To be honest. The biggest problem with a feedback system is - how the hell do you get feedback if NO ONE will deal with you if you have none??

John Cryer is the one on the TV show. He played Duckie As for Harry Dean Stanton, he is now on the HBO series Big Love playing.. well... a cult leader. *shudder* creeeepy. I'll have to look up the writer

Boozy Fruit. I was a bit warm when I put this on and it was like "woah" Imagine generic "fruit juice" left on the porch all day in the middle of the summer to "stew" - That's the smell I get off this. Sticky sweet and intoxicating. It's not bad at all.. In the dry down it gets floral and sweet. Although I don't dislike Grand Guignol overall, I'm not sure I'll be picking it out of the imp box again.

I found this at the bottom of the imp box... poor, unloved *sniff* I am sure it was a frimp. I'm not sure about this one. It smells... Funny. Not bad, just funny. I think the funny is the copal, which is something I'm wholly unfamiliar with. I do smell the florals, and some kind of soft spice. Definitely orange, too.. I like the orange a lot.. It makes me think of sitting in the sun on a warm, dry day when all the flowers are up and blooming, and eating an orange (which I make a mess when I do!) Exotic definitely fits. I really like this one...Lazy lounging, exotic scent, that makes even a cold day feel warm and happy.. Its something I'll be bringing out more often on Sundays, when I need the comfy happy feeling when I'm at work.

I like Zorya for that upscale sophisticated feeling.

Who do I email with questions? BPAL/BPTP contact info
evanesce replied to kebechet's topic in BPAL FAQs
Just a small note, she also noted that there were only 3/4 of the 3 imp packs (my math says that 18, which means she got 12 or so..), and no "frimps" - I'm assuming this means she didn't get 6 imps, and also did not get 6 imps she did not order in their place. That's my assumption... aside from that... I would LOVE free cheese!!!!!! ETA: I've never had to contact the Lab's CS. And ya know what? To mean that means A+ CS BPAL is one of the *few* items I purchase online that I don't have to agonize over... And I'm worry wart. -
Mine last forever, for others they last three applications... There's another thread on this some where...

Forest & Woods Scents (with and without evergreens)

I think Yggadrasil has a pine note in it, I was very very allergic to it.. -
Refined, elegant, aristocratic.. yeah, definitely This is a spicy, oriental.. And Jasmine. This is the sexy woman at the bar, wearing a black dress, drinking stoli straight and not looking at any one. When you try to talk to her, she just stares at you. When she does talk to you, you have no clue what she's saying, because it's in Russian. I think I'm love

When this came out of the bottle, I was so very worried. Cut Grass is all I smelled. I put it on anyway, it's only fair. When I was a little girl, my family and I lived in a swampy little area, and the people there liked to mow their grass first thing in the morning. They would mow the grass and all the other varities of plant life, and tend to their gardens. Roses and mint were both prevalent in the area... and we didn't have a/c, so my windows were always open. I woke up to that smell every morning in the summer, for 4 years. It's a lovely smell... mixed with my mom and dad's morning shower smells making their way into the hall (tone soap and sauve shampoo, and mom's bill blass perfume)... That's what this smells like. Morning in the summer when I was a kid. Cut grass and flowers and clean soap and my mom's perfume. The flowers and the mint are the outside, carried on a breeze, the sandalwood my mom's perfume. It's a perfect scent of a lazy Sunday morning in the spring/summer, or a pick me up on a depressing dreary winter day.

If all my favorite scents could be wrapped up in a perfume, this might quite possibly be what it smells like.. the white musk, the patchouli, the poppy.... Wet it was just lovely, all musk and this glassy, far away scent.. As it's dried on my arm it's just gotten better.. the soft patchouli comes out on me (because me and my skin adore it). This is a patchouli even my mom (who thinks it smells like dirty hippies) could love. The poppies aren't too floral on me... they give it a girly edge. I adore it. I am so glad I bought an entire bottle, unsniffed.

13... When I opened the box from the lab, I smelled brownies. I found the bottle, which obviously got a little oil on the outside of it too... And still.. BROWNIES! While backing.. Almost brownie batter. Now, I don't like chocolate scents... but I gave this one a try. On me, it's easily summed up as a chocolate cake, decorated with live flowers. It smells soft and chocolately, and when you get up on it, you can barely smell the flowers in the background. I don't know if it's for me or not. I don't regret buying it though it is lovely I'm just not sure if I wanna smell like brownies!

When you need something comforting or cheering

If it's a really shitty ass day, usually Black Cat or Cheshire Cat. -
I adore roses, and florals... so I gave the Ace my best shot. It smelled wonderful in the bottle. Perfect in every way, even if a little strong. I put it on and gave it a minute. Its dryer sheets and my grandmother's cheap floral perfume. It has a lot of throw off of me. But yeah... the dryer sheets thing. It doesn't fade, it just gets stronger. And the throw makes it become more over whelming. Ahh well... It is lovely, just not on me.

Chaos Theory II: The Butterfly Effect #CCLXXXV (285) This one's soft and smooth. I really like it. It seems to have Sandalwood, a touch a vanilla, maybe some cinnamon. In fact the vanilla is almost more of a vanilla flower smell.. its beautiful, really. It smells the same on my skin as the bottle. I think this would smell great in an oil burner. Chaos Theory II: The Butterfly Effect #CCLXXXVIII (288) I can't place this one. It's green and astringent. It smells like a bath oil I had from Victoria's Secret when I was a kid. I don't think I like it and I can't even place the notes. Not green tea, because it doesn't smell smooth and nice and bright. I don't know, I'll let Jody have at the notes and see what he smells and get back to you all. Previously reviewed by gingersnapp.

It currently appears to be taking 8-10 weeks for orders to be filled. And internationals can take a bit longer. Check the "Click-n-ship" and "I got my order!" threads - everyone's pretty good about saying when they ordered and when they recieved their stuff. It seems they're working through April right now. Be patient. If you think it's lost, email the lab's customer service dept. Here's the post from Brian about their progress: "However there are some orders as far back as 4-1 that are being held up by some certain oils and we will ship them out as soon as we are able. ((snipped)) Thanks for your understanding. - Brian "

This is a flowery vanilla scent on me. In the bottle it was very sharpy and "perfumey" and it stayed that way awhile. In fact I was worried as it bothered me a lot and made my nose itch - I suspect it is the jasmine. It's calmed down a lot. It now smells like cookies on me. Overall? Not bad.
-
Aglaea is just absolutely divine. I'm in love. Its all peaches and apricot. I think the wine is what keeps it more Adult, rather than My Little Pony scratch-n-sniff. Its definitely an uplifting spring scent. Wet, and first applied, the peach is the strongest, with a hint of wine. As time goes on, it definitely stays fruity and happy. It doesn't fade on me at all. It stays over night. I adore it. This is definitely a big bottle.
-
As I continue through all those imps of mine... Thalia. In the bottle it was cheery and fruity. I smiled just at the smell of it. It stayed pretty fruity, with a hint a champagne for awhile. Now, a few hours later though - its just generic floral. I wish it had held on to more of it's original fruity bounciness. Not bad, I just don't like the dry down at all.
-
This has quickly become my favorite scent to wear. Ever. I keep it in my purse (that's high up on my perfume food chain let me tell you!) It does, in fact, smell like CK One on me. And I liked One... but this fades more into something sexy and ambiguous to me.. It doesn't stay all day though, but I like reapplying Oddly enough it smells bad on Jody and he dislikes it on himself. But its great on me. Maybe it's all the testosterone Its on the "Big Bottle" List

On me, Sudha Segara and Vicomte de Valmont blended right into my skin, Queen Mab too, which smells very very "clean" on me.
-
The first time I smelled this in the bottle, I thought it would be good. My boyfriend just went "Motor Oil" I brushed him off, thinking he ws nuts. Now, I have it on. Motor Oil it is. Really expensive motor oil... Maybe the garage where Jaguars are fixed. Still Motor Oil. I smell the lime and the rest, the vetiver.. but still there's that motor oil scent. :\ Ahh well...

On me, this smells like walking into a room where someone is making large amounts of tea on a spring day just after it's rained, with the windows all open. Its gloomy, but in a comfortable kind of way. I think I'll be saving this imp for those rainy days off when I stay at home and read.
-
I'm no good at these., but I'm making myself The easiest way I can describe this is that it is something I would love to clean my house with. Perhaps it's the lemon. I like wearing though. Its light and floral. It didn't do much at all my skin. It's not holding on very well though. There's no "throw" or anything.. Overall - I like it. I'll be keeping the imp and might consider a 5mL in the future.
-
I think I have the world's most sensitive nose. If I wore enough Samhain or Black Cat to kill a 5mL in a month I'd be a walking migraine (and people around me would complain). I radiate off a lot of heat though, so smells come off of me really easily... I haven't even made a dent in my Samhain
