BPAL review: Neo-Tokyo

[brigdh]

Neo-Tokyo

Website Description: A 'Wanderlust' scent. This scent was created for a very dear friend in Kyoto, with love, admiration and continent-spanning affection. The name itself was inspired by Vladimir. A scent that captures a meeting of the serenity and elegance of ancient Japan, the vibrant, shining, neon-lit and ultra-modern splendor of today's Tokyo and the fantastic electric fantasyland of post-modern manga fantasy. Urban metallics and an ozone-tinged breath of electric light mingled with reedy bamboo, crisp mountain air, cherry blossoms, delicate orchid and a splash of playful, wet fruits.

In Vial: Mostly sharp ozone, with flowers underneath.

Wet: Very floral, very green, which I guess is the bamboo. It smells just like the stalks of fresh-cut wild flowers, that wet, floral scent.

Dry: Okay, now it smells like a vase of wild flowers, but a few days later, when they're starting to go dry and dusty, but there's still some green and floral left. I love it.

Notes: My favorite one of this batch. I adore this smell.

I love Neo-Tokyo. :D I think it's the only one that I was really looking forward to from the description that really worked on me.

No, I take that back. Hellcat worked on me, too.

It is really gorgeous. I'll have to get more of it.

And ooh, Hellcat sounds good too.
