If it smells like a headshop, a church, dirt or the forest (not pine), I'm all over it, basically.

  1. Reminiscing. It still feels strange to be a BPAL "old-timer." Strange to have come back from my hiatus to find that half my collection is suddenly enviable and HTF. Not a bad feeling, just strange. Makes me glad I got in on (almost) the ground floor. Otherwise I'd never have been able to get many of the scents in my collection. Score!

      I miss the cobalt bottles/white labels and when most people via swapping got to try most of the catalog at a time when the GC outnumbered the LEs! :) I am lost a bit now, so many new perfumes, all the time!

      I miss them, too. The cobalt was so pretty and the labels were so elegant looking. I do like the fact that the new labels are oil resistant. But I've always been careful with my bottles and their labels and never had an issue with drippage or spills, so it's just a nice bonus instead of a necessity.
