BPAL review: Fortunato

[telophase]

My last review to post for a while :D



Fortunato

BPAL description: From the LE - Descent into the Maelstrom collection. A deep, rich sherry encased in dusty darkness, touched by oak, and damp catacomb stone. The scent begins with a sense of drunken glee, of orange peel, bittersweet berry and rose hip, and moves inexorably towards the dread and terror expressed in black patchouli.

In vial: Bitter patchouli, with something else on top.

Wet: The bitterness of patchouli comes out first, then the orange comes out a bit with the berry.

Dry: Bitter berry.

Notes: The cat is not impressed and would like to go back to sleep, kthnx. The bitterness is not doing well on me.

Hrm. Berry? Hrm. Bitter. Hrm.

Bitter like neroli.

Is this a bottle or an imp? I'm trying to think if I have anything you'd want in trade, because neroli + berries + Yoon = good seems the general trend...assuming someone else hasn't claimed this?

It's an imp, and I've got two left. :)

For LE imps I've got
Mistletoe
Cerberus
Snow Moon
Hearth
Yuletide
Pumpkin Patch #1

although I suspect you've tried these all already. *rue*

Cerberus is the only one I haven't tried. I suspect the musks won't do well on me, but I'm willing to try because I'm curious about the description. :D

I'll send Cerberus out to you tomorrow, then? The thing mutated ferociously on me, so who knows what it will do for you. ^_^

:D Sounds great - I'll get it off to you tomorrow as well.
