  1. This really did not impress in the imp: the coffee is incredibly sugary and sweet, which just isn't what I want to smell like at all.

     

    Well after the dry down, the library scent comes out to play, and that is intoxicating. I'm glad I didn't just write this one off: maybe an hour or two after application, the sweetness tones way down and I'm left with a (still somewhat sweet and coffee-like) cozy autumn library. Super evocative, super pleasant. 

     

    By the end of the day, I'm left with the faint, dusty-book scent I was hoping for all along. 

     

    I can put up with a couple hours of coffee first thing in the morning (does double duty as a wake-up scent!) in order for the rest of the day. Went ahead and got a full-size bottle.


  2. This is a very cold scent to me, and I don't pick up on the leather or coffee much at all, as some other reviewers mentioned. It does smell exactly like a classic men's cologne, which... does what it says on the tin, but probably won't do it much on my skin.

     

    After a few months, it has aged into something I like a little better, but of my full-size bottles, it's the last I reach for. Will try it out for a little while longer, but ultimately I guess I'm not a folksy FBI agent.


  3. Not especially villainous - I love this scent. One of two I ordered full-size after trying in the imps. I was honestly surprised that such a light scent would be so masculine, but it is. Definitely a springtime scent for me though, so it's sitting back for a few months.


  4. I had no idea what sort of scents I would like until a bored exploratory order earlier this year, but Jolly Roger immediately jumped out as one of my favorites and I took a gander and ordered this on Etsy as the descriptions sounded somewhat similar and I loved the name. It became my all-time favorite BPAL scent as soon as I opened the bottle, and I had to order a backup immediately. It is a little reminiscent of Jolly Roger - a lot of similar notes that work well on my skin - but a much gentler version. The earthiness makes it a wonderful fall/winter scent, but I may find myself gravitating back to Villain in the spring and Jolly Roger in the summer.
