In anticipation of the
Halloween update from Bpal and from other indie companies I have
decided to revisit my autumnal-Halloween scents!
I love this time of the
year it's actually my favorite. September it's my birthday month as
well so from my childhood I have always waited for this month to
come. I kind of hate Summer and hot weather so Autumn is my perfect
season!
I love the color of the
trees and smell in the air the start of the new season the first
rain... All of it!
My addiction to
perfumes introduced me to America's tradition of this season as well.
When I first saw in the Cocoa's Pink's site that they had pumpkin
perfumes it was so weird for me because we don't have that kind of
perfumes here in Greece and we don't eat pumpkin so much or when we
do we make savory pies instead of sweet one.
My first order with
pumpkin stuff was from Cocoa Pink as well and it was a pumpkin set
for the hair. From that moment I knew I found a new favorite note and
I understood why so many people go crazy for pumpkins.
Then I learned how to
make a pumpkin puree from scratch, keeping it in refrigerator and how
to make cookies, cheesecakes, pies and all that stuff. This year I
may make even a soap with pumpkin!My family at first thought that I
was crazy but now they really enjoy my pumpkin creations!
The lovely Rachel from
the Brighter Star of All blog shared some Halloween themed blogs with
me so I will try to decorate my home too! If I managed to make
something nice I will definitely share with you! I think I will start
with carving a pumpkin and feeling a little naughty with wearing
Mischief from Bpal
PERFUME: Mischief
COMPANY: BPAL
AVAILABILITY: 2012
HALLOWEENIE!
OFFICIAL
DESCRIPTION:The
scent of petty vandalism: toilet paper wads on damp maple trees,
squished pumpkins, raw eggs, beer, pumpkin seed hulls, and soapy
glass
BEFORE
I SMELL: Now you don't reed
that kind of perfume notes everyday and when you do it's highly
possible that it has to do with BPAL!
Toilet paper, eggs, beef, soapy glass? Oh My !
FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE:
From the imp it's hands down
one of the weirder perfumes I have ever sniffed. Cucumber, pumpkins,
something vaguely aquatic, sweetness (from the egg?) and a little bit
of spice.
WET ON SKIN: That's
better! I get the foodie elements more but with an cucumber edge! The
damp maple leaves make this perfume very autumnal and it puts you
immediately in the autumn spirit even though is still hot outside:(
The
perfume description doesn't mention any flowers but it feels like
there are some floral elements to the whole like violet or iris.
In
that point, I smell the beer as well. A woody beer like someone
spilled a bottle of beer in a tree.
DRY DOWN: Fresh
pumpkin, a little bit soapy and not entirely sweet. The dry down is
my favorite part of this perfume and worth the wait.
OVERALL:
I have an imp and this is enough for me. I really enjoy wearing it
but it's not for everyday.
