Les Bijoux Perfume Oil
Select Options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageMy well-beloved was stripped. Knowing my whim,
She wore her tinkling gems, but naught besides:
And showed such pride as, while her luck betides,
A sultan’s favored slave may show to him.When it lets off its lively, crackling sound,
This blazing blend of metal crossed with stone
Gives me an ecstasy I’ve only known
Where league of sound and lustre can be found.She let herself be loved: then, drowsy-eyed,
Smiled down from her high couch in languid ease.
My love was deep and gentle as the seas
And rose to her as to a cliff the tide.My own approval of each dreamy pose,
Like a tamed tiger, cunningly she sighted:
And candour, with lubricity united,
Gave piquancy to every one she chose.Her limbs and hips, burnished with changing lustres
Before my eyes, clairvoyant and serene,
Swanned themselves, undulating in their sheen;
Her breasts and belly, of my vine the clusters,Like evil angels rose, my fancy twitting,
To kill the peace which over me she’d thrown,
And to disturb her from the crystal throne
Where, calm and solitary, she was sitting.So swerved her pelvis that, in one design,
Antiope’s white rump it seemed to graft
To a boy’s torso, merging fore and aft.
The talc on her brown tan seemed half-divine.The lamp resigned its dying flame. Within,
The hearth alone lit up the darkened air,
And every time it sighed a crimson flare
It drowned in blood that amber-coloured skin.Skin musk and honey, blood-red rose, orange blossom, white peach, red apple, frankincense and myrrh.

Defututa Perfume Oil
Select Options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageGood Gods, what a night that was,
The bed was so soft, and how we clung,
Burning together, lying this way and that,
Our uncontrollable passions
Flowing through our mouths.
If I could only die that way,
I’d say goodbye to the business of living.Olive blossom, honey, smoky vanilla, cinnamon, jasmine, sandalwood, and champaca flower.

The Lady of Shalott Perfume Oil
Select Options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageHeard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darkened wholly,
Turn’d to tower’d Camelot.
For ere she reach’d upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.The scent of calm waters just before a raging storm, limned with achingly-beautiful blooms, an icy scent, but somehow warm, and mirror-bright: bold gardenia, crystalline musk, muguet, water blossoms, clear, slightly tart aquatic notes and a crush of white ginger.

This has been one of my favorite scents for well over ten years. The honey is sweet but not too sweet and never goes “musty” on my skin, as some honey can go. The Ylang blends with the fig and clove to add a soft spicy floral sweetness, and gives the patchouli something to keep it from being too grassy or hippie. Mind you, I love a deep dark hippie patch, but this blend is not that! It is timeless and just lovely. I really love to wear this in summer and warm weather, as it never turns cloying or dank on me.

The ylang-ylang is more than just a touch. I would never have guessed the other notes without reading, but the result is lovely.

I bought an imp but this —of all the scents I love from BPAL —must be what will become my signature scent. I recognized it like love at first smell 😉
Then when I read the ingredients I realized that it couldn’t have been different: I’ve been using Ylang Ylang essential oil as my perfume since my 20s. Mmmh, and I sometimes mixed it with olibanum or other times vetiver or patchouli.
So this is it! One of my favorite mixes of alo times, with added that extra touch to make it unique and absolutely inebriating… honey fig and clove, I can smell them all and the blend is simply heavenly ❤️

I chose an imp of this scent in my first order, and at first I didn’t think I would be able to wear it as the ylang ylang is so super potent. But then August rolled around with its steamy hot days and it was just what I wanted. To me it’s a dark scent, like flowers and dirt. I think I get mostly ylang ylang and patchouli, a scent I normally dislike but it really works well here to temper the sweetness. There’s a touch of honey, maybe, but this scent is sexy and dirty. I love it.
A word of warning: this stuff is INTENSE. A tiny dab is enough for a huge throw, so use caution unless you want to be that person who stinks up a room (in a good way, but still…)

I love the staying power of this – it lasts most of the day for me, but isn’t overpowering. A lovely blend of spicy and sweet.

I love Hetairae: green yet creamy, sweet honey enhanced so delicately with infused ylang-ylang (I have so come to appreciate her) and spicy patchouli. She is Skuld’s dark haired older sister, and kin to Nasty Woman. So many honey blends are “blond” or “naked” to me. The richness of the fruit, spices, and patchouli darken Hetairae up so that it “fits” me better. Another super-sexy-chic patchouli. Mmmmm-wwwwa-gawd…..

The bite of the honey comes through first. This might make sense to those of you who’ve eaten spoonfuls of raw honey and really had the scent just stuck in your sinuses. It’s that rich, sort of crunchy scent that only honey has. To me, it has the texture of that scent (if that makes any sense) but the scent of the patchouli/ylang-ylang mix. Not really getting the clove or fig across, though those might be layered in with the bit of lower sweet notes.
To compare, I wouldn’t call this a distinctly sweet scent, nor cloying, compared to others that I’ve reviewed like Elegba, and Antikythera Mechanism, which are both very rich and heavy, sweet, but not candy sweet scents.
