    Coral Snake (2016)

    Sharp apple and oranges to the point that i can't make out anything else of this blend. As time goes by, the apple become less strong, but sadly it's the only thing that survives on my skin, faint apple scented nail polish remover.

    The Wild Men of Jezirat Al Tennyn (2016)

    This is a beautiful spicy moss, delicately clad on a bed of amber patchouli. I can discern the clove, but it behaves beautifully and doesn't scream at you. This blend is a bit reminiscent of A Wild and Naught Girl, yet it's much more gentle and calmer than the latter. If you prefer quiet smokey clove scents, try it.

    Looking for a bpal that embodies beeswax

    I get no beeswax, only some bright fruity floral

    Secrets

    This reminds me a lot of Aquolina - Blue Sugar. The honey, leather and cookies create this sparkly shimmering aura. I get whiffs of cotton candy for some weird reason.

    Wildflower Honey and Patchouli

    A chewy honeyed patchouli. Very wearable and refined and has long wear length.

    The Mysterious Rappings Polka

    Toffee was strong when applied wet, but later on it smells like tobacco musk. No trace of rose or pepper.

    The Palace of Versailles

    It's a jasmine centered blend that doesn't go stinky. The oudh does a good job keeping the jasmine in check. It's not a sweet jasmine, but a tiny tad smoky one. Smells beautiful and would be best worn for fall/ early winter.

    Low-Hanging Junk

    Labdanum reigns supreme on my skin...a bit fuzzy...and some tobacco adds depth. A resin tobacco blend with a mild fizz,

    Pomegranate Grove: Snake Oil

    The pomegranate has sucked the life out of the SO and i'm left with the tart twang of the fruit over a a sweet hazy incense base.

    The Hohenzollern Crypt

    This smells like a 70s citrus chypre fragrance for men. This blend captures so well for me a particular style of fragrances for men that were popular in the mid to late 70s, the citrus chypre/ fougere ones but on the lighter side. I get a citrus notes mingling with the herbal ones on a bed of tobacco and lavender (i would have mistaken the latter notes for oakmoss and leather). Really outstanding!

    Whitechapel

    6 year later this smells like lush lilac pulverized with citron mist. Clean lemony lilac. Delightful!

    The Rights of Women

    A low throw, skin scent. I smell some strawberry over a mellow light floral base.The scent disappears so fast on my skin. If gentle fruity florals are your thing, give this a chance.

    He'd Been an Angel Once

    The blend of leather, musk, vetiver, incense and brimstone just gives off this fecal vibe. It doesn't get better with time.

    Three Rounds, One Fall, No Submission

    It's a beautiful soft white musk, like a gentle white soap bar foam. The frank lurks around the edges and grounds the olfactory experience. Nothing infernal or diabolical about it.

    Being, Like, Really Smart

    It's a beautiful resinous lavender with gentle strokes of black pepper, but it's so much more. The blend has a soporific and buttery texture and the lavender gives it a swift kick. Very very evocative and beautiful.

    Voodoo Lily

    Freshly applied it smelled really citrusy and high pitched. But after 1 hour i smell a delicate soapy lily.

    Smokestack

    This is an usual blend that makes BPAL stand out in the sea of perfume houses. It's hard for me to pin point specifically what i'm smelling, but i can say for a fact that i get vetiver, wood, some sort of musk, maybe opium and something that conjures or mimics engine oil or oily residues. This is a dark woody oily blend.

    A Chance Meeting in Springtime

    On my skin the fig meat blooms and goes in tandem with the sandalwood. The milky white musk rounds out the fig around the edges. No sign of the peach. Milky (a little powdery) fleshy sweet fig. Very breezy and yummy smelling.

    Squelette et Fantôme

    A shimmering white musk lavender with very faint traces of cacao. Reminds me a bit of the 2016 Lilith waiting, except that one was smelling a bit cleaner.

    Carry Me

    The lavender fougere is pretty herbal and hit me so hard in the face. The vanilla cookie notes emerge later, but they just seem to clash with the sharp lavender and over time it reads as lavender shampoo. I guess the lavender variety used in this blend is not suited for my skin.

    Morning at Fuschlsee

    This blend is a morpher alright. Upon drydown it reminds of a shower gel i used to own last decade and also of an aquatic commercial perfume from the early 00s. It is better suited for a guy in his senior high school year or early 20s. The smell that emerges is so hard pin point: it's a thin, sharp and chilly note (bergamot mingled with florals) over a frost note that i identify as bath products. Best use is sweltering summer days, but do not over apply.

    Beware: Pickpockets!

    I was expecting honestly more peppermint and bitter citrus notes. It reminds me so much of the 2016 Yule Cherophobia. It's a sweet cheery citrus blend, no bitterness, no peppermint, just sweetened/ sugared citrus fruits.

    Honeyed Champaca Blossom and Basmati Rice

    Fresh, it smells like warm steamed rice and this stage smells so real and authentic. The rice sweetens gradually and the steamed rice note gets drier over time. This is so unusual and mind-boggling. Really enjoying this blend.

    Humorous Copulation

    It's a simple joyous scent. Creamy lemon lotus. Doesn't last long, though. However, very pleasant and light. Reminds me of last year's Luper "Hojojitsu", but the latter was much more complex and longer lasting and that had almond and red currant notes.
