BPAL

  • Favorite Scents
    I'm addicted to marine scents and obsessively seek out fragrances that make me feel like I'm close to the ocean. I also love rich, warm gourmands like coconut, tonka bean, milk, and sugar cane. Other favorite notes: soft powders, lemon, lavender, bergamot, boozy notes (especially bourbon), and pumpkin

    Lorelei

    Lorelei breaks my heart. It's so deliciously beautiful, but it only lasts about 10 minutes on my skin. I don't know how neroli, sandalwood, and ylang ylang combine to make such a perfect aquatic, but they do. Lorelei smells like cold sea spray and melancholy. It makes me think not as much of mountains by a river (as in the Lorelei legend) but rather of a rocky sea coast on a winter's day. I love, love, love aquatic/marine scents, and this is definitely one of the best I've smelled. Sadly, Lorelei (my imp says "Loralei") has zero staying power for me. It starts fading after just a few minutes, and it's completely nonexistent by the 15-minute mark. It's enough to make a girl want to jump into the Rhine in despair.

    Follow Me Boy

    A houdoun recipe dating back almost 150 years. This blend is favored by prostitutes, exotic dancers and others in the sex industry for its power to attract, seduce, and enthrall. Ensures financial gain and increased profits. After reading the description and then the reviews here, I went ahead and bought a full-size bottle instead of trying an imp's ear first. Somehow I just knew I would love it. (Plus, powdery scents usually do well with my body chemistry, so I figured it was worth the risk.) Full disclosure time: I stripped in college, and still enjoy supporting my "sisters" by visiting strip clubs with my husband. For those of you who don't hang around exotic dancers very much, there's a distinct "stripper scent" that most dancers have that men just go wild for. The secret to this scent is mixing a light perfume or body spray with baby lotion. It may not sound sexy on paper, but there is something deeply erotic and strangely comforting about that soft, clean, powdery smell. For years, I've been trying to find a fragrance that replicated this scent...and in Follow Me Boy, I have finally found it. This blend has amazing throw and works beautifully with my skin chemistry. The powder note is the strongest, followed by a soft vanilla-y base and a little bit of jasmine. It reminds me of expensive, luxurious body dusting powder and brings to mind the idea of sexy black silk robes over bare skin. It is devastatingly sexy -- not only can I not stop sniffing myself, but my husband can't stop either. If you're looking for a truly erotic scent, and if powdery scents typically work for you, then I can't recommend Follow Me Boy highly enough.
