House of Yum
The BPAL labbies timed my Yule shipment perfectly. It arrived yesterday, around 11am, a moment when I was wondering just how my week– and month– was going to go. Was I grounded? Would I be entertaining my weekend visitor with a bare cupboard? Oh, the uncertainty.
So here's what arrived: the single yummiest shipment of oils I have ever received in o these long months of BPAL collecting.
- Lick It! — "What else could possibly be more lickable at Yuletide? This is a candy cane perfume, minty, sweet and sugared."
- Gingerbread Poppet — "Warm, cozy gingerbread spiced with nutmeg, clove and cinnamon."
- Snow White — "A chilly, bright perfume: flurries of virgin snow, crisp winter wind and the faintest breath of night-blooming flowers."
- Sugar Cookie — "Affectionately nicknamed 'The Devil's Bake Sale'."
- Beaver Moon — "Because it was too hard to resist, BPAL’s Beaver Moon is sillier, sleazier, and full of camp. This scent is of cheesecake and cupcakes, more in line with it’s cheekier connotations, and really hasn’t a damn thing to do with Luna at all!"
These are perfumes that have me sniffing at my wrists all day. So delicious! I could swear that Lick It! has a touch of chocolate, and I'm amazed to find myself loving Snow White. I'm not normally a florals sort of girl, but this is a very delicate white floral that's not at all cloying, and there's a decent dose of vanilla in the drydown as well.
I'm a little afraid of Beaver Moon-- the cream cheese tang is pretty strong. But I want to try it. Sugar Cookie is the only off note; in the bottle, I feel uncertain of it, but I'll work up the nerve to try it and we'll see.
I'm wearing Gingerbread Poppet right now. It's perfectly the smell of delicious things baking. How does she bottle that?

you've really got me regretting that I didn't order Sugar Cookie, and glad that I still can!
