A shot of pure, self-indulgent euphoria! A scent that is very, very wicked in its own way: the serotonin-slathered scent of pure milk chocolate.
John Dee: master of science, alchemy and magic, Hermetic philosopher in the schools of Rosicrucian Christian Mysticism and Platonic-Pythagorean doctrine, and Queen Elizabeth’s astrologer, advisor, cryptologist and spy. With Edward Kelly, he created a field of study and work in Angelic Evocation, and isolated the Angelic language: Enochian. His scent is soft English leather, rosewood and tonka with a hint of incense, parchment and soft woods.
Lush, creamy vanilla and the honey of the sweetest kiss smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk.
One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following diabolical device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of one hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The first atomic decay would have poisoned it. The Psi function for the entire system would express this by having in it the living and the dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a “blurred model” for representing reality. In itself it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.
A paradoxical scent experiment! – tangerine, sugared lime, pink grapefruit, oakmoss, lavender, zdravetz, and chocolate peppermint.
No cats were mistreated during the formulation of this paradox, or in the process of creating this perfume.

Unfortunately it’s not what it used to be. It’s now a linear peach, anise, and heliotrope scent, and does not change much in the drydown.

I got this as an imp from an order and I’m sad I didn’t order a full size! As soon as I am close to finishing this imp, I will be ordering the full size.
Initially, it feels regal but still ethereal. Like I am a mythical creature preparing for afternoon tea. It mellows but still lingers as I continue wearing it. It could seem pretty powdery or “perfume-y,” so be sure to try fragrances before purchasing, but I am in love and eager to buy a full size!

A mix of bubbles, unknown flowers, fruit juice, and summer. Makes me smell very pretty, though it can be a bit of a childish scent.

This is a pleasant scent, but it’s not for me. It leans far more feminine. Much more delicate, powdery and floral than I expected it to be. It’s also deceptively strong. Wet, I felt I could just barely smell the bergamot and the peach…but as it sits on my skin and warms up, it becomes nothing but heliotrope and that powdery/soapy scent. Again, it’s pleasant to the senses, but it’s not what I want to be wearing all day. I’m curious to see if it ages differently as other reviewers have said.

I like this scent. It’s fairly unusual and it lingers in an odd way. It’s sweet and musky and I can definitely smell a bit of bergamot. I think if it were a little less musky I would enjoy it more but otherwise it’s very fine indeed. I think you only need a small amount for it to work because otherwise it’s a little overwhelming.

Starts off smelling like anise and musky peaches. After about maybe 10 minutes, the anise note starts to fade and it becomes a fruity, floral musk. It’s one of my favorites from BPAL’s catalogue.

This is my favorite scent in the entire world. I’m probably on my 6th bottle? To me it smells like sweet, musky peaches and anise. It’s the perfect every day scent, appropriate for every season but I reach for it the most in the spring and summer. It’s not a complicated scent. It’s simple and quietly lovely. Every time I wear it I feel good. What else could you ask for?

Citrus and floral. Mellows with age

Got this one as a frimp, and I’m so glad! It’s delicate, light, but grounded and given body by the fruit (I definitely get peach, not citrus) with a little bit of sweetness. I really like it.

I bought an imp of this a few years ago. I didn’t care for it then; it was a little too soapy-floral. But it’s aged wonderfully into something musky and sweet. I really like it now.

Refreshing yet sweet citrus. One of my favorite scents

Soft and sweet and a little powdery. A bit innocent feeling for it’s moniker, but nice. It really lingers; I could still smell it on me the next day.
