I want to bathe in this scent. I've been looking for a BPAL rose that captivated me, as I love rose and I love BPAL, but Two, Five & Seven and Hymn just did not work for me. When I got my decant circle package I just sniffed everything and ended up testing Snow White. But I kept thinking about The Peacock Queen and I finally broke down and tried it. I am in love. It is deep, lush, red, red rose in full bloom. Sensuous and sophisticated, and I think I will need multiple bottles.

Well, crap.

 

I knew that I amped tonka, but...WOW. All I get from this is tonka, with a whiff of grapefruit at the back, jumping up and down like a kid who wants to get picked for the sports team, but just ain't gonna.

hepkitten, think you could describe what tonka smells like? Because I'm pretty much getting something that smells like light patchouli, and tonka & neroli are the only things in there I haven't smelled before. It's really really weird.

The rose and the frankincense are not playing very well together. Sort of smells like a Sharpie pen to me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! All I get for hours is a really sharp, astringent smell--maybe partly the labdanum? The drydown is a gorgeous, rich floral, but I can't stand the alcohol smell to get to it.
