, which I adore but already have several of. On a whim I tried it a second time and wow, this is something different! I love aquatics but they don't seem to work too well on me, but this one did fine. I may have to deathmatch it again The Lady of Shalott (which I ironically got in the same package) since their composition seems so similar, but it's still very nice!
-
wet this smells just like bubblegum to me. big, pink, sticky bubbles. That's still the major smell I'm getting off this, but with something interesting lurking underneath. I've never tried a Dragon's Blood scent before this, so I'm not quite sure what I should be looking for with that note!
-
I got the leaves and a blast of cala lily at first, but it's calming down and I'm getting some of the violet and chamomile now. I like it, but it seems really similar to The Ghost on me, and isn't holding up that well over time. Might have to do some comparisons.
-
This was interesting in the bottle, but on me ... is coming off like fruity sandalwood. I've never really tried a scent with that note in it before, so I was willing to give it a shot, but I really don't like how it's coming out on me. Swap pile, probably.
-
This started out as a super sweet, lovely, springy floral on me. It's faded to a sweet amber smell. The patchouli is there, but not overpowering, and I can actually stand it! Not so sure on it's lasting power- not outstanding or terrible, kind of middle ground. I like it, over all!
-
This is one of my favorites- an aquatic rose scent that lasts forever on me! The lotus sweetens it up to something dreamy.
-
Honestly, this smells like lavender play-dough on me. Disappointing!
-
Tried this yesterday. In the bottle it did smell kind of like grape, but on me it turned into just what it said on the label- sweet ylang-ylang with musk. I didn't expect much out of this one, but I kind of love it. The lasting power is ace too!
-
This started out super smoky rose on me, with some musky amber underneath. It's dried on me to rose, amber, and jasmine. Not getting much magnolia, but I do love what it's turned into on me right now.
-
My track record with lasting power with clean scents is horrid, and Phobos is no exception. It's a very strong, sweet and tangy lemon in the bottle, and on me it's lemon with hints of ginger and other citrus. Sadly, after about an hour and a half, it was almost completely undetectable. To the swap pile with you!
