    Different smells/colors, same perfume

    Has anyone else noticed changes in Tempest and/or Lightning? I used to LOVE Tempest. I have never found a perfume anywhere that I liked as much. It smelled crisp and clear the first few times I bought it, then when I purchased it about a year ago it smelled like it had some kind of musk added to it. Musk and I do not go well together. Lightning was really similar to Tempest so I sold the Tempest bottle and ordered that instead. I haven't ordered since last year but I was hoping that Tempest would be back to normal by now so I placed an order a few weeks ago. I explained my old problem with I ordered and asked if the bottles of Tempest that they have still have that musk note to them, to send Lightning instead because it was the closest substitute I've found. Well, I got my order today. They sent Lightning, which I guess means Tempest still smells musky. I was really excited until I opened the bottle - it smells NOTHING like it used to. There is no crisp ozone note at all, in fact it smells just like lemon pledge. I even dabbed a little bit on hoping it would morph on me but it didn't get any better. The only other scent I know of that smells like T / L used to is Sea of Glass, but it's been a long time since I ordered that imp and I don't know if it has been changed too.

    Tempest

    Tempest is the first of 13 BPAL scents I've tried and so far it's my favorite. I LOVE it and I ordered a big bottle, plus a bunch of imps. Actually, to me it smells like a peony garden during a storm. When I was a kid our neighbors had a huge garden full of peonies and we used to play in it. That's exactly what it smells like to me. A lot of the people I've been around since I started wearing it have asked me what kind of perfume I was wearing and told me that it smelled great. I think I'm addicted.
