lathanyThe Tarot series is, sadly, discontinued and therefore is not described on the BPAL site.
The Lovers
A review1 I found reads: "I am new to trying the Tarot blends and I find the notes to be somewhat herbal and unfamiliar to my nose in this particular blend. I know it has cinnamon in it and an herbal note (no idea what it is). The cinnamon is most noticeable on the initial application, but fades into the background of the herbal smell on the dry down. This wore very light on me and I touched up often, as I tend to love cinnamon. This is somewhat reminscent of Harlot...slightly. I'll be very interested to see the contents of this when the notes are added to the site. I also loved this one. I do think the Tarots take a little time for your nose to adjust, as is the case with the voodoo blends for me. I ended up really liking The Lovers."
Another one says: "A very nice floral. Perhaps ylang ylang? Maybe some neroli? There is an herby scent peeping out now. Maybe some woodiness as well calming the floral down. Altogether nice!"
The reviews for this one are interesting as the reviewers have completely differing views on what's in this one (all the reviews I mean, not just the ones copied here)!
In the bottle: Sweet, slightly floral, rather faint.
On the skin: More of the same. I'm not sure what the floral part is, I may have to read the site reviews to figure it out. It's not something I easily recognise (which, admittedly, could mean it's anything!). Having looked at the reviews, they aren't terribly helpful but most people reckon there's some cinnamon in there (apart from me and a few others).
An hour later: It's OK and distinctive, but I don't like it quite enough to count it as a keeper.
1 Note: I tend to put BPAL on before I hunt reviews.
