BPAL review: Lightning

[livejournal.com profile] thomasyan pointed out that the link to the Lightning review on my BPAL roundup page pointed back to the roundup page, and I couldn't find where (or even if) I'd actually posted the original. So I'm going to (re?)post it now, even though I tested it back in September or so.



Lightning

BPAL description: From the Bewitching Brews collection. Lightning slashing the midnight skies over the endless reaches of the ocean. The electric tang of ozone, marine notes, and a drop of sharp rain.

In vial: A bit like laundry detergent, actually.

Wet: Hum. Green. Indeed kinda like the air before a thunderstorm, but not quite.

Dry: Hm. Kinda getting a whiff of dryer sheets. There's sort of an interesting scent behind it, but nothing I can really dientify. It went through that "green" stage where it smells sort of like tart, cut flower stems (I think that's what I usually ID as "green," whatever other people call it), but that sort of settled into the unidentifiable smell.

Notes: Tarted! (this means it's got a label tied on, before teh Lab started using sticky labels) Cat not too happy about it. On the bright side, it's got no effect on my allergies whatsoever, but it's not a scent that really does anything for me otherwise.
