Sexy, smooth. The patchouli is very soft, tobacco is light (for which I am glad) and the cashmeran and amber are a perfect background for them both. I can't wait to see how this ages.

Quite a difference in thoughts on this blend. Mokey is a soft but distinct scent, I can't even begin to pick the notes apart. I don't get any soap, although it's very much a clean scent, it's also complex, and absolutely lovely. A soft, unique floral. That's the best way to describe it. Cherishing my bottle, for sure.

Wow. In the bottle and wet on my wrist, this is a deep, lush pine forest, just after rain. As it dries, it's as if you walk through the forest into a magical media with berries and hot Elves lounging in the spring sunshine. There is a touch of herbs, and then musk and honey sprinkled through out. This needs to be worn whilst stomping through the woods, or playing in the park. So glad I took a chance and grabbed up a bottle on my last order. Love it!

This reminds me of Lady Una, which happens to be one of my most beloved blends, ever. Sweet, creamy, just a whiff of floral-what I smell in the bottle is how it stays on my skin. Very light, soft.

In the bottle: creamy jasmine Wet: now it's vanilla-y jasmine, sweetness and a hint of anise. Dry: a soft, vanilla jasmine, with just enough sugar and anise to soften. This is delicate and sweet. Jasmine is one of my favorite flowers, but this is the first BPAL jasmine I think I can wear well. I think it will age well, too.

I wanted to love this. A white, ethereal blend, it smelled so lovely and delicate in the bottle. But I amped the moss, and could smell nothing but that. My biggest lesson of Bpal-my chemistry can sabotage a beautiful scent!

Lyonesse is a warm, well balanced oil. Echoing other reviews. Yes-this is a 'golden' scent. I feel it is so well balanced, that it is difficult to pry the notes apart. But, I get mostly soft ambers, swirled with vanilla over the backdrop of musk, and a sweetness that rounds it all out, without being cloying. The dry down is the most pleasing to me, because wet this oil can be a little strong.

I purchased a bottle of Iole, without so much as a sniff of it. However, I'm a big fan of jasmine, and all the other notes sounded intriguing. Bottle: sticky sweet fig, heaps of jasmine, and the faintest breath of everything else Wet on skin: jasmine first, fig second, sandalwood pops out a bit Dry on skin: the amber comes out slightly, vanilla is just barely there Hour later: there's the oak and leather! Jasmine has calmed down, fig and sandalwood are the star now Overall: a lovely scent, sensual and interesting.
