BPAL SONG OF NATURE
REVIEWS/THOUGHTS
I
wanted to post a review on this for the first moment I got them from
the mail but I couldn't make my mind in some of these if I really
like them or not. The main reason I got these is the nature theme. I
love the sea and I could stay just watching the weaves for hours.
I
don't know if other perfumer have made scents inspired by the
creatures of the sea again but I did find it very inspiring and
original. I love the artwork as well. For the look of these bottles
and the notes I realize that Beth put a lot of care into these.
Desmonema:
White
amber and mimosa with tendrils of Italian bergamot, myrrh, green
tangerine and green patchouli, sheer coconut, quince, and vetiver.
Demonema
the giant jellyfish! When I first read the description, I found the
combination of notes quite intriguing. The sourness of the tangerine,
bergamot and quince, the sweetness of the coconut and the resinous
amber and myrrh combined with the earthy patchouli and vetiver
From
the Bottle:
I get vetiver, patchouli and sour tangerine and bergamot. The
bergamot here is strong and real. I love it
Wet:
The vetiver is still very strong and makes the perfume very earthy
and I don't know if this note is suitable for a jellyfish really. I
see here why some people may not like this because vetiver doesn't
have as many fans. The quince is a very clever addition and makes the
whole sweeter.
This
is a complex perfume and everytime I put my nose close to my wrist I
smell something different.
Dry: The
vetiver is getting softer now and the coconut becomes more obvious. I
still get some sourness but isn't overpowering or annoying. The
drydown is a green, powdery and a little bit sour patchouli
All
in all I can't decide how I feel about this perfume but it's
definitely unique!
2)Epibulia:
East
Indian Mango, cassis, blackcurrant, orange carnation, sugared
coconut, and Maid of
Orleans.
Belongs to the Siphonophores species. Similar
to jellyfish. I got a half bottle of this because I love the smell
of cassis and I was hoping that this will take me to France, where is
possible to find anything with this fruit: Ice creams, liqueurs etc..
I still have a bottle of a liqueur which I use with white wine!
From the bottle: Mixed
fruits and jasmine. It reminds me of a fruity bubblegum.
Wet: Mango,
orange, jasmine.
The cassis
and the red currant are there too but the jasmine and the coconut are
taking over.
Dry: Drydown
is a juicy jasmine with a hint of creaminess from the coconut.
Overall,it's
a very nice summer scent. Nothing spectacular in my opinion as it
does smell like a conventional perfume but I really enjoy wearing
this when the weather is hot.
3)Octopus:
Pale
moss, white kelp, sea buckthorn berry, ambergris accord, Somalian
frankincense, rose geranium, and salt.
How
cool is to have an Octopus named perfume in your collection! Well I
thought the same lol!
This
is my favorite of the three perfumes I bought, When I smell this from
the bottle is fresh and salty. On my skin it doesn't change too much.
The strongest note is the aquatic / ambergris accord mixed with the
rose geranium. It last at least three hours on me! It fits it's name
perfectly and I love it!!!!!!
