BPAL Madness!

Recommended Posts

Jolly, jeering splats of red and black currants, neroli, and spiced apricot surrounding a grinning clang of spectral sandalwood musk.

Ohhkay, someone just asked me about my thoughts on this one because there weren't any other reviews, and since I've made many purchase decisions based on forum reviews, I need to do my duty, lol. 

 

I expected this to smell fabulously fruity because of all the fruit notes  + sandalwood musk. Sniffing the open bottle, that's exactly what I smell, currants and orange and spice, so good.

 

Skin chemistry turns this to a fruity floral, like orange blossom (which must be the neroli). Maybe if this rests for a good long while, it will evolve on me, but I think probably not, since I bought it direct from BPAL in April 2025, tried it in Nov 2025 and again in Feb 2026, and from my notes, it hasn't changed. It is objectively a lovely scent, not objectionable, work safe, too, but I don't love florals.

 

It's not you, Masks, it's me. You deserve a better home.
