BPAL review: Vice

[telophase]

Vice

BPAl description: From the Sin & Salvation collection. Voluptuous and indulgent! A deep chocolate scent, with black cherry and orange blossom.

I got it because it sounded interesting, no other reason. I like citrus scents, but so far nothing citrus has stayed citrus on me.

In vial: Chocolate underneath the scent, with the orange touches making it smell like those chocolate oranges you can buy. Something very familiar on top, can't quite place what it is (well, obviously the black cherry, but it reminds me of soemthign else).

Wet: Still chocolate orange, although not so orange now. A sort of half-incense, half-floral smell to it. Again, smells like a New Age shop. Or Renfaire. Now very much incense-y. In a good way, not that overpowering headache-inducing incense smell.


Dry: Mostly light chocolate, faintly fruity scent, although not identifiable as orange. But some form of candy. 30 minutes later: still candy. But not bad.


Notes: Cat spent more time sniffing this than any other so far. Subtle scent on me, not overpowering. I'm wondering aobut the advisability of wearing it to work: I might end up trailed by hungry librarians, positive that I was hiding candy.


ETA: Totally no staying power. 3 hours later and there's no trace left.
