BPAL

  • Favorite Scents
    almond; cinnamon; vanilla; sage; pretty much anything with Snake Oil (as I'm discovering, happily); smoky autumn scents (Samhain, Devil's Night); peppers; sugared-mostthings; foody scents I'm not crazy about florals or very incensy blends

    Sun/Venus conjunction in Virgo, square Saturn....Mars in Aquarius...Moon in Capricorn....Mercury in Leo....Aries rising. I think that's pretty much all you need to know. And yes, I'm from California...how did you guess? :)

    Snow White

    Sadly, for the first time ever, I understand what people mean when they talk about getting the "Play-Doh smell." In the bottle: Play-Doh. Wet: Play-Doh. Dry: somehow stronger Play-Doh. Sad. I guess I'll stick to huffing my sniffie of Snow White 2005, and pass this along to someone with better skin than mine.

    El Dia de los Reyes

    This smells, to me, exactly like walking into a Dunkin Donuts on a snowy day--coffee, hot cocoa, and donuts. It's fabulous, and it makes me miss New England!

    TKO

    This stuff is amazing. I totally get the sugary-marshmallowy-lavendery scent that other people describe. I don't usually have problems falling asleep, but my husband does. I've been putting TKO on our pillows at night, and I'm dropping off as soon as my head hits the pillow (and sleeping even harder than I usually do), but he's been falling asleep faster too--and commenting on how much he likes the scent, too (and has encouraged me to buy a bottle, which is never a bad thing). I'm a fan.

    Pink Phoenix

    Oh no! Oh, why, why, why? I was completely prepared to love this, and then... Strawberry soda. Completely. Totally. I can't even remember when I might have had strawberry soda (Fanta, I guess?), but that's what's on my arm now. Stupid skin. Stupid nose. Guess I've never been good at wearing pink...

    Death Adder

    I am currently busy drooling on my right arm while my eyes roll back in my head, so this review will be short. First sniff, and wet on skin: HOLY FREAKING VETIVER. (coupled with, aha, so that IS what vetiver smells like!) Drying down: coconut! But dark, heavy coconut...this is not a tropical drink. Although, hi vanilla! Dry: dark. swarthy. sweet. dangerous. Oh my god...is it...yes. It is. This is a Dangerous Mood scent! I am *so* going to get in (good) trouble wearing this...

    Lilac!

    Ooooh, lilac.... Pontarlier is a great mostly-lilac scent on me...totally reminds me of the lilac bushes in spring when I was a kid. Gorgeous.

    Pontarlier

    Okay, I am totally not a floral girl, and I expected to sniff this and put it right on the swap pile. But. Oh. My. God. I have never smelled lilac like this that wasn't still hanging on a tree. This is amazing. It smells like the spring when I was seven years old. I'm just sitting here sniffing my arm and smiling.

    March Hare

    Oh. Yum. Apricot and cloves...totally. I definitely get the candle-y smell, but holy moley do I smell good. I definitely smell like some kind of baked good....I'm not sure in what situation I'd actually want to smell like this, though....it's not exactly an out-on-the-town scent, and it's not quite a take-me-home-hot-stuff scent (though it does make me smell tarty. Ha!), and it's not exactly an I'm-a-serious-professional scent... But yum. I do smell awesome.

    Saw-Scaled Viper

    Snake Oil with cinnamon, cassia, and red ginger. I smelled this and swooned. Seriously. I freaking *swooned*. It's like cookies...dangerous cookies. "Evil gingersnaps" totally nailed it. I was just about ready to declare my eternal love....when my wrist started to burn. Saw-Scaled Viper gave me what looks exactly like a fresh hickey on my wrist. Thank goodness for scent lockets...

    All Night Long

    Wow, this is a really nice scent--it starts off *very* cinnamony, and then the almondy smell starts to come in. Hmm. I think I might like this....but...wait.... OW! Ow, it burns! Crap! I've never had a skin reaction to an oil before, but I guess this one is just too much for me. Dammit! I like the smell, but the burning is not quite the excitement I was looking for. Off to the swaps...

    Asp Viper (2006)

    Snake Oil with red mandarin, myrrh, and almond. Almond. AND Snake Oil. I am completely smitten. I don't really get the mandarin or myrrh here...just this amazing, almondy Snake Oil. :swoon:

    Creepy

    Amazing. I picked this up thinking it might be "interesting"...but I didn't expect to actually LOVE it. Caramel apples, totally. Sweet, but with a little bit of that apple tartness . It's really amazingly accurate. I probably wouldn't wear it everyday, but I could see getting a lot of use out of this around October!

    Pink Moon 2007

    Okay, I'm getting better overall at picking out new and different notes, but I'm still learning as I go. So it wasn't until I put Pink Moon on that I realized I had no idea what carnation smelled like...and what a nice surprise that was! I'm not big with the florals, so I was a little worried about this one...but it's amazing. Sweet, sugary, a little spicy...and it really does smell pink. Just awesome.

    Smut

    What a great freakin’ word. BPAL LOVES TEH SMUT! Three swarthy, smutty musks sweetened with sugar and woozy with dark booze notes. I can't tell you how much I wanted to like this. I was ready to buy a bottle unsniffed, just from the description and other people's rave reviews...it sounds like EXACTLY my kind of scent. Well....there's a lesson here for me (sadly, again) about my weird body chemistry/weird nose/whatever. First try with Smut: I don't get sugar, or booze, or anything except this really funky musky smell that is actually makes me woozy, but not in a good way. Ended up washing it off. Second try, today: I get a little of the sugary boozy smell, and overall it's a better experience, but there's still this one note that smells...well, smutty, but again, not in a good way. There's this weird dark note that is just not working out for me. It smells...interesting. But it doesn't smell good on me. I am very, very sad about this.... I know I'll give it another chance (just in case?), but this may be a swapper for me.

    Embalming Fluid

    Mmmm, lemony! But there are other, subtler scents behind the lemons...they seem to give the lemony scent some heft, and I like that. I can really see why people rave about this as a summer scent. It's kind of hard to imagine at this particular moment (since we're dealing with snowstorms in April right now), but I could imagine this being a nice, light, crisp scent for summer. Possibly a little *too* light for my tastes, but I get why it's a "classic"!
