I've been eBaying my posterior off, trying to get my grubby mitts on LEs that I missed out on when they were live on the site (dang unemployment leaving me flat broke) -- I dunno if there's an etiquette on feedback from eBay to here and back or not [next on my list of things to do tonight - look that up] but... I'm aoineko484 on eBay - lemme know if I should be posting to something here (and a link, please - I'm hopelessly forum-nav-challenged of late; it took me 15 minutes to find the 'new blog entry' link!).
In other news...
Everyone's gotten their order but me! Wah! *pout* I want my precioussssss.....
Ah well. It'll probably show in the next couple days. If not, then I'll email and ask after it. 'Cuz, well... WANT.
Hi.
My name is Bronwyn, and I'm a BPAL junkie.
Scents I've tried:
Lilith (yes, please! this one likes me.)
Rakshasa - there is no citrus in this, yet I smell like a citronella candle when I wear it. Veto.
Kathmandu - Nice and spicy. A keeper.
Tushnamatay - ZOMG!!! Luff this. Luff! 5ml is mine! BWAhahaha!
Fae - A little TOO unicorns-and-rainbows floral for me, and yet, the anise note likes me. It fades very quickly, though.
Leanan Sidhe - Love the scent. It, however, does not love me very much. A passing fancy would be asking a bit much, I think.
Coyote - I've tried it twice now, and it seems to be flip-flopping between good and bad for me. Huh.
Tintagel - I like it. It likes me. Life is good. 5ml is on its way next order.
Highwayman - A little too men's-cheap-cologne to me. Naamah, however, luffs it. So. Swapped~!
Vicomte de Valmont - I really need to get the Boy to wear this one. Oh yes...
Snake Oil - Nice, vanilla... oddly strong, though. Needs another try or three to reach a solid conclusion.
Akuma - Nice, citrus and spice, but not really 'me'.
I don't have the nose for all the individual notes in these, so the above reviews are about as poetic as they're going to get, really. More to come later as I go through more of my stash (and get my next order ). So.
Okay, Imps (or 5ml) that I have so far:
===
Kyoto
Neo-Tokyo
Aizen-Myoo
Osun

Rakshasa
Endymion
Suspiro
Bewitched
Phantasm
Embalming Fluid
Whitechapel
Thalia (the Gratiae)
Kitsune-Tsuki
Tintagel (First whiff is "gift shop candles", after, it alternates between wine and florals. Nice.)
Mantis
Fae (Very bright, floral, but... not my style. Still nice, though.)
O
Tushnamatay (This one? Ordered a decant. I can't get enough of it!!)
Leanan Sidhe (Similar to Fae - very floral, not entirely my style, though I like it.)
Highwayman (Definitely not for me - swapped it over Naamah Darling's way.)
The Lady of Shalott
Yggdrasil (I must know! I'm too much of an early Anglo-lit geek to not know!)
Twenty One
Veil
The Coiled Serpent
Parlement of Foules
Dorian
Haven't been active here in a while, but I'm rekindling my luff of BPAL again after a hiatus of letting my oils just sit and languish in my cabinet.
And I'm spreading the BPAL love - I convinced a coworker to start trying some, too. BWAhahah! (Along with Aromaleigh cosmetics.)
