    Black Moon

    I haven't broken this one out in ages...what is wrong with me!!!??? This is an amazing floral blend. I can't even pick out the individual notes. If you love florals this is your baby!

    A Savage Veil, Severe and Strong

    I adore bpal's plum notes with my whole ❤ I also love their tobbaco notes. This scent is such an amazing combo of the two it almost....nay, it DOES bring me to tears. This is a warm, soft plum, resinous witout being sharp, beauty. It's gothic without being in your face. It's not too fruity but not too tobacco/patchouli. It's absolutely perfect.

    Fresh, Fruity Florals

    I LOVE the wild plum note in The Witch Queen (Stardust) Wild plum, red musk, tuberose, calla lily, heliotrope, pimento, ylang ylang and beeswax beneath a dark haze of sinister purple-hued incense smoke.

    Please help me find a signature GC scent

    The Witch Queen from the Stardust line is a huge gc floral/incense favorite of mine. Notes: Wild plum, red musk, tuberose, calla lily, heliotrope, pimento, ylang ylang and beeswax beneath a dark haze of sinister purple-hued incense smoke.

    The Tell-Tale Heart

    Dragon's blood, cocoa and musk with a sprinkling of pepper. It all blends together so nicely. Dragon's blood heavy scents aren't usually my thing, but this one is so pretty!

    Do You Like Clowns?

    Lilith has been watching Drag Race with me since she was teething, and she has worked with us at every Drag Con. She loves filming promo videos with Tom for the Nobodies events. She loves watching drag makeup tutorials, UNHhhh, and Alaskas videos, and one of her goals in life is to pull off a reveal like Violet Chachkis tartan runway look on the first day of school. So when she heard that Bob the Drag Queen was looking for a little girl for a comedy video, she was all over it. She loves Bob, she loves drag, and she loooooooooves being a big funny ham on stage. Im the worst stage mom in all of Los Angeles history, and she has no headshots and no reelso I sent over a funny photo of Lilith jetlagged and one of her Nobodies vids, and somehow she got the gig. It was one of the best days of her life. Bob and the crew were incredibly nice and friendly, and Lilith had the time of her life. To say thank you, she drew this picture for Bob of the two of them together on a bus bench. Raspberry ice cream and a smear of black cherry lip gloss. Literally exactly like the description. A little acrid in the bottle, but once on my skin it turned into a beautiful fruity vanilla a bit reminiscent of my beloved Monsterbait Closet. The vanilla doesn't go plasticy for me and the fruit isn't overwhelming. A foodie win!

    Papa Monster

    This is all cherry and grape ring pops with a hint of vanilla frosting. Not getting any licorice. Sticky sweet candy, like jolly ranchers. A fun scent but I'll be content with my decant.

    Blood Kiss

    So pretty! Definitely want a bottle. The vanilla and honey are the standout notes on me with cherry, wine and musk backing them up. Vetiver was VERY present wet, but disappeared when dry.this smells edible without being too gormand.

    Bestla

    I like this! It's definitely got a body/skin element, but the powdery amber mixed with rose mixed with spicy fig on top of the animalic oud.....to me this is gorgeous! A great balance of all the notes.

    Ops

    I don't get any citrus from this. It is spicy oatmeal cookie. Very yummy, but if you aren't into foodies stay away.

    Hurðaskellir

    Wet it starts with a spicy menthol blast. Dry down the carnation sticks around with a hint of minty sharpness. I love carnation scents, and this one is unique and great if you need a cool yet spicy atmosphere.

    Pediophobia

    Gorgeous carmely vanilla. Like lightly toasted marshmallows. I love this so much!

    Raven Moon

    OMG! This is the perfect spicy musk for me! A seemless blend. I can die happy now.

    The Manuscript

    Dusty leather with the sweetness of parchment. And a hint of chill. Very wearable!

    The Wolf and the Rattlesnake

    A bit powdery with light musk. Candy. A slight floral sweetness. Cedar? This one is so odd! I like it better when it drys down and all the above elements blend together. A keeper? Not sure yet.

    Mrs. Bunce

    All notes that love me: amber-check, tobacco leaf - check, sandalwood - check, sweet musk - check. The only unknown was hay sugar and it seems to fit right in the group. The only negative is that her throw is low on me. Otherwise, she is a glowing, warm, musky tobacco scent that makes me feel warm and snuggly.

    Tobacco scents

    Throwing out there that Mrs. Bunce is a great tobacco scent as well. And Sloth seven word story.

    Achluophobia

    Fear of darkness. Oppressive, stifling, suffocating, blinding: black patchouli, tobacco absolute, opoponax, and inky black musk. SO VERY DARK! Best way to describe this is: Black Silk's older angrier brother. You know. The one who threatens to beat you up if you pick on his sister.....and MEANS it. Added some Snake Oil to smooth things out and it is glorious!

    The Lion

    THIS is the amber I've been looking for! Spicy, golden, glorious. Amber is one of my favorite notes. I can't believe it's taken me this long to find The Lion. Definitely going to be a big bottle in the future.
  20. The first time I tried this as a frimp from the lab it was way too sharp for me, but I was very much into honey notes at the time. Flash forward a couple of years and I'm much more into woods.A lovely swap partner decided she wanted to swap her brand new bottle, and I decided to give AM another chance.....and so glad I did!The teak does start the show with a blast of bitter woods, but it soon settles down into the most comforting vanilla tobacco ever. Definitely worth the second chance.

    Funerary Papyri

    So gorgeous! I was hoping for something along the lines of Mr. Ibis and this does not dissapoint. The reeds are a beautiful, fresh, green note with the myrrh grounding it and the vanilla cream softening the edges. Bravo, Beth! Another stunning masterpiece! This will probably be my summer go to scent next year.

    Lacus Oblivionis

    Lavender and ylang-ylang holding hands with frankincense coming up behind them and throwing his arms around their shoulders. As it dries down I get a little fig sweetness and a warm resiny goodness from the amber and patchouli. Will most definitely join my comforting scent/sleep scent box.

    Nag Champa scent in a BPAL blend?

    Streets of Detroit (OLLA) is the most nag champa smelling bpal I have ever worn. I think it's the 'motor oil' note.

    Oblivion

    Received this as a frimp from a swap partner. A swap partner who knows me very, very well. First off dark/black musks LOVE me, and I them. Also, I've been discovering that patchouli does as well. In the imp this smells musky and a little herbal. Not promising, but not off putting. Wet on skin it smells a little too bright at first. Maybe the labdanum or saffron? Dry down the musk blooms and melds with the wood spice and African woods. Patchouli adds a rooty, dark element. The whole scent blends together in a deep musky and spicy wood scent. This is dead sexy on me and has become an instant GC favorite. Need a big bottle. My favorite oils are Minotaur, Streets of Detroit and Ninon if that helps anyone who loves those to know Oblivion might be for them.

    Queen Venus with a Hood Striped Gold and Black

    This is rose/resin heaven. At some points in the month the rose is too sharp, but otherwise it is blended well into the amber/musk/patchouli. If you love resins and you love rose this is your ultimate scent.
