more bpal!

i tried two more today:

goneril
White geranium, calla lily, cedarwood and black orchid. A gentle floral bouquet masks a sinister and black-hearted core.

in the bottle, this has a dark, foresty sort of smell (florals and cedar?).
wet, on me--it smells herbal, and there's definitely a clean scent.
dry--it smells like soap.
a few hours later--still soap.
a few hours after that--now it smells like cedar.
i guess this one doesn't work on me, either--i wish i could figure out which ingredient makes it smell soapy on me.

phantasm
This delicate, spectral perfume gives rise to an eerie distortion of of the senses. It bestows an ephemeral, ghostly, and truly haunting quality to your presence. Green tea, lemon verbena, jasmine and neroli.

in the bottle--i can definitely smell the citrus and i think the green tea.
wet, on me--very lemony, like lemon rind.
dry--citrus with an undercurrent of something floral--it's VERY nice!
a few hours later--still citrusy, but not as strong--it's fading already, alas.
i really liked this one and might consider getting a bottle.
