BPAL: 4 scents

[valarltd]

Twilight (Ars Morendi) An enigmatic, otherworldly scent, brimming with power and mystery. Lavender and jasmine, with a touch of glowing honeysuckle.
Vial: lavender!
Wet: lavender and jasmine
Drydown: Ugh, powdery lavender and jasmine. I am not liking this at all. One of these three notes is not working for me. Something is going VERY soapy.
Dry: Soapy lavender

Havana (Wanderlust) Date palm, dried tobacco, snakeroot, and leather.
Vial: Mild tobacco smoke, something boozy and flowers. This is yummy, what I had hoped Santo Domingo would smell like
Wet: Flowers with a boozy undertone
Drydown: flowers. Tobacco makes it a little more complex, but doesn't take over. I like this. It reminds me of college for some reason.
Dry: Flowers with a nice underlay. Really pretty.

Hunger (Ars Amatoria): Evokes sheer, unadulterated carnal lust. An undeniably warm and sensual scent. Black narcissus, orange blossoms, and vanilla.
Vial: narcissus, but with a rotten smell
Wet: Definitely narcissus with some vanilla
Drydown: Vanilla and orange blossom coming out. Narcissus recedes. Definite vanilla, almost plasticky.
Dry: Very vanilla with flowers. Still plasticky. Yuck.

Black Pearl: (Bewitching Brews) Evocative of the sea's unplumbed mysteries. Gentle and lovely, but menacing and profound. Coconut, Florentine iris, hazelnut and opalescent white musk.
Vial: Powery perfumy, very sweet
Wet: flowers and a vanilla scent
Drydown: mmmm, very nice floral. Hazelnut isn't taking over. Mostly musk and iris.
Dry: Some coconut comes out, but mostly musk and iris. Lovely!
