BPAL duets and trios

I was chatting with someone about BPAL perfume oils and how their complex blends never end up smelling that complex. I think their duets and trios (menage à trois) hold up very well and smell like the listed notes. This is a comment I wrote that I thought would be relevant here.
I've had good luck with their "limited edition" duets and trios, just 2-3 ingredients. They tend to be very accurate to what they say. They usually run for several months, so there's time to get a sample from someone's decant circle and also a bottle later, but I have blind bought a few of them.
here are some I like for reference, even though they're not all in current production.
Milk, Burnt Honey & Ambrette seed **nice for its genre**
Cacao & Oud **nice**
Honeysuckle & Wisteria
Elderberry Flower & Sandhill Plum (not as interesting)
There are a lot that I find intriguing, but I've been trying to buy less BPAL over the last year. A few I'm pretty interested in now. (they are on their way out this month to make room for new ones.)

Caramel, Teakwood, and Vetiver
Almond Blossoms, Patchouli, and Sea Salt
Coffee Bean, Oak Bark, and Patchouli
Oakmoss, White Sage, and Woodland Fern
Sandalwood, Lime, and Tahitian Ginger
I have a lot of florals, so I'm not as interested in those offerings rn.
Looks like Duets are not live, but this is their page:
