crosspross

To me, this blend is evocative of the old West. It brings back a lot of memories of small towns that I've stopped in while on road trips, with their antique shops and old buildings where booze and cigarettes have seeped into the walls. It also reminds me of going to summer camp on a ranch in East Texas - saddles and boots and wooden cabins. So because of this, I find it pleasant to smell for a little while, but I would never consider wearing it again because it is very masculine, and not the kind that is easy to get away with, either. It has more throw than any BPAL I have tried yet and lasts a long time. To sum this review up, you should buy Perversion as a gift if you know any cowboys.

When I first put this on without reading the description, it smelled VERY floral; I was especially reminded of honeysuckle and lilly of the valley. I would never have guessed the white tea and ginger until it dried down and ended up smelling EXACTLY like a candle I have been burning lately called...White Ginger Tea. So, it will probably always smell like a "room" smell to me, but I imagine that it would be very charming on someone else. Also, I can not even smell it unless I put my arm RIGHT up to my nose. Edit - I'm also picking up on the 'professionalness' that was mentioned of this scent. It smells like something that a very kind teacher would wear!
