Something about this takes me to Watermelon-Gum-ville. It is nice but it's almost...... kid's shampoo vibes? Plus something tarter and more grown up. Idk. Not my vibe...

I'm obsessed with this and it pairs so so well with "Women on the Harbour on the Island of love" or whatever the meow it's called. Sweet pink marshmallows, strawberry amber and frothy vanilla cream. The Cherry blossom floats delicately atop this wonderful pink explosion. Something about this makes me very nostalgic.

ROSE! Pink! Chewy! Green! AAAAHHHH MAGICAL GIRL EXPLOSION!!!!!!!! That's how I feel about this. It's so sugary and frothy that I couldn't wear it for long and passed the bottle along to a friend (or sold it?). I prefer From Whose Eyes as They Glanced Flowed Love, but if you like sugar-splosions and rose milk tea...... do not pass this one up

I actually love this. It's pink grass. There's definitely some herbaceous, weird mochi-esque vibes under the bright, pink tart berry. I think the neriki is what's making this read as Mochi-esque? It's powdery and grassy and pink and earthy and fruity. I do not know how to convey it to you much better than that, apart from literally inventing telekinesis technology to beam my thoughts into your brain.

This really is a beautiful, creamy, sweet, fruity sandalwood. The tobacco never showed it's rump! I liked it but not enough to hang on to my bottle since I have,,, oh so many. Perfect if you like And though they are with you, and just generally sweet comforting creamy sandalwood perfumes.

I shrimply must get my Luper reviews in before they come down for good this year. I may expand upon them later but for now, they shall be as succinct as they can be. The First Veil is a delicious smooth sandalwood incense with a little spicy peppery kick (very warm, very approachable. it almost leans a little tobacco-y.) that burns off quickly. After the Spicy(trademark) wears off, the silk & ambergris give a sweet smooth musk duet over the woodiness. I wear this one often and, somehow it makes me feel so grounded and peaceful. The seventh veil has caused strange dreams, but the First veil has made me prone to a soft, mournful reverie. Good throw and longevity.

Something sweet and grapey, something clean and powdery, perhaps even silky. Something is clean and cold and glittering here, but I can’t but my finger on it. This is a really nebulous fragrance that I struggle to describe due to its complexity and uniqueness. There is a bit of a grapey undertone when wet, perhaps like wine? This is everything I wanted and more and I have *weird* dreams when I wear this. Like dreams that feel so real I genuinely think they are and am shocked when I awake. The other night I was standing on the edge of a cliff somewhere in aberdeen scotland with the wind just absolutely buffeting my face as a storm blew in. I could smell the thick creamy lanolin scent of my woolen sweater and the petrichor and grass. My hair whipped against my skin and it actually like physically stung. I’ve never experienced real pain in a dream before. Has anyone else ever experienced things like this with non-magical blends from BPAL?????? i’m like genuinely freaked out.

Hi friends! I recently fell head over heels for Smut 2025, and I was curious about some GC recommendations for similar smutty/sensual fragrances? Or even non GC I love hunting fumes down hehe

@MonBon woah, incredible recs!! I actually do have Resembling The Passion of Love & Bien Loin D’ici, both of which are gorgeous. I tried Le Léthe and wasn’t wowed by it but it was a fresh imp from the Lab & I wonder if I’d like the aged bottles… i saw potential in it but it didn’t live up to debauchery or bien loin

Severin is a heart-throb. Wet, the leather component reminds me of a thick, hand-bound book. The heavy, thudding kind, for which you acquire special permission to check out from the University library. There's something glowing brightly around the leather's edges, perhaps bergamot as prior reviewers have mentioned. It's sharp in a masculine, cologne adjacent way. As the oil dries and the top notes burn off, things round out and Severin begins to smell like a dark-eyed poet. Perhaps he's a vampire with an extensive library of titles stretching back decades. The bergamot has seemingly curtseyed and sashayed away, peeking her head in shyly every now and then, and the leather smells almost like the soft worn leather of a beloved jacket or gloves. The tea is grounding and herbal throughout this entire experience- but late into the dry down is when it really begins to shine. Everything becomes sort of creamy and hazy at the halfway mark of wearing, becoming something less formal and a little more.... unbuttoned. Maybe now the vampire's hair is down. It's sexy and warm and inviting. The deep-dry down is reminding me quite a lot of Jareth. It's missing the lilac and oudh, which actually makes Severin a little less complex than Jareth, but they both share that "impossibly sexy" quality. Perhaps they both just make me feel impossibly sexy..... either way, I digress. Severin is an incredible fragrance, and I will forevermore mourn it's discontinuation. Sillage: Medium- But I am slowly realizing I may just apply much more perfume than other people. Longevity: About 4 hours. It was completely undetectable to my nose after about 5 hours.

Citrine is That Bitch. She smells bougie. I have both the Hair gloss & oil. Hair Gloss: The ambmyrrh casts a thick & golden aura that radiates like a halo. The citrus is there, but lighter & more short-lived than the oil. It definitely smells of “orange zest” or peel rather than the sweet juice of an orange. It’s bitter, in a sophisticated, aperol-spritz way. Perfume Oil: A little gentler & rounder than her bold hair gloss counterpart, this one lets the citrus shine for a full 3 hours. Brighter, less resinous, less “full” than the hair gloss. It settles into the sexiest clean amber you’ve ever smelled within 6 hours. Both the hair gloss & perfume oil are strong on their own, but I find that when I layer them, I get chased down in crystal shops. Longevity: 10 ish hours for the oil, a full 14 for the Gloss. Sillage: Strong. This one is *not* demure.

This is one of my favorite room sprays of alllll time. Soft, powdery baby pink rose splashed with rose water & dusted with earthy tea and ephemeral orris. This spray transforms my modern, bedraggled bedroom spotted with IKEA furniture into a lush, velveteen oasis. Three spritzes and suddenly I’m lounging on a plush chaise lounge in my sheer chemise, smiling cheekily at a handsome man who’s currently doing his best to ignore me while he reads. I’m in love with this scent & it pairs so well with wearing any variation of the “lace” perfumes.

Sweet, musky fluffy cakey lemony ambery goodness. This is very fresh & clean going on, and then it morphs into a soft, sensual amber musk. It's not super foody because it's sweetness is tempered by the fresh lemon & skin musk. I really love this one, as it reminds me of another favorite, Four penises. It does have a short longevity, which actually makes it an incredible bed-time scent. I love wearing it before bed because it feels it casts a warm, radiant glow. Very soothing & almost meditative in a way. Just lovely! Sillage: Medium Longevity: short, about 2-3 hours.

I applied this & was immediately transported to a vacation my family and I took when I was a child. There is no cotton note but this conjures up images of laying on freshly laundered egyptian cotton in a hotel room with the balcony doors open. The sun is setting and the sky is pink and gold. The gentle crashing of the bluest waves you’ve ever set eyes on lulls you into the deepest sleep you’ve ever had. Ambery, warm, creamy & delicious. What more could anyone want? Sillage: medium Longevity: medium

These are all incredible recs!! I’ve actually acquired several of these bottles lately due to y’all recommending them but I forgot to update everyone!! I absolutely *loooove* snake smut & Jialong but debauchery is a top-tier favourite. I’ll hunt down snake charmer someday….. hopefully. These both sound absolutely incredible. I will be hunting them down!

I’d be happy to smell of this for the rest of my life I think. Sexy, resinous apples. The cigarette note isn’t aggressive and disgusting it’s kind of wispy and balanced so gorgeously by the fresh tartness of the *perfect* apple note I’m head over heels for this one.

This was a surprise hit for me. I feel sexy as hell when I wear it. It’s all smooth black musk and sweet incensey myrrh. This is a worn in leather jacket scent, alluring and badass. I love this so much I have a backup bottle of it.

SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE! I do agree this is the scent of a bohemian Goddess. She wears long velvet skirts and has her waist length hair half-up, half-down, reading tarot cards and burning patchouli & sandalwood insence. This is sweet and sexy and plush. It’s purple velvet couches and celestial print upholstery and pillows with deep crimson tassles and gold threading. She makes chamomile tea before bed and wakes up before dawn to stretch and pray- yoga for her is a spiritual experience not an exercise and she has cabinets full of rare materials and a garden full of herbs and plants. Kitchen witch but sexier.

Plummy purple floral with some sweet vanillic musk, it’s kind of high end and mainstream. not super snakey, but it is gorgeous. It reminds me sort of a sweeter, more feminine Drow. I adore this perfume and want two or three backups but I do concur it’s not heavy on the snake. Sillage: Medium! Wear Time: 4-6 ish hours

Oh my goodness. Thank you for the rec, @sunshinedaisybliss that looks like the exact thing I want!! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a bottle!

I’ve bought an indecent number of backup bottles and may yet buy more (threat). I just cannot stop reaching for it. Such a wearable yet sexy spiced vanilla- I do concur the vanilla is of the floaty variety, very lace-esque, yes. The cardamom is just enough to give it a little spice without ruining the gorgeous ephemeral thing it’s got going on-cardamom can be weirdly angelic, as evidenced by both this blend and Aasimar. Velvety, plush, sweet, soft, sultry, ohhhhh wow goodness. It’s so good 5 adjectives doesn’t even feel like enough. Sillage: Present… but like in an ephemeral way…… take a shot every time i use ephemeral in a review… Wear time: 5-6 hours of full strength and then around 3 more hours of detectable perfume

Beautiful thank you for the recc!!! I adore the RPG collection bc I fuckin’ adore DnD, so any time I get to purchase from it to fulfill a specific scent goal… I do a lil happy dance.

You might be into some of the recent releases for LEs, Lunacies, as well as some of the collab frags. Lupers/shungas and RPG also have some! Theres: Wisteria & white musk hair gloss Drow, which I can personally attest to being divine. Haunted Housewife- this one is so pale Hypatia (I stroongly suspect that both Ava and Tomie have small drops of white/pale musks in them!) Psionicist I sit and sew (i have a full bottle of this coming its lovely) Daiyu from Carnaval Diabolique My soul acquiesced for SURE! In terms of GC: Kitsune-Tsuki (this one is GORGEOUS) Jareth (another stunner) Death on a pale horse Black Pearl. I really only included things I’ve smelled or tried, but there’s tonnnnessss of other frags currently available with lovely snuggly bright white musk 🤍🐾🥰 I so hope you find your true love!!!

Morocco must be what Heaven smells like. I could bathe in this perfume, and between my bottle, my bath oil, my hair gloss and the various imps I keep within arms-reach (to re-up.. for that glorious initial hit of clean floral incensey musk) I practically do. In all 20something years I’ve spent visiting Earth, no fragrance has tickled my fancy quite like Morocco. The carnation and sandalwood are smooth and the musk is sensual. Imagine you’re walking through the desert, and you happen upon a small, unassuming building. Hoping for friendly faces, you push the thick velvet curtain aside and step into the cool stone room. As you adjust to the sudden darkness, your eyes are treated to the most erotic scene you’ve ever laid them on. High quality incense burns somewhere in the background, and the spicy scent of carnations wafts towards you from the gorgeous bouquet placed on the table nearby. Someone from the pile of limbs and plush pillows beckons to you. Something inside you says “we should stay here forever”. Sillage: Strong- I get compliments on this one frequently! Wear time: 6-8 hours, hair gloss closer to 10!!

This one made me feel sick to my stomach- I couldn’t bear having it on. I’d describe it as something between “death” and “craft store at halloween”. My skin loves and I mean loves bpal blends so I know this isn’t a skin chem issue- this one just isn’t for me and that’s okay!!
