Honeyed patchouli, sweet benzoin, smoky labdanum, and white sandalwood.
-
An ode to the BPAL bat: lavender-dusted auburn fur, a drop of hops, Roman chamomile, hay absolute, ambrette seed, and sun-warmed leather.
-
A sebaceous, slick reptilian perfume: green and black vegetal musks, kelp, sea salt, blackened opoponax, violet leaf, Siamese red benzoin, davana, squid ink, and ambergris accord.
-
Red rose petals floating in brackish salt water.
-
A cluster of blood red rose petals dribbling with Amontillado, clove-scorched dragon’s blood resin, incense smoke, myrrh resin, and tabac.
-
Leatherbound tomes and rose cream, flickering flames of twin ambers, and a cascade of shadows: black oud, teakwood, black beeswax, 13-year aged patchouli, cinnabar, balsam, sweet labdanum, tonka bean, and smoke.
-
Salt-spray dotting an azure cove, its waters swirling with noxious poisons and venom drawn from dreadful roots: a cascade of blackcurrant and crystalline blue-green waters infused with theriac accord, bruised henbane accord, white gardenia, pear, cedarwood, emerald mosses, tuberose, and bitter almond.
-
Milky-white plastic and a hollow gasp of candy-corn breath, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.
-
The blissful contentment of committing to exist in the moment: white sandalwood smoke, hinoki, white tea, and falling leaves.
-
A blend of five sugars and pumpkin pulp, lightly dusted with candied fruits and a dash of cinnamon.
-
A shroud of black agarwood, cypress, myrrh, and upturned earth, scattered with crushed lavender and creeping with moss-smothered stone.
-
Deep, rich, earthy notes swirled with vegetal musks, sugared vanilla bean, brown leather, and dark spices.
-
Rage and bloody exultation dissolving into divine stillness: white sandalwood, palo santo, rosewood, and lavender.
-
Strangely sinister frumenty: oatmeal, heavy cream, butter, salt, and a whiff of brimstone.
-
Lustrous maraschino cherry fangs illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.
-
Pumpkin puree whipped into thick folds of buttercream

Sugared lemon and sour lime. Oh HALLO LEMON. This is all lemon and sugary lime. It's ultra lemony, and ultra limey. The closest equivalent being Lemon Scented Sticky Bat, but that has fur, and the lemon dissipates. In this one, lemon is here and in your face. NUCLEAR LEMON. Great throw on wet, but medium throw as it dries. Average wear length. Because citrus. But hey, if you like sugary lemons blends, give this a whirl.

A plastic cauldron filled with green tea-infused white chocolate, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.

[No additional description provided.] So again, on wet, the pumpkin reigns supreme and I can smell a whiff of light chypre. As it dries, the pumpkin recedes to the background, and you get this light perfumey citrus chypre. It's very gender neutral, and honestly makes me think of sunlight through fall leaves. Bright, autumnal, cheery. Very atmospheric. This is for when every day is Halloween. Even if you have to go to work, in an office. Oh, and it's summer. Medium throw and wear length.

Once the grand foyer’s elegant centerpiece, now its winding curves creak treacherously, the handrail dull and splintered under decades of dust: fossilized amber crackling over dry oak.
-
A gentle, stirring, eloquent perfume.

Thanks to a very generous forumite who let me swap for a decant of this in my neverending quest of test all BPAL. Wobanakik starts off with a heavy, green plant smell. It reminded me to Planting Moon, with the heavy sweet aquatic smell that Water Phoenix/Hatmehit had. It dried however to a green, slightly resinous amber sort of drydown although very faint on my skin. Pretty, but not for me given the fact that my skin likes to EAT this. One hour later, and its gone.

[No additional description provided.] Strong clean patchouli with cedar notes. I get a whiff of something powdery. There is something turbulent hiding underneath. Good throw and wear length.
