Snow Bunny

[Sweetie666]

Not so spooky, right? Here's to finally being able to hit the slopes again! Soft white powder snow with a touch of youthful girlie perfume.

*Snow Bunny 2005*

Lemony snow and pine! This is a crisp, cold scent that I absolutely adore!

[Andrea912]

I am excited to review this as it is four years old and has aged!

 

Wet: very sweet; reminds me of candied sugared fruits; I think this is similar to Candy Phoenix or Schrodinger's Cat without the mint...

 

Dry: still very sweet and sugarey and fruity. berries, mostly; pomegranates, perhaps?

[sprocket21]

Wet, this is very pine-y with a hint of florals. It's not very sweet and reminds me a bit too much of cleaning products . It remains the same from wet to dry, maybe gets a bit more pine. If the pine is the 'snow' note I've heard so much about, then I know now that it's not a good note for me.

[CynicalPink]

Hopefully something nice and cool for a hot night

 

Imp: Sweet and pine-y

 

Wet: The sweetest, girly-est pine ever. Love it

 

Drydown: Pine and snow with a lot of florals. I like it muchly

 

Overall: I'm really coming to love the snow note. And it blends with the pine and florals to make something really unique, but totally wearable. Definite keeper that'll be a welcome addition to the arsenal when the weather cools down again

Snow Bunny

 

At first, I get piney-snow-slush (not my favorite BPAL scent-type), but give it a half-hour or so, and it turns into a cute berry-candy perfume. Reminds me a bit of Candy Phoenix, actually. I like the candy-berry stage, but I'm not sure I want to wait out the pine stage.

[tragedy]

This was all aquatic, high white flowers on me.

A smidge of pine, with some juniper berry thrown in the mix.

Nice for colder weather.

[sarajane]

For some reason, this is kind of... bubblegummy to me. I suppose that's the girlie perfume. I actually quite like it. I can also smell the pine and the snow note. After awhile, the bubblegummy thing fades. All in all, this is a beautiful "wintery" perfume that isn't limited to just being worn in the winter.

[Xylis]

in the imp:

 

i thought i was in trouble when i sniffed the pine. for some reason, it evoked memories of dettol for me.

 

wet on skin:

 

ahh... the pine is getting stronger. i'm quite dismayed at this point of time because i dearly wanted to love snow bunny because of its name. there's a slight tinge of a lemon in the mix which doesn't help in muting the dettol resemblance. i don't think i do pine scents too well.

 

drydown:

 

this is a pleasant surprise! i must say that this scent is quite a morpher. i'm getting whiffs of the girly perfume which i definitely love.. there's almost a slight tinge of creamy vanilla amidst the gentle white florals and sweet berries. i love this.

 

 

verdict:

 

i absolutely loved the drydown of this blend. apart from the early pine stage, this was quite a surprise because i didn't expect snow bunny to be this sweet.. but it's definitely a lovely surprise. i will be cuddling my imp, but i haven't decided if i want a bottle yet.

[DeltaCat]

I found this in my imp box and it is amazing. Citrusy pine! Exactly what I would want Christmas to smell like.

[doublehelix]

This is for the 08 blend.

 

in the bottle: florals with pine in the background. Smells like febreeze..

 

wet on skin: Oh! Sweet pine! very pleasant. No febreeze anymore! this would be wonderful on a cold winter day.

 

dry on skin: This is gorgeous. A lot different on the drydown. The pine is not as strong, but mingles with snow, florals and something else I can't quite make out. Very girly, and a soft pine!

Snow Bunny '05

 

In the bottle you get that BPAL pine "snow note" and a generic smelling "perfume".. On the skin however this opens up. The pine settles down a bit and the girlie perfume comes out.. beautiful florals and surprisingly spicy. A nice, fairly simple yet unique perfume which will be good for many occasions Glad to have scored a bottle on eBay!

[milica]

I've tested this a few times and today is the last time I'll test it. I've been trying to make myself like it, but it really isn't the scent for me.

 

I like the first 5 minutes on my wrists, when it's still cold and fresh, but after that it becomes girly perfume that is suffocating me. I think I get something like sweet berry scent with a bit of resin, too sweet and reminds me of some artificial berry lipgloss scents. And I can stand it on my wrists, but on my skin it's a bit sour and a bit more sweet and from hour to hour it only got sweeter. No can do this one.

snow bunny is the only snow scent that i've found so far that i can actually wear. it's very cold, but it's also very sweet. in the imp and wet there's a hint of something fruity- a darker berry that borders on fig (but stays firmly on the berry end however), but the fruit fades and i can see where the pine references come from dry.

 

it does have that impression that i get from some snows of bath products but it's not overpowering.

 

i like snow bunny enough to keep my imp and the novelty of having a snow blend i can wear without pain makes me want to find a partial bottle but at the same time i'm going to wait to see if it gets released again so that the people who actually love the blend can access it.

[DifferentDances]

Bottle: Damp snow and berries.

Wet: Faded swiftly; snowy powder.

Drydown: The snow is very faint and giving way to a soapy smell.

Dry: Faint baby powder with a bare hint of berry.

 

My rating: 2/5 It's nice, but I have so many similar, stronger scents.

[Sultaana]

Any "snowy" smell makes me happy (I'm so excited for this years Yules!) and Snow Bunny is one of my favorites. I love the chill and the sweet perfume and this one wears in a delicious, subtle way for a long time.

2008 version

 

This is like snow and berries with a fresh lemon layer. It's not really 'powdery' for me - it's more fresh and 'wet'. A nice blend but definitely girly and not really my kinda thing.

[cherrycherry]

I've been wanting to try this for a long time and finally got my chance today.

 

Oooooooooooh yum. This is candied snow. Sweet, girlish, soft and beautiful. The throw is fantastic and I keep huffing my wrists. Probably my all-time favourite snow-based blend ^__^

[Miyabi]

2008 version: smells like hair salon chemicals at first, but on the skin it morphs/blossoms into an awesome sweet pine, with just a hint of berry.

 

It's Skadi-esque, but much less in-your-face without the eucalyptus/menthol. I remember ignoring it because I thought, wow, um, Snow Bunny, but it is really cute and really clean, and I'm glad I got it!

[tkannon]

I hadn't read the description before I tried this one so I may have been alittle biased but here goes...

 

I put it on and got warm mulled cider with clove. I wasn't hating this... but then... my grandmother's bathroom scent happened. Cheap potpourri with apple juice mixed in. Then I got home and the DH sniffed, started sneezing and off it came!

 

Not a scent for me I will have to try some of the other 'winter' ones and see what I can find.

[Drae]

Yay, my first BPAL testing!

 

This is for Snow Bunny 2008

 

In the Bottle: I'm getting a soapy-sweet floral, but the soapiness is pleasant. There's a specific flower I smell but can't recall what it is. Faint pine and a tinge of icy lemon.

 

Wet on my skin: It smells...fluffy. Fluffy, yet damp. The sharpness of the lemon is gone and it really mellows out. During the drydown the sweetness amps and becomes berry-like, but the pine is gone, unfortunately

 

Dry: Pretty much the same as wet. Like sugared berries with a hint of soap. I think it morphed too much on me, the sweetness of it makes it less fresh and snowy like it was in the bottle. I don't hate it but I don't think I love it enough to keep the bottle.

 

Edit: After a few hours, this just smells like a synthetic berry room spray on me. Swapping for sure

I had been craving the perfect snow/evergreen/red berries blend - and this is exactly it!

 

Freshly applied, it does remind me a lot of Skadi, only without the sharpness. But the way the various components waft and dance on my skin is very similar.

 

After a few minutes, the "girlie perfume" starts opening up and becomes sweeter. My nose still interprets it as berries, but it's taking the blend in a different direction now, less crisp evergreen and, well, more perfumey. Not that it's a bad thing, because it smells amazing!

 

After complete drydown, I'm in total snowy heaven. It's airy, floral, fruity, a tiny bit sweet, soft and fluffy, with a touch of very slight sourness that I often get (and love) from real evergreen. Snow Bunny had better come back this Yule, or I'll have to hunt down another bottle of this wascally wintry wabbit

[loubric]

In the bottle it smells like bath oil scented with soft flowers from a field. On me its much stronger but it's sweet and green and soft and lovely and feminine. It's a beautiful smooth flowery scent. Clean and gorgeous!

Origin: Won a 2005 bottle on eBay

 

Initial Thoughts: I love hunting for "snow" scents among the wintry/Yule BPAL offerings. I have no objection to the idea of youthful girlie perfume. This has been on my want-to-try list ever since I got into BPAL.

 

In the Bottle: The first sniffs are very pine/evergreen with a hint of sweetness, but the pine lingers in the nostrils and tilts toward household cleaner pine.

 

Wet: Very pine at first, but very quickly softens with an upsurge of that sweetness. Now the "household" impression is being kept away.

 

Drydown: The sweetness backs off but isn't quite going away. If Beth ever chose to make a Winter Lilith, this would be pretty close.

 

Verdict: I'm definitely glad I got to try this after so long. I may play with it side-by-side with Skadi and other winter favorites to see if it should stay.

[Soupy Twist]

I don't know what year the decant is.

 

Citrus Pine-Sol and baby powder. I can tell that this wants to be the snow/berries of Skadi and The Snow at Noon, but wow, massive fail. And I adore the Lab's snow note.
