Sour attar-style musk, resin and woods. Without the attar edge, I'd like this, but the heavy sour note ruins it for me. The resin and woods are fabulous, if they could be gotten alone.

Orange-tinged resinous Dragon's Blood and amber. Nicely blended, very simple but oh, so easy to wear. A nice incense for those who don't like incense.

Disappointing. The blackcurrant jam note is nice but almost immediately drowns in a sea of musty sweet headshop incense. This smells so cheap.

I used to follow the chatter about BPAL back in the day, when I couldn't afford to buy from them. I loved the descriptions of the scents and how mysterious and exotic they sounded. I think the...

I am a fan of all things vanilla- foody, sweet, smokey, incense etc. Snake Oil smells like vanilla incense and kind of reminds me of the Renaissance festival. In my opinion, that's a win. I like it...

It's sweet and resinous. I sometimes get the mustiness of old bills, like really worn paper money or the inside of a older purse but more pleasant than I'm making it sound. The heliotrope is almost...
