milo Report post Posted January 3, 2010 Aagh the first!! Many thanks to JenJen for frimping me a sniffie of this! Wet, this has a bitter, vetiver-like vibe to it. As it dries, a lily/jasmine comes out, and we get a fresh green floral. There is a touch of sour fruit or citrus here I think. All in all, a fresh, spring-like blend that will be lovely when the weather gets warmer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ljaylh Report post Posted January 20, 2010 Annnnnnd.. many thanks to milo for passing it along to me! When I saw the name "Night Parade of 100 Demons" I thought hmm.. what's this going to smell like?!? and I have to say I was expecting something.. well.. demon-like. Instead, this is actually quite pretty! As milo said, it definitely has a vetiver-like, almost dirt-like zing in the vial and when it first hits my skin. But that fades quickly once it starts drying, and then a fresh floral appears. I'm going with a lily-type floral, or perhaps narcissus, I don't think it's jasmine cos I can usually pick that from a mile away, but it could possibly be a jasmine variant that's lighter than 'plain' jasmine, or it could be the mysterious 'night blooming flowers' that appear in other BPAL blends. It definitely has a fresh, green edge to it. Further into the dry-down, the green ripens and sweetens a bit and there is something slightly fruity in there - a citrus kind of fruit, maybe a dash of lime? Perhaps some ginger? I dunno.. this is a tough one to decipher! Half an hour in, the floral has mellowed and that smoky vetiver-ish thing has come back, but now everything's balanced beautifully and it's a lovely warm scent. I can't wait to see what the notes actually are, when this one gets released! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myth Report post Posted May 5, 2010 Cologne… a bit soapy. Turning ever more Irish Spring as it dries. This means something green and/or floral, and because I amp that kind of evil, I can't tell you if there's anything else in here or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
