Strong throw, long wear length. I love the way pipe and cigar tobacco smell in real life, but in perfumes they are usually either incredibly dry and smoky or have a very off-putting, odd-smelling sickly sweetness. This isn’t cold or pure. It’s a very sharp, green, acquatic scent. A while back, I reviewed the first 30 non-bpal scents I've tried. I did it with Josie from the District collection and Iulia from the Carneval Diabolique, and neither worked as well as I thought they would. I have tried a couple of NAVAs with similar notes - Halcyon Bat & Vampire Vanilla Bat. So I got my something creamy in spite of the notes. Old Demons of the First Class (Siberian musk, black clove, opoponax, tonka, black pepper, and neroli) is a worthy inclusion for something different to the typical 'fruity' or 'citrus' blends With Antony Starr, Ivana Milicevic, Ulrich Thomsen, Frankie Faison. The oakmoss comes in and adds a little earthiness, while the white sandalwood appears and adds a little woodiness. A creamy, golden, slightly powdery amber. At first, I can smell the orange blossoms and the vanilla. I mean, the lab did a fantastic job making this reminiscent of bugs, so kudos for that, but I do not find it wearable. Average throw, long wear length. Swap only. Consumers, bloggers and shop owners are all welcome to join our community. Although it's not an orange blossom or neroli blend, one of my favourite 'orange' BPALs is Lilith and the Giant Crab - Tangerine cream, benzoin, white sandalwood, white pear, tonka, and ambergris accord - reviews here. If it takes a month or two, it's not too frustrating and the elation felt when I finally find my query is satisfying. Also, neither had that faux chocolate effect. BPAL. I’ve seen reviews calling it coconut milk and honestly, very few things confuse me more because I cannot possibly imagine this as having even the slightest nuance of coconut anything. Like....IDK, that's not how businesses work....I want to give them money, but when I get jumped on by someone (mod of BPAL sales madness group) who tells me that I am an entitled brat and should be GLAD i got SOMETHING from them (even though it was unscented!!!!!!!! If I were that ebay buyer, and saw they did that...i'd be LIVID. I just wish they offered samples of the non-GC permanent collections. So incredibly acrid. BTW, if anyone knows of anything similar in another brand (either to the notes or to the general impressions), PLEASE comment to let me know about it! They could not be more different on me. Somehow, over the last 5 years or so, either my nose or my skin chemistry changed entirely. Proctor and Longshadow make a deal to build a hotel on the reservation. I haven’t smelled BPAL Banshee Beat in eons, but the patch and vanilla in this are giving me that sort of a vibe. And let's talk about the cannabis, shall we? It always makes me feel a little fancier when I wear it.
