Somnium
The Dream Collection
O soft embalmer of the still midnight,
Shutting, with careful fingers and benign,
Our gloom-pleas’d eyes, embower’d from the light,
Enshaded in forgetfulness divine:
O soothest Sleep! if it so please thee, close,
In midst of this thine hymn, my willing eyes,
Or wait the amen, ere thy poppy throws
Around my bed its lulling charities.
Then save me, or the passed day will shine
Upon my pillow, breeding many woes;
Save me from curious conscience, that still lords
Its strength for darkness, burrowing like a mole;
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards,
And seal the hushed casket of my soul.

Lavender vanilla milk, so lovely and expensive smelling. I say milk, but this perfume is not too gourmand-y. As it ages it becomes more rich and complex. This scent is similar to Lush Sleepy lotion but TKO is more luxurious, grounded, and kinda darker (in the positive way). You should totally try it!

I recieved this as a frimp and didn’t particularly like it. From the imp, it’s straight lavender and on the skin, it smelled astringent.
I forgot about the frimp the dresser for uhhh….two whole years. I revisted it as part of a big Spring clean and oh my goodness, it’s lovely! It’s the more sophisticated, grown up sister of MOR’s Marshmallow.
I’m learning with oils that they take time to mature, and I shouldn’t discount a scent based on how it smells after its been freshly mixed.

Lovely scent. First whiff’s remind me of the Jareth the Goblin king scent BPAL offers. I am a huge lavender fan so I can see myself pairing this lighter scent with some of my dark and heavy ones. It’s sweet but fairly androgynous. I can see this working very well on people who like masculine scents too. Absolutely going to order a bigger bottle. Definitely a new favorite.

I’ve been collecting BPAL’s for 2 years now, & this one makes me feel complete. Lavender, & I think vanilla, perhaps mallowflower, such an amazing combo. I can’t stop wearing this. A bottle I plan to reorder when empty.

One of my favorite BPAL fragrances. A delicious lavender marshmallow pillow. I do not use this to assist with sleep but it is still a very lovely calming scent to wear to bed. If you like lavender this is a must have.
