The
Halloween BPAL update is LIVE!!!! I need almost 10 of them but
I have to wait till I win the lottery lol!!
Thankfully
these will stay up until December so, we have a little more time to
save up.
Reading
the whole update I noticed that I already have some of these scents
and I thought to retest them.
PERFUME:LE
REVENANT
2011
COMPANY: BPAL
AVAILABILITY: Halloween
limited edition, original in 2011 but it has been re-released this
year so you can find it at the Bpal site until December!
OFFICIAL
DESCRIPTION:A
shroud of gardenia, narcissus, and sandalwood with ambrette seed,
white cognac, muguet, davana, and white musk
BEFORE I SMELL: I
see Baudelaire and white florals and my mind goes WANT NOW. That
unfortunately doesn't always mean that the scent will work on
me...
FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE:
From the imp this one it's very
elegant and feminine. Reminds me the women I see sometimes all
dressed up and then they come by this is the perfume that you aspect
them to wear. Floral and a little bit soapy.
WET ON SKIN:
The muguet it's the most obvious note. I also get something green
maybe it's the narcissus and the davana. This gardenia note, it's
similar to the one Arcana use's in the Moonflower's bliss perfume.
It's greener and sharper than the actual flower.
DRY DOWN:
This one doesn't have a good staying power on me neither a good
silage. After 3 hours it's almost gone. The dry down is musky
sandalwood with a hind of white floral.
FINAL THOUGHTS: If
you are looking for something to smell like Chanel or another
conventional perfume, I think this is for you. It's very nice and if
you work in an office or with other people and you need something
that most people like and find it inoffensive, this is the one
because it's light and stays close to the skin.
As
for me, I've already have musky white florals so I don't need a full
bottle of this.
What do you think about Bpals new update? Any must haves?
Oh yay, Halloween perfumes!!! Did they re-release Samhain in this update? I just bought 2 Halloween perfumes last night from OHWTO, I need to be rich for all the other Halloween perfumes I want, haha! What does Muguet smell like?
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήRachel YES!!! They re-released it! I thought of you immediately when I saw the update:) They also have a new scent Samhain in the Pumpkin patch!
ΔιαγραφήMuguet it's green and powdery to my nose. I love how the real flower smells but it doesn't always smell good on me, it gets a little bit like a cologne or a vintage perfume. It also reminds me some green chypre perfumes that I have smelt. It's another name of lily of the valley.
Oh geez, we need to win the lottery together because I want too much stuff! Thank goodness I finally got a better job that has hours, so I will be able to get Samhain before Decemer and finally send Nadja some perfumes. :)
ΔιαγραφήThanks for letting me know what muguet smells like- I haven't heard of it before :)
Congratulations on your new job Rachel! I am so happy for you!
