The Drowned Man’s Ghost Tries to Claim a New Victim for the Sea
zankoku_zen replied to Dark Alice's topic in Halloweenie
Manly aquatic fougere. Kelp, salt, and opoponax. I'm actually curious to see how mr. zee_zee likes this one. Good throw and wear length. Honestly, I wish more of the BPAL menfolk would try this. It sits in that intersection between a traditional aquatic and a fougere. And to me, this may in fact be a nice introduction for men to get into BPAL. Familiar enough not to spook them away, spooky enough to keep them interested. -
Lavender and dead leaves. As advertised. Good throw and wear length. This is a soft, comforting, autumnal blend.
-
Smoky fir! Actually this makes me think of Yule and Mistletoe more than Halloween. This would have been a great scent for the Yule Lads from last year. Manly. Good throw and wear length.
-
Black leather, musk, and a touch of white florals. NOPE. This is like DeSade but muskier and a touch of white florals. Good throw and wear length.
-
Chocolate, cheap caramel, candy corn, lemon heads, bubblegum, jelly beans, and a touch of lint actually. Good throw and wear length. Weenie detritus.
-
Funny, this is kinda apropos to test to compare to the Ghost of Darius. In this one, again, sticky resins but sweetened up by the presence of dragon's blood resin. Touch of galangal. Good throw and wear length.
-
Thick, syrupy resins. I get myrrh and galbanum. It smells kinda sticky and smoky. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Pumpkin, cardamom, and a touch of fruity orange and mango on wet. More pumpkin spice as it dries down, with a musky undertone.
-
Black fig, oudh, vanilla and patchouli. This one for me is a fig-patchouli blend, and its fruitier and sweeter than I expected. Decadent and strong. Good throw and wear length. I may have to hunt down a bottle.
-
Wheat, hay, nuts and smoky vetiver. It's dark, harvest, smoke and outside. It's gender-neutral to manly on me. Good throw and wear length.
-
Soft blue green musk, and a touch of kelp. This smells oceanic, clean, and comforting. Like a beach at night. Medium throw, good wear length.
-
Rich dark chocolate, musk and a touch of sandalwood. This is a very dark chocolate blend. Foodie, without being sweet. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Perfumey red apple and a touch of patchouli. I get a ton of red apple and apple blossom from this. Fresh, and appley. Medium throw and wear length.
-
This smells like a more citrus version of Spanish Moss. Moss, dirt, citrus and a touch of salt. Not an aquatic per se, but a lovely natural blend. On wet, I smelled an almost black tea note and it kinda lingers through out. Contemplating a bottle as well.
-
Floral green apple and honey. This one is light and sweet, and I'd say it would be very appropriate for a young teenage girl. Good throw and wear length.
-
Caramel, cookies, and a wee touch of apple. This is the most caramel scent ever. Brown sugar and caramel. You know you love it. Good throw and wear length.
-
Rubbery wet paint, stage makeup, dust and something linen like. This is very unpleasant to me. Great throw and wear length. This smells like a murder clown. Like that Clown from American Horror Story: Carnival. Yup, that one.
-
Night cream and roses. This smells like grandma! There's a white cold cream note that is kinda ghostly and kinda nostalgic. Very feminine. Great throw and wear length.

Jeune Femme Nourrissant une Licorne Atmosphere Spray
zankoku_zen replied to LizziesLuck's topic in Atmosphere
Airy green apple and touches of white floral. It's a very green apple blend. I sprayed it on the sheets and mr. zee_zee said it smelled nice, like a fancy hotel. If you want a fancy hotel, give this a whirl. -
Dark chocolate and woodsmoke. It starts off as a chocolate blend, but then the woodsmoke comes out and I think there's a touch of pine in it. It prevents this from being a foodie blend, and just sort of drops it into the manly -forest-type cologne for me honestly. Good throw and wear length.
-
Strawberry, lavender, and a touch of myrrh. It's a pink creamy blend, and the strawberry note in this works really really well. If you were hoping for a super-strawberry BPAL, I'd check this out. It reminds me to Strawberry Moon, and just enough of it to make me think of Strawberry Shortcake dolls. Medium throw and wear length.
-
Sweet fruity blackberries, green leaves and a hint of dry leaves. This one is fruitier and sweeter than I expected. There's an almost red wine note to the blackberries. I am digging this more than I expected. Good throw and wear length.

Dead Leaves, Raw Leather, Bourbon Vanilla, and Clove
zankoku_zen replied to puellacaerulea's topic in Halloweenie
Leather, cloves, and leaf fougere. This one is rugged, and manly and makes me think of Quincy Morris. The leather is definitely that sueded brown leather note. I quite like the addition of clove to it. Good throw and wear length. -
Sugary pumpkin spice with a touch of buttery cream. This one to me was more sugar and more of the spice than actual pumpkin. In the same way that a pumpkin spice latte makes you think of pumpkin, but not because there's real pumpkin it it, but because of the spices associated with it. Good throw and wear length.
-
Pink strawberry candy and pumpkin. Very sweet and candy-like. Medium throw and wear length.
