BPAL, part 3

So now it comes down to what to get in the next order. And because I haven't bored you enough with the strike talk, you get to experience my indecision.


These ones I haven't tried at all, but they sound very appealing:

Al-Shairan - clove, peach and orange with cinnamon, patchouli and dark incense notes.

Baghdad - Amber, saffron and bergamot with mandarin, nutmeg, Bulgar rose, musk and sandalwood.

Bengal - musk with honey, peppers, clove, cinnamon bark and ginger.

Black Pearl - Coconut, Florentine iris, hazelnut and opalescent white musk.

Centzon Totochtin - Bittersweet Mexican cocoa with rum, red wine, and a scent redolent
of sacrificial blood.

Cerberus - deep chocolate, deeper musks, with a dash of fig, bittersweet walnut, and the
wild essences of juniper berry, cubeb and rum.

Eden - fig leaf, fig fruit, honeyed almond milk, toasted coconut and sandalwood.

Elegba - His ofrenda contains coconut, tobacco and sweet, sugared rum.

Eris - A suitably disjointed scent, bursting with gleeful mayhem: wet fruits and sharp mimosa with Martial spices and a deceptive flash of floral.

Grog - Arrr! Avast ye, matey! This be the scent of pirate rum!

Loralei - Neroli, sandalwood, ylang ylang.

Lust - Uncontrollable passion and insatiable sexual desire: red musk, patchouli,
ylang ylang and myrrh.

Shattered - A blend of white champagne notes, grapefruit, lotus, slivered mint and
crystalline aquatic blooms.

Sin - Thouroughly corrupted: amber, sandalwood, black patchouli and cinnamon.

Succubus - Mimosa, orange blossom, neroli and bergamot with a drop of sweet clove.

Tempest - The scent of the first gentle rain before the storm.

Tezcatlipoca - Deep cocoa laced with patchouli, leather armor, ritual incense, and a touch
of Xochiquetzal’s flowers.

Vinland - Crisp northern wind blowing over loganberry, wild roses, prairie crocus, iris
versicolor Linné, mountain avens, yellow birch bark, mayflower and maple leaf.

Voodoo - A deep, powerful, resonant blend of myrrh, patchouli, vetiver, lime, vanilla,
pine, almond and clove.

These ones I have smelled when other people ordered them, and liked them, although I haven't tried them all on me:

Enbalming Fluid - A light, pure scent: white musk, green tea, aloe and lemon.

Jester - Huckleberry and red currant with the incisive bite of neroli.

Old Shanghai - The crisp, clean scent of green tea touched with lemon verbena and
honeysuckle.

Seraglio - Sweet almond and Mysor sandalwood enveloped by a heady veil of Bulgarian
Rose, neroli, nutmeg, clove and orange peel.

Severin - Dry black teas, Earl Gray, and leather.

Sudha Segara - Sweet milk and warm, healing ginger with a touch of golden honey and
our blend of Ambrosia.

Szepasszony - A chilly, tempestuous whirlwind of clear, airy notes, slashing rain, and a thin undercurrent of white flowers.

Tamora - Amber, heliotrope, golden sandalwood, peach blossom and vanilla bean.

Titania - A nocturnal bounty of fae dew-kissed petals and pale fruits: white grape, white peach, iced pear, musk rose, sweet pea, moonflower and snapdragon.

Wanda - Her scent is a deep red merlot with a faint hint of leather, sexual musk and
body heat over crushed roses, violets and myrtle.

I'm leaning toward Al-Shairan (peach! clove!), Cerberus (chocolate! fig!), and at least one of the coconut ones, probably Black Pearl, because I am deep in coconut love right now. And once again it becomes completely clear that I am attracted to food scents. I haven't totally decided, yet, plus I will get at least a 6-pack of imps, so I have a few more spaces to fill.

I know, I shouldn't be spending ANY money right now, but it's really not much, and I had already decided to do this before the lockout, and, and. I'll probably feel guilty for days, but at least I'll smell fabulous at the time.

Hey send me your new address, and I will send you imps of Centzon Tototchin and Tempest (I think I still have CT, I need to check). They are both imps I couldn't swap on the forums and don't work on me. CT, sadly, has wine, which smells like rancid plastic on my skin. But you can have these for free!

If you like Centzon Tototchin, let me know as I have an almost entirely full 5ml I'm looking to swap or sell or something.

For some reason I thought I liked the imp enough, but once I got the bottle I think I'd already fallen harder for other scents so it doesn't really make the cut of those I need a 5ml of.

I think it's too chocolate or something for me.

If she doesn't want it, what would you be looking to sell it for? (I only have imps so I don't know that I could swap)- I dropped my Centzon Tototchin imp last night, and I liked it so very much.
