CALIPH’S BELOVED: Stimulates your own sexual energy and incites intense feelings of passion and desire.

Caliph’s Beloved - BPAL Madness!
Slave1 (May 14, 2006):
"In Bottle: Plastic and wood

On Skin: Wow, at first it smelled like a toy stright out of the packaging, pure plastic. After it develops on my skin, I get cinnamon, sweet and spicy. It’s also quite musky, it’s actually kind of sexy. There is a very sweet powdery note in the background. I get a similar feeling to Bengal (honey and spice) but much stronger in the spice department. I also feel like ther’s a very faint floral note, maybe tearose? I like the feeling it gives, but I can’t inhale too deeply because the cinnamon is quite overpowering and I actually really dislike cinnamon scents. But if I just left it waft by my nose, or get a slight whiff of it, it’s perfect. And yes, it actaully speeds my heart up and makes me feel a little flushed. :slight_smile:"

cuervosueno (June 17, 2006):
"…I found this again the other day and was going to a party where I was supposed to meet a man my friends thought I might be interested in, so I put it on (and a corset, but hey, it was a party celebrating a friend’s five years in sex work). Caliph’s Beloved was gorgeous–it smelled just like cinnamon red hots on me. Yum!

And did it ever work! And not as I expected. While the man my friends wanted to introduce me to was clearly interested, so were most of the other men at the party, despite the fact that some of them have shown no previous interest in me before.

This works so well, that I’d be a little hesitant to use some of the attraction blends that have a warning on them, such as blinding glory of love!"

Sofia Blackthorn (July 18, 2006):
"This may be the most effective TAL I’ve ever tried. fans self It works amazingly well. I think I may be needing a 5 mL.

I cannot review its scent because I used it on a candle. I’m not sure what might happen if I used it on myself. I might ignite! (IMG:[
abejita (July 23, 2006):
"The scent: Cinnamon, musk, possibly clove, and something a little sweet. Though I didn’t break out my decant of La Flamme to sniff test, it definitely reminds me of that scent, minus the citrus. Very pleasant. As always with cinnamon, be careful. I have sensitive skin, but this didn’t seem to leave anything more than a very faint redness that went away quickly-- and I did apply heavily.

The effect: I chose to use this because Sexual Energy triggers a big allergic reaction, and Caliph’s Beloved has that bit in its description about stimulating your own energy. After a very stressful week (hell, month) of twelve-hour days of training and classes, plus my chronic illness, my libido was shot to hell. Non-existent. I applied the oil to my wrists, neck, heart, and a tiny bit on my belly, then concentrated on things of an erotic nature. Right away, I felt a buildup of intense warmth concentrated in my diaphragm/solar plexus area, where no oil had been applied. It was a pleasant, interesting sensation, totally unexpected. I have never had the feeling of my energies being stirred up in quite that way. I woke my partner up and the rest of the evening was a stunning success.

The verdict: Wonderful. When my decant is gone, I may very well purchase a full bottle. I felt glow-y for a long time after, too."

Alseides (May 16, 2007):
"Wow, does this stuff work.

I applied some to my base chakra, throat, and heart and rubbed the residue on my wrists about five minutes ago, and already I’m getting butterflies in my stomach. In me, it seems to be inducing a dizzying sort of lustfulness, one where all your inhibitions are gone and it’s a smoldering, seductive passion blossoming in their place. This may be due to the cinnamon-y note that I’m smelling. Hot, indeed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)"

GirlAndroid (May 27, 2007):
"A bottle of Caliph’s beloved arrived a few days ago, it’s joined my small collection of bottles.

In the bottle it reminds me of … a liquid version of spices you might use in cinnamon-heavy gingerbread? I can see where cinnamon rolls might come into it … mmm… (:

Wet on skin, it’s lovely and warm and sweet and spicy. Dry, it’s all that with a smooth creaminess mixed in too …

DH got a waft of this, to him it’s a cooler weather night time kind of thing - it might get a little cloying (warm sweet honey?) in warmer weather?

I do like the mood this evokes, and it’s passed a few tests here (: Very glad I have a bottle of this!"

hayet (July 3, 2007):
"I love the scent of this one- it has a lot of similarities to Black Phoenix. There’s definitely more cinnamon/clove in this one than BP, but there’s a hint of rose underneath, and a whole slew of other stuff I can’t identify.

But it works. I can’t wear it on my body (cinnamon=nemesis), but having it scent my hair all day has left me very eager to see the DH this evening indeed!" (http://www.bpal.org/style_emoticons/default/icon_wink.gif) (http://www.bpal.org/style_emoticons/default/icon_wink.gif)

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL)
Replacing AndrosteNone with regard to Attraction, Phase Shifting, and Lust Enhancing
2

Has anyone tried ‘Caliph’s Beloved’, I am especially interested in males trying it as all the above great reviews are by women I think (including lovely Alseides from our own forum). Would it smell weird on a man? I guess the main problem with it is that it has high amounts of cinnamon in it, which is a known skin irritant. Indeed people have reported skin irritation from wearing this product on the skin.

On the other hand, it might make for a really interesting alternative to something like TUTH/Androstenone. It definitely arouses women when they wear it themselves as can be seen from the reviews. I doubt it would be as strong, but it may get the juices flowing and set a sensual mood. P79 + P83 + Caliph’s Beloved might be an interesting combo and one could add other putatives to enhance the ‘effect’ like possibly P75, P88, p90 P93, and maybe even more. A Tacitus phero sexmix with added Caliph’s Beloved in there may take things to a new level…

I have used it and I like it.

I am sure Visionary is aware of this but I will mention it anyway so others dont get confused. There are no mones in Caliphs beloved. When people are referring to TAL they mean Twilight Alchemy Lab. This is a potion and one that works amazingly well in my opinion.

Visionary I think it would work great on a man in fact I think its more of a mans scent. I have no problem with cinnamon but you will feel it when it makes contact with your skin. Sort of tingles. If you get it try it out on rougher areas of your body like outer arms, back of hand and see if you get rashy. I sometimes wear scents that bother my skin in a necklace pendant and they do have some of those that would look good on men. In fact I wonder if they would be useful with pheromones?

Here is one that would look cool on a guy

The Celtic Wolf Perfume Locket - MWArt.com

Most come with little pads so you can change the scent when you want.

Thanks for the colour tisha.

I would also be interested to hear an opinion on TwAlchLab products from DST. MHarris/Jasmin, Carrie, tacitus or other perfumers on the forum…

Tisha? Sorry hun, I’ve got another newbie type question for you…

I’ve seen BPAL mentioned in other places before coming here - and I have always been at a bit of a loss to understand it.

There is so much data and so many variants on the websites - I kind of get “lost” in it. I think this is because it seems to have been running for years.

Is there an “eejits” or “idiots” FAQ or an easy way in?

Best

Interesting idea with the locket Tisha.
I am glad Caliph’s Beloved is wearable on a guy (except for the potential allergic reaction problem to Cinnamon). I will have to see how sensitive my skin is to it.

I would like to hear the experts people’s opinions on it too though I suspect most have not tried it or anything similar to it. The classic ‘aphrodisiac’ essential oils are scents like Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, Musk, Oud, Vanilla, Clary Sage but not something like Cinnamon. Caliph’s Beloved probably contains a large proportion of Cinnamon and other sensual scents like Musk and Cloves in there based on the reviews.

Delta-Sky Magazine
“…Hirsch stumbled on this peculiar finding while he was studying scent for use in weight loss. He actually found that in men, pretty much any scent increased blood flow, but he also noticed that while perfumes did little for male students, the smell of cinnamon buns really cranked them up. “I wasn’t sure what to make of that,” he says. “Maybe med students are just always hungry.” (Women’s responses weren’t as clear-cut.)…”

eBay: Cinnamon Leaf 1 oz100% PURE Aromatherapy Essential Oil (item 220127497377 end time Jul-09-07 21:24:32 PDT)

“…100% Pure Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil. Cinnamon essential oil is best described as a mover and shaker. It is a physical and emotional stimulant that gets the blood and mind moving. It also affects the libido and is known as an aphrodisiac, as well as an antidepressant. Researchers found that just having the aroma in the room reduces drowsiness, irritability, and the pain and frequency of headaches. In one study, it helped the participants concentrate and perform better on mental work. The essential oil provides the heat in a warming liniment to relax tight muscles, ease painful joints, relieve menstrual cramps, and increase circulation. It also helps to break down food in the body, and has anti– viral, fungal, and bacterial properties…”

I put cinnamon oil in my lip gloss it helps plump up your lips for that Angelina Jolie pout. Not that you would want to try this Visionary (snort) just thought I would add it to the list of things its good for. Of course people should try it on skin first to see if they have a reaction to it. I think this may be why its not in with the classic aphrodisiacs because it will cause a reaction (rash) in half of those who wear it. I do know that it stimulates blood flow and you can feel it happening when you wear it but I am not sure if the scent would do that to blood flow. I am sure Carrie and Jas will be around soon to give there opinions. Not so sure about M Harris he hasnt been around in some time.

There are alot of other oils that promote sexuality other then the ones you have mentioned above. Rosewood oil for one can be a very beneficial scent to women. This one helps people who are afraid of being intimate or hold back sexually. Anything that promotes blood flow, warms or relieves stress and tension is good to add to a aphrodisicac blend.

May there site is a little confusing. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Perfume Oils: Love Potions

If you look on the left they have all the scent catogories listed. On the left near the bottom they have a forum button. They have a scent review area in the forum which is more helpful than there discriptions. Join the forum because they have alot more stuff you can see when your a member. Its not hard to join it just takes time because they monitor everything in there. Make sure you post once in a while or they remove you from forum. They have a whole section on Twilight products but if I remember correctly like I said you have to join the forum to see it.

“Imp ears” are samples and they are very very small but I suggest getting them first because Bpal really is a “acquired sniff” LOL. I only like the scent of half of what I get there.

Twilight Alchemy Lab

Twilight Alchemy Lab is the sister site and its hard to find from there main site and they wont let you order from them till you make an order from Bpal a few times or at least that is whats implied. I am not sure if they inforce this rule because I bought from B-pal for awhile first. These are classified as potions and not scents. Some are for wearing and some are for rituals so read carefully so you dont buy something that will cause a rash. They dont have a normal order form. At the bottom of the page it explains how to buy there products. I have alot of there stuff and I like it and some of it works very well.

Orders take a long time depending on how backed up they are for both Bpal and TAL.

Hope this helps

I haven’t used any Twilight Alchemy Lab stuff.

My experience with BPAL was mixed but mostly negative. Someone gave me a sample of Snake Oil which I loved, so I placed an order for Snake Charmer which was supposed to be in the same vein, as well as 10 samples or so, choosing those that sounded like my cup of tea and got overwhelmingly good reviews on the forum. My full bottle of Snake Charmer was very, very weakly scented; I was disappointed because Snake Oil is a powerhouse. None of the samples grabbed me either, so all in all I was not impressed.

I have to agree Carrie like I said I only like about half of what I get there scent wise. I do love the snake oil but I am not as impressed by some of the others. I can buy 10 samples and really love maybe 2 or 3 of them, and like 1 or 2 and not care for the rest. Plus the scents dont last long on me and dont give off good throw. I would give Caliphs oil a 8 on the one to ten scale but I do think its to masculine for me.

Tisha,
getting back to Caliph’s Beloved I want to know a few things:

  • how would you compare it to Androstenone? I understand you feel aroused but occassionally peeved off when your male friend wears Androstenone around you but how does the feeling Caliph’s Beloved gives you compare to the feeling you get with None?
  • what do you think about the ‘throw’ of Caliph’s Beloved. From what I can see, the product is designed to stimulate the wearer’s own sexual energy but what about others around you. Do you think it has the potential to affect others around like a pheromone or is the scent too weak?
  • also regarding the locket you recommended before, have you tried one personally yourself? Generally I find when putting pheromones on clothing though for example or hair even, the effects are far weaker so I am wondering if I will get a similar effect with the locket… what do you think?

Thanks,
Visionary

I would say the cinnamon (top note) has a throw of about 5 or 6 feet. But at 3 to 4 you get the best results because the (middle note) kicks in. I get a sweet rose as the (bottom note) but its very subtle and you only seem to notice it briefly and once in a while.
It is designed to arouse the wearer more than those around them but it is a attractive smell that will have people around you going HMMMM. I felt I was noticed more when I wore it. I bought a sample bottle and it only has a few applications in it but I felt it did arouse my husband but not to the extent that cops do.

Caliphs scent never makes me feel peeved off no matter how much I smell. I feel slightly aroused and content from the scent. It worked much the same on my husband when I was wearing it. He got all snuggly and content. He seemed to touch me more in passing during the day.

Comparativly a little bit of none makes me feel very aroused and makes me think of sex right away. Ok this is embarrassing and TMI but it makes me want to rub up against my SO and touch him everywhere. He dosnt even have to be wearing it and he dosnt wear any kind of scent normally but I have sprayed a little tuth on his shirt a few times. It also gives me a feeling of urgency like “I want sex now”. Caliphs dosnt give me that urgent feeling. I feel more content and open to sex but I dont feel hot and needy.

I would say None wins hands down but I also think the two would compliment each other nicely. I think it would be a very sensual combo.

I do have a few EO lockets that I use once in a while but I never put mones in them and didnt even think of it till my other post when I mentioned it. I do like them and I wouldnt say the throw of the scent is more than if your wearing the scent but it will cause strong sporatic throws as you move around. Its kinda hard to explain but bare with me. As you move about when wearing it, it gives small bursts of scent so someone around you wouldnt get a consistant level sniff. You bend over or turn quick and they get a sudden “HMMM whats that smell” and then its gone till you move around again. Its sort of like teasing. If your sitting still say at a desk or watching a movie the smell wont be noticed by others but as soon as you lean over to grab the popcorn the pendant swings and the scent wafts out. I am not sure how it will work with mones because inside the locket there is a little sponge that you pore the scent on. I dont know how mones would react on a sponge. I think the locket would probably be weaker then wearing the mones but again they could compliment each other nicely. Wear some and put some in locket.

I have been to TAL but it doesn’t give me a link to buy this. Can anyone help me out and give me a link so I can purchase this oil? I ca’nt wait to try it!

13

Hi Binny

There is no link to purchase on the Twilight web page. Once you have become a customer of Black Phoenix you can purchase from Twilight. I dont know if they enforce this rule though.

Anyway to order you must have Pay Pal and you just send them a payment and put in the bottem in the notes section what you want. The shipping prices and address to use for Pay Pal are at the bottom of the page.

I purchased from Twilight without getiing anything from BPAL. I guess they are flexible, it’s a business afterall. For purchase I did what Tisha said.

15

Hey Tisha great posting as always!

With regards to the locket, perhaps it might work well with Androstenone in there. If you don’t want to ‘overwhelm’ a target (can be a major problem for some people) perhaps the sporadic burst may work best. You offer them some Androstenone sexually suggestive ‘teasing’ as the locket moves around but it doesn’t constantly effect them - so you are not beating them over the head with it. Might be one to try for someone out there…

Caliph’s Beloved does look interesting and I would love to hear more people’s experiences (and it would be interesting to see how it goes combined with some of the more ‘erotic’ pheromones like TAF, P79, P83, etc.)
