    Sharp, aquatic, and salty- Lightning is an ocean lover’s dream. Needless to say, it’s my all time favorite BPAL scent so far! It’s one I tend to ration because I like it so much, however I’m working on wearing it more often!

    I really like this one! It has a fresh, watery, citrus-like smell, like a nice clean person ready to go somewhere nice. It’s definitely pretty summery; as a Florida local, it reminds me of weekend daytrips and looking out at the sunset on the Gulf. This is one I’ll probably get a full size of (I got the imp).

    One of my absolute favorites. I got this as a frimp and didn’t expect much, but BOY was I wrong. It truly smells like lightning fresh on the skin, something clean, wet, and sharp. Once it starts to fade it makes me think of a waterfall. It’s a fresh, juicy scent; I catch something akin to lemon or ginger, but it’s subtle. A definite recommendation for fans of fresh, “water” perfumes.

    I received this as an imp (aka sample) and I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this scent when I first looked it up on the website. When a perfume is described as “watery,” “oceanic,” or “aquatic” I just think of the Calvin Klein scents that girls used to wear in high school. Boy, was I wrong. Upon opening the imp, you do get that sort of aquatic scent note but there’s so much more! A sharpness that is hard to explain and underlying notes of lilies and maybe lemon or bergamot? On my skin, this scent is divine and wears beautifully. It starts off very sharp, bursting with juicy watery notes and citrus, this cools down and while it’s still the main scent, the soft floral and supporting citrus notes come through. I live in the pacific northwest so I can best describe it as the moment when it starts to rain but the sun is still shining through the clouds. In this scenario, this storm would be happening over a lake full of lily pads next to a grove of bergamot and lemon trees. I wore Sunflowers in high school and this is vaguely reminiscent of that scent. I will be purchasing a large bottle!

    Beautifully clean and fresh but with personality. Wore it out on a rainy day and it felt perfect.

    I call this the Disney perfume because it smells like a combination of the aromatic aspects of the ride Soarin’ and a perfume sold at Epcot by the name of Leila. It’s very aquatic, especially right out of the bottle, but doesn’t smell too much like hand soap. I won’t be keeping this imp for me, but it certainly works as a sharp, light, fresh fragrance.

    One of my favorite scents! It smells so clean and almost just like water to me. Definitely one of the best aquatics I’ve tried. Something I will be keeping in my collecting and reordering when I run out.

    This is a great spring scent that reminded me of a water lillies.

    Citrus meets aquatic. It might sound strange, but it’s a grand combination. My skin usually prefers warm notes, so aquatics can be hit or miss with me. And citrus generally smells good but fades quickly on me. Somehow, mixing the two fixes both things. The citrus scent makes this perfume clean and refreshing and not too…uh, blue…at all. The aquatic scent is in the background and simply keeps the smell clean and refreshing. And the citrus didn’t fade out of the scent. The mixture stayed just as it was and lasted all day. I highly recommend this one.

    Another imp, another fantastic scent. In the imp it’s sharp and refreshing. I accidentally spilled a little on my fingers while I was opening it, and now I can’t stop smelling them. Ooops.

    This scent reminds me of running out to get laundry off the line outdoors because a storm is rolling in and the first drops have suddenly splattered down. It has a clean, sharp, watery aroma. I wouldn’t characterize it as a marine scent, but rather one of summer rainstorms.

    So refreshing. This was the first aquatic scent I tried, and I rather like it. I usually wear something woody and warm, but this is a very nice change.

  12. unicorngoth –

    I was very intrigued by the description and decided to give this a try. I was pleasantly surprised! It has a definite zing to it and has strong ozone notes. Definitely unisex. I’d give it a 5/5 if it had stronger marine notes. Worth trying if you want something unusual.

  13. Gloame –

    Smells like spring cleaning. Very fresh and sharp. Doesn’t work for me, but it’s a good scent if you like aquatics.

    Unisex, aquatic, room scents, summer.

    I’m not 100% sold on this in both wet and dry form. It is very sharp and clean when wet, and as it dries it starts to smell like pine, at least… on me it does.

  • The Black Tower Perfume Oil

    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.
