    Persephone

    Rose always goes foul on my skin. In this blend, i get a powdery rose. No sight of pomegranate.

    Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat

    This reminds me A LOT of Bon Vivant, only instead of strawberry you get minty citrus champagne.

    The Zieba Tree

    Wet on my skin it smells like pickle juice. Then gradually it turns into something clean and soapy. This falls in the category of expensive floral soap scents.

    Jailbait

    Smells like a mix of Pink bubblegum and eucalyptus with the latter taking over and asserting its presence. Can't wrap my head around this unusual combo.

    Tweedledee

    Kumquat creamy popsicle/ bubblegum. Very girly and carefree

    Windward Passage

    The drydown reminds me the way sea shells smells, namely the texture of its outer layer. Windward Passge reminds me of another aquatic, The Deep Ones, only that WP is bit dryer.

    Anubis

    Anubis reminds me so much of Eastern Comma from the Metamorphosis 2014 line. Although there's no hay listed in notes, i smell it so clearly. This a standout oil in the BPAL fragrance family. Very unusual and a head turner for sure!

    Green Tree Viper

    2016 version: Freshly applied, i can pick up the Snake oil and then everything disappears on my skin. After 30 minutes i detect creamy vanilla and later on the bergamot comes out and surprisingly it reminds me vaguely of a Lemon Scented Sticky Bat. Very summery and light.

    Mother Ghost

    I smell tea leaf, which to my nose smells like white tea note. Then something airy and sweet comes into the picture. The drydown reminds me of an airy white tea-peach musk.

    International Shipping Info+Questions

    This is my first BPAL order since the increase in the shipping rates and suprisingly it was shipped via DHL (which is ) instead of USPS. This justifies the 34 USD shipping charge and at least i know DHL will deliver it to me unlike USPS shipments that get lost half of the time.

    Apples?? Finding the right apple scent

    Apple 2 from the Halloween 2015. It's the most summery scent of the all 2015 Halloween Apples

    Best masculine scents *from the last five years*?

    Philostratus’ Phoenix

    I swear there is a champaca resin in this blend, but turns out it's the orange blossom that renders a soapy vibe. All i get on my skin is incense, no honey, no vegetal musk, nothing.

    The Snow at Noon

    This is not full on snow note scent. It's lifespan is pretty short and i get a faint fir/camphor traces on a bed of minty elemi.

    Père Noël

    The opening greets me with a burst of juicy oranges, the same ones as in Eastern Comma. Then the lavender peeks out and the whole things dissipates to a comforting fruity sweetness. I was expecting more zest and zing and punch. This is to mellow for my taste.

    Halloween: San Francisco

    this reminds me a lot of Autumn Overlooked My Knitting, minus the red currant note. It has a cologne vibe, but doesn't last too long.

    Halloween: New Orleans

    It's one dense scent. It doesn't read airy at all to me. There's an unsettling note that messes up everything.

    Portrait of an Unidentified Man as Mephistopheles

    I get entirely nag champa cologne from this blends. Maybe it's the red musk to blame for the final outcome.

    Apple II

    It's a refreshing blend. The apple note reminds me of a ripe Granny Smith apple variety, complemented by the lemon peel and juniper berry. It turns gradually somewhat powdery and reminds me of an apple mash. The decant will suffice and i'm sure i'll put it to use in the summer.

    The Unquiet Grave

    from the start, i get the "chilly" accord, which reads like a faint snow note to my nose. Then gradually it opens up and i can discern the vanilla orchid and frankincense emerge. It reminds me of Venus Caelestis from Lupers 2015 minus the snow/chilly note. Would seem like a great scent during the spring/ summer time.

    Autumn Coolness

    2008 decant: it's totally different from the 2012 edition. I get a blast of cassia/ cinnamon and some sweet floral. It's a spicy floral. Wow!

    The Old Goblin

    A crown of hardened ice and polished fir-cones. Wet in the vial it smells sour, sharp and pine. I can detect under it all the snow note. Sharp pine and snow.
