BPAL: Gluttony

Gluttony: (Sin and Salvation) Thick, sugared and bloated with sweetness. Dark chocolate, vanilla, buttercream, and hops with pralines, hazelnut, toffee and caramel.
Vial: toffee and hazelnut, very sweet and thickening
Wet: very strong hazelnut. Different from Miskatonic U. with the toffee and caramel underlying it.
Drydown: still nutty—hazel and praline--and caramelly. No chocolate yet. Something kind of sharp coming in, might be the hops. Still very sweet and thick.
Dry: a more perfumy smell is coming in, although the sweet nuts still predominate. Vanilla and hops really take over at this stage. Lasts over 24 hours, gradually fading.

Not going to make it. But the next Etarin story is at 9067 words. I have to finish it up and add 2 more sex scenes.

After that, I think it's all Alive on the Inside getting ready for Apex.

BPAL: Sheol

SHEOL (Ars Moriendi): The final burst of the soul’s light and joy before passing into the depths of the earth, and into the cords of Sheol; Sheol, who is never satisfied, and who makes wide her soul to all. Vibrant gladiola, graceful stargazer lily, triumphant iris and bright heliotrope flare, and is finally made somber by heavy copal, a drop of labdanum, and tonka.

Vial: Floral. Lily and others
Wet: Some other flower in the mix takes over. Lily is there, but others are as well.
Drydown: Something other than flowers is coming out from under. Some iris scent and lily, with the bottom note getting stronger. A spicy, woody scent, the copal and labdanum respectively I think, has taken over most of the flowers. Flowers are back, still don't know what, but it's a very white and springtime scent. Flare is a good word.
Dry: Dry flowers and wood. Very perfume-y, and nice. Good throw.
Later: Mostly wood and resin smell, like incense, but not as strong. Flowers are gone. It's a church-like scent and a serious one.
Summary: It does flare floral and then sober down into something of resins. It's serious and formal. It feels like a winter scent.
