    Laudanum

    Laudanum is my current favorite of all the scents created by BPAL. It is going to be hard for me to describe exactly why I like it, because it is just it's own experience to me, wearing this fragrance Well, I'll start by saying that I love the "medicinal" air that never leaves Laudanum's side. This.."medical note" is the most noticable note in the blend. It smells sort of like unglazed porcelain, yet there is a sort of spice to it. The fact that Laudanum has that medical attribute is rare in a perfume oil. I know that not everyone would agree, but I think that is very unfortunate Underneath the sweet hospital-smelling bite, there is a note that resembles latex. However, it is not unpleasant, only interesting. And there is the faintest trace of a very aged cologne in here somewhere. Laudanum is most definitely unisex, despite the faint cologne note mentioned. If you are not a fan of medicinal fragrance oils, you best pass Laudanum up. If you are just assuming you won't like them, however, then give it a try - it is very interesting indeed, which is a big part of what artisan perfumeries are all about!

    Crowley

    Ah, Crowley. This scent is truely a masterpiece. My sister (who is a drag king)'s signature scent is Crowley, and as one who sports a very fine tophat and tailcoat, each with their own gothic twists, it suits her well. Crowley is sort of hard to describe, in terms of individual notes. They blend together so perfectly that it is difficult to pick each of them out. However, this is not a bad thing by any means. The most identifiable notes in the blend, when it hits my nose, are the red patchoulli, the smokey notes, and then the fine lilac cologne. This end "whiff" of cologne really brings you into your own world, and it makes this fragrance quite like no other I have ever smelt before. Crowley is a cologne for sure. However, as I mentioned at the top, that doesn't mean it is only for men, of course Any gothic masculine type of person who wants to add an air of mystery to their outfit and aura would do well to get a bottle of Crowley

    The Robotic Scarab

    The description to the Robotic Scarab is, what I'd like to call, extremely accurate to the fragrance itself. The note which I notice the most, personally, is the star anise and the leather. The smell of wet brass (described as lubricating oils and small moving parts), is a very unique note in the blend which never fails to be noticed, no matter how faint it becomes. This fragrance, to me, smells like a spicy, unisex fragrance. However, it falls more on the cologne side. Think a steampunk, 'epic-ified' version of "old spice" cologne, and there we have Robotic Scarab.

    Smokestack

    Let me begin by saying that Smokestack is an amazing scent, and a very close friend of mine renowns it as their signature scent. It is definitely a cologne. Vetiver is it's most prominent note, but it is very imaginative and complex. Yes, it smells ashy and there is often a note of cola (like pepsi) at the end of the whiff, on occasion. However, somehow beyond logic, smokestack remains a very fine-smelling cologne. It smells like a very ritzy industrial waste plant indeed
