I decided I am participatiing in the Entire General Catalog Circular Swap.
On April 29, I offered my first pack of imps to the group, consisting of:
Dance of Death, Darkness, Hemlock, Les Fleurs Du Mal, Nephilim, Wolfsbane, Wrath.
On May 4, I decided I was going to go through all of my imps and donate as much as I possibly could, which consisted of:
Absinthe
Aeval
Amsterdam
All Night Long
Belladonna
Black Rose
Brisingamen
Carnal
Casanova
Dana O'Shee
Delight
De Sade

Hecate
Incantation

London

Marquise De Marteuil
Morocco
New Orleans
Nocturne
Nyx

Perversion
Queen of Sheba
Ra
Red Queen
R'Lyeh
Santa Eularia Des Riu
Santa Muerte
Santo Domingo
Satyr
Scarecrow
Sin
Sri Lanka
Tamora
Thalia
Venice
Wilde
Many of these I have not given a proper test. I will test all of the ones I need to, according to the sniffing, dabbing guidelines, before they get sent off.
I have decided to use my blog to record this whole experience! I have never been part of a circular swap, but it seems like fun, and this is definitely the best one for me because I have dreamed for a long time of trying the entire general catalog.
I am hoping to find some treasures in this endeavor, things I may have never ordered myself, but that I love, and will order bottles of!
This is how quickslvr organized my packages:
pink.owl -
#1: Dance of Death, Darkness, Hemlock, Les Fleurs Du Mal, Nephilim, Wolfsbane, Wrath
#2: Aeval, Carnal, Morocco, O, Red Queen, R'lyeh, Scarecrow
#3: Amsterdam, Brisingamen, Hecate, Lust, Sin, Sri Lanka, Tamora
#4: Absinthe, Casanova, Dorian, Has No Hanna, Nocturne, Ra, Santo Domingo
#5: All Night Long, Hades, Lion, Marquise De Marteuil, Perversion, Santa Eularia Des Riu
#6: Belladonna, Delight, Incantation, Lampades, Maiden, New Orleans
#7: Black Rose, De Sade, Kitsune-Tsuki, London, Nyx, Queen of Sheba
#8: Dana O'Shee, Santa Muerte, Satyr, Thalia, Venice, Wilde
How I want to organize my testing is: By package, each scent gets a short review, and either a "for me" or "not for me" conclusion, and if it warrants a bottle, the size bottle I want.
Am I crazy? For Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, I AM.
