  1. tbh, could swap away most of my collection to wear just this for the rest of time. i adore jareth- he’s a sexy gleaming tan leather jacket worn by a tall stranger with long hair. Said stranger wears a lot of very expensive musky cologne, and keeps themselves very groomed. It’s also something i wear to sleep in, and it’s so comforting and relaxing at night. Jareth serves two roles for me, and i love him for it. 


  2. This is sexy slinky deep purple incense, smoking near silks and laces, while an elegant victorian woman bathes herself in the casting light of a flickering candle. Her perfume is what I assume the ambre noir is, a kind of skin-warmed musk?? The black velvet patch almost has a “crushed” quality to it. It gives the perfume an overall complexity, when combined with the musk. This is grown up and sexy, though this does not smell like snake oil, it is my snake oil. I wear this to smell sexy and dark. 

     

    edit: its not overly sweet, but it is definitely flirtatiously sweet. 


  3. 2010 version! Wet it’s all Buttery-sweet candy corn, something almost slightly salty- Under a shivering linen blanket. This is SO evocative of halloween. Dried and worn for a couple of hours, It really is like an eerie spun sugar/ floaty marshmallow smell, ethereal and spinning around you while black cats dance in and out of your vision. I wore this all day today and it’s literally felt so much like an autumn day during october that i keep shivering and tonight my partner and i are going to watch a horror movie. i love this and will treasure it forever…


  4. Mmmh. Pink pink pink pinky pink. Pink marshmallows and pink roses with pink sugar and maybe even a dollop of pink whipped cream. I am never not slathered in oil- body, hair, clothes and linens, all of it is covered in BPAL smellz- and this has been the #1 recently. it’s really, really good. I too need several backups- it’s just that damn good. I can’t wait for my hair to get down to my mid-back- imagine 3 feet of curly black hair scented like lovely marshmallows and roses….. now i’m rambling. 

     

    Get this: If u like SWEET, PINK, ROSE. 

    Sillage: Strong- people smell it from feet away from you.

    Longevity: 7-8 ish hours? It clings to clothes and sheets much longer.


  5. Mmm yeah. Imagine if Dorian grew up, got a beard on him, ran away from his royal duties and joined a rugged band of pirates. A touch sweet, a touch woody and salty, a touch sexy from the musk and rum. It’s sex appeal in a bottle. I think it’s rather gender neutral, but i’m also very flexible about that stuff. 

     

    sillage: medium. it’s not overbearing but it’s definitely noticeable from at least a few feet away.

    longevity: 7/10 lasted about 6-7 hours on me- but this is brand new and out of the mail, so take this with a dash of salt.

     


  6. This one loved me at first. I put it on and literally thought “ooh bread!” HOWEVER. It has since been like 9 months since that fateful incident- and i’m on new birth control, so my hormones are all flipped out or something. I put this on yesterday and immediately had to get in the shower because…. this smells like a disgusting pissy bar bathroom on me. It could be the combo of the honey and mushrooms :( ymmv so don’t be afraid- unless we’re taking the same meds, in which case never put this on your skin ever. 


  7. Sexiest little ghost in this haunted attic! Nothing here is overtly plastic, in case you were worried about that coming and squashing your fun. Sweet, clean, a little milky. I will definitely agree that there is something nostalgic about it- not for halloween specifically for me, because that’s the smell of cigarettes, mosquito spray, caramel apples, melted candies, chlorine and hot sweaty night air (Florida is still sometimes in the 80s in October. even at night) But this IS youthful and yummy. Not infantile- its powdery but not “baby powder-y”. It’s backup bottle worthy for sure- something i’ll  wear constantly. The hype is true people.


  8. Hahah- this smells like an Older Hollywood Babylon on my skin. Oh thank GOD. I love it- it’s so much deeper, richer, and more incensey, less of that girlish pink candy thing that ended up making me feel like i was PINK all caps when i was wearing hollywood babylon.

    it’s probably because they both have that addictive BPAL red musk but this one has a more adult kick due to the tobacco black orchid and other resins. 


  9. Ephemeral ghostly lavender grounded in a slightly salty musk, sprinkled with beautiful white tobacco flower petals, with the smallest touch of warm, non-indolic oud to keep things complex and inviting. I agree that i sometimes get a little vanilla, perhaps also maybe a teensy bit of the bpal snow or slush notes? i’m getting like… “cold water/air” sometimes, which i also get when i smell true slush or ice notes from the lab. This perfume is definitely ethereal, glimmering, a bit sheer, definitely cold or icy.

    A new favourite -definite backup bottles in my future.

     

    rating: 10/10. unique, compelling, but also comforting.

    Sillage: Medium. My friends could smell me from a few feet away but definitely noticed it more when they got closer (according to them) 

    Lasted: 10 hours. it’s still on my sheets too!


  10. This luper order has been my most successful order so far. Also- Ooh wow I’m the first review!!! ok so i really love this. Definitely strong on the woody patchouli. The vanilla amber and honey are missing for me until about the 2 hour mark, up until which the general vibes was an expensive smelling patchouli. but then!!!! The amber and vanilla slink in slowly.  They’re subtle now but i’m assuming that the vanilla amber and honey will, when given time to blossom, quit being so damn shy! 


    Lasts: 8 ish hours 

    Overall rating: 7/10 at the moment but subject to improvement or devastation. 

    Sillage: strong actually- i had my eye doctor ask what i was wearing! 


  11. Mmmmmmmm Creamy sexy vanilla with a woody base to keep it from landing too much in icecreamsville. It’s definitely sweet but the wood grounds it perfectly- this IS “hoard-worthy obsession-level my-heart-only beats-for-Thee” kind of perfume. It smells expensive, it’s sexy and comforting, and my god it LASTS. I put some on around 10 PM last night and its still here well over 14 hours later. I smell incredible.

     


  12. This is really really lovely. It’s definitely A sheer purple and black perfume- perhaps a dash of red like a bruise. The lavender is present but very docile on me. She bats her eyelashes coyly and slinks around her partners- an ephemeral glimmering opium tar, the strong sensual blood musk, patchouli that may only be described as smelling “expensive” and the black orchid- who lends a much needed floral lilt on the trail end of things. These 5 are all key players in bed. I want to Do me. 

     

    I’d say I’m speechless, but clearly I’m not as I’ve waxed poetic here. This is an almost penitent sexy. Something reserved and very designer- refined, but also so sexy and vampish. Heart eyes, Swoon, Sigh. 


  13. “Oh did you want a beautiful gentle rose and sandalwood? You wanted to smell delicate and pretty? Well you’re getting wood polish and sickening rose scented bathroom freshener” -my skin, about 15 minutes into wearing this. I had to scrub it :(  The opening was quite pretty however, and it smells lovely on my mom so its a skin chem issue.


  14. this is a very complex blend- that being said i love it!! Definitely echo the “antique store” vibes, its very herbaceous and heavy on the patchouli. Very spice-y but not resinous ? This perfectly captures the folklore


  15. Sweet gentle incense, clean laundry, and vetiver. it smells like my older sisters house which makes lots of sense as she’s a clean freak with about a thousand wood-adjacent candles. I do find it a bit cocoa-ish after it’s dried down. I like it but not enough for a full bottle. 


  16. Mmmm. Vaguely coconutty beeswax with just a tiny dollop of smoke or perhaps even soap. this has a very weirdly luxury feel to it. it’s a very clean-skin kind of smell. the dry down smells exactly as it does in the vial. I may consider getting a bottle of this, as it’s so gentle and yummy i could probably use it as a bed-time scent or for when i’m around my parents (who think the only good smells are floral and soap) 


  17. Gentle floral with lovely tea notes and definitely something a little bit spicy…. probably the carnation. It’s definitely rose-forward, which i love because i’m team “rose-lover”. It’s certainly a youthful scent, something appropriate for an office in the daytime or a woman dressed in a white cotton billowy dress with long loose curls. Not a bottle for me, but definitely a bottle for my mom, who adores it.


  18. This smells like warm blanket. Fresh out of the dryer, definitely a bit worn. Not cottony, not at all, I just mean that wearing this feels like being wrapped in a soft warm blanket. I think its the tonka and bergamot, both of which are central players on my skin. Really nice!!


  19. Mmmmm. I love snake oil in other blends, really truly LOVE it. I literally don’t even know what I’m supposed to be smelling right now. I get no vanilla, no deep musk, no patchouli….. just powder. baby powder but burnt… Thats just MY experience however, my boyfriend smelled it and said “Oh my god you smell sooooooo sexy” so clearly IM the problem 

     

    Edit to add: I have a very vintage bottle of this- so it’s not because of ageing or lackthereof! 


  20. Woawh…. floral. eugh! I know, I know, what was I expecting based on the description? I dunno! But not a weird Overly-heady screechy perfume with some kind of skanky stank underneath! Bummed but it actually smelled beautiful on my best friend, so it was absolutely just a skin chemistry thing lol.


  21. GRRRRR i need a full bottle of this :cry2:It’s such a lovely sexy cocoa scent. I could smell like this forever and die happy. Its like Bliss but has a different heart note. Like Bliss’s older sister.
