Lush to BPAL scent comparisons (BNever included too)
scarletlibris replied to Vanilla's topic in Recommendations
For information, the limited edition 'Twilight' shower gel is basically liquid TKO. -
When your favorite GC blends are discontinued

Is there anything similar to Yvaine? Nothing from the GC has jumped out at me so far. -
Best BPALs for SUMMER - is it hot, sweltering, sticky outside?

Sturgeon Moon! Water, cucumber, lovely in baking weather, splish splash. Sea of Glass! Ozone with an amber (?) drydown - like being by the sea on a super-hot day. Numb! Hated at the time but it's the perfect 'baby powder in the fridge' scent. -
The Lion sounds like it'll be bang on the mark then... Interesting then that so many of the scents mentioned have amber in, because I didn't get ambe from any of them! Golden Priapus was lovely but in a "spicy vanilla walking through the forest" way. Spellbound was just overwhelmingly "little hippy shop that sells candles and sequinned skirts", and gave me a headache. Baghdad sounds promising though. Not sure about dragon's blood as I don't think I know what it smells like.

So I've just tried Brisingamen for the first time and oh my GOD - this is the long-lasting, sexy warm scent I've been looking for since swearing off the other perfumeries and going BPAL. I assume it's the amber that's doing it - I'm not getting much/any myrtle or carnation (bleeegh) from it. So my question - which other amber scents are there that I should try? I have an imp of The Lion heading my way soon, but anything else?
