Hi, all --
I'm new to BPAL and this forum. I received my first order this week -- imp's ears of Loviatar, Hellfire, Black Lotus, Bruja, Queen Mab, and Lightning (plus freebies of Obeah and Nine Mysteries).
I have highly acidic skin (or perspiration) -- bugs never bite me, honestly, and I can't wear watches with metal bands any more, because the underside of the band becomes all corroded after only a few months of wear.
I've always been able to wear eau de parfum/eau de toilette sprays from makers such as Liz Claiborne and CK, and the scents don't radically change throughout the day. I also have been able to wear a blend I made myself of sandalwood oil from The Body Shop and lavender oil from a small store near me, and that scent doesn't change throughout the day.
And then I received my BPAL order. So far I've worn Loviatar, Lightning, and Queen Mab (each on a different day, not combined!), and within 30-60 minutes of application, each scent had changed to a Play-Doh-like scent.
I know that different scents will react differently with different people, and I expected that. But I didn't expect each scent to turn to Play-Doh.
I don't think those 3 scents -- Loviatar, Lightning, and Queen Mab -- have any notes in common, so I don't know if a note is really fighting with me or not.
I'm wondering if the oils might just be too strong for me straight out of the imps, and if my problem might be solved by diluting the oils in a carrier oil.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
