Upon the next stage, a primitive cage has been erected. It is made of heavy, dark sticks bound with strips of deep brown leather. The stage is as dark as pitch, and from the shadows, you hear soft hissing, spitting, and an ominous chorus of weird rattling sounds. You approach with some trepidation, and peer between the bars. Your attention is seized by writhing forms on the straw bottom of the cage. As your eyes adjust to the gloom, you realize that the floor is seething with serpents, dark and colorful, languid and large, swift and small. You hear a sultry chuckle, and you see bright, unblinking emerald eyes staring at you from the corner of the cage. A woman crawls through the snakes, her scaled body as sinuous and lissome as the creatures that share her home. She reaches towards you languorously with her sharp-clawed hands and sighs.
A sensual blend of twisting, exotic, serpentine oils: black amber, oakmoss, green sandalwood, bergamot, jasmine sambac, gardenia, orange pulp, black cardamom, vanilla, blackberry, black musk, blackened vanilla husk, white honey, ti leaf, and ginger.
Iä! Shub-Niggurath! The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, the All-Mother and wife of the Not-to-Be-Named-One.
The lust incense of a corrupted Astarte. A blend of ritual herbs and dark resins, shot through with three gingers and aphrodisiacal spices.
A sultry and unruly blend that emulates the ambient scent of the markets in ancient Bengal: skin musk with honey, peppers, clove, cinnamon bark and ginger.

I got this as a free imp along with a different imp pack I ordered. Ironically, this was my favorite out of them all! I’m not sure I notice the black tea at all, or the pepper. It’s got a vague bit of spice to it. I’d say the linen scent is strongest in this one. Which I don’t mind, and really love! It may just be my personal skin chemistry, but after an hour or so of wear it smells like sea salt to me. It reminds me of a light summer day at the beach. I’m absolutely in love with this and will be buying a full sized bottle. That just goes to show that BPAL sending free imps pays off for them in the end lol!

Smells amazing when it settles! I can smell the tea, vanilla, and honey. A whisper of ginger is there and it’s wonderful. Would totally recommend. A cozy scent that you can wear with your favorite sweater.

Creamy, creamy… a little sweet but balanced, kinda cute but not too much… I really like it, more than I thought I would!

I got this one as a frimp, and I’m loving it on first wear. It hasn’t been on for long, but I’m getting a nice playful mix of the ginger and vanilla with the milk, and the floral of the linen is starting to peak out now. Not much of the tea, but that may come out with more time.

Like a magic cake.

Morphs like crazy. I love the tea. Don’t get much ginger, honey, or vanilla. There’s a tanginess to this, and a bit of pepper. The linen’s nice, too; makes it feel clean. I think I like this, but I’m never sure if I love it.
Where I’d wear it: Spunky house-cleaning

This gets really powdery on me. The vanilla and milk are evident right out of the bottle, but as the day wears on, it just starts to smell like baby powder and linen. The pepper doesn’t come through at all.

The more I smell this the more I love it. If your skin doesn’t amp florals you should be fine because the Linen note in this has a floral tone to it which I do get a bit in the middle stage but it’s gone now.
Wet: Honeyed ginger, with vanilla and a hint of pepper. Yummy, but I’m not really getting any tea or linen?
Drying: Uh oh, there’s that floral note starting to rear its head. But at least I’m still getting hints of the other notes too so it’s not a complete loss…
Dry: Delicious honey, milk, and TEA~ Yaaaay! This is quite the morpher on me and I can appreciate the linen note now that I know is isn’t going to crash the tea party. This is a perfect tea scent for me with a lot of complexity. I’ll probably cave and end up buying a bottle once my imp is nearing it’s end.

I got this as a freebie imp and was very excited after I read the scent description. In the imp it is very nice. It’s a very nice sweet, creamy fresh scent with a nice kick from the pepper, but alas it turned into an overly saccharine and powdery floral scent on my skin.

Sweet, cozy, and comforting. I don’t find it all that foody, but I wore some out today and had someone tell me that I smell like a cookie, so the vanilla does add some foody sweetness.

Smells amazing in the bottle, a kind of bright floral with pepper and tea. However, it turns to sickening baby powder on my skin 🙁 Have been using it in an atomizer as a room spray and it’s just lovely though.

Certainly crisp and clean with the black tea and pepper. It has a floral tone which I just can’t place. All around a nice scent
