Black Fly Butter Moon

[doomsday_disco]

A glass of midnight stout, thick with black chocolate and roasted barley, its foam kissed with bitter espresso. A pale disc of buttered shortbread rests against the rim, crumbling into the inky depths. A strange eclipse of comfort and shadow: warm, crumbly biscuit and golden butter swallowed by a swirl of dark malt, molasses, and cocoa.

A decadent swoon of buttery, malty, gooey chocolate and coffee. Wears close to the skin, so you're not going to enter a room bombastically smelling like the fanciest coffee shop.

 

This one doesn't have the wild shifting powers of it's buddy Black Butterfly Moon. All the notes stay pretty consistent from bottle to skin, and they all settle down together in perfect harmony.

In the bottle, all the listed notes are present and accounted for in a frothy, rich, decadent mess that I am instantly smitten with. 

I agree with the prior post that all remain accounted for in the final drydown...I just wish it was anywhere near as strong as the warm, gooey WHOOMPH! I get from first sniff upon opening. That said, there's a way where this scent feels like a bit of a BPAL throwback to the ways Beth and Co used to do some of the olde-timey foodie scents. It doesn't remind me of any one in particular, more that sense of "This is a classic BPAL cake-rich scent!". It's very warm and cozy, and it makes me want to pull on a big sweater and cuddle up with a book. I imagine I will do just that whilst wearing this lovely daytime scent over the ensuing cold months, in fact! Medium throw and a nice base scent, I could also see layering this with either resins (to punch up the drama) or a decadent gourmand (to heighten and extend the foodie aspect). It's also a great daytime scent on its own that would be friendly in a host of environments. 

Yummy! 😋
