I wear this while reading Tarot. It feels, to me, to be in the same vein as the smell of Florida water. Crisp, bright and cleansing. This smells like the feeling of The Star card. It’s a little hard to describe

Everything I ever want from a goth-ier perfume. I do own Goth Queen & wear it occasionally but this one is truly my preferred blend when it comes to wearing dark blends. At the very top I get a metallic opium tar, then it unfurls into a softer myrrh with smoky labdanum and amber. I also detect a creamy dark orchid vanilla. Very intoxicating and richly resinous. Sillage: Strong. Wear time: pretty long! 8-10 hours

Ok. Here’s how this smells: you just walked into a haunted house that’s being reclaimed by the woods. There’s roots pushing through the ground, and a plush carpet of crunchy dead leaves coats the dusty wooden floor. The stairs look dubious- but something pulls at you to climb them. Upstairs, you find decadently decayed bedrooms wallpapered with fading floral patterns. Everything is dusty and soft and hazy. You pad quietly into the master bedroom and find an altar, a fading stick of incense, and a sepia toned photo of a beautiful woman from many, many moons ago. Dead leaves (sans that horrible bell pepper note), softly smoldering incense, and woody oud. Sillage: stronk. Wear time: long.

It pisses me off greatly that I haven’t finished reviewing last year’s weenies and it’s already time for this year’s. What do you mean the passage of time is real? And I’m subject to it? Thats actually kind of how this perfume itself makes me feel. I echo @starbrow’s sentiment that this takes one’s mental state back 100 years with its warm, orange tinted clove swirled with woody oudh and fuckin sexxxyyy amber. It smells like the bedchambers of a sexually repressed vampire. Perfect. Sillage: More aggressive than most bpal but it’s inviting. Wear time: Long, definitely lasted from morning to night for me.

This is, perhaps, what I would like my hair to smell like for the rest of time. I heartily second @Amoraexcena 's assessment that this is what silvery fairy dust and unicorn tears smell like, but I would even go so far as to say that this is the smell of early morning sunlight hitting the unicorn's shimmering mane as it drinks from a tranquil lake. The lake is fed by a large waterfall, which is casting rainbows and misting everything in a shuddering layer of dew. This is what a moonbeam smells like, bottled. Powdery sweet amber, smooth and silky and almost skin-musky. Mineralic sparkliness that adds some salty, grounded complexity that keeps you sniffing for more... This thing literally lasts for up to 3 days in my hair. Granted I have long, unruly thick hair that I douse in hairgloss (Seriously, about 5 ish pumps every time I use gloss at this point).

This is a sweet, almost juvenile cherry blend. I don't find the cherry medicinal at all either, but it is bright, and the other vague red fruits make the whole thing a cutesy cacophony of creamy cherry sugar. I don't get any "sweet cream" identifiably, but perhaps that's what is making this a little plasticky in the deep dry down. This does last a woefully short time on me, but it is a fun time while it lasts. I don't mind reapplying.

Hello beautiful people. I fantasise about perfume in between packing moving boxes… and as I sniff my collection, I’m struck by how much I love SWEET Patchouli and how shamefully little of it I have in my Oil perfume collection. For frame of reference: I’m positively Gaga over Mugler Alien (the ORIGINAL 2000s formula. RIP gorgeous cotton candy wood-bomb), and from BPAL: silky bat, Lydia, Luperci and Goth Queen. Are there any other sweet-choulis I can get my grubby little paws upon? *Preferably* BPAL (but doesn’t have to be, i guess? Is that illegal…) Thank you in advance gorgeous friends!! Sorry if this has already been asked a bajillion times. -
I undulate wildly between the filthy, dirt-y, patchouli-bound, leathery, musked up sex bomb perfumes and the delicate blossoms, silks, creams and laces that BPAL offers. Much like my personal style, the mood shifts from day to day! Silky Bat is an incredible middle ground of both. It’s patchouli, earthy raw and grounded, and yes, spun sugar clouds in equal parts. This really is the snuggliest, silkiest bat! very, very long lasting. Like aggressively so. And also the throw is INTENSE. I’m head over heels.

This pairs well with convivial vulva. It's very cherry-blossom and pink rose forward. The frothed cream is present and pretty and makes this whole thing sweet and toasty and comforting. Something in this is powdery but I'm not picking up any detectable amber. I love this hair gloss but the usual amount of hair gloss I apply to my hair is far too much for this beauty. I am good with a solid 2 pumps for my black, mid-back length hair.

I'm beyond in love with this. Sweet carnation, Creamy pink strawberry milk and bubble gummy lotus up top. Pearlescent, soft iris swimming in pink-powdered-strawberry-sugar milk in the deep dry-down. It reminds me of something nostalgic and comforting from my childhood, almost perhaps like a doll or a perfume I was given? It's girly and floral and milky. everything I could ever want. Other notes: Blue-tinged Glowing Vulva, minus the teak, plus strawberry. Makes me feel like a soft water fairy living on a waterlily pad.

I am so obsessed with this that I own a positively absurd amount of bottles. I love it so much I almost cannot describe how beautiful it is. It's bright, and floral but not aggressively-so, moreso in the way that you're standing in a gorgeous stone villa, catching whiffs of olive and linden blossoms blowing gently in the breeze. The musky vanilla-cedar makes this so, SO sexy and pretty. It does have the same creamy orris quality that "From whose eyes" has. This is absolutely a skin-scent but it's also something *More*. Absolutely stunning.

Sexy apple. Literally apple slices dipped in Amber and vanilla. I, too, do not get much fig but this thing is so beautiful I don't care. BPAL does the BEST effing apple note ever. The wear time on this is around 6 hours but the projection is gentle. I like to reapply throughout the day when I wear it.

Slamming the "YES" button so hard on this year's release of Smut. It's plush and red-hued and sexy. Booze and musk and something... else. Something velvety. Something... vanilla?? In the deep drydown. I love how inviting and warm this is. I kind of can't describe how sexy it is because it's like a stripped-back heavy-musk. That makes no sense but it's somehow bold, not animalic. Smooth, not screechy. Warm, not sweaty. Sweet, not cloying. I don't know how... they did it..... I also get a solid 12 hours of wear on this and I find the projection to be quite strong. I only need a few small dabs to get a gorgeous scent cloud.

SO lilacy but not at all indolic or weird. It's the PERFECT lilac-incense-sugared-vanilla combo. If you like snake oil and lilac, you'll like this. I get A LOOOOOOOOOOONG wear time from this one, and I do concur that this is a smoother variation of snoil, more vanilla-heavy. I am very into this and would hoard three bottles if I did not have,,, so much lilac already.
