A sultry, exotic scent that inspires devious plotting and clandestine affairs. It is a scent painted in artifice, veiled in deceit, and slithering with whispered secrets. Black palm, with cocoa, fig and shadowy wooded notes.

Evocative of the sea’s unplumbed mysteries. Gentle and lovely, but menacing and profound. Coconut, Florentine iris, hazelnut and opalescent white musk.
This haunting, exotic scent is named in honor of the shapeshifting demons from Hindu mythology. Sandalwood with rose and patchouli.
‘Tis said that when
The hands of men
Tamed this primeval wood,
And hoary trees with groans of woe,
Like warriors by an unknown foe,
Were in their strength subdued,
The virgin Earth Gave instant birth
To springs that ne’er did flow
That in the sun Did rivulets run,
And all around rare flowers did blow
The wild rose pale Perfumed the gale
And the queenly lily adown the dale
(Whom the sun and the dew
And the winds did woo),
With the gourd and the grape luxuriant grew.
So when in tears
The love of years
Is wasted like the snow,
And the fine fibrils of its life
By the rude wrong of instant strife
Are broken at a blow
Within the heart
Do springs upstart
Of which it doth now know,
And strange, sweet dreams,
Like silent streams
That from new fountains overflow,
With the earlier tide
Of rivers glide
Deep in the heart whose hope has died —
Quenching the fires its ashes hide, —
Its ashes, whence will spring and grow
Sweet flowers, ere long,
The rare and radiant flowers of song!
A sunlit ancient forest, dotted with wild roses, grape vine, and queenly lilies, clothed in swirls of opium smoke.
The Dark Side of Fire: cinnamon, bitter almond, and neroli. Heavily spiced, torrid, and possibly conflagrant.

Lives up to it’s name. Hard to put a finger on, or describe as any way other than “dark”. Too sweet to quite be called woodsy, too woodsy to quite be called sweet. Makes me think a little bit of a noir office somehow. Lasts me a good few hours.

genuinely my favourite scent, and is usually my signature and/or every day base. It has a subtle sweetness, the cocoa is dark and beautiful. Fades down to a vaguely earthy, woodsy scent that is lovely as well. My absolute favourite purchase from BPAL to date.

This one is cool, spicy, tart and damp earth. Very lovely spring scent!

This one is a morpher. When I first applied it, it hit me very strongly with the cocoa and fig. Very masculine. It settled down pretty quickly, though, and became unisex. The chocolate faded to a background note and the “shadowy wooded notes” came forward. I smelled like a cedar chest doused in chocolate. As the day waned, it changed again. The cedar smell went away and I was left with a comfortable spiciness.
I was torn about what star rating to give this one. I spent the whole day trying to decide if I liked it or not. It’s such an ODD scent. But it does smell exactly as advertised, so it’s on me for being adventurous. I am definitely going to keep the imp and use it… I Liked it well enough not to give it away. …And I can be picky. But I don’t think I’ll buy the bottle. It’s getting four stars because, even though it wasn’t EXACTLY my cup of tea, you have to give BPAL props for creating an utterly unique scent. It would definitely smell good on a guy, or on an adventurous woman who likes chocolate scents. So four stars.

Spicy cocoa and obvious fig in the bottle. Cocoa steps back a bit application and I’m left with something woody, earthy, dark, and just a tiny bit tart. There’s sweetness, but I would not call this one at all foody. There’s something really damp and cool to it.
