stillsostrangeMy newest batch of imps came in today, so I resurrect the BPAL report.
A sinister, sinuous incense of summoning, a herald and paean to the Primordial Gods of Darkness, Chaos, Madness and Decay.
In the bottle: sharp and cloying sweet. I should recognize that sweet note, but it's escaping me. A hint of soap underneath.
Wet: Crazy sweet! Kinda boozy. Crap, what is this? Not amaretto... Toffee? Toffee!
Drydown: I could make a nice cup of coffee and eat my hand.
Dry: Toffeetoffeetoffee! Wanna cookie now.
The sunken city of the Great God Cthulhu. A hellishly dark aquatic scent, evocative of fathomless oceanic deeps, the mysteries of madness buried under crushing black waters, and the brooding eternal evil that lies beneath the waves.
In the bottle: Cool and clean. Maybe amber. And something light and green-smelling, like cucumber.
Wet: Clean and wet, with a hint of sticky green.
Drydown: I was promised the mysteries of madness, and instead I have a cucumber sandwich.
Dry: So when those writers talk about "the smell of evil", this is what they mean. Who knew?
A great undersea metropolis located below Devil's Reef. A swirling, lightless, effervescent scent: the deepest marine notes with bergamot, eucalyptus and foamy ambergris.
In the bottle: Bergamot! Loffly bitter oranges. So that's what the orangey note in Nyarlathotep is.
Wet: Oranges! The deep bitter ones, not the sweet ones.
Drydown: Here comes the eucalyptus. It comes out faster on my hair than my skin.
Dry: A hint of earthiness, and salt. Maybe that's the ambergris. Very nice. This one's a keeper. I need a character who smells like this.
