Ahhhh, Ophelia is a sharp affront to my nasal passages! Slightly bitter and green, it reminds me a bit of bic pen ink - oddly.

A strong and clean floral scent. It's almost a little heady and overbearing. I would imagine a strong and powerful woman wearing this scent. I do like some notes in here, but overall - no. I can't...

Oh Ophelia...I don't know what to say. I really wanted to like this one based on the reviews. Our chemistries just do not click. On me Ophelia smelled like a really strong hotel soap bar. When I...

This is my first fragrance from Black Phoenix and I got it based on the reviews below. I was expecting something else, a dreamy, water laced aroma of a forgotten time...marsh reeds, maidens, magic....

<b>Ophelia</b> is one of the first 10 or so BPAL scents I ever tried, and immediately won her way into my heart. She is a lovely scent, full of feminine florals and something else that makes it...

My favorite of all BPAL fragrances. Ophelia smells light and innocent, but evokes a certain sadness when worn. I picture the scene in Hamlet when she killed herself in the pond, and many different...

On the days when you want something soft, sweet, delicate, and utterly feminine. . .this is it. This is femininity distilled. On my skin, Ophelia is white rose, sweetened with lily and lotus, and...

This is my new favourite BPAL scent. It is a beautiful light, sweet, lovely white aquatic floral. Evokes the image of white roses and lilies floating on top of water. Feminine and gorgeous. At...

Now that I've finally stopped laughing about the phrase "hit you over the head crotchy scents" below (yes, they DO have some of those, huh?)... Oh my, this is my favorite BPAL so far. I'm terrible...

I can really smell the sweet pea when I put it on, though as time goes on, it develops into a more complex, sweet floral. I didn't really think I'd like this one, but it's really pretty. Smells a...

This is a pretty one and the name is very suited to the smell. I can imagine a pretty woman floating face up in cool, blue water. Not overly floral or ozonic, and actually a little drugstore...

Perfectly beautiful. The water ivy adds a slight green note, and the combination of florals is simply lovely.

Feminine and floral - very pastel, but blue, not pink. Very pretty on my skin - delicate roses with a hint of something sweeter. It's a bit too girly-floral for me to wear often, and I'll be...
