I really enjoy this. Its not a scent I would have gotten a sample for myself, so I am glad it was tossed in with one of my orders. I agree with what everyone else has said about it smelling like wax, and wax candles but I also detect something else in there almost sort of woody like/ cedar like I can't quite pin point what it is, maybe its an amber of some type because I strongly feel there is one unlisted. I also feel there could be a hint of a flower in there as well. It doesn't have much of a throw for me, its a very close to the skin type scent, and overall I am really glad I was able to try it.

Oh I absolutely love this scent. Its dark and spooky with little hints of sweetness here and there. I can pick up on almost all of the notes except the Labdanum but it doesn't really matter. The Patchouli here is wonderful, the likes from which can be found in Silky Bat so you can get an idea of how it plays. It has an almost smoky like background note I don't really know what to attribute to, maybe its the patchouli? maybe the opium tar ? I feel its more the opium tar. This scent is super rich and gorgeous. It feels luxuriously gothy. I hope this scent is always available because its one of my candidates to be my forever signature scent.

This was my very first BPAL scent and its the one that got me hooked forevermore >:D I love all things fairy ( but spooky scary fairies) so this was a must when I saw it. It is absolutely gorgeous and I hoard my precious bottle like a dragon. Its beautifully floral and green. While it has vanilla its toned down and I only get hints of it here and there. What i get strongest are all the flowers, poppy, honeysuckle, jasmine. I dont get too much lilac but get plenty of the grasses and tobacco. The cognac is very toned down and tends to come out later in the scent as it dries. It lasts a good while too and I would say it has a medium throw. I will be truly sad when I run out of this scent and hope I can find something similar to it.

This scent makes me feel like a murky mermaid/siren lurking in deep dark ocean depths. Out of all the BPAL aquatics I've tried it's by far the darkest one. It's what I thought Cthullu would be like heh. It certainly fits the description completely. The strongest notes I get would have to be the ambergris, squid ink, and benzoins with the musks in the background. I don't get much kelp, sea salt, violet leaf, davana or opoponax . This is a perfume that for me really benefited from a long rest. When I first got it, it was very much dryer sheet like others have mentioned but with aging this toned down and everything else blended much more and it grew in depth. It's also got a killer lasting power I can smell it on my clothes days later and strangely enough get the kelp and sea salt much more strongly there than wet on my skin.

Oo! This is really nice. I bought this along with Parthenope to try out the mermaid like lady scents from the grind house. This scent in the vial smells strongly of the Pear and absinthe and moss to me. On the skin its the same however as time passes the labdanum comes out and finally what Im guessing is the crushed coral note. The crushed coral note to me is aquatic/ a bit soapy ( not in a bad way) its a note Ive noticed in other BPAL aquatics like Ryleh and Thalassa. Im really really enjoying this scent and I feel it might be full size worthy.

This scent is very sweet and bubble gummy to me. I like it but its not the kind of scent I usually go for nor reach for very often. I still enjoy it though and keep it for this reason. What I get the most of is the Lotus and marshmallow and cream. I get little whiffs here and there of the lotus root which is sort of earthy and well.. rooty smelling which I feel helps keep this scent from becoming too sweet.

Ohh I love this. I sought this out after I read reviews stating it was similar to Zorya P. Which I love. This is certainly very similar but much darker and richer, less ethereal. Lavender is the strongest note I get that combines lovely with the ambergris and the tobacco flower giving the scent a sort of creaminess. To me it's very much a unisex type of scent thanks to the lavender and the oud which I feel helps round off the entire scent. I really like this and I wish I could get my hands on more of it because I love to wear it in cold weather, and has easily become one of my most used scents since I purchased it.

When I got my imp to try this scent, I instantly fell in love with it. It was ethereal and lovely. I decided it was full size worthy and went ahead and purchased the bottle. Sadly, when I received my bottle, it was very different to what my imp smelled like. I want to blame that on that perhaps my imp was aged and thus it had become milder and that the bottle was new and fresh and thus still sharp as a consequence. In the bottle all I get is pine. pine. as it dries down however the other notes start to pop out like the violet, and berries but sadly overall it all gets overpowered by the strong astringent pine. I'm going to keep my bottle however in hoped that if I let it age more it may hopefully in time become milder and match my imp. My imp was berries with a hint of moss, a slight bit of sweetness and creaminess from the honeycomb, dappled with flowers with the pine at the back seat enveloping everything else but not overpowering them.

When I first got this scent it smelled much more potent than what I liked, about a year later its mellowed out more and I really enjoy it more. I can't really smell the Blue Lotus note on me, but in the bottle I do. Its one of the main reasons I purchased this scent, its one of my favorite notes. The main notes I get are the sandalwood and Champaka, but its really the sandalwood that takes the most control with the Champaka and the motia (jasmine) taking the back seat. This was the biggest change however from when I first got the scent to now, a year later. Upon first receiving the scent the Champaka was super strong as was the jasmine too much I couldn't really wear the scent because it was too overpowering. Now everything blends much nice. I can't really say anything about the Abalone Accord, because Im not sure what it smells liked and sadly was what I was most curious about since I love abalones. I do agree with other reviewers commenting the scent smells a bit like soap. At first it did for me too and I kind of liked that, it was just too strong now that its mellowed out I dont get such a soapy like scent as I did in the beginning but I do get occasional whiffs of its here and there.

I bought this hoping it would be a more peach forward or amber scent but its much more lemon blossom on me. I like it, but the lemon I feel overpowers the other notes which makes me sad. It is a lovely spring even summer scent however, and I think I will use it more during those seasons than for daily wear. With that said though its a citrusy floral scent thats fresh and "clean" smelling. Very bright, a little sharp, and happy.

Oo I really like Lyonnese. Its a full size candidate for sure. While it has vanilla its not a strong vanilla, its only giving it a soft warmness to the scent. Its also not a foody vanilla, being more of the floral type in my opinion. The lilies are prominent and pretty but in the first imp I bought they were a bit too much, however in a second imp I received they were more toned down (may be it was older?) and I got more of the moss and ambergris which are two of my favorite notes ever. I don't feel like this is a very aquatic scent, I find it more of a mossy almost cologney type scent.

Wicked reminds me a lot of Poinsettia gown minus the cream. This scent also has the same exact notes as Nyx. Nyx however is "darker", my guess is it has a higher Myrrh content than Wicked which I feel has a very minimal amount. While Nyx is dark, Wicked is lighter and powderier, more of what an older refined lady would wear ( just like an elegant but wicked step mother or wicked queen like the one in snow white.) For those not a big fan of Jasmine I would recommend staying away from this one. Its the strong shrieking kind. The rose kind of softens it but not by much.

This is a nice cool scent. Its most definitely an aquatic, but its a sharp kelpy kind of aquatic with hints of something citrusy. While this doesn't have Moonflower as a listed note it reminds me of other perfumes I've smelled that carry a lemony like moonflower note. I can smell the amber and I feel this is what gives a sort of warmth to the otherwise cool scent. I will be wearing this more for the spring and summer months for the coolness the scent carries.

This smells sharp to my nose. Its been resting for a week now and its still as sharp as it was since I received it. Maybe the sharpness will lessen as time goes by but for now unfortunately its too sharp smelling for me for daily wear. It is most certainly an aquatic, and I definitely get the kelp, it vaguely reminds me of Thalassa the Galapagos Mermaid if you've smelled that it has the same kelp note. Ambergris is a note I usually love and can smell in blends but in this blend I don't get it at all. To me this scent smells somewhat citrusy like ozone? and something maybe piney? Cypress? Its hard to describe. Its very cool too in how smells just like you imagine fog being.

On me, Kitsune- Tsuki is a fruity floral. The strongest notes I get are plum (which before looking at the notes thought could be cherry or cherry blossom), the orchid which smells slightly green with floral hints, and the Jasmine and Musk. The jasmine is however very toned down Jasmine its not sharp at all. I am not familiar with Daffodill as a note so I can't really say whether I do smell it or not, but everything comes together in a lovely fruity floral scent that reminds me alot of Titania. It has medium silage I'd say, and the lasting power isn't too long on me. I'd say about 2-3 hours. It's really pretty, girly and totally different than what I usually select to try out so I'm very happy this was sent as a sample in a purchase of mines.

For this blend the strongest note I get is the Labdanum. While I do get the sandalwoods they are mostly in the background to the Labdanum and the musk is non existent for me at the moment. This scent LASTS. When I first applied it in the morning to test it out I could still smell it by the end of the day. It also has some decent throw as well, I would say medium. As for the actual scent Id say this is a unisex scent, that anyone could wear its also warm and I agree with the post before me that its very shroud like. Its like a fuzzy dark shroud. The Labdanum is the one to blame Id say, noticing that in other blends I have with it it has a similar effect. While there's no coconut, it has a scent profile very similar to my nose to coconut which again I feel the Labdanum is to blame.

Todays scent of the day! To try Flor de Muerto had been on my to do list for a long time and I was finally able to do so. My review/ opinion is based on the 2021 scent however. I love this. Its a beautiful soft floral scent. I cant quite pin my finger as to which flower it is possibly some lily? that gives the scent its main profile but I could be totally wrong! While the scent is named after the beautiful Flor de Muerto (Marigolds) this doesn't really smell at all like them- Marigolds don't have a floral scent in the traditional sense, its more of a spicy green scent, and depending on the variety there is a reason why its called " Flor de Muerto (Flower of the Dead)" Than the fact its used in altars for deceased... Currently I am debating whether to get a back up bottle because I really, really like this! It doesn't have strong throw, and its scent is also soft/ toned down that I don't think even if it did most people would find it offensive. It also doesn't last hours on my skin but lasts much longer on clothes.

I love the scent of violets so this is a hit for me. While it says it also has spanish moss Im not really getting very much of it, and instead feels like ( to me at least), a violet solo note which I absolutely love. It doesn't have very strong throw, its a more close to skin scent and doesn't last as long as other blends last but overall its beautiful and may be backup bottle worthy for me. The scent itself is sweet, powdery and a bit soapy like floral soap but not in a bad way ;I feel violets are very commonly used as fragrance components for shampoos and soaps which is why soapy comes to mind. If you have ever smelled " Royal Violets by Agustin Reyes " Agua de violetas/ Colognia de Violetas its a very similar violet note.

Have you ever smelled the Nag Champa incense by the brand Satya (The one in the blue box)? This smells very reminiscent of it so if you know the one and smelled it you can get an idea of what this will smell like. I don't really get any lavender at all, but I do get the sugared violets that come in waves and the champaca for sure. The rose blends in with the patchouli too (which isn't very potent at all) and overall this smells really, really lovely and it does have some lasting power, I can smell it HOURS after applying a small amount, and has medium throw.

Got this as a frimp with one of my purchases. The oil is very dark its spooky cool, appropriate I feel for both its name and theme. As for the scent itself its an aquatic incense type scent. At first I was very confused because I had read the reviews where many folks said they got grapefruit from it and I personally get none from it. As I said its more of an aquatic incense scent for me. I'd definitely say it has Opium in it. I have an imp of Event Horizon and they both not only look equally dark (the oils appearance) but have the same sweet/bubblegummy type incense note in them that I feel is Opium. Apart from this I get a bit of salt and seaweed and maybe ozone or some sort of citrus but I am unsure of which so I can't say Its grapefruit. Out of the many aquatics I have tried its one of my favorites, and actually favor it over C'thulu.

Hello I wanted to ask if anyone has ever found a scent similar to BPALS, GC Nefertiti. I love that scent but unfortunately its discontinued now and have been unable to find a full size bottle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help! Thank you!

I have not! I will search for an imp to try it out thank you !

Ooh when they wrote "electric howl of dazzling spring blossoms" they weren't kidding! In the vial I get a sharp green scent, almost peppery. Something very reminiscent to one of the notes within Queen Mab's Lace and within the 2019 Pink Moon vial I have .Poppy perhaps? or maybe crushed grass or maybe its Carnation? Its hard to tell. The most prominent of the flower notes I get though is Lily, with Lilac and Freesia right along side it and the musk. On application its a very clean floral scent. I want to say its the musk that gives it this sense. A little goes a long way because its very potent fresh but it tends to fade rather quickly too unfortunately. When I compare the scent on my skin to that of the bottle wet its much more fresh and lush while on the skin it mellows down. I want to say there is Narcissus too that comes out as it dries and maybe perhaps a touch of Orris too? Its absolutely beautiful though and if you looking for a clean/ freshly out the shower type floral I recommend this!

This was a frimp from the lab with one of my purchases. So glad I was sent it else I wouldn't have selected it for myself. I'm not very big on florals feeling that they're often too strong for my taste or find them too artificially smelling. With typically any jasmine note my nose perceiving it as astringent rather than pleasant sadly 😕 . When I first tried Nyx this was the case too however after letting it age the jasmine began to get a bit more subtle, the rose began to show itself more with the touch of myrrh giving it just that little something to round off the entire scent. I can smell all three notes clearly with each scent coming in as layers, instead of combining.

Oblivion. I love everything about this scent from its wicked green color, to its name and of course its scent. I don't like to gender scents but I know it helps a lot of folk when deciding whether they want to try a scent or not so with that said I would say this is more of a masculine scent than female. To start off, Oblivion was sent to me in a free imp with one of my orders and whoo am I glad that It was, had it not been for this I probably wouldn't have ever tried this scent. Salvation found in darkness beyond darkness, the blessed sleep of nothingness. Dark musk, wood spice, labdanum, patchouli, dark African woods, and saffron. Its scent description really helps evoke the way this scent makes me feel when I wear it. Its a scent that gently envelopes you and in a strange way comforts you like a gentle hug. Its silage isn't very strong so it tends to keep closer to the skin with my body heat causing it to release its aroma in gentle waves I catch here and there as I go about my day. It also doesn't last a whole day either. Id say maybe 2-3 hours on me at the most unfortunately. I certainly get the dark musk right off the bat from a straight sniff from the bottle as well as a woody scent that I would say are the African woods. The patchouli is there too but its very minimal so if you dislike patchouli I wouldn't be too concerned because its just a slight hint to give depth and warmth to the scent. The saffron is also there, but it blends very well with the other notes that if your not a fan of it, I would say to again also not let that keep you from trying it out. I'm not sure what wood spice is but I speculate that it could be a sharp little something you get when you take a whiff straight from the vial a sharp peppery something though not spicy like cinnamon or clove. I don't get any labdanum in the bottle, however on application things change a little. Wet on the skin the scent stays pretty much the same, however as it dries everything begins to tone down and begins to get softer, slightly more powdery would be the best way I could describe it, though not powdery in a baby powder sense, just softer. The musk calms down as well as the spice and the labdanum comes out more and blends with the african woods that are ultimately what give the scent its body and depth. Not much saffron at this point. I love this scent it may very well become my signature scent. I could write a whole page about it, but I shall digress and instead say If you like woody, cologney musky type scents give this one a try. Its clean smelling doesn't morph like crazy, its only downside is it doesn't last too long but if you slather it on it tends to help with this.
