BPAL Madness!

Testing a rested but not aged lab imp. 
 

First applied— a glowing citrus smell like a big beautiful ball of light. Maybe some lemongrass, lemon? Along with it is a honey note and a light wine scent. 

 

Dry— light rose backed up by a little myrrh, a slinky one not a gritty one. 
 

Wafting around is a gentle dry rose and resin with a little bit of honeyed wine but I am not sure many who smell it on you will even recognize that it is wine. 
 

This is beautiful and rose lovers must try this! I don’t generally wear rose scents but will treasure the imp.

I received this as a frimp in 2022 with my BPAL order (an Imps Ears pack). I wasn't too sure what to think at first but I find it really lovely and would like to get a bottle.

 

In the Imp and wet I can really smell honey, like long before I started developing any kind of sense for notes and before I looked up common classical ingredients of Kyphi, I was sure I smelled honey. There's a lot more to it but that's quite notable, it's not super sweet though. Just. Golden. Warm.

 

I can smell myrrh too, because I'm familiar with myrrh from making my own incense blends. This is apparent wet but becomes more apparent when dry. The honey fades a bit but is still there.

 

I do get a wine smell but it's like. Honeyed wine. And I only picked that out after looking up classical ingredients of Kephi, so it may or may not be in there.

 

I'm not sure what else, there's definitely more to it, after reading some of the other reviews I think maybe there's some rose, there's something either floral or plant-like in there, it's not just resinous myrrh and honey, but I am not knowledgeable enough to tell you what else is in this. It's honeyed incense with some additional elements and it is so very lovely to my nose.

 

After six or seven hours it's faded to be mostly an incense kind of maybe slight rose/wine but mostly it's the myrrh now, but even that's faded a fair amount. Kind of spiced? Still lovely.
