I got this as a blind bottle. And tested it thinking I was disappointed. But I keep reaching for it!! A beautiful dark Pom, with a deep sweetness of resin, a bare touch of florals that fade pretty quickly and then a dry down of a deep red amber with hints if dark juicy goodness, I am in love!

This is the BEST thing I have ever smelled in my entire life!! My bpal signature scent! I can't convey how much I can gush about this!!!

Opening when wet, dark, sticky am er. Amber the resin, no powder, deep gold amber. Then the patchouli comes rolling in. Making the amber dark and sexy, I know the patch is supposed to be red but it smells like the patchouli in feed me and fill me, but a tad softer.

The golden musk swirls through these two spiraling the amber and patch closer together. With the cardamom just a slight spice to the tempo.

As it dries the scents dance closer and loser until I can't pick one out, I just get the most SEXY dark velvety amber I have ever smelled! Sweet, rich, dark and powerful.

This is the BEST bpal blend ever and I am desperate for more, hoard worthy, more then hoard worthy! I am officially crazy obsessed!!

Fresh from the mail and on my wrist because I have been the most excited about this blend!!

It is DARK!!

First thing I get is a strong tobacco, like the single note but with dark layers underneath. Next is the patch, but a soft version like the black patchouli, adding a depth and dark earth note to the sweet tobacco.

The oppopanax has a very murky black ink feel. Like dark enchanted pools that you can't see but that cloud the world with an ominous feel.

This is the darkest most goth scent I have. A perfect Halloween scent! Mysterious and other worldly! I am in love!! It would be amazing in a BAD boy, and stunning on a girl who likes to walk the dark side of the edge!!

I have wanted the bath oil for awhile now! And finally succumbed! The scent is light but there floating around you, it absorbs easily into my skin after a shower and make me all soft and velvety! I have dreads also and have been using it in my dreads for scent.

It's just wonderful! And the shipping and service was awesome! I am already looking through to see what I can order next<3

I immediately ordered September midnights, the phobia that began with an 'A', hope and fear, and so below:))

I just couldn't wait to try them!

After reading reviews I am wondering about the October scent and pumpkin patches:)))

I had la Mano on my list and happened to find it at the will call, as a leftover:) SCORE!

I like patchouli but am very picky about it. I don't like sharp super hippie patch, I like deep, sweet, smooth patch. And la Mano is perfect!

The initial scent is a strong patch, very occupy styled, but where occupy stayed dirty hippie, la Mano settles very quickly! The patch immediately quiets down and smooths out. I can smell the cocoa and tabacco when I try but, really they blend together so seamlessly I am just wafting a dark sweet mellow patch. Like an exoctic hippie lounging in a beatnick jazz club, letting the smooth music make her sweeter as time goes on.

This is a GREAT scent! It's what I was wanting from feed me and fill me, it's a stronger more edgy banshee beat, and a scent that will layer wonderfully with vanilla and honey scents!

So happy I found it!

White Peacock:

Teak, ebony wood, osmanthus, patchouli, red sandalwood, vanilla orchid, tonka bean, tobacco, wild musk, spikenard, and sugandh kokila.

Why don't I have this?!!! *face palm* NEEEEEEED!! Sigh, off to scour the board:/

If you can get variety, try that!! And if you don't like it pass it my way;D

The tobacco is my favorite!! And my favorite of them in order is:

Variety of pleasing amusements

Autumn lace

Perversion

Le Lethe

Havana

I like the others mentioned but these are deep girl tobacco to me:)

So, I am not a perfume fan and I tend to be a monogamous shopper. But I stumbled across a perfume company called Imaginary Authors, they have some AMAZING scents!!

I am hoping people have tried them and can point to some BPAL relatives, especially for the perfumes 'Bull's Blood' and 'Falling into the Sea'))

Le Lethe sounds exactly like what you described!!

Any others that are like the bard 'Liadain'?

Bumping this in hopes of finding more:)

I am looking for a bright salty beach, sunny, with an undertone of sweet thick florals, maybe white?

I know lots of scents have come our since the last post, hoping to find more to look for:))

Temple dreams eh? Me needs to try!! Cause everything else is more herbal and green but not basil with the sweet green spice.

I have now tried most of these and still am not getting the right vibe.

It sunny, bright, salt water, and the floral is killing me cause I could almost remember what it was, maybe a white floral, sweet and a little deep.

Maybe gardenia or Lilly of the valley? In the tone?

I just tried pele, it's not it:( this is more salty beach florals with a REALLY interesting floral note that I can't put my finger on, Lilly? Not rose or neroli,

This is my first hair gloss and I think I am now addicted!! I love this! And having dreads with wool dread accents makes it even better cause the scent last for days! Literally days!! Even when washing I can smell it!

It is a strong girly honey! Bright with a clean floral undertone to me. And it wafts all over the place!

I am hooked, now I need more hair gloss!

Wanted to add that I went through my imps and tried 51 and it seems close, at least the same feel, lilu had a floral in it that was awesome, but 51 is close:)

So my husband fell in love with this perfume over the weekend called lilu, by pacsun. And I didn't hate it, which is rare for scents he likes.

I can't find the scent notes, but it was a cheery bright, zesty floral aquatic. It was happy and very girly, young. People say Hawaii, beachy. Something a beach blonde surf girl would wear in high school in the tropics.

Anyone know this scent and can help me find a bpal equivilant?

Mod? Should this be merged with the beach ocean thread? Or the perfume thread? Sorry, didn't realize there were topics like this:/

Just got my haute macabre and holy crap if this isn't a fetush scent, black leather scent, then nothing is!

 

I have ordered that too! Are there any reviews up yet, or could you do one? I might have to order more in the summer then!

 

 

Thanks for the recs everyone

I get strong almost over powering black leather with almond sweetness underneath. This is a knock you out take no prisoners scent:)

I love the dry down, the leather has finally softened, the almond is gone, now a sweet soft spicy black leather.

So, I wanted to love this. I STILL want to love this, I SHOULD love this! It has all my favorite scents, but when I put it on (and I have tried several times now hoping for a different result) I smell manure.

I lived in Ohio, there is a type of fermented cow manure that they spread early spring in the corn fields. It's THAT manure, pungent, overpowering, earthy, bitter, and rank:/

It must be the patchouli but all my other patch blends, even my occupy don't have this note on me, so I am not sure, but whatever it is I amp it like crazy:((((

Banshee beat is my favorite scent, I was SO hopeful with this blend, it was the only luper I HAD to have. I am gonna hold into it and hope aging takes the poop stank out of my bottle:/

Really, Shub-Niggaruth is the most ginger-cookie scent I've smelled from BPAL. And to make it better, it's GC and impable.

Agreed! And it also gets better with aging!

I don't do cinnamon either:/

Bastet is a definite, haute macabre is total kick ass if you have it:))

Vixen is all crazy girl power for me, bow and crown is comforting power, interfector is dark dont mess with me,

Been having fun reading this, got myself some Liz and now , yessssss, get some Liz!! Mmmmmm:)))

Antikythera Mechanism, most obviously when aged.

Got me a bottle and so glad I did! This is stunning! I get very little tobacco, more leather wood a d vanilla but it is an awesome scent!

Still hoping for a tobacco like in variety of pleasing amusements:))
