Bewitching Brews
PERFUME OIL BLENDS
Presented in an amber apothecary vial.
$6.25 – $25.00
A sultry, exotic scent that inspires devious plotting and clandestine affairs. It is a scent painted in artifice, veiled in deceit, and slithering with whispered secrets. Black palm, with cocoa, fig and shadowy wooded notes.

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
In Irish folklore the Dana O’Shee are a fae, elven people that live in a realm of beauty, their nobility akin to our that own Age of Chivalry, eternally beautiful and eternally young. They surround themselves with the pleasures of the Arts, they live for the hunt, and to this day can be seen riding in procession through the Irish countryside at twilight, led by their King and Queen. However, the Dana O’Shee are not benevolent creatures, despite what their unearthly beauty may imply. They are vengeful and treacherous and possess a streak of mischievous malice, and many have whispered that their true home lies deep in the shadowed groves of the Realm of the Dead. Hearing even a single chord of their otherworldly music leaves one stunned and lost to the mortal realms for ever, finding themselves prey to the Dana O’Shee’s hunt or enslaved in their Court as servants or playthings.
Offerings of milk, honey and sweet grains were made to placate these creatures, and it is that the basis of the scent created in their name.
In Hermetic alchemy, brimstone is one of the Three Heavenly Substances, one of the primary alchemical Principles It represents the strength of will and the vigor of passion, and it is a symbol of the process of fermentation. A smoky, gritty blend, husky and gray.
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.

Lives up to it’s name. Hard to put a finger on, or describe as any way other than “dark”. Too sweet to quite be called woodsy, too woodsy to quite be called sweet. Makes me think a little bit of a noir office somehow. Lasts me a good few hours.

genuinely my favourite scent, and is usually my signature and/or every day base. It has a subtle sweetness, the cocoa is dark and beautiful. Fades down to a vaguely earthy, woodsy scent that is lovely as well. My absolute favourite purchase from BPAL to date.

This one is cool, spicy, tart and damp earth. Very lovely spring scent!

This one is a morpher. When I first applied it, it hit me very strongly with the cocoa and fig. Very masculine. It settled down pretty quickly, though, and became unisex. The chocolate faded to a background note and the “shadowy wooded notes” came forward. I smelled like a cedar chest doused in chocolate. As the day waned, it changed again. The cedar smell went away and I was left with a comfortable spiciness.
I was torn about what star rating to give this one. I spent the whole day trying to decide if I liked it or not. It’s such an ODD scent. But it does smell exactly as advertised, so it’s on me for being adventurous. I am definitely going to keep the imp and use it… I Liked it well enough not to give it away. …And I can be picky. But I don’t think I’ll buy the bottle. It’s getting four stars because, even though it wasn’t EXACTLY my cup of tea, you have to give BPAL props for creating an utterly unique scent. It would definitely smell good on a guy, or on an adventurous woman who likes chocolate scents. So four stars.

Spicy cocoa and obvious fig in the bottle. Cocoa steps back a bit application and I’m left with something woody, earthy, dark, and just a tiny bit tart. There’s sweetness, but I would not call this one at all foody. There’s something really damp and cool to it.
