I have been going through my collection of frimps and I have found what I suspect is the 2018 version. I was looking for something else to test and on a whim grabbed this in my handful. I suspect I might have hid this one from myself, lavender is one of my very favorite notes, and as this has been a very limited drop, I bet I was trying to avoid heartbreak. And heartbreak it is! This is soft and gentle and layered. Close to the nose I get a subtle sweetness, but the sage and lavender fall in subtlety sweetened clouds around me. Warm and cozy. Absolutely the vibe I have been needing recently.

I needed a boost today for somewhat obvious reasons and I found myself reaching for this one. While I started my day with doom scrolling and full of anxiety, by the end I giggled and danced with friends. This blend definitely helped me find some much needed space internally to refind my mental balance and emotional footing.

Like the other reviewers have mentioned this is warm and dry on my skin. I get kind of an oddly muted green note, which I think might be the way I'm interpreting the oolong tea. I really like it, it sort of evokes the sense of warming cold extremities in the winter time, kind of biting and harsh but welcoming all the same.

This scent has the same vibe as Dee to me. Not necessarily the same notes but the soft way it lingers around the edges of my senses. I get clouds of soft incense smoke, beeswax and the feelings of books. Beautiful.

This blend is very subtle, makes me shove my wrist under my nose to get a whiff. It's warm and soft, and evokes a sense of sun baked fur

Recently received this as a frimp from an order from the lab! This smells exactly like my grandmother's bathroom. Maybe it's her perfume or soap or something else but it's a slightly sweet floral with a lot of powder. Not for me!

This one was a surprise to me! When first applying my initial thought was that it smelled like very expensive laundry detergent. I feel like I smell very clean, and there's only a little hint of something rumbling underneath.

Well that is a gigantic bummer! Thank you for the assist in the search.

Did Sacred Whore of Babylon get Discontinued? I searched for it on the site but couldnt find it

After a long break from the world of bpal I'm trying to go through my collection and mark my reviews down for my posterity! The Coiled Serpent is one of my favorites. I'm a huge patch fan anyway and this oil has a version of patch that feels uniquely dry. Beneath the very loud patch are some resins, and cedar, so it sort of ends up smelling a bit like a a yoga studio with the windows open in a summery cedar forest. I wear it when I need to feel calm and focused.

I am not a florals type person. I love resins and patchouli and vetiver. However I am trying to branch out to new horizons, and try what Im frimped no matter what. That being said, I kind of hate this. Its very sweet and powdery and floral and I imagine my grandmas carpet to smell like this. If you like delicate sweet florals, then this is for you! Enjoy!

I got this in the mail today and I couldn't help myself, I immediately tested it. It's amazing. It's like a resin incense layered over patchouli root pulled from the soil with earth still clinging to it. I manage a Garden center that by virtue of being attached to a local farmers market is allowed to be open. Almost all the other garden centers around us in PA are closed. This makes the run up to mothers day especially stressful. All of this to say that my shoulders actually relaxed when I first applied this blend. I took a more grounded breath. It was freeing. Should a full days test prove to be much the same, I'll have to restrain myself from ceremoniously dumping the whole vial over my head and rubbing it into my pores. I need this in my life, and may need to get a back up bottle.

For me this has a light coconuty-lime hint at the beginning. I dont get much coffee at all, but then a light vanilla wool comes in and steals the show. Its like a sunny morning in a breakfast nook with your favorite sweater. I really like it, and Im not one for soft scents usually.

I received my decant of this yesterday, but life got a little funky and I hadn't even touched the package. Fast forward to about ten minutes ago when I thought stupidly to myself: let's test one with breakfast! This is the one I was most intrigued by and so I grabbed it first. Immediate regret. The scent is all honeysuckle in the beginning, incredibly potent and strong. And not a good mix with buttered toast and strawberry yogurt. It's the kind of smell you can taste and by the gods I can taste it. After about 15 or so minutes (not actually counting) it does have the patch come out to play and it helps mellow out the incredible honeysuckle. I would never choose to have breakfast inside of a honeysuckle patch, and yet after today I feel I can truly speak to that experience. 10/10 do not wear while eating toast.

I bought this from another forum member, kind of on a impulse, its birthday buy. Boy am I glad I did. In the bottle its a little off putting, there's a sharp almost chemical smell to it. But on my skin, it blooms into this gorgeous complex scent. At first the leather is very predominant, and it is very much the riding crop leather as a previous reviewer mentioned. However, the cognac, incense and plum come to the forefront and help soften the leather and they meld into a very warm, almost cuddly sort of scent. Like a lady who has come home from a fancy event and just changed into her robe. I love it!
