The Black Tower Perfume Oil
Select Options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageSay 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.

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.
