JEZEBEL Biblical witch, priestess of Astarte, and general troublemaker. A true role model for today's upwardly mobile Modern Woman. A gloriously decadent blend of honey, roses, orange blossom and sandalwood.
I received Jezebel in a rollerball, mixed with jojoba.
Jezebel is SWEET. All orange blossom and honey when I first put it on, almost candy-like in it's intensity. It dries down into a softer orange, almost powdery on my skin but retains the sweetness.
I have to be careful with this one as it can overpower me with a sugar rush.
A scent celebrating Sir Francis Dashwood's Order of the Knights of St. Francis of Wycombe, also known as the Hellfire Club. A swirl of pipe tobacco, hot leather, ambergris, dark musk and the lingering incense smoke from their Black Mass.
Hellfire is the first imp I have ever owned and tried. I received it as a rollerball, mixed with jojoba oil.
The first time I wore Hellfire, I got all the rich smoky tobacco, the leather and smoke that the description promises. I wanted to be in a smoky cigar bar somewhere, listening to jazz and swirling warm brandy in a snifter. That only happened the very first time.
Since then, Hellfire smells very warm and sweet, very creamy on me. I really think that my skin amps sweet scents from the few imps I have tried. I like Hellfire very much as it makes me feel very warm inside.
I do miss that smokiness from my first wearing though ...
I was introduced to BPAL through another online community that I am an active member in, the LHC. Since first reading about BPAL I have spend countless hours pouring over the boards here, reading recommendations and reviews, reading about the different notes available in the different scents and how they play with one another.
Apparently I have a new addiction! I have a huge list of what I want to try and a very small list of the few imps I have collected. I love the fact that BPAL takes inspiration from so many of the things I love, like HP Lovecraft and astrological signs. It amazes me that the names of the scents really do match the scent itself.
I wanted to have a place that I could list what scents I have tried and what I want to try without having documents on different computers. (I'll admit, I'm bad and sneak minutes at work to read more reviews! )
That's what this blog will be for, a journal detailing my reviews for myself and my wish list.
