    Satan Presiding at the Infernal Council

    This is surprisingly wearable for the notes! Yeah it's dark and infernal, but it's also warm and subtle. I tested a *very* small amount and it's almost gone within a couple hours.

    The Kiss of the Sphinx

    OMG, this is gorgeous! It opens up with a blast of dark fruit and then goes to what I can only describe as old school GC BPAL. Like the first boxes of imp packs I used to get, when I was figuring out what I liked. It dries down to sweet and smoky and wearably dark. It lasted for several hours before I tried to wash it off, and it resisted the first wash pretty much untouched. If you're curious, I definitely recommend checking this one out.

    RPG Combos

    Evil Aasimar: Blech, sweet powder. Evil Drow: The first punch reminds you that there's opium components in each of the blends. It dries down to a perfumy purple black. Evil Tiefling: This is another Very Strong combo when wet, but works really well together when dry.

    RPG Combos

    Chaotic Drow Blends well together, but I'm getting a dryer sheet note (I think from the Chaos). Chaotic Tiefling Ooh, these work really well together. The Tiefling spices up the Chaos, and is sweetened and smoothed in turn. Still there after five and a half hours.

    Sinister Restlessness

    This is definitely A Lot at first, but it dies down surprisingly quickly for the notes. On me, it only lasted a couple hours.

    Hatman

    This is a blast of strong sweet powder (oud? musk?) (with perimenopause, who can tell?) that dries down to a manageable red musk and tobacco. It lasts for a good five hours with a small testing amount.

    Fuchsia Eyes

    I also got B&BW vibes, but for me it was a Very Nice red holiday candle while wet. It got juicier as it dried.

    Come With Me, Loving Me to Death

    This is absolutely gorgeous! It's incredibly wearable for having orchid and black musk. On me, it's a sweet orchid, without being overwhelmingly floral, giving over into a dark, well behaved musk. The almond lends some sweetness at the beginning, but it's never foody on me. Stunning, and a perfect interpretation of the source material.

    Dead Leaves, Incense Smoke and Oud

    I'm not getting the usual DL note at all. On me, this is incense smoke with a nicely behaving oud.

    Baobhan Sith

    Well, don't know if I've genuinely never tried this, or just never reviewed it. I can pick out the individual notes. It's a nice, light scent that was gone in a couple hours.

    Strawberries, Sugar, and Lime

    I don't think I ever got the lime on this. It's a very nice sugared strawberry with some definite staying power.

    RPG Combos

    Chaotic Aasimar Sweet powder. I blame the Chaotic, which apparently still hasn't aged from my 2021 post.

    Tiefling

    'Infernal' was the first word that came to my find on application. The musk is very strong at first, with a lot of throw. But this dries down to a lovely warm, comforting scent.

    Roasted Peach, Velvet Rose, and Labdanum

    I was worried about the rose not in this, but I shouldn't have been. I couldn't pick out it or the labdunum. I got a sweet peach with something warm, but not spicy in the background. It finally faded to something that smelled like lotion or skin cream. I didn't love it, but I kept sniffing my wrists, if that makes sense?

    Peach Fougere

    Okay, I am really liking this one! It's a definite blast of effervescent peach at first, but then it becomes more of a closer skin scent. I couldn't pick out any of the herbs or fern, and it never smells green. We're almost six hours after a regular application now, and it's there, but faded. Minimal throw. I haven't worn it in forever, but this conjures up memories of Aglaea for me.

    Filthy Peach Pulp

    Agreed, that for the notes listed, this is a surprisingly light fragrance. The peach and musks are definitely *there*, but it's not overwhelming the way it easily could be. Moderate throw with a small test dot inside the elbows.
  17. white_jenna63

    Black Peach, Black Tea, and Blackcurrent

    On first sniff, this is a really nice shampoo or other bath product. It's not a juicy, in your face peach. The notes all blend together nicely, and nothing is really dominant.

    Drow

    First again? Okayyy.... It should be noted that a lot of plum/purple scents smell 'perfume-y' to me, given my late mother's love of Poison. (Lord, that sounds wrong....) It's the case with Evil, and the same here. On first application, this was a lovely...watery ('iridescent' sounds much better) purple. I really thought I detected an aquatic note at first. The plum was very forward for the first 15 minutes or so. Then it moved back a little, and let the other notes out. Four hours later, it's still a sophisticated pale purple blend. The musk is never screeching, and the leather gives it warmth and depth without being obvious. Minimal throw from a small testing dot. I think this is going to layer beautifully with Evil.

    Dragonborn

    Agreeing that this isn't an in your face DBR blend. On me, it's a sweet smoky (without being overwhelming) leather, with the acid and ozone keeping it from being a pure leather blend. It *is* surprisingly light given the notes. On me it lasted several hours with a minimal amount applied for testing, and I rarely smelled it unless I had my wrists near my nose.

    Aasimar

    Okay, here goes! In the imp, the cardamom is forward. On the skin during dry down, the vanilla silk and amber take center stage, with the incense providing some oomph. This is still a very light, lovely scent, though. On me, it's definitely similar to Flickering Lights, Fluttering Curtains, but much more sheer (silk vs lace). Good wear after two hours. Minimal throw, but I only put it on lightly to test. I think this is going to layer beautifully with other RPG scents.

    Comets

    Yeah, I had to look up the notes for this, because I had no idea based on the imp or first application. Floral potpourri is what I'm getting, and it's disappointing. Very strong throw, too, of course.

    Bastet

    I'm sure I've tried this sometime in my BPAL journey, but I'm not up to shifting through 19 pages of reviews to see if I wrote about it. A very soft, light, musky amber scent. Very pretty, but not one I'm keeping at this point.

    Dwarven Ale

    Got this as a frimp in my Luper decant order. I got hit with a blast of...something yeasty? I can definitely smell the pumpkin that others mentioned. Despite putting on the smallest dab, I had to wash it off right away. Not for me!

    Pomegranate, Kyphi, and Oud

    Disclaimer: I have no idea what kyphi smells like. My skin ate the pom immediately. Once it was on my skin, buh-bye. Now I've got...something that's like a sweet oudh, but then it morphs sharp and back to sweet again? I don't know if I *like* it, but I keep smelling my wrists? 'It makes no damn sense. Compels me, though.' I think I'm going to throw it in the imp box and see what my thoughts are when it comes up next time.

    Pomegranate, Golden Sandalwood, and Amber

    This is strong pom right out of the gate, but it quickly dries down to a...dry pom, if that makes sense. Not a wet and juicy fruit blend. On me, this dries down to what would be a very nice Winter Pomegranate body wash, but I don't think it's what I'm looking for in a perfume oil.
