BPAL Madness!

Recommended Posts

On this date, the first wet plate photograph of an eclipse was taken. Shimmering amber, collodion, silver nitrate accord, and white lavender.

Bright, herbal, not-sweet lavender with a bit of the lab's magic-metal-smells over amber. this is big, rich and smooth.

I'd kinda hoped that this would take me back to darkroom days by evoking those lovely funky developer/stop/fixer chemicals but it doesn't smell like them. this is a blessing I think for most people, who might not enjoy that level of chemical funk. :lol:

this is a beautiful perfume, one that I recommend for fans of the lab's lavender scents.

 

 

eta, having read the haute macabre review of this, I'll just add that to me/on me, I don't get anything even slightly soapy.

Silvery lavender, sweet amber and hot metal. This is a very interesting lavender perfume. It's very wearable, very bright, and not somnolent at all. For those of you that are a fan of Lilith's lavender blends, this one may be a match as well. Good throw and wear length.

This reminds me a lot of Waiting but not aquatic. The silver nitrate accord is reminiscent of the asphalt note to me. An interesting, atmospheric cool-toned amber scent. This one has been the most evoking of an eclipse to me, mysterious and obscured is the vibe I get.

In Bottle: Lavender!

 

Wet: a little soapy, but still Lavender!

 

Dry: Wow this got sophisticated quick. This is a super clean scent but it is NOT at all soapy or powdery...pretty amazing in it's own right. I'm getting an ozonic metal + amber and lavender. It's pretty dang nice.

This is magic! Wow!

This perfume has a pretty strong kick of herbal lavender (big fan already) and when it dries down, it becomes a really rich, clean scent. But it is a clean scent with not a soapy bubble in sight! It's almost a bit like a glass of iced lavender black tea- it's got a richness and depth that is almost earthy. I suppose that might be the silver note. The amber is light and fresh and lends a subtle sweetness to the blend. Really wonderful spring rain in the lavender patch feel to it. It's not chemically at all, nor does it have a sharp metal note. The silver feels more to be atmospheric, invoking the idea of silver than a literal interpretation.
