    Burying Point Hair Gloss

    Damp clusters of brown patchouli, dried maple leaves, black sage, spikenard, and curled, misshapen mandrake roots. Sage, mandrake, and patchouli with a whiff of maple leaves. This one reminds me to damp autumn earth. Fair bit of green sage in this. Good throw and wear length. Spooky, autumn, dirt.

    Brangwy

    Blackcurrant and cardamom with peru balsam, patchouli, leather, and oudh. Leather, patchouli and oudh, with touches of cardamom. This one is mainly a warm, leathery blend. Mainly masculine veering toward gender neutral. There's something deeply approachable about this blend. Good throw and wear length.

    The Queen of Hel

    “I am Hel,” she said simply. “The dead come to me, and they do not return to the lands above. Why should I let Balder go?” – Norse Mythology, Neil Gaiman Lilith loves cosplaying, and while she has done many characters, none has suited her quite as well as Hela has. She debuted this look at C2E2 this year, complete with tiny plush Fenris. Tiny mistress of the underworld: gleaming black leather, luminescent green amber, and gargantuan hellhound musk. This smells like soft brown leather, tinges of amber and musk. But yeah, soft feminine leather like in Heroine. Medium throw and wear length.

    Carry Me

    Carrying Lilith on my shoulders has become an inside joke for us. She will say “Carry me!”, and I will say “Boy, are you lazy!” – and her response is always, “It’s your fault because you carry me all the time.” I have carried her on my shoulders through Atlanta, Chicago, New Orleans, Portland, Seattle, New York, DC, Baltimore, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Yosemite, Mammoth, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Salzburg, Frankfurt, Mexico City, Havana… I have carried her for her whole life, and I will carry her for as long as I am able. When my shoulders cannot carry her anymore, my heart still will. Vanilla cookies and a splash of lavender fougere.  So, I chose Carry Me to be my 5000th BPAL unique BPAL I've tried. And I think its the appropriate choice. Carry Me is a soft lavender musk with a hint of vanilla. It's soft, sweet, and nostalgic. It's clearly meant to be a comforting scent, and a loving one. Medium throw and wear length.
