BPAL scent of the day
I'm not going to keep doing this; it's just that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moons_storm wanted to know what my impressions are. I only have a limited number of imps, never fear.-
Earth Ox
It smells neither earthy nor oxen-y; it started out with a scent of melons and then, as it got warmed up on me, turned into something that I feel as 'generally American', candy like, and reminiscent of strawberry and sassafras. I associate root beer and entirely artificial chewing gum, or scented erasers on the back of cutesy little pencils for cutesy eleven-year old girls. I said I was going to be hopelessly, uselessly subjective, didn't I?
I overslept horribly today and spent the day unsuccessfully catching up with myself; it was rather old and snowy, and I worked an awful lot. I did terrorise my colleague who cost me Monday and Tuesday with proof-reading which he then refused to put into practice, into maybe doing that after all. So work-wise, all wasn't really lost.
But all in all, neither the scent of the day, nor the day of the scent, was a real success or led to much happiness.

Earth Ox - Peony, China's national flower, with bamboo for flexibility, plum blossom for perseverance, courage, and hope, tangerine for wealth, orange for happiness, lychee for household peace, pine resin for constancy, golden kumquat and quince for prosperity, narcissus and King mandarin for good fortune, peach blossom for longevity, oakmoss, plum, and tobacco for stability, and a splash of blazing red of dragon's blood... to help you scare away the rampaging Nian.
That's the official description of the blend with all its notes. :) I find how scents work on other people absolutely fascinating. ^_^

Can we keep doing this? I test them blind, and you give me the official description afterwards? I think that might be fun.

I'm not going to wear a new scent every day, because there are days when I wear no scent at all, but when I do, I'll post!
