BPAL

  • Favorite Scents
    Gomorrah, Yemayah, Tzadikim Nistarim, Rosalind, Titania, Aizen-Myoo, and Dublin. Rose Red is pretty nice too. Also, Hollywood Babylon and Tombstone are growing on me. :) As you can probably discern, I'm a 'fruity'. I also enjoy realistic grass and greenery notes. Disliked notes: Almond, Jasmine (goes soapy!), gardenia, tea (in most cases)

    Moscow

    I love carnation, and it comes out nicely in this blend. Lily of the Valley is another favorite floral, and even with the influence of the Jasmine I can still discern it. I like this, and find it almost masculine. It would be very interesting on a guy.

    Crossroads

    Yep, there's Jasmine in here. Which means, *wham!*, it comes to the forefront, dominates all the other notes, and then turnes to powder. Funfun. *swaps*

    Sybaris

    The pinnacle of wealth, luxury, self-indulgent pleasure, voluptuousness and sensuality. Bright violet with sweet clove, Mediterranean incense notes and tonka bean. I thought I'd love Sybaris, reading the reviews. But when I tried it I got this odd, plasticky/rubbery/medicinal/ICK! scent. Maybe all those lovely notes just didn't work together in a way my skin would appreciate.

    Sri Lanka

    Eh. It's a very, very dry scent on me, sort of incensy and slightly woody, but there's no... depth. No sweetness or florals or fruit or distinctive spices. I don't hate it, but it doesn't do anything for me.

    Machu Picchu

    Fruity, flowery, green. A little tropical, but notable because it actually has a darned decent throw on me. Yay! Although, read most of the other reviews, I seem to be in the minority. If your skin hates honey and amps jasmine, then perhaps it's similar to mine and you should give Machu Picchu a try.

    Tombstone

    Two words: Hell's rootbeer. My skin seems to amp this like crazy, turning it into a very strong vanilla-sassafrass scent. Over the few months I've had it, I've found that it's actually a kind of nice soothing scent. You know, accidently put on a scent that hates you in the morning, suffer through part of the day, and then sniff this and it perks you right up. It certainly smells... clean. Though not soapy. I don't like it, but... I like it a lot.
