    Carnal

    I am new to BPAL, and Carnal was one of he first imps I tried. Please keep that in mind. On me Carnal is super sweet, like fig newtons spread with marmalade. I don't perceive this as a sexy blend; it smells guileless and excessive. I imagine a toddler playing in the kitchen, mixing together her favorite treats. I'm sure that's due to the famous "amping" effect. Layering with something sharper or drier might help--I didn't have the right sort of thing in my tiny stash, so Ill have to try that later. This is a pretty blend, even though it doesn't work on my skin. Toddler images aside, I enjoyed trying it and I think it would make a yummy candle.
