A Bachelor's Dog

Recommended Posts

Soft musk, leather, and Brazilian cigar tobacco.


Musk, leather, tobacco, all the notes are here and it's glorious! It's soft, smooth, subtle, very well blended and it's just perfect. Edited by Suusje

in the bottle: SUPER powdery musk & dry, dusty tobacco. no leather to speak of.

 

on my skin, the leather starts to come out, but it blends really well and doesn't overpower with that bold, slick, shiny black leather note that i get a lot in perfume. the tobacco is sweet but dry. the musk, though... it's really powdery, and i'm not sure how i feel about it.

 

it's not a very masculine scent, despite what you might think. it's quite soft and sweet- not exactly feminine, but quite gender neutral.

 

the powder is starting to calm down as the oil dries. it's quite a powerful scent, and a little goes a long way. applied with a light touch, this would be a good choice for a casual, everyday perfume.

Thanks so much to the lovely chinkee21 for a bottle of one of my most sought-after scents! :wub2:

 

A Bachelor's Dog starts off super powdery, and I feared it would be like Hellfire--no smoke, all powder. After half an hour or so the tobacco deepens and the leather and musk unfurl, making this a deep, smoky, yet snuggly scent. The musk reminds me of the "fuzzy" kind in Miss Lupescu but much more tame, and the leather is the brown, worn-in gloves/bomber jacket kind rather than the sharp chemical biker leather that dominates a lot of BPAL leather blends. The cigar tobacco is beautifully sweet yet deep, and having run my company's cigar tent during our recent golf tourney it's most certainly evocative of a South American cigar.

 

If bottles of this didn't go for horrendous amounts on eBay I'd buy eleventy billion bottles. I might just buy a backup anyway, it's THAT worth it. If you love tobacco, and you love leather, A Bachelor's Dog MUST be in your collection.

It's my very favorite musk-- that warm snuggly animal musk that's also in my top blend ever, Ivanushka, as well as Coyote.

 

It's almost all musk on me.. there is only a hint of clean pale leather and coconutty tobacco around the edges.

 

Fairly strong on the skin, but with a close throw. A perfect blend in my opinion.:wub2:

Very leathery - reminds me of DeSade leather. The musk is super soft and the tobacco is just barely there. Very warm and cozy.

 

Edit: This just keeps getting better the longer it sits on my skin. The leather stops overpowering and it becomes this sweet smooth leathery musky thing that just makes me feel like cuddling up on a soft leather couch with a warm cozy blanket just pulled from storage and watch my favorite movies.
