BPAL review: Le Serpent Qui Danse

[telophase]

Le Serpent Qui Danse

BPAL description: From the Love Potions collection. A sinister, darkly seductive scent inspired by poetry of Charles Baudelaire. Violet entwined with vanilla and gardenia.

In vial: Intensely floral, but not cloying.

Wet: The florals are going deeper now - can't pick anything specific out, but it's not especially floral anymore.

Dry: The vanilla's coming out a bit more -it's working nicely, but the florals are sort of an off note on me. (a bit later) A nice powdery vanilla scent, but still with those few bits of the florals that I don't like as much.

Notes: The cat is getting really tired of me shoving my hand in her face. Anyway, the scent pretty much turns into a warm softly floral-scented powder. Which I wouldn't mind except that I don't especially like the florals. The vanilla's providing a nice warm counterpoint to it, but it's not good enough to overcome the flowers. But at least I don't have the GET IT OFF ME reaction of other things today, and it's not triggering my allergies.

It's funny- you and I seem to have similar body chemistry. Everything on your "liked" list that I've tried, I also like. I'm way not into florals but LSQD is one I haven't disposed of yet because I think I might like to wear it again. Maybe.

Eve and Lady of Shalott I couldn't get away from me fast enough.

The longer LSQD is on, the better I like it. It's now to the point where if I was given a bottle, I wouldn't turn it down, but I'm not going to hunt for one like I did for Hellcat and Bordello. The florals right at first are a bit off-putting for me, but NO ALLERGIC REACTION YAY.

You're gonna kill me. I keep reading these reviews (particularly enjoying the cat's reactions, since that's something I would do to my cat too) and wishing I had money.... heh. XD
