This scent is heavy, leaden roses over soft black velvet with a few berries strewn about for ambiance. If you like heavy, dark rose scents with a hint of fruit this is for you.
-
Velvety, white blossoms with an earthy greenness. Reminds me of lilies in a vaguely vintage way. This is more what I was expecting from the Tomie perfume.
-
Woody, mossy, green, bitter. The vetiver is dark green, bitter and a little stanky. There's a stone note in the background, and as the oil sits on my skin the vetiver gets smoky. Vetiver forward, masc leaning.
-
Wet, this is fruity, waxy floral with golden amber. It reminds me a bit of crypt queen without the moss and dirt. The patch slowly emerges but remains a background supporting note.
-
Instantly, a sweet, jammy clove with a hint of orange. Very holiday pudding. I don't typically like holiday food smells as perfume, but this one is growing on me.
-
Usually blends like this go sour or too sweet on my skin, but so far this is a refreshing combo of lime and bergamot over dreamy, powdery violet with a sandalwood base. Like a violet pastille with a squeeze of lime/bergamot. This is less sweet than some of BPALs other powdery violets.
-
This is exactly what it says it is. A waxy, old school black lipstick with a hint of clove to give it dimension. I sort of like it? This reminds me a lot of Amorphous's Goth Club 1989, but less complex.

BPALs incense blend (the same one in dead leaves, incense smoke, and oudh) with a bit more frankincense over sweet, earthy black moss and cotton cloth note. The cloth note is stronger here than in Milarca. This is a little bit foody, with something in this reading as almond paste to my nose.
-
This opened with a strong punch from the pine needles that read like lime to my nose. They mix quickly into the dead leaves and all settle gently on a bed of mild oakmoss. As this sits on me, the pine settles and leans a touch perfumy. Low throw.
-
On me this is incense forward with a soft sprinkle of dead leaves and just a little of BPALs sweet oud. It's not fecal or sweaty. The incense reminds me of the incense in Crimson Peak: Ghosts, though this is softer.
-
This is LIME LIME LIME LIME with slightly sweet white musk, and the sharpness of bay rum and black pepper in the background. You just zested and juiced 6 limes and ground fresh black pepper for a recipe, and on the stove you are reducing a simple syrup with a bit of orange.
-
I swear this smelled like tobacco upon first spray, but as it settled I get BPALs industrial smog note from Chernobog and Smokestack, with the smell of a car interior (wood, hint of leather? cloth), clove? and dead leaves. Freshly sprayed it was overwhelming, but after letting it settle I sort of like it. Leans masculine: like wearing a well worn jacket that belongs to a mechanic on an autumn walk.
-
This is powdery pear blossom over a mix of sandalwood, neroli and a hint of white musk. I get a touch of what smells like cumin to my nose. Floral forward with an earthy base.
-
Oh, I quite like this. It reminds me of 90s aquatic potpourri, but lighter and better blended with blonde woods and a hint of cucumber. There's a lightly smoky note that adds depth. How Sail Away by Enya smells at dusk with a driftwood bonfire nearby.

Wolf Moon: Lupine Musk & Ambrette Seed Hair Gloss
Biocarbons replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Hair
I bought this specifically so I could understand what amberette seed smells like. The HG is lightly citrusy (a touch of lime?) and greenness and powdery on top of the musk. I like it, but this is another I'm not sure how much I'd wear it.
