Grapefruit + yuzu bomb. This is the grapefruit dream scent I've been waiting for. It's grapefruit and hints of yuzu and maybe mandarin. Super sweet and juicy. Love it.
-
Sweet green gras that dries down to a green vanilla. If you love grass or vanilla, give this a whirl. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Gin, lime and a whiff of pine. If you like gin blends, give this a whirl. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Dark fur, bloody clove and a whiff of ozone snow. This one is a much darker blend that I expected. It smelled vaguely aquatic in the bottle, but I got a ton of spicy blood musk and fur on me.
-
Dry spices cacao, vanilla, and nuts. This one is a nice warm nutty cacao blend. Good throw and wear length.
-
Giuseppe Palizzi Black pine, white sage, creeping ivy, and wild juniper. This is a very clean green scent. I get a ton of ivy, followed by juniper and sage. Honestly, the sage is almost MIA, and the pine definitely is. And it's a very IVY blend. Good throw, medium wear length. I'm very surprised by this blend as I expected a pine-sage mix, and its all ivy.
-
Sugared popcorn and a whiff of dead leaves. Neither of which is super strong on me. Slightly salty.
-
I get a ton of powdery violets, and a whiff of oudh. But yeah, VIOLETS.
-
Type AB-, clove, laudanum accord, and cherry! Bloody cherry and laudanum resin, with a whiff of clove. This smells like a cherry/clove resin. Good throw and wear length
-
Roses, pink carnation, and a whiff of smoked hay. This one is a smoky pink rosy blend. Medium throw and wear length.

2018 version This is infinitely less goaty - and way more approachable. Or maybe I've matured as a BPAL consummer? It's got less vetiver (its still there and its nice and smoky), musk, amber and whiffs of carnation, ginger, and pomegranate. It's much more balanced for me this time around. Much more wearable. Good throw, low wear length.
-
Red roses, incense, and spice. This one is a spicy rose that reminds me alot to Red Rose but without the clove and with incense instead. If you are a fan of darker rose blends and like the full red bloom of a red rose like in Peacock Queen, give this a whirl. Good throw and wear length.
-
Cool fougere that dries down a manly rosy baby powder. Yup. That's what happened. Sometimes things aren't as grown up as they appear to be.
-
Jasmine, olive blossom, ivy and other greens. This is a dark lush jasmine with other dark green herbals on the background, sort of leading to cool, green Mediterranean garden on a summer day. Very evocative.
-
This one is amazing - it's an citrus orange with whiffs of honey. LOVE IT.
-
Tobacco oudh, red musk and a whiff of honey. This one is red, strong, and very in your face. Good throw and wear length.
-
Rose, blue musk and a whiff of black currant. It ends up as a rose-blackcurrant musk on my hair.
-
Lily, white floral and a whiff of ambergris. If you like white florals, give this a whirl. It makes your hair smell like if you had just gone to an expensive salon.
-
Blackberries, blackberry leaf and a whiff of fig. Very purple and blackberry like.
-
Johann Christian Reinhart Brown musk, leather, castoreum accord, white cedar, amber oudh, and clove bud. Clove, amber, oudh, cedar, and whiffs of musk and leather. This is a much cleaner, muskier blend than I expected. I get clove on wet, and then I get the amber and oudh peeping out. The cedar is not overwhelming. The musk is there and it starts off as much more animalistic, but calms down once everything else is in play. Musky, clove, leather. Medium throw and wear length.

Dead Leaves, Sweet Myrrh, Leather, Green Pomelo, and Red Currant
zankoku_zen posted a topic in Halloweenie
Every leaf tells a story. I get mainly red currant and citrusy pomelo over dead leaves. Medium throw and wear length. Leather is MIA for me. -
Twin symbols of Aries, signifying courage and aggression: dragon’s blood resin, red peppercorn, red poppy, red musk, and red amber. RED! Dragon's blood, red musk, and amber. It's mainly a musky ambery DBR. Great I think for the men folk. It's a very gender neutral blend, and great DBR if you're into that. Medium throw, great wear length.
-
Green tea and matcha, with a whiff of lime. This is a very green tea blend.
-
Dead Leaves, Ti Leaf, and Green Chypre Hair Gloss
zankoku_zen replied to annemathematics's topic in Hair
Dead Leaves and Green Chypre. This one is very light, and after the first application sort of hard to smell either of them. But it was definitely a lighter DL blend that normal. -
Warm musky sandalwood, slight oakmoss/aquatic tinge on it. In general this is a very warm musk and sandalwood blend.
