BPAL

Favorite Scents:
Myrrh and opoponax, musk, ambers and copal, galbanum, lavender, rosewood, fig, champaca, coconut, opium, cypress, galangal, high john essence, olive blossom, sometimes ozone, honeysuckle, narcissus, black currant, and vanilla.

I tend to smell best in dark, resinous scents, though I also tend to like snowy scents and sun-aspected scents, though I'm scared of the real day-ball.

Fruity and foody aren't my bag and any of their notes tend to jump out of a blend and scream at me, though apricot and honey can usually hang around without causing a ruckus, and I'm finding myself obsessed with coconut all of a sudden. I try to avoid vanilla, but I'm still sort of a sucker for it. Cajeput, civet, milk, cedar and linen go bad on me. I have not yet found any scent I like that's got anything to do with blood (dragon's or otherwise), wine, dirt, or patchouli, which makes me sad because that's about a half of the catalog.

Favorites at the moment are: Seance, Hades, Anubis, Death of the Grave Digger, Masabakes, The Lion, Tzadikim Nistarim, Mercury, Sol, Sylph, Gemini, Chimera, Urania, Yog-Sothoth, Frau Holle, Lyonesse, Defututa, Coyote, Eden, Brown Jenkins, Event Horizon.

But I am always curious and willing to try something I haven't tried before. Gimme your best shot!

    Boom! Deep, dark, plum - smells like a timpani sounds. Base note junkies take note. Herbal elements emerge steadily - first tobacco, then cypress, then hemlock as the plum becomes more of a memory. Every sniff seems different from the last. In the end, I think I smell the lettuce as an almost menacing high note in a big, serious chord. This is a scent for war, sh*t-kicking, the final showdown, no more Mr. Nice Guy. If I had to kick down a door with a gun in my hands, this is what I would wear.

    I love it.

    I agree with previous assessments - reminds me a lot of Sol Invictus. A somewhat sharp, assertive, masculine gold scent. I think it's the verbena. The acidity slowly fades and the ambers take over in the end, but I think I'll stick this one on my guy.

    Predominantly lavender at first. After a few minutes, a dusty, dry, papery yet acrid, almost musty smell on me. Unfortunately I think my chemistry's just not right for this one. It ends up smelling like moth balls on me.

    High John Snake! Definitely smell High John Essence, or something just like it, mixed with Snake Oil. I love high john, so this is perfect-o.

    A strong shot of fresh, wet pine with hints of some kind of nutty wood and a mild berry behind it. I'm guessing something like chestnut and blackberry or maybe black currant. Not cloying or too sweet at all, just a very subtle, lovely accompaniment to normally harsh pine. This may be one of my favorite pine blends so far.
