Hellfire

A scent celebrating Sir Francis Dashwood's Order of the Knights of St. Francis of Wycombe, also known as the Hellfire Club. A swirl of pipe tobacco, hot leather, ambergris, dark musk and the lingering incense smoke from their Black Mass.


Hellfire is the first imp I have ever owned and tried. I received it as a rollerball, mixed with jojoba oil.

The first time I wore Hellfire, I got all the rich smoky tobacco, the leather and smoke that the description promises. I wanted to be in a smoky cigar bar somewhere, listening to jazz and swirling warm brandy in a snifter. That only happened the very first time.

Since then, Hellfire smells very warm and sweet, very creamy on me. I really think that my skin amps sweet scents from the few imps I have tried. I like Hellfire very much as it makes me feel very warm inside.

I do miss that smokiness from my first wearing though ...

My Intro to BPAL

I was introduced to BPAL through another online community that I am an active member in, the LHC. Since first reading about BPAL I have spend countless hours pouring over the boards here, reading recommendations and reviews, reading about the different notes available in the different scents and how they play with one another.   Apparently I have a new addiction! I have a huge list of what I want to try and a very small list of the few imps I have collected. I love the fact that BPAL takes inspiration from so many of the things I love, like HP Lovecraft and astrological signs. It amazes me that the names of the scents really do match the scent itself.   I wanted to have a place that I could list what scents I have tried and what I want to try without having documents on different computers. (I'll admit, I'm bad and sneak minutes at work to read more reviews! ) That's what this blog will be for, a journal detailing my reviews for myself and my wish list.

As a general guide-

Forever searching hunt for the perfect scents of:
Strawberries | Cotton Candy (fairy floss) |

I love the following kinds of notes/smells:
Sugared/Sweet Incense | Sugary Florals | Vanilla Bean
| Desserts | Violet | cream accord |
warm and musky Vanilla does especially and exceptionally well on me |
if all else fails, Amber with sguary sweet or creamy notes usually do the trick.

patchouli | red musk | wood | lavender | dark resins |
most BPAL honey| most BPAL sugar| some ginger | clove | lotus |
some sandalwood | piercing citrus | pine |
eucalyptus | orange anything | ozone

Limited

LIMITED (too small to separate them into categories yet X3)   I don't read reviews to 'match' while writing. I might one day…just to make sure I don't say I smell berries when It's really Egyptian musk But for now… I deal you deal? ;_;   Will also be condensing these reviews and leaving big ones to link off the main categories. So i can fit more in! ... just a little bit addicted ;o; 2004
