Blooddrop Review

Annnnd another box came my way.

Astrid at Blooddrop is a sweetheart. She included as extras a free lipstick, and 2 adorable soaps in the scent " Pumpkin Pie at the Diner after Rocky". Also Hallowmas was sold out but she found one last bottle for me.

Hallowmas
Sacred season of visiting spirits, of nature closing down to sleep and the fleeting days of the long sun. Soft red musk, honey absolute, caramel covered apples, sweet orange, seasonal spices, butter CO2, marshmallow cream.

Ooo buttery and autumny with caramel apples strongly in the background but not taking over the top notes. This is a unique autumn scent. Very smooth, nothing sharp or loud. Well mixed. I like it.

At the Diner After Rocky
The usual food trip after the RHPS brings a group of all sorts: some Goths, some SCA-ers and Gamers, the really odd old guy who still might live in his mom’s basement and that really hot guy you’re too shy to talk to. The selection of meals ordered was just as bizarre as the people, but one favorite was blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup and maple syrup!

OH WOW! I've only worn this for 30 minutes but I have to say that this zips into my top 25 for CERTAIN and possibly top 10 favorite perfume oils of all time. I *love* blueberry pancakes with waffles. My ass can attest to the fact that it's one of my favorite comfort foods. And this smells just like blueberry waffles covered in maple syrup. But.. it's also WEARABLE. I'm not sure on throw or lasting power. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it has both and will probably update this at some point. But you need to try this out if you like blueberries at all. I rarely, if ever, order backup bottles but this is going on my christmas list.

Blooddrop Autumn Scents Review


Apple Cider Doughnuts

Yep. The hype is real. This stuff is like liquid crack. I'm not usually a big fan of wearing appley scents. The apple notes is typically too sharp on me. But this is a very smooth apple. Smells like apple cider doughnuts. Make sure and pick up a bottle!

Plymouth Pear

LOVE THIS. I love pear! This is a great pear. Smells juicy and fresh. I'm going to enjoy layering this with some of my other favorites. Restraining myself from grabbing another bottle.

Soleil 

What a bright and happy scent. I smell champagne peaches. Not very complex but lovely for what it is. I'm going to store this until the spring.

Delicieuse

I smell a musky peppermint and little else. I think this is the only fail with my body chemistry in the batch.

I find the first samples I've received from Blooddrop to be strong with a nice throw. Astrid who owns Blooddrop is super nice and so accomodating. She also threw in a few really nice freebies.

 I'm looking forward to ordering more from Blooddrop!
