Bumping this because I'm in search for more bpal wine scents! I adore the wine note in Nosferatu. I looked over everyone's responses and didn't see Horreur Sympathique mentioned? That one is on my list to try. Soothing System seems like a sure win, but after reading reviews, not so sure. Blood Rose is great if I am in the mood for rose at all. But still would prefer a wine scent without. What I do not care for - Bordello (didn't smell like wine to me at all - just sweet and plum candy). Also, would prefer a scent without leather. Anyway, hoping to revive this thread! Truest or yummiest Red Wine scents? Thanks in advance

My top 5 would be: Snake Oil Midnight Kiss Vixen So Below Red Rose (bptp) Recs would be awesome!

This is one of my favorite scents! I rarely wear it, but I get my hubby to wear it all the time. It is my nuzzle scent. It's warm and inviting, creamy and perfectly sweet, incensey and woody - total perfection.

Nosferatu is one of those intriguing scents that turned me on to bpal in the first place, though I am just now getting the opportunity to try it! The description pretty much sums it up. I got a blast of the lab's wine note, the same herbal note I get in The Apothecary, and dirt. And the combination of these captures Nosferatu and it just works! After slathering it on yesterday evening, I got wafts of it all night and in the morning when I woke up. I love the wet stage, I love the dry stage. Its just such an awesome and unique scent. It's also got me craving more wine and earthy scented bpals.

I'd like to second some of the above suggestions - Sin, Carnal, Vixen, Velvet, and perhaps Eat Me

I love this scent. Its sweet, spicy, sexy, and sophisticated. The clove keeps the rose in check, which can sometimes take over on my skin. It's beautifully blended. This has instantly become one of my favorite bpal scents!

Snake Oil

Voodoo is my perfect scent (totally in love). UNTIL the dry down. Once it has been sitting on my skin for a while, some strange, off putting scent appears. I don't know what the culprit is. Perhaps vetiver? Or maybe a combo of notes. But I need to find more scents like voodoo that wont go rancid on me. This could have been my holy grail ....

Unfortunately, Morocco reminded me of shaving cream - the barbisol one I think. Whatever my dad always used! I couldn't get past that. I really wanted it to be this sexy, desert sort of scent. Not so much.

Thank you lab for this frimp! Thanatos is beautiful. Great for resin lovers! And don't fear the rose - it compliments the scent well and doesn't take over. I kept sniffing my wrist because I have smelled this before, but was having a hard time putting my finger on it. Oh yeah! It smells just like Fred Soll's benzoin resin incense!

I would give Snake Oil and Vixen a try! Those two are my holy grail scents. So glad I discovered them!

This one is such a pretty scent. It's definitely light! Reminds me of Our Lady of Pain's young and innocent little sister. Must be the lavender/patchouli combo! Another from the Fatherhood series that I've tried and loved

Can it be? A Jasmine that works on me?! I like the smell of Jasmine, always have. But this is the first bpal with jasmine that has worked on me. It stayed in check without turning to granny soap! Best way to describe this is a heady floral. It has a perfumey quality to it, like many scents with jasmine or opium seem too. But I'm digging it! This just might be the scent that turns me on to florals

In the bottle and wet on skin - bananas foster! As it dries, the foody note begins to fade into a soft and perfectly sweet incense. I don't get too much Dorian - but it's beautiful nonetheless. Puddin' was spot on with this scent. Love love love

Wow - I was frimped Isle of Demons. Not something I ever would have thought of trying, unless out of pure curiosity. Yet it has easily become a new favorite! It's hard to describe for me. Actually pretty soft - despite the name. It has an incensy vibe for sure, which I love! I might get a hint of floral, but its not the perfumey type that goes soapy. As it dries, it turns perfectly sweet. This one got a compliment from the hubby too. Its a keeper and big bottle worthy!

Bewitched! I find it so uplifting everytime I wear it, and I don't find it to be heavy at all Herbal yet sweet Love it!

Brown Jenkin for the win!!!

Sinner is one of my favorite scents ever. (and wow the notes are spot on with the vamp venom you described! bet it smelled incredible.) I never found a bpal quite like it, but I did find that if you layer Snake Oil lightly with Chimera - something magical happens! And they are very much in that same intoxicating scent family. Maybe if you can acquire a few imps to test first? I really don't think you'll be disappointed though! I haven't smelled it myself, but based on your description I'd suggest layering Oya and Vixen. Couldn't hurt oooh! I have never had the pleasure of testing Oya - but from the looks of it, that sounds divine!

I just realized what perfume this smells just like after it dries on my skin... Versace - Crystal Noir I do love it. I wish more of the smoky & incensey phase lingered (when first applied). It softens up a lot and the coconut & fruit peek through. But all of that nummy, dark & smoky incense disappears. Still really love it though! This is one of those scents I can wear to the office

Eden!

Oh this is soooo good! Smells almost exactly like my MAC MV3 perfume which sadly was discontinued. I've been saving what little bit I had left. This starts out very unisex, but turns sweet and more feminine as it sits on my skin for a while. The leather in this is so sexy. This one has made its way into my top 3!

I love Blockbuster. It's such a comforting scent to me and I love to wear it to bed. Its very warm and softens up quickly upon application. There is definitely cinnamon in there. I can't pinpoint any other notes its so well blended. It reminds me of some of the other conjure scents and its definitely one of my favorites. I want a bottle!

Mircalla, Countess Karnstein and Voodoo! Two of my favorites that majorly amp Clove

Kat Von D Sinner is my favorite perfume ever. I can't imagine how good the other one you mentioned smells! I had many recommendations to try Mme Moriarty. Still doesnt compare to sinner. Sin was another and I do love it, but its pretty heavy on the patchouli. Sinner is so smoky yet sweet and the cinnamon isnt foody, just sexy! Its not real fruity and I dont get a lot of jasmine either. It's just perfection to me! Interested in seeing other recommendations to this!
