BPAL stuff
Because of some ordering problems I had a year ago with BPAL I still had 6 imps that I hadn’t gotten yet. I completely forgot about this until last night when I’m going through my BPAL collection. I’m going to start making a list of ones I like and ones I don’t like.
One of them I really like is Casanova. Sometimes it reminds me of my Mother because she wears something with a similar scent, I’ll have to ask her what it is. It smells nice both going on, but when it mixes with my skin it tends to get a little sweeter. A few hours later the scent is nearly gone. I don’t like completely overpowering scents, but I do like them to last longer then a few hours.
These are the ones I’m getting in a few weeks:
Y’ha-nthlei - A great undersea metropolis located below Devil’s Reef. A swirling, lightless, effervescent scent: the deepest marine notes with bergamot, eucalyptus and foamy ambergris.
Thoughts: I’m excited about this one because my sign is water and having moved away from the ocean I’m feeling the distance. I love the smell of eucalyptus too.
Shoggoth - An amorphous, radiant, incandescent scent. Ever changing, protoplasmic and primordial: white amber, green coconut meat, iris, palmarosa, Chinese peony, lime, water lily, snowdrop, muguet, lemongrass, osmanthus, wisteria, glassy musk, and hinoki.
Thoughts: This one seemed smooth to me, with the coconut and iris and lily, etc. I’m curious how it will smell on me.
Lightning - Lightning slashing the midnight skies over the endless reaches of the ocean. The electric tang of ozone, marine notes, and a drop of sharp rain.
Thoughts: I love electricity, and I love the smell of ozone in the air during lightening storms. I’m curious how they are going to get that wonderful smell in an imp, but knowing BPAL, they will.
Ode On Melancholy - Beauty, joy, pleasure and delight: devastated. This is the scent of the hopelessness, torment and despair of love. Lavender and wisteria, heart-wrenching pale rose, desolate white sandalwood and thin, tear-streaked white musk.
Thoughts: I love lavender and I’m curious the scent mixed with musk and sandalwood.
Ouija - Lush parlor rooms draped in thick velvets and gilded in gold, unearthly whispering in the distance, fleeting flashes of wraithlike figures rushing just outside your vision, the chill of a phantom presence brushing by your cheek, the inscrutable knowledge that disembodied eyes are peering at you from darkened corners? this is the essence of Victorian-era spiritualism: rosewood, oak and teak notes with wispy blue lilac, tea rose, dried white rose and ethereal osmanthus.
Thoughts: I looked at this one mainly because I have a level 70 mage on Draka named Ouija, but when I read the scent, especially the blue lilac I was intrigued.
Veil - A quiet scent, soft, calm and enigmatic. A perfume of mystery, of whispers, and of secrets behind secrets. White sandalwood, lilac, gardenia, violet, orris, lavender and ylang ylang.
Thoughts: Seems light and flowerly, the lilac and gardenia mixed together.
Ok, I’ll make note of the other scents as the days go past and what I might want to give away or trade, just let me know.
