oyceterBlood Rose
BPAL: Sensual, robust, and silken: voluptuous red rose bursting with lascivious red wine and sultry dragon's blood resin.
Imp: Ew. Ew ew, wine. Ew, alcohol smell. Ok, I do not like.
Wet: Ewwwwwwwww still gross. Ew, it smells like bad, fake grape juice laced with alcohol. Ew ew ew ew. Gack. Ok, a little more rose is coming in, but still really gross. It smells like sour grape juice, ew.
Drydown: Ok, a little better. Now it just smells sickly sweet. I think that's the dragon's blood, because that's sort of what Wrath briefly turned into before going all cinnamon-bomb on me. Still gross though.
Unsurprisingly, there is absolutely no way I am keeping this. Ew!
Rat review: Fitz-rat tried to eat my wrist again. Apparently we do not agree on the appeal of this scent! Fool-rat was indifferent. I think Fool-rat is not very into perfume, but Fitz-rat is really quite curious about it. He sniffs and sniffs and sniffs. And then I was mean and put some on his back. It smells a little better on him because he's all ratty smelling and I guess rat smell works better with resin smell, but he still smells weird! Great. My rat smells like sour grapes.
Huh. This is really weird. Now my rats smell like jam! Weirdness!
Um. Is it really bad to have rats smell essential oils? For some odd reason, my rat health care book doesn't cover this, and I don't want to be accidentally poisoning them or something =(.
Dirty
BPAL: A wonderful antidote to an all-nighter oozing with drunken, addled perversion and debauchery. A fresh, crisp white linen scent: perfectly clean, perfectly breezy.
Imp: It just sort of smells fresh and wet. Hard to describe, and the BPAL description isn't giving me anything specific to go on, alas.
Wet: Now it smells even wetter! I have no idea how to talk about this. It just smells sort of wet and clean.
Drydown: I still have no idea what it is, but it becomes a little less wet and a tinge spicier, almost. I really like this. It doesn't smell like a smell; it's just sort of there and being its nice, anti-perfume self. This is very good, given that I tend to dislike heavy smelling things.
Haha, maybe I need a bottle of this too! Man, and I just placed an order for bottles of Severin and Embalming Fluid. On the other hand, it's nice to discover that I don't actually hate perfume, like I originally thought!
Rat review: Got another nibble from Fitz-rat! But not the "Yay! Food! Must eat!" reaction that I get from Severin and Embalming Fluid. Doesn't smell like anything on the poor fuzz, quite possibly because he still smells faintly of jam from the Blood Rose with an itty bit of cinnamon still (my god, STILL) from Wrath.
