    The Storyteller's Parlor Atmosphere Spray

    heady and heavy like a hunting lodge, musky and old smoke and brandy too closed in a butch for me

    Inextinguishable Hatred

    oh dear god. i've tied BPAL that I haven't liked before, but words cannot describe how awful this is. I really tried to describe it when I put it on my skin, but I was almost gagging brown, decayed, mildew,... ug

    The Hell of Great Heat

    wow - that's some strong cinnamon. reminds me Uranus. there something black in there, and (now that I saw someone else mention it) Coke. but mainly cinnamon I do think I'm getting little hints of the incense notes, but if I didn't know to "look" for them I might not be... it's not totally overpowering, but too strong of a candy-cinnamon for me *edit it fades down a lot after about 30 minutes. I can tell there are other notes besides cinnamon now, but I can't pick them out individually; the cinnamon is a bit sweeter/lighter but now the whol thing is very close to teh skin

    A Dreary Night of November

    I get lots of white sandalwood, keep sniffing, and there's vetiver and a bit of clove it's really nice and smooth; one of the smoothest, softest vetiver scents I've tried I can't pick out the other notes separately, except maybe some beeswax off and on (the clove has disappeared into thebackground), but it's a gorgeous mix that's not too overwhelming it's both light and dark

    Dragon's Eye

    the DB is very nice. The rest of the florals turn a bit salty. Not quite like Dragon's Tears though - not that salty. more of a sharpness. not overpowering, but I prefer my DB tempered with something like musk or leather or sandalwood.

    Leather Phoenix

    first let me say that I bought three (3) bottles of this and they are all the same I get absolutely NO leather in the bottle or on my skin, and the dreaded ROSE has taken over I'm leaving it on for now (bracing myself for the Rose-headache) just in case it changes....but I'm not hopeful. Rose wins 99.9% of the time it goes a pit Pinesol for about 5-10 minutes, then soapy for 5-10 minutes - then back to Rose with a hint of incense ** and it fades down a LOT in 2 hrs...just rose on my skin and maybe a hint of incense...and almost disappears an hour or two after that (just a hint of rose on my skin) NO LEATHER

    TCM2

    I wish I got all that in mine in the bottle - opium, resins, and slightly cologne-y on my skin - very faint and a bit more biting/sharp....then it turns to a sweet floral that's very clean....and underneath bit of vetiver *sigh* not what I was wanting

    Ded Moroz

    this is the ONLY rose scent so far that I can wear. Normally, I amp it so much it gives me a splitting headache. Here it's so soft and subtle and nice...but there's still a "bite" in my nose to smell it it doesn't really smell "floral" or "herby" on me...but something in between and I can't pick out any other notes specifically

    NGPR2

    in the imp I smell sweet tarts on my skin, I get sweet tarts and musky incense. the sweet tarts goes away VERY quickly (just a few minutes), leaving a nice soft vetiver (not overwhelming like in some other blends) tempered with pencil shavings lol and an incense note and maybe a hint of wood...I'm not sure they would have come to mind without seeing ZZ's post...but after reading it, I can kinda pick them out underneath the vetiver and pencil shavings

    XNIA2

    Very light and sweet - Floral! almost a fruit note to it as well. I also picking up one of the labs lighter Rose notes (which always are bad on me) very much like one of the lighter Last Unicorn scents... I don't get any earthy or patchouli

    Thunder and Blazes

    I was hoping for more leather sadly, what I got was a wet scent that smells of mildew. there's leather there, but it smells like mildewed leather...even washing it off I smell like I'm moldy edit* I washed this off...but the smell didn't go away. In fact, HOURS later (6+) I can still smell it. There's a bit more leather, but it's still moldy mildewed

    Le Lèthè

    at first it's all black orchid and red musk - purpley and hazy - yay! then pretty quickly the golden notes and nutmeg come out and really turn this "foody" on me. I smell yummy - but I don't like to smell like food lol almost a gingerbread-like smell

    Kathmandu

    it smells like Vix vapor rub only slightly "lighter" (probably the lotus)

    UOH2

    definitely similar to BB, but it's (thankfully) is not quite as "vicks-rub" - there's still a hint of it, that must be the hemp b/c I *do* get "hemp" smell as well, that seems mixed in the vanilla is a much more mellow sweetness than BB, and it becomes more and more dominant as the hemp and patchouli give way. it's creamy vanilla but the other notes don't disappear, they just move to the background so you smell the vanilla *then* the hemp and patchouli. I like this much more than BB

    Banshee Beat

    a touch of sweetness from the vanilla and hemp. it's almost like eucalyptus or vicks or something. medical-rub meets hemp. there's some earthy patchouli too, but it's hard to distinguish it from the hemp. the "mediciney" quality grows - not what I want to smell like the patchouli comes out more too, overall this is a strong scent - you better like the notes

    SDPU1

    LOL you're going to laugh - really! it smells like BUTTERED POPCORN buttered popcorn with a bit of cinnamon definitely a FOODY scent!

    TALVIKUV

    BPAL's etsy page said this was a DD from 2005. Hopefully I'm not duplicating a post, but I checked all over... It's hard to tell exactly what it smells like in the bottle, but on my skin I get "pinesol clean". Very citrus and astringent. Even washing if off doesn't actually wash it off and I still smell like pinesol

    Nepthys v2

    super faint! really, really hard to smell it, even with nose to wrist. I definitely get a tinge of something brown, maybe woodsey, but it's just too faint to tell. the notes are soft though - not harsh or sharp. it's a bit like insence and there's a "brown" note in there.
  23. blue and soft with a hint of something lighter and almost tangy sweet, yet white. this becomes stronger and I can tell it's a floral. it's not bad, but it's too white and clean for me..though the blue musk makes it quite nice
  24. I was looking forward to this scent from the set more than any other. It finally arrives, I put it on my skin, and soap. all I get is soap. whenever a bpal scent goes soapy on me I attribute it to my skin chemistry, but that also means it's not a keeper.

    Champagne And Opium

    VERY strong champagne and heavy opium - you really need to like both notes to like this and it BURNS my skin!!!! *flails* instant reaction I washed it off immediately and my skin still burned for another hour
