We won’t ask what you use it for. Polished oak, vanilla husk, and cucumber juice.

A glopping blurp of viscera sloshing in a crystal sphere: creamy intraocular fluid, intestine-pink bois de rose and grapefruit, and coppery-clove blood musk encased in glassy transparent musk.
-
I guess we talk about blood a lot in our copy? Coppery, bloody blood and a squirt of lemon.
-
A vivacious squirt of decay: viscous blackcurrant juice and pomegranate rind with sweet labdanum, rose attar, and a thin splat of motor oil.

A boggy poot of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide accord (but easy on the methane!) steaming up a marsh puddle of Spanish moss, creeping swamp jasmine, swamp creature hooch, osmanthus, tupelo, bald cypress, and mud.

“Who is she? Who was she? Who does she hope to be?”
— Mart Crowley, The Boys in the Band (1968)
Spritz to imbue any resting place with the raffish charm and earthy mystique of a lost Twin, curbed Queen, or dethroned California King.
Dandelion sap, baby powder, ribgrass, spurge, and nutgrass squished into a poly cotton blend, poked by a rusty bonnell coil.

Weed-smoke and lime-tinged vapors rising from a cauldron of green slime, suspended by cracked leather straps above the heads of an unsuspecting audience.

A perfume for Asclepius, the God of Doctors, Inventor of Medicine, Master of the Art of Surgery, the Sagacious, Blameless Lord of Healing, Man’s Savior and Champion Against Diseases, and patron of the Asklepiades, the ancient guild of physicians. He is the son of Apollon, father to Chiron, Podalirus, and Machaon, and the greatest physician to ever have lived. It is said his skills were such that he was able to restore the dead to life.
Merciful Asclepius, wise and skilled God of the Medical Arts, purge our bodies of illness, injury, and pain. Grant us the wisdom of talented and compassionate physicians, the skill of master surgeons, the boon of healing medicines, and strength and wellness of body, mind, and spirit.

Drops of Amontillado smells like sweet sherry! Super grapey, for those who love the BPAL red wine note. Agree there's a musky woodiness behind this, something dry that tempers the sweetness.

A smoldering bundle of pine needles, bark, and resin with myrrh, frankincense, and burgundy pitch.Pine Smoke hair gloss is like a Christmas tree + church incense for my hair.
I was hoping it might have the same vibe as my beloved Frankincense and Pine Pitch atmo, and yes, it does. The ‘smoke’ element is not too strong, more of a suggestion than outright smoke. I’m glad for that, as I’m not sure I’d want my hair to smell overly smoky. Delightful!
-
Candy Canes, Powdered Sugar, Snickerdoodles, and Vanilla Cream hair gloss is like the smell wafting over from a table of holiday goodies. It does smell like angel food cake, plus a hint of mint and cinnamon. As this evolves in my hair, I catch moments where I smell the individual components—a snickerdoodle here, a candy cane there—but mostly this is just a happy wallow of treats that manages to truly not be too sweet, at least to me. As fun as I’d hoped it would be!

Ziegenkopf hair gloss is my favorite of the goaty hair glosses. The black amber, dark mosses, and clove combine to create something green, woodsy, mysterious, and very appealing. Even though there’s no carnation in here, the clove and moss together create a phantom note of carnation that makes this smell like a dark floral. Gorgeous.
-
Western Small Foot Bat hair gloss is a beautiful rose hair gloss! Creamy, sun-sweetened rose with a hint of patchouli. Very summery and well-blended, no edges on this one.
-
Southern Yellow Bat hair gloss is like an upscale gourmand pumpkin. The smoked pumpkin note here is very subtle/beautifully dosed, and in fact I get more of the sugared almond (smells like marzipan!). The patchouli and golden amber round this out and make it smell verrrry smooth. The longer I wear this in my hair, the more smoked pumpkin I get, but it remains very well balanced. The result is a hair gloss that smells gently seasonal but could also be worn all year long. I’ve worn it a few times and I like it more each time. So glad I picked this one up!
-
The Blue Window hair gloss has a gentle foundation of blue musk and orris blend, with pastel layers of blackcurrant and rose floating above it. I definitely get the blackcurrant and rose notes, but they are restrained. I wore this to work and could smell it all day, but I don’t think anyone else could detect it. Agree that this is for orris lovers! I think it would pair beautifully with Cabbage White or The Shield.
-
Endless Night bath oil is honeyed blackberry musk on me, with opium and bay leaf giving it depth and complexity. This would be a great nighttime bath soak or moisturizer, and would pair well with Lady Una, Bewitched, or Mummeries and Straining-to-be-Memorable Passages. I find it very relaxing.
-
The Violet Chamber atmo is gorgeous. Yes, 'perfumey' (orchid + oudh, I imagine) but in the best way. The fig is light here, and the pluot and bourbon geranium are also applied with a gentle hand. It comes across as a dusky, well-blended scent, and agree with z_z that this smells upscale. It's like a fruity floral for a Hitchcock blonde. I have a lilac-colored wool winter dress coat, and I'm going to lightly spritz the lining with this—and maybe also my sheets as well.
-
The Orange Chamber atmo is a total mood-lifter at this time of year because it smells like sunshine. Fresh, sweet orange (yum, mandarin and blood orange) and beautiful orange blossom team up for a bright, luscious ray of happiness. The leather and teakwood are very subtle, grounding those effervescent citrus and floral notes so they don't float away. It's really pretty and also super fresh, very energizing. I accidentally ordered two bottles and I don't regret it.

Incolumitas really is a comforting scent. Lavender, sage, patchouli, vanilla, and a smidge of honey are all present and detectible. Wet, the lavender wins and the other notes fall within its herbal hug. But as it dries down, the patchouli, vanilla, and sage claim snuggly prominence in this blend. The result is something herbal, gourmand, and musky-earthy-grounding. It does make me feel safe! It also makes me feel like I might be able to rest. I would totally buy a bottle of this if it were available! The smell of cozy, comfy, sleepy-beepy love.
-
Agree that the patchouli in Zoe and the Goat is reminiscent of the patch in Silkybat. On me, this is like a honeyed, golden Silkybat, almost like if Silkybat was dipped in Golden Syrup. I can also see comparisons to Goblin and Tricksy...that so many reviews are comparing this blend to beloved other BPAL blends says something alone. Definitely for lovers of patchouli and honey, this is smooth and sweet and creamy.

I love the perfume oil so much that I bought two bottles of the bath oil. And Serpentine bath oil is everything I dreamed of! I also use this as an after-shower moisturizer. It's lavender-forward, with the Dorian and snowdrops underneath, and downy soft, the equivalent of a pale lilac color. So relaxing and comforting. I'll enjoy using these bottles up this winter—it's perfect after a nighttime bath for a great night of sleep or a decadent start to a weekday.
