    Sturgeon Moon

    smells a bit medicinal. it's smells like green algae infused water and sea weeds, but not salty., maybe a bit planty. It's best to be worn during hot summer days.

    Plague of Frogs

    Soapy clean aquatic. Not getting any rubbery or warty notes. Later it settles into a beautiful powdery soapy cloud.

    The Teapot

    I get mainly mate with a bit of bright bergamot. No jasmine in sight. It's very refreshing and soothing, but doesn't last long.

    Rendezvous at the Bath

    I get a cool cucumber and green tea. I guess the cucumber stands out the most on my skin and the mint is not at all astringent, it's gives off a refreshing/ cool vibe. Short wear length.

    On the Porch in the Rain

    This is such an enthralling feminine perfume! It's lush, not really aquatic, but more like breezy floral bamboo!

    Cordelia

    Cordelia is a green stem floral and sometimes shifts between stale bouquet water and bog water.

    Best BPAL for gym, workout, sports, exercise?

    I never use oil before workout; always after.

    The Candy Butcher (2015)

    I get dark chocolate with undertone of cream, which smells a bit sharpish and sour, but the bitterness of chocolate keeps it in check. Overall it settles into dark chocolate powder with a distant sweet undertone.

    Banded Sea Snake (2016)

    This feels like straight out of the shower SO. It's that type of clean (not soapy clean) smell accompanied by a smidge of SO. Basically, SO took a mossy bath and emerged all clean and shiny and with some snakiness clinging on to him.

    The Isles of Demons

    This smells so lush and soothing. It's a sedated floral joined by faint smoke and musk. Truly unique!

    John Watson

    This soft lime intertwined with linen or tweed or whatever other fabric. This becomes subdued and clean and a bit sour (not really expecting that). 10 minutes later, it develops a sweaty note (cumin)? Reminds me of Eau d'Hermes actually.

    Anteros

    The God of Love Returned and avenger of unrequited love, Anteros is Eros’ brother – one of the Twin Cupids – and was given to Eros by his mother, for without reciprocal affection, love will wither. He wields lead arrows and a hammer of gold, and he wields his weapons to inspire mutual ardor and smite those who spurn love. His scent pierces the heart with glimmering shards of rapture and the sweet ache of passion: throbbing red musk and shimmering chypre with saffron, sweet patchouli, Italian bergamot, red currant, and vanilla bean. This is thick red musk sweetened by currants and vanilla. For a moment i though it has tobacco. One of the few red musk blends that knock my socks off

    50

    This is so gorgeous. It's Lemon Verbena and faint osmanthus. Very refreshing and bright! Later on, the olive leaf appears rendering an oily texture.

    Mad Hatter v1

    So basically, what i get is the famous fougere base, present in Dorian and Villain, plus apple musk (i think). This dries down to an unsweetened fuzzy comforting fougere base; like imagine the released Mad Hatter stripped off the pennyroyal or Dorian stripped of the sugared lemon or Villain stripped of the lime; that's what i get

    Volcano in Springtime

    This is such a happy mood uplifting scent. It's all about the vanilla cream. It's bright and fluffy.

    Geisha in a Green Kimono

    In the decant, i can smell rosemary . Once it hits my skin i can smell the wormwood, but after half an hour all turns into air fresher. was not expecting that.

    Wormwood Field

    Based on the reviews above i was waiting for a biiter shampoo scent, but honestly, i got nothing like that. All i got was some muted green musk with a faint citrus shadow. Pretty disappointing as i was expecting bitter grapefruit pith and herbs

    Mary Read

    This is such an unusual scent. I get on my skin gunpowder and a distant whiff of ocean air. It's truly beautiful and incensy, but not quite. It's one of those unique BPAL oil from the GC line.

    Saw-Scaled Viper

    In the bottle: Hot Tamale candy, not the burning kind. Skin: the oil doesn't sting a bit, but as it fades, it turns powdery and plastic. No sign of SO yet. I think this oil needs some serious aging.

    Streets of Detroit

    I grabbed a bottle when it was restocked for a very short period of time. When it settles on my skin, i get a whiff of a snugly coca-cola fuzzy musk, WHICH i remember vividly smelling already in Satyr. As the oil dries, the myrh comes out and smooths out everything. Really pleasant and comforting.

    Persephone

    Rose always goes foul on my skin. In this blend, i get a powdery rose. No sight of pomegranate.

    Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat

    This reminds me A LOT of Bon Vivant, only instead of strawberry you get minty citrus champagne.

    The Zieba Tree

    Wet on my skin it smells like pickle juice. Then gradually it turns into something clean and soapy. This falls in the category of expensive floral soap scents.

    Jailbait

    Smells like a mix of Pink bubblegum and eucalyptus with the latter taking over and asserting its presence. Can't wrap my head around this unusual combo.

    Tweedledee

    Kumquat creamy popsicle/ bubblegum. Very girly and carefree
