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.
A brace of loaded pistols
He carried night and day;
He never robbed a poor man
Upon the king’s highway;
But what he’d taken from the rich,
Like Turpin and Black Bess,
He always did divide it
With the widow in distress.
Stand and deliver! Vetiver with gardenia, blood red rose, night-blooming jasmine, a dash of cinnamon and a faint hint of leather
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.
The essence of magickal enigmas and long-forgotten esoteric mysteries. Frankincense, rosemary, lavender, neroli, and verbena.

I am sure this is exactly what the Buddha smelled like. I love it, its heady, earthy, full of incense, herbal, meditative yogic blend.

I’ve been a BPAL fanatic since 2008 and Coiled Serpent remains my #1 favorite. This one gives me cedar, sandalwood, mellow aged patchouli, and frankincense, in that order. There’s likely other things in there balancing everything out (there might be a type of amber or another resin?), but that’s the lineup I can identify. It’s like the smell of a cedar chest that only ever held incense. Nothing screeches, nothing shouts. Everything is in perfect balance and creates a reassuring, kind aura of peaceful groundedness. I just adore it and it is in constant rotation. If you enjoy anything earthy, and if you like incense at all, you must try this. Blends well with other notes (vanilla does beautiful things) but is stellar on its own. As long as it exists, I remain devoted.

I purchased an imp of The Coiled Serpent & upon opening I personally could not smell anything. Once applied it was a heavy incense mix that quickly became delicate on my skin & it changed into a delicately, sweet scent. I wouldn’t say that I get a sultry feeling from it. I do enjoy this perfume & all the stages it goes through. I found myself reflecting on it quite a bit during my time wearing it (in a positive way).

– [ ] This one is hard to describe. Very resiny and incense-y but light. Changes on the skin and gets almost green. Like green tea. Very intoxicating and heady. Hours after application it’s light and sensual. Definitely a new favorite. I find myself reaching for it often. Will absolutely buy a bigger bottle.

A delicate, balanced blend of wood and incense.

Like ‘satyrcynic’ stated, this oil almost seems naughty to put on and then walk out into public.
Definitely an earthy and calming, yet subtle and intriguing scent.
Will definitely be getting a bigger bottle of this, and will always keep it in my rotation of BPAL oils.
I HIGHLY recommend this oil!

It seems inappropriate to put this oil on my body and take it out into public. I’d much rather warm a little over a candle for meditation. Inspiring, warm and subtle.

Rich, earthy, and centering. Focusing and calming. Quietly powerful and beautiful.
I’m thrilled to find a yogic oil like this.
