BPAL Reviews

Just got a package from voyeurwithwings, whom I just did a swap with. (And an awesome package, at that! This is one seller/swapper I highly recommend.)

Midwinter's Eve '07
A melancholy, deep scent, poignant and brimming with nostalgia. The perfume of sugared plums over a breeze of winter flowers.

Spicy plums, delicious plums! This one's a keeper.

Chanukkiyah
Olive oil, beeswax, glowing amber, sweet sufganiyot, pomegranate, and fig.

I didn't buy this one originally when it first came out because I was a silly girl and skeptical of olive oil as a note. Really, very silly, because this is a lovely, sweet scent.

Bewitched
Deep, luscious green and berry scents that evoke images of woodland witchcraft and the raw power of nature: blackberry, sage, green tea, wild berries and dark musk.

Still a favorite, though I'd like to age up this new imp some.

Carnivale
Bright, intoxicating, hectic notes masking a twisted, corrupted core: sweet wild berry, spicy carnation and heliotrope layered over deep amber and musk.

Alas, I can barely smell it.

Dionysia
Wild plum, pomegranate, raspberry, Siamese benzoin, plum blossom, patchouli, frankincense, and mahogany.

I had such high hopes for this one, but alas it turned out to be sickly sweet. Not the good kind.

Kill-Devil
Sugar cane, molasses, oak wood, and honey.

If pirate booze tasted like this smells, I want to be a pirate!
