No longer a BPAL virgin

Milk Moon 2007 (A Little Lunacy)
A fertile scent, generous, life-affirming, and swelling with a sense of triumph, warmth, and abundance: sweet milk, golden honey, fig fruit, pomegranate, dates, and white grape.

In the imp: Very sweet and fruity with a faint hint of flowers.
Wet: The sweet disappears, leaving a much stronger flowery scent and a little wisp of dates.
Dry: OMG STRONG FLOWERS.
Later on: The flowery smell has faded now, and it's sweet in a mellow, almost resin-y kind of way. There's a little bit of honey and fruit; it might be the fig and white grape. Delicious. If I thought it would taste the way it smells, I'd lick my wrist.



Lust (The Seven Deadly Sins)
Uncontrollable passion and insatiable sexual desire: red musk, patchouli, ylang ylang and myrrh.

In the imp - Sweet and resin-y, with what I think are the ylang ylang flowers in the background.
Wet - Strong resin smell, like incense. Hint of sweetness.
Dry - The resin is still there, but it's faded into the background now and the sweet/flower smell is stronger. The combination of scents reminds me of dragon's blood resin.
Hours later - Warm, rounded scent like dragon's blood resin, but not as sharp. Sweet.

Yes, you're probably right. And yes, in the long run, all that matters is whether it smells good to you or not. If everyone else insisted it smelled great but to you it smelled like manure, it's not like you'd keep wearing it. ;-)
