BPAL Madness!

Black tea, bergamot, red patchouli, peru balsam, and bourbon vanilla.

 

In the bottle, smells a bit like Calandre by Paco Rabane

Wet it's a warm, breathy, feminine bergamot, quite evanescent as one reviewer noted. There is something light and slightly vanilla musk at the edges. The slightly chewy black tea note grounds the blend and keeps it from becoming too musky. There is a slight licorice note to the tea. This is a warm, amber colored scent that in not quite as strong earl grey tea as I would have liked, but is nonetheless quite comforting and gorgeous; it will get a lot of wear. It reminds me a bit of Bewildered in a Dream without the lavender, and the Phoenix having burst her Shell with less Tobacco.

Patchouli Earl Grey! That's what I get from this wet, and a nifty idea for a scent it is, too. Sadly, my skin always eats up tea notes rapidly. This one lasts a little longer by essentially merging with the patch, but the bergamot fades quite a bit. Ultimately the bourbon vanilla comes out to round out the patch, but by that time the Earl Grey is long gone. I wish I could all of the notes to express on my skin at once; that would be fantastic.
