BPAL review: Black Opal

[telophase]

Black Opal

BPAL description: From the Bewitching Brews collection. A play of geological darkness and jagged brilliance. Soft and luminescent with flashes of black fire. (Gender neutral)

In vial: Sort of a vanilla.

Wet: Vanilla with /something/…

Dry: Vanilla and almost a coconut or milk or something like that underneath it.

Notes: Cat not taking callers. Interesting in an intellectual sense, but I dilike those sort of milky scents, so not for me.

I just tried this one recently, and it's the only vanilla BPAL so far where the vanilla doesn't turn bad on me. (Usually I get a weird spicy baby powder thing.) When I first put this on it smells just like Windex though. The vanilla takes over later, but a little tinge of that Windex smell remains to keep me from really loving it.

Vanilla seems to be fine on me as long as it's not the dominant scent. That milk thing, though, really doesn't work. But OTOH, I've never liked thet aste of milk and I'm lactose intolerant anyway so I'm sure I've got Bad Associations with milk smells.
