PERFUME: The Lurid Library
COMPANY: Bpal
AVAILABILITY: Halloweenie 2012
OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION: The incense-tinged scent of
forbidden tomes and the musk-laden remnants of infernal servants.
BEFORE I SMELL: When a scent is as popular as this one, I want
to try it anyway to see what all the fuss is about. With this one it’s not only
that. I love libraries and the smell of old books fascinates me.
FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Pale sandalwood and incense. It does
smell like an old book! It also reminds me a men’s cologne a little bit. So
the final verdict it’s that it is the scent of a sexy librarian!
It has an
autumnal feel to it too. Like when you are reading in a library and then you go
out and suddenly starts to rain.
It reminds
me my years at the Uni…
WET ON SKIN: This is a very soft fragrance. Woods and
cologne it’s what I get.
DRY DOWN: Woody musk, soft leather and faint incense.I think I smell frankincense too Stays close to the skin. Low
silage and longevity...
FINAL THOUGHTS: I really like this one on the decant but it
doesn’t stay on my skin. I love how it
recreated an atmosphere though. If this was stronger it would be a winner!

The scent of a sexy librarian! Sign me up. I think I have a single BPAL imp in my entire stash, and I've never even sniffed it - but I do love the sound of this one. I'm with you on loving library/old book scents. There's just something kind of comforting about them.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήBpal can be a serious addiction, so you are lucky to have only one! I totally agree with you library/ols book scents have something comforting, like you are sitting on the couch, drinking tea and reading a good book on a winter day...
ΔιαγραφήOooh! A library scent! Too bad it's an LE... I do love those library scents!
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήIf this one lasted longer on the skin, it would be so good! Bpal has other library scents in their general catalog like:
ΔιαγραφήPHILOLOGUS
Ancient books, crackled parchment, faded incense, and candle wax
AND
THE BOOK
Old, yellowed parchment paper, tattered leather bindings. There's a distinct warmth to the scent, though it is ancient and brittle.
This sounds SOOOO pretty! And who wouldn't want to smell like a sexy librarian? :D
