BPAL review: Oneiroi



Oneroi

BPAL description: This comes from the Somnium collection. Dream Forumla I: Created to invoke the ancient Greek deities of dreams. On the shores of the ocean, somewhere in the West, they dwell behind their gates of horn and ivory. Soporific, dark, and unfathomable: a somnambular blend of deep lavender, white sandalwood, jasmine, bergamot and mugwort. (Gender neutral)

In vial: Lavender, with a dark scent underneath, almost mossy?

Wet: The same, only more so.

Dry: The sandalwood comes out a wee bit, but the rest of it more-or-less stays the same. Fades quickly.

Notes: Cat jerked her head back, but that might be in irritation at me for making her smell stuff all afternoon. I got this one because it is said to give intense dreams, and I wanted to see, so I've actually tested it several times. I have had intense dreams the nights I wore it, but I think that was more due to me waking up at 3AM and lying awake for half an hour seized with worry over various random things, and not due to the scent - the more times you wake up, the more dreams you remember. I'll need to keep testing and see if it actually does antyhing, and even then I'll probably remain convinced that it's more due to the power of suggestion than anything else (o, to be a skeptic! XD)
