Perfume allergy
Have discovered another BPAL perfume that gives me nasal allergies, Water Snake (limited edition).
Putting the components/scent elements they admit to* here for future reference:
Water Snake: A new year's blessing! Peony, China's national flower, with bamboo for flexibility, plum blossom for perseverance, courage, and hope, tangerine for wealth, orange for happiness, lychee for household peace, pine resin for constancy, golden kumquat and quince for prosperity, narcissus and King mandarin for good fortune, and peach blossom for longevity, with a splash of blazing red of dragon's blood... to help you scare away the rampaging Nian.
PHANTOM TIME HYPOTHESIS
A traditional Medieval perfume that never existed: balm, benzoin, damask rose, gumdragon, lignum aloes, orange water, ambergris, and vegetal musk.
* i.e. a perfume description might not contain exactly what they put in--and it'll never contain all that they put in--it might contain notes that emerge after it's all blended together, which might not have been specifically put in at all. Am I making sense?
