Daily BPAL
Moon of Ice: Frost-crusted winter flowers, white pine, eucalyptus, and traditional lunar oils.
In bottle: There is something weirdly citrusy at play.
On me: Yep. Citrusy. Uck.
Earth Rat: A new year's blessing! Peony, China's national flower, with bamboo for flexibility, plum blossom for perseverance, courage, and hope, tangerine for wealth, lychee for strong family relationships and peace in the home, orange for happiness, pine resin for constancy, golden kumquat and quince for prosperity, narcissus and King mandarin for good fortune, coconut for longevity, and candied melon for good health, with a splash of blazing red of dragon's blood... to help you scare away the rampaging Nian.
In bottle: OH HAI. I PUT FR00T SALAD IN UR BPALZ.
On me: More subtle than it is in the bottle. Sweet melon and lychee.
Anactoria: The scent of the throes of violent passion: entangled limbs, teeth on flesh, furiously grasping hands, the taste of blood and sweat. Golden amber, white honey, red currant, daemonorops, kush, and Arabian musk.
In bottle: Mmmm. Kush, musk,amber.
On me: Same. *hopes for the currant and honey*
Valentine of Rome: Ecclesiastical incense, Roman flora, and the fruits of martyrdom: cypress, olive blossom, frankincense, myrrh, and blood accord.
In bottle: ...that's a weird combo. Twiggy-herbal.
On me: It works, though.
