    I agree with Anne's review above!

    It's a dark, almost chewy tobacco scent, with lots of vetiver and pepper buzzing about.

    Very smoky, almost hazy.

    Might need a backup bottle of this, if not simply to reply "the plague of flies" whenever someone asks what perfume I'm wearing.

    I'm new to BPAL, but can I have a shot?

     

    So far, these are my favorites:

     

    1. Le Serpent Qui Danse/Snake Oil (the best vanilla scents ever)
    2. Queen of Sheba
    3. El Dorado
    4. Brisingamen
    5. Pele

    Honorable mentions for Poisoned Apple, Belladonna, and Mary Shelley

     

    Any recommendations for me?

    Looks like you like amber in your scents and aren't afraid of vanilla, if you can do honey you should try "O" which is amber and honey with vanilla. Also, maybe Tamora and The Lion which are lovely amber based scents. Also, check out the notes/reviews for Verdandi, The Fox sisters, Desire, and Beauty the Aggrieved.

     

    Thank you so much! Tamora and Verdandi are now on my list! I really appreciate your suggestions!

    I'm new to BPAL, but I'll give this a shot (I'm really bad at describing myself):

     

    I'm 16 and I live in the American South in a small town, but I want to go to college in a big city. I love city living and traveling to new places; in fact, I'm taking a trip to Italy for my spring break! I love learning about history.

     

    I'm pretty quiet. I used to be really shy, but I've gotten over a lot of my shyness and become more outgoing.

     

    I have a deep fascination with the macabre. Maybe it's because my dad owns a funeral home, but I've always loved mythology, the supernatural and gothic horror, especially the Southern Gothic genre. I love to write my own stories, and I love doing research for the backgrounds of those stories, like researching poisons the murderer would use. Hannibal is my favorite tv show of all time.

     

    On a lighter note, I also love Marvel and DC Comics. I want to someday work as a screenwriter for superhero films.

     

    I hope this was enough info!

    My first review, so please be nice!

     

    I took a whiff out of the vial, and I was instantly in love.

     

    Lots of spicy gardenia, with just enough vanilla to keep it from literally burning my nostrils. Stayed the same wet on my wrists, no problem there whatsoever. Drying, violets start to creep out and cover the gardenina scent some. The vanilla stays creamy the entire time, never fading.

     

    One of my first BPALS, and I need a 5ml right now. This is GORGEOUS.
