TAL Scent Recommendations/Comparing TAL Scents to BPAL

[CitizenBree]

Temple of the Resurrected God smells really good. Also, Middle Pillar smells nice too. I tend to use it at night and it's a good comforting night scent. I haven't done actual reviews of these yet, but I will.

Anyone know of a BPAL that smells like TAL Crucible of Courage?

The only blend that reminds me of it is an LE called The Atrocious Attic. I'll test them side by side soon to be sure.

I received a decant of this rare TAL, and I love the scent so much that I'm looking for a non-ritual equivalent. To me the predominant note is a true mango, not too sweet but very aromatic. Reviews have described notes as:

 

Mango

Tropical rose

Ocean

Bitter fruit juices

Musky

Creamy tropical florals

Fermented

Incense

Candle-wax

 

Anything in the BPAL catalog that comes close?

rawgirl, I agree about The Atrocious Attic. Thank you!

Blessing of Isis reminds me, a bit, both of Anne Bonny and of the in-vial and drydown stages of Djinn (the middle part of Djinn, when it's all smoky, is really different).

I layered The Coil with Pumpkin Spice Everything, and the result reminds me a lot of Anthelion.

I'd love to find BPAL recs for love oil 7 and black cherry love oil. TIA!
