    Hyakki Yagyō

    My favorite of all BPALs I've ordered. I have only a dribble left, & have retired it to a special box for keepsake. Smells divine. Strong cloves, & hearty coconut are the first impression, then slowly musk & champaca. It turns almost incense-like on my skin with a loud clove top. Musky, warm, green & black colors come to mind when I smell it. If anyone has a bottle please contact me. I would love to buy it. 💖

    Sweet Patchouli, Labdanum & Ylang Ylang

    So simple, yet complex, & smells like a designer perfume. The Ylang -Ylang plays so well with the Sweet Patchouli, adding more sweetness & depth, while the Labdanum adds some powdery dimension. Fresh & clean, almost smells like an old time aftershave too. I'm in love with this one.

    Wicked

    This is a strong one. I get jasmine & rose first, then followed by myrrh. It has a green smell to it as well. Think I'll wear this during late Summer or Fall.

    Evil

    Fell in love with the imps so I got a full bottle. The opium tar, kush, & ambrette seed is what I get most. Such a delicate, yet imposing scent. I do feel like an evil Queen in a tower, or a witch from a fairy tale wearing this.

    #20 Love Oil

    Definitely herbal, & green. That is totally my thing. haha These kinds of scents tend to mellow out softly with my skin chemistry. I think I smell Lemongrass. & possibly ylang ylang. Not too sure on that, but that's what I get. It's bright, camphorous, & clean.

    All Night Long

    I get Red Hots candies right out of the bottle. So much so that I was afraid to put it on, also seeing someone said it irritated their skin. But it fairs well on me. Right before the cinnamon gets too strong it falls back, & I smell some kind of floral in there. An arousing scent for sure.

    Hope

    I've not encountered this kind of rose before. Unlike "Faith" I'm not picking up much sugar. It is there but it is faint. This smells like a waxy kind of rose to me. I think I'll use this one for layering.

    Faith

    Smells exactly like sugar coated violets. I see them in my head when I take a sniff; chunky sugar crystals on soft violet petals. The sugar note smells like delicious rock candy & that impresses me that scent can be captured.

    Maenad

    This one smells so mouthwatering. It's super sweet strawberry, orange blossom, & hibiscus at first. I think the black poppy is also giving it that uniqueness. Smells like those Easter Egg candies that are made practically of pure sugar. This should be an atmosphere spray!

    'Tis Not Madness

    This is such a lovely scent. Reminds me of something I've smelled at some point in childhood & it stuck with me. Maybe a perfume someone wore. I'm head over heels for this one. It's sweet, & slightly floral. Even my wife loves to wear it.

    Shanghai

    Received as an imp. Super clean smelling green tea, with lemon verbena, & the lovely honeysuckle as a final impression. A unisex scent I think I would wear during the Summer.

    White Rabbit

    Received as an imp. It smells so yummy. At first I smell tea, but then it blossoms into vanilla, milk, ginger, & honey with crisp linen. Complex, delicate, a bit of heaven.

    The Jersey Devil

    Received as an imp. Woody & fruity. That is a really great combo. Smells like a candle I bought at some point in time. When it mellows it smells of cedarwood, & blackberry. The tomato leaf is something new to me. Gonna add this to my shopping list!

    Ode on Melancholy

    Received as an imp. I figured the ingredients would make this a floral, feminine smell. But it actually smells like a men's cologne. It has a clean green smell to it that is fresh & airy.

    Nosferatu

    Received as an imp. I compared this to "Nosferstu" by Black Baccara perfume oils. This one is a lot lighter, & I love the earth smell in it. The wine is just right, & the roses aren't deathly strong either. I prefer this blend, honestly. It's fun!

    Blood Amber

    Received as an imp. It has a spiciness to it that reminds me of cinnamon. When it mellows out it is a simple amber.

    Zephyr

    Received as an imp. It smells soft, & girly on me. It's complex. In the bottle it is lemony. On my skin it turns into a gentle floral musk. Definitely a springtime scent.

    Haunted

    Received as an imp. Plan to buy a full bottle next purchase. It is so simple, yet elegant. Smells like powdery flat soda, in a good way. The musk has a sharpness to it that I love.

    Queen Butterfly

    I have very little left of this, & it breaks my heart. I get orange blossom & sweet patchouli warmed by amber, in the bottle & on skin. I hope that this scent is recreated again one day, & wish I would have bought at least 2 bottles.

    A Dark Lantern Atmosphere Spray

    For me it smells powdery, not like baby powder, but I'm guessing it is the musk & amber. Don't pick up much of anything else, but I'm still in love with this scent.

    The Emerald Kaya Atmosphere Spray

    This is bringing back memories of the first time I visited the Purple People's stall at Turkey Trot. They sold handmade incense, burners, jewellery, & oil blends. So this is a really good memory taking me back at least 25 years ago! The champaca & hemp are a bang combo. Smells like heavy incense.

    Mouse's Long and Sad Tale

    This scent is very warm on me. The vanilla amps up the amber. & I love the gentleness of the sweet pea, & how it seems to float out as the last note. It's a dopey blend that, like TKO, makes me sleepy or want to cuddle up with a blanket & a book. A Spring favorite, but I also see myself wearing it during the beginning of Winter too.

    There Is No Bliss Like This

    A new go to favorite for me. In the bottle I smell the clove & cinnamon immediately. Reminds me of some tea bags my wife uses. After it dries the ylang ylang, carnation & patchouli come out more.

    I Wish I Were Your Mirror

    This is such a peaceful scent. On top I get the lily water, myrrh, & gentle cardamom. Dryer I start to smell the sand & reed. It's kind of playful, & comforting. But mostly it is a myrrh scent on me, & I love it so much! Can't get enough of it.

    The Catholic

    The ozone really compliments the incense notes. I do get that frankincense, but perhaps the ozone is giving it that warmth or spice I sometimes get a whiff of. Mmm that ozone note takes me to another dimension.
