Exquisitely melancholy. The background scent to an ancient exequies. Heavy, dark and floral: a blend of roses, with a touch of amber and musk.
Viens sur mon coeur, âme cruelle et sourde,
Tigre adoré, monstre aux airs indolents;
Je veux longtemps plonger mes doigts tremblants
Dans l’épaisseur de ta crinière lourde;
Dans tes jupons remplis de ton parfum
Ensevelir ma tête endolorie,
Et respirer, comme une fleur flétrie,
Le doux relent de mon amour défunt.
Je veux dormir! dormir plutôt que vivre!
Dans un sommeil aussi doux que la mort,
J’étalerai mes baisers sans remords
Sur ton beau corps poli comme le cuivre.
Pour engloutir mes sanglots apaisés
Rien ne me vaut l’abîme de ta couche;
L’oubli puissant habite sur ta bouche,
Et le Léthé coule dans tes baisers.
À mon destin, désormais mon délice,
J’obéirai comme un prédestiné;
Martyr docile, innocent condamné,
Dont la ferveur attise le supplice,
Je sucerai, pour noyer ma rancoeur,
Le népenthès et la bonne ciguë
Aux bouts charmants de cette gorge aiguë
Qui n’a jamais emprisonné de coeur.

Come, lie upon my breast, cruel, insensitive soul,
Adored tigress, monster with the indolent air;
I want to plunge trembling fingers for a long time
In the thickness of your heavy mane,
To bury my head, full of pain
In your skirts redolent of your perfume,
To inhale, as from a withered flower,
The moldy sweetness of my defunct love.
I wish to sleep! to sleep rather than live!
In a slumber doubtful as death,
I shall remorselessly cover with my kisses
Your lovely body polished like copper.
To bury my subdued sobbing
Nothing equals the abyss of your bed,
Potent oblivion dwells upon your lips
And Lethe flows in your kisses.
My fate, hereafter my delight,
I’ll obey like one predestined;
Docile martyr, innocent man condemned,
Whose fervor aggravates the punishment.
I shall suck, to drown my rancor,
Nepenthe and the good hemlock
From the charming tips of those pointed breasts
That have never guarded a heart.
Red musk and sweat-damp golden skin musk with labdanum, golden amber, nutmeg, tobacco absolute, black orchid, and hemlock accord.
Insatiable lust, unending vigor! A truly carnal, energetic men’s blend: vanilla and amber with juniper, rosewood and white pine.
Antediluvian, sacred metal, glowing red musk, blessed frankincense, and antiqued amber.
The Witchblade perfume was created to layer seamlessly with Sara Pezzini’s scent, and is made to be worn with all of the future Black Phoenix scents inspired by Witchblade wielders.

Really the perfume of my dreams, cinnamon and patchouli being two of my favorite scents. My current go-to for sure, just so delicious and I get a lot of compliments on it. It has an effortlessness to it without being unremarkable or boring.

I received this as an imp years ago. I loved it all by itself. But then I paired it with Kobold Barista, and it was like MAGIC. The smell is Autumn, just before Halloween, with carved pumpkins and leaves skittering down the streets. Sin has a lovely punch of cinnamon, and feels a bit wild and wicked.
Maureen Redwine –
Fantastic scent. As soon as I tried it from the imp, I knew it would be my signature scent. The amber seems to stand out from the other scents, but doesn’t overpower them. My FWB also really loves this scent on me.

It’s simple, not too impressive in my opinion. It’s mostly amber and cinnamon. Becomes more sandalwoody as it dries.
When dry, it does become quite pleasantly smokey, dark and sexy. But as I said, it isn’t a scent that strikes me as particularily interesting, although it is pleasant enough,

I received this as an imp and it has quickly replaced my beloved and preferred scent, Snake Oil. If you love Snake Oil then you’ll probably be enamored with Sin. This wraps me in a swirl of delicious earthy sexiness and I never want it to let go. I really would love to see this in a bath oil and/or hair gloss.

This has been my favorite BPAL scent that I’ve tried so far. It smells sexy and lasts throughout the day. I was recently complimented on how good I smelled while wearing it.

Dusty and dank. Makes me wanna strap on a corset and hit the goth club.

This is my characteristic personal scent. I received an imp many, many years ago – 2007 or 2006 – and wore it one night to a party where I danced with a tall and beautiful stranger who nuzzled my neck and pronounced it divine. I’ve worn it ever since. Spicy and deep, earthy and heady, it reminds me of Moroccan oil. Very, very sexy. Cinnamony.

I love this scent. It smells of church to me, or a dark, wood paneled room with lingering incense and flickering candles. A little heavy, but warm and inviting. I love the spice and heat in the scent.

In the bottle: Incense and cherry coke.
Wet: Incense.
Dry down: The cinnamon starts to come forward, the sandalwood and patchouli (what comprises the “incense” smell, I’m guessing) are distinguishable from one another, and the amber ties everything together with sweet, powdery warmth.
Fully dry: The amber comes to the fore, and everything else makes up a warm, spicy background.
Excellent fragrance! Easily paired with others; something I strongly suggest you experiment with (Blood Kiss ans Sin is my favorite combo so far).

As I adore the name, I’m happy to report that I really loved this perfume. I’m usually a little leery of anything with patchouli in the description, because patchouli can reeeeally go either for good or ill with my personal tastes. If you have similar concerns, I’d encourage you to try this scent anyway. Even to my sensitive nose, the patchouli in this blend is very mild, just the perfect amount to lend a certain smokiness without overwhelming the cinnamon. Now, as I love cinnamon, I was hoping that I would smell it quite strongly in this perfume. The first couple of weeks, I didn’t; but as it’s aged, the cinnamon smells stronger to me. So if you’re a cinnamon fan, give this a whirl for sure. I like this scent enough to wear it year-round; I think it’s the kind of scent that, if it agrees with you, could become a kind of “signature” perfume.

I’m surprised by the lack of reviews there are on this particular perfume oil. Sin is certainly my favorite perfume oil thus far. It has such a sexy aroma. Everyone who has ever caught a wiff of this asks me what I’m wearing and compliments on how wonderful it smells. I hope you never discontinue this one.
Gloame –
Not my favorite. It’s definitely a sexy scent, but the cinnamon overwhelms on me. If you wear cinnamon well and want a sexy scent, this is a great one to try.
Patchouli, cinnamon, dirty weekends.

Rich and heady – Sin has great staying power and good sillage. It is a decadent mix of woods, spices and sweetness that is potent and alluring. When I was skin testing the fragrance, a sight-impared man got onto the elevator with me and told me that whatever I was wearing smelled wonderful and delicious. It certainly makes a positive impact.
Victoria –
Sin. A rich, heady trip into decadence. Lush and warm from the amber and deepened by a spicy patchouli. The patchouli, thankfully, isn’t overpowering but just enough to give the impression of lingering incense. The cinnamon notes are subtle at first but carry through after a little while on the skin -reminiscent of ‘Red Hot’ candies.
