annwfynAieeeda! Suddenly my spending plans are shot to pieces with a new and alarming discovery.
I've found a replacement for the gorgeousness that was BPAL Dublin. It's fresh, it's clean and it's lovely. It's also one of the Halloween scents that I ordered from a decant circle as a crazy experiment.
It is...
BPAL The Twisted Oak Tree
The site says: Blackened, rotted oak wood blanketed in moss and choked by a cloak of grasping ivy.
On the wrist: I don't think this oak tree is rotting. I can definitely smell the moss and the ivy, but it's more the nice sweet green scent of winter weeds growing in the crisp chill air. It reminded me incredibly strongly of a long walk I took in Cornwall last Christmas, when I went out prospecting for winter greenery to wrap around a Christmas stick. I wound up bounding through the woods, picking up holly and ivy, scrambling halfway up trees, and coming back muddy and moss covered.
I wear this, and I feel like I'm outdoors, and everything's alive.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wildrogue - you have to try a sniffle of this!
Final marks: 9/10. This is lovely. It's a gorgeous light fresh scent. It's a little like Spider ought to have been as well. I suspect others may not like it so much - on me it hovers just on the right side of 'mild green fairy liquid' and I suspect it won't last long without a little bit of topping up, but I adore it.
I've also got my other Halloween decants to try. Bonfire Night smells gorgeous in the bottle, and I'm already tempted. Oh...decisions, decisions...
