This is the captured scent of a cold, moonless night, lost deep within the darkest wood. Haunting and desolate, this scent evokes images of fairy tale tragedy and half-remembered nightmares. Thick, viscous pine with ambergris, black musk, juniper and cypress.
Though thy slumber may be deep,
Yet thy spirit shall not sleep;
There are shades which will not vanish,
There are thoughts thou canst not banish;
By a power to thee unknown,
Thou canst never be alone;
Thou art wrapt as with a shroud,
Thou art gather’d in a cloud;
And for ever shalt thou dwell
In the spirit of this spell.
A profound and entrancing potion. Deep, wispy, and unfathomably dark: vetiver, dark woods, crumbling and burnt black sandalwood and a drop of lemon rind.
The Dark Side of Fire: cinnamon, bitter almond, and neroli. Heavily spiced, torrid, and possibly conflagrant.
I grieve and dare not show my discontent,
I love and yet am forced to seem to hate,
I do, yet dare not say I ever meant,
I seem stark mute but inwardly do prate.
I am and not, I freeze and yet am burned,
Since from myself another self I turned.
My care is like my shadow in the sun,
Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it,
Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
His too familiar care doth make me rue it.
No means I find to rid him from my breast,
Till by the end of things it be supprest.
Some gentler passion slide into my mind,
For I am soft and made of melting snow;
Or be more cruel, love, and so be kind.
Let me or float or sink, be high or low.
Or let me live with some more sweet content,
Or die and so forget what love ere meant.
Inspired by the tragic, ill-fated love of Queen Elizabeth I and the Earl of Leicester. This is our modernization of a 17th-century perfume blend favored by British aristocracy: rosemary, orange flower, grape spirit, five rose variants, lemon peel, and mint.

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.
