This one was perhaps the biggest surprise out of my Halloweenie order! I didn’t have any other oils with mint as a main ingredient so this was an automatic add for me, although as I waited for delivery I started to worry that it might end up being toothpaste-y to other people. However, that’s not the case at all - this is absolutely lovely and perfectly blended. The chocolate is a beautiful dark cocoa powder, and the mint is present but not overwhelming (it reminds me a bit of Lush’s Intergalactic if I had to compare?). I don’t get much of a plastic scent but there is a definite warmth holding the whole thing together, which I guess must be the amber. Overall, a really unique and cozy blend! I can see myself wearing this all through the winter.

My first BPAL review, and for one of my favourite scents! I’ve got a second-hand bottle from 2015. This oil is extremely evocative for me - growing up in the UK my parents would often take me to old National Trust stately homes at the weekends for something to do, and this captures the general scent in the air of heavy velvet curtains and old polished wooden furniture. There’s a handful of dry, dry flowers on the surface but the woods are strong and hold the whole thing together. I absolutely love it and wear it whenever I want to feel a bit ghostly and somewhere out of time.
