BPAL Madness!

BPAL’s sibilant Snake Oil getting chomped by the cool, pale, sepulchral pallor of white sandalwood, orris root, frankincense, ambrette seed, and rice powder.

In the bottle: Obvious Snake Oil with orris and a touch of sandalwood.  It does smell cool.

 

On the skin: There is a slight toasty/savoury note on the skin which I believe is the rice powder with the sandalwood.  There’s almost a gingery note.  Overall, an overlay of dry, thin top notes over snake oil.  Will be interested to see where this leans after considerable aging. I'm on the fence with the fresh presentation. 

 

ETA: further into the drydown this becomes much more compelling.

Just got my sample and mmmm. Cooler and a bit less dark while still having that complex, sweet spice. I'm really liking it as it dries and look forward to seeing how it holds up.
