Quick Sniffs: Bah, Scattered Gloom, Uncertain Horror
Bah
BPAL description: Turkish coffee, whiskey, and mocha.
In the bottle: Extremely pale yellow. Sweet, flavoured coffee; reminds me of walking into a Dunkin Donuts. Mocha is distinct but light, and if I strain I get a wisp of whiskey. Creamy.
Scattered Gloom
BPAL description: Dry olibanum, opoponax, mandrake accord, black currant, and opium pod.
In the bottle: Light beigey-golden amber. Dark, earthy, smoky. A bit of soil, perhaps (the mandrake - rooty), also a little sweet and sour. Heavy. I think it's appropriate, but can't imagine it as a perfume.
Uncertain Horror
BPAL description: Red patchouli, sage leaf, Darjeeling tea, smoke-scarred sandalwood, green tobacco, and oud.
In the bottle: Root beer coloured. Sour and sharp, quite green and a little smoky. Earthy patchouli. I can smell each note.The sage is a bit medicinal, the tea light. Masculine.
