I can't even read that second paragraph again. BPAL actually scares me in general, with its nightmare proliferation. All those niche lines with labryrinthine websites frighten me...

I am kind of shocked by the number of people who like it. Didn't quite make me go Evil Dead on my arm though - too bad that JCE, your dude, let you down. Can't say I loved that one either.

Glad you laughed - there *is* something funny about smoking in the nude (if you're alone anyways...) Not a lot of clown love here, is there?

Reviewers on their forum think so too. Now I like concept perfumes sometimes. It can be nice to smell like thunderstorms, forests, a flower bed with dirt included, but a cave scent named after a hag that eats children. Holy crap. "Black Annis' perfume is a mixture of damp cave lichen and oak leaf with a hint of vetiver, civet and anise." "The blue faced hag of the British Hills. She lives in the Dane Hills, Leicestershire, in a cave called Black Annis' Bower Close, which she dug out of rock with her own iron-strong claws. Dozens of huge cats prowl the Bower with her, and it is guarded by a great pollarded oak in which she hides so that she may catch lambs and small children to eat. She carries her victims back to her cave, where she flays them alive before devouring them. She drapes their skins on her guardian oak to dry. Her skirt is fashioned from the skins of her prey, and her bed is a high-piled bed of their bones. " Black Phonenix Alchemy Lab's Black Annis has always seemed like it would be very scary.

Port-dipped and in the nude are necessary in that sentence, aren't they? My mind is blessedly blank on the horrors I have sniffed but I don't mind balloons. Clowns should be banned.

I guess not much really offends my nose. This is good when everyone you know gets you perfume as gifts, knowing my love of fragrance. This means that I don't have to just smile politely and hide the perfume away as there is a pretty good chance that, although it may not be a favourite, it will get a wear every year or two!
