BPAL Madness!

Recommended Posts

Black opium, wild plum, cypress tar, Bulgarian rose, olibanum, black orchid, and tobacco.

 

They were purple of raiment and golden,

Filled full of thee, fiery with wine,

Thy lovers, in haunts unbeholden,

In marvellous chambers of thine.

They are fled, and their footprints escape us,

Who appraise thee, adore, and abstain,

O daughter of Death and Priapus,

Our Lady of Pain.

HOO BOY. We gonna need a backup squadron, we gonna need OLOP scents as GC. This one is *dangerous*. That rose is neither jammy sweet nor powdery, it's dark and soft and real. Plum is not candyish or sour, tobacco is like the old French Tobacco SN. Slinky deep purple silk.

 

It shares no listed notes and doesn't even smell like it, but this has a Hymn to Prosepine vibe, may she rest in peace 😭. Or maybe a drier, less sweet Mme Moriarty. Warning: causes instant pupil dilation in partners.

In the bottle I get a very dry plum and opium combo, incensey and fruity without being sweet. On my skin the scents becomes darker, moodier and I can't really pin what I'm smelling until I look at the notes, it's all blending together. I think the tobacco and cypress tar are giving some earthy, almost woody heft to the scent. As it dries I get a beautiful dark rose. Moody, dark, seductive.
