Snake Oil with sugar cane, frankincense, champaca, opoponax, labdanum, and hyssop.
Snake Oil was one of my first creations, one of the original BPAL scents, and is as bound up with my own history as it is with the history of Black Phoenix. It is the scent I wore on my wedding day, the scent I wore while giving birth to my child, and it is as much a part of me as my own eyes, breath, or limbs.
Snake Oil has shed its skin, and is back — now with vintage patchouli and dark, rich, aged vanilla absolute. Snake Oil is our signature scent, our first perfume: deep, rich, earthy notes swirled with vegetal musks, sugared vanilla bean, and dark spices.

Requires a little aging. At first it smells like windex. Give it a couple months or so, and that delicious creamy Snake Oil blends and anchors the floating mosses and olive leaf. This is my first moss-heavy scent, so I’m finding it difficult differentiating between them. The olive leaf, however has its lovely characteristic green dusty powder scent that I so enjoy. For those who are turned off by powders, this one is not cloying. Generally, I find powders to be noxious, but olive leaf defies the odds. I imagine the sea moss is what gives this scent a salty tang. It’s quite amazing how BPAL truly captures the spirit of concepts and suspends them in perfume oil.
Overall, a salty, mossy scent rounded out beautifully by our beloved Snake Oil.
