And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
Thin, dark, and shadowed. A scent that offers no sustenance, comfort or satiety: lemon peel, white sage, frankincense, lavender fougere, sandalwood, vetiver and labdanum.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
Now the hungry lion roars,
And the wolf behowls the moon;
Whilst the heavy ploughman snores,
All with weary task fordone.
Now the wasted brands do glow,
Whilst the screech-owl, screeching loud,
Puts the wretch that lies in woe
In remembrance of a shroud.
Now it is the time of night
That the graves all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his sprite,
In the church-way paths to glide:
And we fairies, that do run
By the triple Hecate’s team,
From the presence of the sun,
Following darkness like a dream,
Now are frolic: not a mouse
Shall disturb this hallow’d house:
I am sent with broom before,
To sweep the dust behind the door.
Dark musk, moss-covered wood, ragwort, heather, and sage.
Smoldering coals heat the device from below, and steam hisses through two curved pipes, rotating the shining brass sphere.
Glowing amber and citrus, labdanum, verbena, cedar, and oud.

I purchased 5 ml of OBLIVION in 2013, and it is one of my all-time favorite BPAL scents. Fresh, it is smooth, sweet, clean, and golden. It fades to a light, heady scent, with all the sweetness of an afternoon nap on a summer’s day. Good staying power. I would be happy to smell like this all the time. 5/5

Got this one as a freebie with another order, and I’m glad that I did because I probably would never have gotten it for myself. In the bottle, it’s kind of…hard to describe. Musky, but with an herbaceous tang to it as well. On my skin, the herb note rapidly disappears, leaving something that’s sweet and a bit, as others have said, powdery. Very pleasant, and much less obtrusive than the name would suggest. I tend to forget what it smells like once I’m no longer wearing it, which leads to a happy surprise every time I put it on. I probably won’t be buying the full size, but for as long as the imp lasts, I’m enjoying it.

The previous reviewer stated that this scent was “Subtle” and I must agree. Right out of the bottle it has the pungency of Grand Marnier or Courvoisier. That immediately fades into a powdery Fougere-like perfume. Something you would find in a century old diary. I had difficulty detecting the individual notes on their own. Perhaps the name “Oblivion” was aptly chosen here. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful perfume…perhaps for someone that wants to wear a scent without standing out odiferously.

Subtle, and implacable without actually smelling it. Perfect description of Oblivion, because once it’s gone you can’t remember it.
