Rappaccini’s Garden
Ascending to his chamber, he seated himself near the window, but within the shadow thrown by the depth of the wall, so that he could look down into the garden with little risk of being discovered. All beneath his eye was a solitude. The strange plants were basking in the sunshine, and now and then nodding gently to one another, as if in acknowledgment of sympathy and kindred.

It goes without saying that the Rappaccini’s Garden and Apiary scents do not truly contain poisonous plant materials. Artistic license, my friend. Artistic license.

This is one of my favorite BPAL scents. I have a 5 ml bottle which I purchased in 2007 (I have a bad habit of putting away my stash and forgetting about it), and 14 years later, the scent is as true as ever. Freshly applied, it is sharp and mildly intoxicating, with a eucalyptus note. It fades to something warm and green, with good staying power. An excellent springtime perfume. 5/5

Sharp acerbic scent in the bottle that warms up slightly on the skin and imparts a chypre-like note. Very very lovely green, light scent that’s perfect for a green-fresh spring or summer scent. I actually feel this would be a good unisex scent, but it airs on “pretty.”

On me this scent went to a darker scent fast. The Minty scent faded very quickly, leaving a lot of floral and woods behind. I love the description of this because it is exactly what it smells like, giving the idea that I was lost in a witch’s garden after I apply it

To me this is summer in a bottle. It starts of sharp and almost cool and then it gently fades into a this almost tropical humid scent. There’s earth and green growth there. It’s almost as if they’ve bottled an oncoming summer storm in a lush garden.

This might be my second favorite, next to Black Annis. A classic, clean scent that smells like spruce and tree sap.

This scent is so green! It’s a wonderful spring/summer scent with a lovely balance of new growth and the earth that growth came from. Smells like laying in a garden. I would wear when I want to feel more connected to nature and it’s sunny out.
