BPAL Madness!

Recommended Posts

Crimson and ash-green velvet, leatherbound books, a scattering of ink-dribbled papers, beeswax, dried flowers, faded pipe smoke, mahogany, and oak suffused with warm beams of golden amber and dusted with pale sandalwood.

(Ok I swear to God I'm not just terrible at picking out notes. Maybe I'm just really good at picking scents that will inexplicably conjure up grade school memories?) I digress. This smells so uncannily like scented pencils at first. Kinda generically fruity and pencil shaving-esque wood. On the skin, it opens up a bit and the notes are more discernable. There's a dry woodiness from the oak and sandalwood, beeswax (might be the one from that deer moon duet?), a hint of chewy tobacco, maybe some brown leather, and i still get a bit of a fruity vibe for awhile.... maybe there's red musk in the crimson velvet? It has a very "shut up in the library" feel to it, definitely hits the vibe of the painting. Bookish without being heavy. Not as rich as expected tbh, but I'm not mad about it. Throw and longevity are average on me.
