Say that the men of the old black tower,
Though they but feed as the goatherd feeds,
Their money spent, their wine gone sour,
Lack nothing that a soldier needs,
That all are oath-bound men:
Those banners come not in.
There in the tomb stand the dead upright,
But winds come up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake.
Those banners come to bribe or threaten,
Or whisper that a man’s a fool
Who, when his own right king’s forgotten,
Cares what king sets up his rule.
If he died long ago
Why do you dread us so?
There in the tomb drops the faint moonlight,
But wind comes up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake.
The tower’s old cook that must climb and clamber
Catching small birds in the dew of the morn
When we hale men lie stretched in slumber
Swears that he hears the king’s great horn.
But he’s a lying hound:
Stand we on guard oath-bound!
There in the tomb the dark grows blacker,
But wind comes up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake.
A sepulchral, desolate scent. Long-dead soldiers, oath-bound; the perfume of their armor, the chill wind that surges through their tower, white bone and blackened steel: white sandalwood, ambergris, wet ozone, galbanum and leather with ebony, teak, burnt grasses, English ivy and a hint of red wine.
A brace of loaded pistols
He carried night and day;
He never robbed a poor man
Upon the king’s highway;
But what he’d taken from the rich,
Like Turpin and Black Bess,
He always did divide it
With the widow in distress.
Stand and deliver! Vetiver with gardenia, blood red rose, night-blooming jasmine, a dash of cinnamon and a faint hint of leather

True, perfect golden light, refined into an incomparably glorious scent.

This smells like what I imagine Peter Steele smelled like.

I ordered this 100% because the reviews were pretty much 50/50 and I knew I wanted to try new things so lessgo, basically. I really like this scent.
On the whole BPAL scents have so much staying power over other perfumes/oils I’ve tried but I think Brimstone stays even longer than some of their other scents.
I like how sharp this smells when freshly applied. It softens with time and it’s just… I really like it but I can’t explain it. Buy the Imp. Try it yourself and see how it smells on /you/.
This has a very nice androgynous smell to it. My partner and I both really like to wear this (I’m genderfluid and he’s masc). I honestly debated it for a bit but I will be buying a full bottle when I can. 10/10 would recommend.

I swear it smelt different (i.e. much more pleasant) when I tried it on a few days ago, as it was on my shortlist of potential keepers – I think I will have to keep coming back to this one…

This is my idea of what hell smells like – it’s utterly horrific! It makes me smell of sulphur, bleach, and furniture polish. It’s not something for everyday wear, more for very special and specific purposes such as foul mood catharsis and/or blitz-cleaning my home.

Everyone gather round the campfire for some spooky stories! Punch to the nose if you smell it directly, but calms down a lot to a very pleasant smolder after a minute or two. Absolutely wonderful combined with others, like Miskatonic University which to me brings the essence of roasting marshmallows and sipping coffee while the small campfire burns, and everyone’s wet shoes are drying by it. Or with Gomorrah, which brings a lovely floral element to it, making a pleasant and rich (sophisticated? Would wear to dinner) perfume that lasts through dancing. All in all this one’s going on the list. For a girl like me who doesn’t like anything too simple, it’s perfect.

On me this is a bold scent but not overpowering. On my skin, the scent is fantastic, and it takes a long time to fade. Earthy, a little smokey, definitely dark. After a long shift (12 hrs), I could still smell it at my wrist, though it didn’t have any carry after that long. Definitely getting a full bottle. Or two.

With a name like Brimstone, I didn’t have much hope of this being a wearable scent on me, with my finicky chemistry, but it’s actually quite lovely. Wet, it’s super smokey and burnt, but it dries down to a lovely cedar+patchouli. It’s woody and warm and lovely. A nice layering scent!

If you are looking for a burned pine scent then this is the perfume for you. It is very potent and sharp in the imp and smells of a burning pile of pine wood. Not sure if I’ll be wearing this one but definitely happy to own it.

Potent and fascinating, with good staying power. I’m guessing at notes of pine tar, dry wood, incense, and dark musk. This one is too unique to miss! Not something I’ll wear often, but I really like it on my male partner.
