Vicious Mistress

Why do you think they haven't gotten to you order yet? How long ago did you email them?

I think Tarot: The Hermit might just do the trick for you. It's quiet and subtle, but you catch different notes every now and then, which gives it a whistful element and a desire to figure out what each note is--at least for me.

Yes, I realize that. But I have to admit I didn't at first, which is why I posted that reply.

I'm so glad this thread was started! I never would have gotten "Bow-vhen Shee' out of Baobhan Sith, and never in a million years would I have gotten 'doreen' out of 'eidolon'.

Tarot: Hermit Lightning Tempest Baobhan Sith Embalming Fluid Phantasm

I've only gotten shipping confirmation one time on my order, but they've all come. Same with my officemate. It seems to me they download orders about twice a month (around the 1st and 15th), so maybe they combined both your orders and they should both be to you soon.

How 'bout Loviatar? Sassy with a snap of leather.

The new imps I've seen were in a friend's order, and she 'selfishly' keeps her imps at home after letting me sniff them all once. Therefore I can't take a pic, but I should be getting a May 27th order soon, and I'll post a pic then if you'd still like to see how they look.

They're sticky labels that have been folded around the imp leaving a bit of a 'tag' where they're folded together on one side. They don't look as good as the old imps, but I think I like them better.

I think some of the clean unisex scents like Lightning and Tempest would smell yummy on a guy, especiallly in this hot summer weather.

I find that Jolly Roger is similar to Tempest and Lightning (and someone also said Storm). Maybe one of those will be easier on your sinues?

So how long will these be available? For June only?

Our server was down here for a while too. Maybe it's just moving west. Take a break and enjoy the afternoon!

Is Nella's email addy not working? A friend of mine has tried to email her at the bpal.com address and it keeps coming back as undeliverable.

First sniff from the imp: I'm guessing it's the lotus/dragon's blood. Heady, fruity, juicy, sweet. Wearing on skin: I can still smell what I'm guessing is the lotus/dragon's blood. It smells sweet and tangy, like squishing plump, juicy grapes in my hands, and the scent that lingers in the air as the juice runs everywhere. After about an hour, a slightly musty scent comes up from below, while the juicy fruityness stays strong. It gives it a more authentic fruity scent, like the dust on the grape skins when you crush them. I really like this, but I'm not sure it's me. It may end up as a room scent. I have a feeling that those who like most of bpal's fruity scents will love this one. ETA: After this dries down quite a bit, I really like it. It's still fruity and juicy, but not so strong. Maybe I just need to dilute it a bit and slather it all over. It seems to be long-lasting as well.

I simply ADORE Aureus! It is a light scent on me, but it doesn't fade away like I thought it would. It reminds me of laying in a sunny spot on a wooden floor in an old house and just watching the dust motes play in the light. It's very warm, very me. Nothing overpowering. Just gentle notes of amber and woods. I wish I knew exactly what was in this, because I'd love to try similar things. Definitely getting a big bottle of this.

On my skin, this smells like GreenTeaTherapy body spray, but better because it has an extra touch of lemon that GTT doesn't have. I LOVE this! It doesn't change much from the imp, except that the lemon peeks out a bit more on my skin. Fresh, cool, clean. Can anyone say 'big bottle'?

I'm looking at that one too, since I'm also an Aries moon.

If you think a fragrance is too strong for you, you can dilute some of it in a carrier oil. This will lighten the fragrance a bit. Or, if you get a skin reaction from something like cinnamon or lemongrass, combining the scent with a carrier oil and then applying it to your skin will lessen the chance of a reaction, as you are applying a smaller amount of scent spread out over a larger area. You can also combine it with a carrier oil of some type to use in your diffuser, to make a bath or massage oil, or you could combine your scent with water to make a room spray. There are many things you can do. HTH.

I liked this one a lot in the bottle, but after a few minutes on my skin, it turned to cherry 7up. I'm hating my skin chemistry.

From the reviews, I really thought I would like this scent, but on my skin it is just to overpowering and SWEET. It's like some sweet red candy, and has one particular note that seems to stand out on me that is so sweet it turns almost bitter. I just can't seem to figure out which it is. Unfortunately, it's very long-lasting on my skin as well. Funky body chemistry. Edited to add that when diluted, this is something I would love to spray in my closet so my clothes smell like it. Ijust can't wear it on my skin.

Leather. Leather. Leather. Let me wipe the drool off my lip and try to collect my thoughts. Mmmmm...leather. I'm so glad I don't have a man to slather this on at the moment. He wouldn't be able to come up for air for days.

I really want to like Glasya. I love the warmth and spicyness of it. I just can't like the way it turns powdery on myskin. Can someone recommend something similar that doesn't have a powdery dry-down?

I really wanted to like this one, but I can't. From the bottle, it smells like pulling plants out of fresh earth in the garden, mixed with hot green tea. But on me, it turns strongly green--too green for me. The vetiver makes itself known and then the violet comes out and sucker punches you. Very long-lasting too. I think this would smell good on a man. Just not me. Edited to add that a friend of mine loved it on first sniff and it smells good on her, so it's probably just my skin.

Out of the bottle: I smell oranges and cherries, and a touch of almonds. Hmm.. Yummy, fruity, but very strong and sweet. Since I liked the other cherry/almond scents better on, I decided to wear it today. Wearing: As much as I want to like it, this turns to cherry chapstick on my skin.
