Succor

Sniffed: Slightly cloudy yellow oil. Sour, heady florals. Jasmine and ylang ylang? Wet: Same, very evil florals, with maybe a nasty sort of resin or incense? Dry: Yeah I get a sort of sour smoky note now which reminds me VAGUELY of Gypsy Queen, bc it has a candle/beeswax undertone. Later: I agree with the 'green olives' someone gets. But I think a sour straw/hay note is more likely the...

Blood Rose

BPAL description: Sensual, robust, and silken: voluptuous red rose bursting with lascivious red wine and sultry dragon's blood resin. Sniffed: Medium-darkish amber-brown-beigey oil. Fruity! Lots of grapey wine with only a hint of booziness, fresh red rose (a la Rose Red scent), and the slightly soapy cherry-lilac of dragon's blood. Wet: A little...plasticky? Still very grape, in a ...

A past, personal rant on the Northern media's anti-Southern bias

... I'm up for it, I'll go on the Midwest bias, as that also exists. If you want a view of the disparity between the media and their audience, I think the review's one passage does a decent job of it. I suppose I'll give the reviewer a plus credit for the "Ouincy M.E." reference. Link: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20153710,00.html Link: http://dark-weezing.livejournal.com/504460.html

I can't find my pen

The British film reviewer Mark Kermode said of the movie Fighting that it has a plot you could map out on a napkin before the opening credits are over. And he's right. It's completely a Cindarella, rags to riches story with absolutely nothing new to offer in the way of content. But it was still fun. The story is extremely easy, our hero isn't doing well, meets a hustler who introduces him to ...

L'Echole des Filles

"...orange blossom, ambergris, orris root, white rose, lemon balm, jonquil, carrot seed, and benzoin." L'Ecole des Filles is pure orange blossom for drydown. Waxy lemon and, I think, the ambergris start to come out after a few minutes. After that, is rose which makes this perfume very romantic and frilly. In an hour's time, L'Ecole des Filles is powdery floral yet green. It's a strange ...

Milk Moon 2005

BPAL description: Cream and warm honey soften our traditional blend of lunar oils. Sniffed: Light yellow oil. Sweet, creamy, rich - and a little tropical. I do get honey, but also other fruits, and the cream note is more sweet milk than cream. Wet: More fruity-tropical, and significantly sweeter, almost cloyingly. I get a lot of date - I'm sort of reminded of The Hanging Gardens. The ...

Erik

BPAL description: Resin-coated wood, kerosene, oil, leather, musty velvet, and dust from the Grand Drape. Sniffed: Wood, kerosene, and oil. It's very solvent-y, but in a pleasant sort of cologney way. I get that 'motor oil' sort of metallic feel, which I was hoping for. It is a little dusty, but not overly. Wet: Sharper, more metallic, tangier. Still very woody. Also, there's something...

Cleopatra Testing Poisons on Those Condemned to Death

BPAL description: Accords of peach kernel, hemlock, aconite, and belladonna, with bitter almond, saffron, honey, myrrh, hyssop, frankincense, and palm. Sniffed: Yellow oil. Sweet, strong, syrupy. A little spicy and resiny, with a slightly bitter/sharp edge. I get lots of almond, peach kernel, honey and saffron. Wet: Much the same. Very strong throw, but dries instantly on my skin. More...
