    BPAL Fruit Blends - the many variations

    I just recently tried Cheshire Cat, and I'd totally recommend it. A very nice fruity-floral scent that doesn't smell like candy!

    Cheshire Cat

    In bottle: Sweet and flowery, with a hint of grapefruit. Wet: VERY grapefruit, but the current cuts down on the bitterness, making it smell sweet Drydown: The florals come out, but compliment the grapefruit and current extremely well. It smells citrusy, but not. Floral, but not overly. It makes me think of a fantastical garden with huge, pink flowers, and trees with unusual fruits hanging down lazily. Almost tropical, but not quite....more like--dare I say it--Wonderland! Dry: A little more muskier, but still fantastically fruity-and-floral without being too strong. Overall: I loved it! It was sweet and playful, but not childishly so. I may have to get a bottle of this! I was pleasantly surprised, and everyone kept telling me how good I smelled. Even my cat seemed to like it.

    Shattered

    In the bottle: Minty minty minty! Wet: Mint was still the sharpest note, but the grapefruit was very sharp when I first applied it. Couldn't really smell the champagne. Drydown: Very bubble-gummy at first, but then turned flowery. Overall: I think I might give this imp another go before I make a final opinion, but it made me think of gum the entire time. Hmm.

    When your favorite GC blends are discontinued

    Ah, Budding Moon...I've seen them for sale around, so maybe I'll give it a whirl. Thanks! I'm awaiting an imp of Ultraviolet, so I'm gonna see how that works on me. But more recommendations are definitely appreciated!

    Ah, really? I was actually thinking they sounded similar. I'll have to add that to my wishlist. I've also heard that Manhattan and Shattered where similar, but I'd like some personal opinions on that before trying them out, if anyone's tried them.

    So Neo-Tokyo was recently discontinued, and it's been one of my faves for awhile. Has anyone got any recommendations for a similar scent that might help my craving for it? I'd appreciate it.
