A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail:
And ‘mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:
And ‘mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight ‘twould win me
That with music loud and long
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed
And drunk the milk of Paradise.Through sunlit caves of ice, roses unfurl amidst dancing waves of serpentine opium smoke and amber tobacco, golden sandalwood, champaca, tea leaf, sugared lily, ginger, rich hay absolute, leather, dark vanilla, mandarin, peru balsam, and Moroccan jasmine.

Right out of the bottle, it smells like a spicy herbal, with a leather note in there too.
I’m not normally one for sweet scents, but this is sweet without being gourmand, and it’s miraculously well balanced. It’s warm from the vanilla and tonka, but the sage comes through as a cooling note. This isn’t kitchen sage either, like the vanilla it’s not a gourmand/culinary but tied in with the patchouli it comes across as walking into a new-age shop. There’s a smokey/incense-like note mid-dry down too.
It’s one of the very few perfumes I’ve smelled that I’d call “sultry;” it’s addictive, and the first day I wore it I kept shoving my wrist in my face to smell it all afternoon. The sweeter notes lasted HOURS on my wrists, and behind each ear/on my neck the herbal/spicy/leather notes lasted nearly as long. She’s a sweet, subtly dangerous desert creature dressed in leather, with the cold blade of sage hiding under the softness. This is definitely one I’ll reorder!

At first the Snake Oil and tonka are most noticable, but after a few minutes the leather and sage become more appararent. Long-lasting and absolutely gorgeous! One of my favorite BPAL scents of all time!

Wet on me, Western Diamondback is an even sweeter Snake Oil, which was not what I was expecting from dry components like sage, leather and sandalwood. So, tonka, leather and Snake Oil at first, and it’s gorgeous. If you like these ingredients, you can hardly go wrong here. The sandalwood and sage help keep the balance, but on my skin they stay well in the background. Gradually the leather and friends fade away and I’m left with Snake Oil. My favorite of the Snake Pit so far.

A quick little update… Western diamondback is still a delightful scent! But, it does dry you out. After a week of wearing it behind my ears and my wrists everyday, my skin was just devastated! Lots of peeling and dryness. It could just be *my* skin though… and I got around this by putting down vaseline before I added the scent–thankfully, this actually makes it last longer too! So, just be aware of this if you’re living in a dry climate or have very dry skin like I do. Still one if my favorite scents though! Even if it does have a bite. 😉

I’ve been wearing this scent for a little over a week so I could really try to put my finger on a good description. When wet on the skin, the first scent is a very, very strong leather base that sort of covers up everything but the tonka. Then, once it dries, the scent becomes more of a dusty (as in lots of dirt on a road dusty, not old house dusty) snake oil sweet. Also, the scent lingers for hours and hours! Very long lasting. A good, outdoorsy but still sweet and sensual smell. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is because I wish the sage and sandalwood were more recognizable.

So satisfying! Tonka & Snake Oil are an ideal pairing; serpentine sweetness coiled around a leather, sage & sandalwood base. Western Diamondback is a real pleasure.
